CS 61B Lecture 4: Types and Conditionals

[brunoblur]

only losers can't get what he explains.. awesome professor.. i wish i were his alumnus.

This class is good too, but it's better to take the stanford one first IMO. It will get you more familliar with the Java IDE and holds your hand a bit more at the start. The instructor is also amazing. He's almost a comedian, lol.

nice one

Hey does anybody know how I might download an environment to do the problems for this course? Love to follow along.

[ChicagoJoe670]

@SigmaChuck You can download eclipse. Follow an eclipse hello world tutorial on youtube and you will be all set.

@SigmaChuck I recommend checking out the Stanford CS106A course here on youtube. That class uses Java and the website for the course will teach you how to install and use a special version of Eclipse's Java IDE that was designed to help the students of that course learn the program (toned-down gui with extra menu options). The course itself is a slightly behind this one (zero prior prog exp req), but it also uses java and you'll learn a lot unless you're already proficient in the language.

java float and double are the most annoying type. I mean you DEFINE float and not double but you need to put the 'f' at the end to make it a float otherwise it will be a double. I mean YOU DEFINE IT AS 'FLOAT' hello. Other than that Java is a great language. I love Java more than any other languages out there.

I took data structure before but it was in C/C++ which I didn't like so much. I wish It was Java when I took it.

i love these lectures because they use the standard libraries, i like Stanford's lectures too,but they use their own libraries.

I keep thinkin' this guy would rather be ridin' his skateboard right now.....But good class so far

The ternary operator can achieve similar results, although, I use it in C not Java.

int x = (10 < 20) ? 100 : 10

Thi sis equal to saying

if (10 < 20) x = 100;

else x = 10;

skip to 1:10 to bypass pointless chatter thats non CS related

[bcut]

this guy is cool! listening to his lecture before my midterm makes me feel a lot better!

[Lioobayoyo]

excellent java course for beginners (with some bases). brilliantly clear!

[elizabethpepple]

Your Lectures Rock Mr Shewchuk. Keep Up the good work!

[aboudala]

EEEExcellent!!!REspect to Mr.Swewchuck!! From Greece

[DarcyWLincoln]

Thanks for your videos!!!Really awesome!

[dollaresque]

These lectures should have CS 61B in the title. Good class.

[dollaresque]

Cool! Thanks :)
