PRG 420 Week 1 Individual: Analyzing a Simple Java™ Program

Resource:

• Week One Analyze Assignment Zip File

Analyzing Java™ code–that is, reading and predicting the outcome of Java™ code, given one or more inputs–is an essential skill. The ability to analyze code allows you to learn from example code and tutorials. It also allows you to write and debug your own Java™ code.

For this assignment, you will be analyzing the Java™ code in the linked zip file.

Carefully read through the code line by line, then answer the following questions in a Microsoft® Word document:

1. What syntax signals a Java™ comment? (In other words, what symbol(s) tell the Java™ compiler not to process certain text?)
2. Type the line(s) of code that accept user input.
3. Type the line(s) of code that process user input.
4. Type the line(s) of code that produce output.
5. Type the result this program would produce if a user, when prompted, responded by typing “everyone” and then hit Enter.
6. Type the result this program would produce if a user, when prompted, responded by typing in “Mickey Mouse” and hit Enter.
7. Type the result this program would produce if a user, when prompted, responded by typing “Benjamin Franklin” and hit Enter.
