Bash Shell Scripting Note: This is not an exhaustive description of Bash. It barely qualifies as introductory. The amount of information on the Bash shell is extensive. There is also an expectation that you have some basics of the command line. There is a wonderful, free bit of documentation in html and PDF form. The … Read More “Ubuntu Topic 3 – Bash Shell Scripting” »
CISS-111 GUI Project Extra Credit In this project you will be revisiting some JavaFX components in addition to building some game logic and reacquainting ourselves with inheritance. The traditional 15-puzzle is relatively easy to solve. There are 15 tiles in a 4×4 grid. The missing 16th tile allows the tiles to be slid around the … Read More “CISS-111 Extra Credit GUI” »

CISS-110 Project 1 The goal of the first project is to familiarize yourself with your integrated development environment (IDE). This is intended to purposefully introduce errors you will correct—preferably one at a time. You should experience how fixing just one error can change or completely disappear. Learning outcomes Interaction with IDE. Interaction with Java Compiler. … Read More “CISS-110 Project 1” »
(Updated November 19, 2024) Short-Circuit Evaluation – Advanced Example The Problem As we know, with the conditional operators && (and) and || (or), we can join multiple Boolean expressions together to form a more complex expression. You may also recall that these operators operate in a mode known as short-circuit. This means that once truth … Read More “Short-Circuit Evaluation – Advanced Example” »
