Ebook: Starting Out with Java: From Control Structures through Objects, Lab Manual

This lab manual accompanies Starting Out With Java: From Control Structures to
Objects, by Tony Gaddis. Each lab gives students hands on experience with the major
topics in each chapter. It is designed for closed laboratories—regularly scheduled
classes supervised by an instructor, with a length of approximately two hours. Lab
manual chapters correspond to textbook chapters. Each chapter in the lab manual contains
learning objectives, an introduction, one or two projects with various tasks for the
students to complete, and a listing of the code provided as the starting basis for each
lab. Labs are intended to be completed after studying the corresponding textbook
chapter, but prior to programming challenges for each chapter in the textbook.
Students should copy the partially written code (available at www.aw.com/cssupport)
and use the instructions provided in each task to complete the code so that it is operational.
Instructions will guide them through each lab having them add code at specified
locations in the partially written program. Students will gain experience in writing
code, compiling and debugging, writing testing plans, and finally executing and testing
their programs.
Note: Labs 7 and 12 are written entirely by the student using the instructions in
the various tasks, so there is no code provided as a starting basis.
