Master the core concepts covered in AP Computer Science A Exam and gain a solid understanding of programming and fluency in Java.
Course Curriculum
Unit 1: Primitive Types
You’ll learn the fundamentals of Java, a programming language, as well as other foundational concepts for coding.
Unit 2: Using Objects
You’ll explore reference data as a way to represent real-world objects in a digital world and discover methods to perform more complex operations.
Unit 3: Boolean Expressions and if Statements
You’ll delve into the building blocks of algorithms and focus on using conditional statements to solve problems and control results.
Unit 4: Iteration
You’ll learn about iteration, another building block of algorithms that are for repetition.
Unit 5: Writing Classes
You’ll explore how real-world interactions can be expressed digitally by organizing behaviors and attributes into classes, and you’ll examine the legal and ethical implications of computer programming.
Unit 6: Array
You’ll learn techniques and standard algorithms to work with collections of related data, known as data structures.
Unit 7: ArrayList
You’ll delve deeper into data sets, exploring ArrayList objects for larger amounts of data, as well as the privacy concerns related to personal data storage.
Unit 8: 2D Array
Now that you’ve explored 1D arrays, you’ll branch out into 2D arrays and experiment with data sets represented in a table.
Unit 9: Inheritance
You’ll learn how to manipulate programming without altering existing code by using subclasses to create a hierarchy.
Unit 10: Recursion
You’ll work on solving larger problems by solving smaller, simpler versions of the same problem using recursive methods.
