Java Programming: Arrays, Lists, and Structured Data

Build on the software engineering skills you learned in “Java Programming: Solving Problems with Software” by learning new data structures. Use these data structures to build more complex programs that use Java’s object-oriented features. At the end of the course you will write an encryption program and a program to break your encryption algorithm.

After completing this course, you will be able to:

1. Read and write data from/to files;

2. Solve problems involving data files;

3. Perform quantitative analyses of data (e.g., finding maximums, minimums, averages);

4. Store and manipulate data in an array or ArrayList;

5. Combine multiple classes to solve larger problems;

6. Use iterables and collections (including maps) in Java.
