Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming with Java III: Exceptions, Data Structures, Recursion, and GUIs

Overview

What you'll learn

• Understand the benefit of exceptions vs. built-in error checking
• Handle an exception by either catching or specifying it
• Read and write simple text files from Java
• Distinguish a checked exception from an unchecked
• Create and manipulate both ArrayLists and LinkedLists
• Understand the differences between array-based data structures and link-based ones
• Identify the base case, reduction step, and recursive call in recursive solutions
• Model the call stack during the execution of a recursive method
• Develop a JavaFX scene with a basic layout and controls
• Attach event handlers to controls and bring life to the scene
• Package the scene and event handlers into a Java application
