Lecture 3 | Programming Methodology (Stanford)

Lecture by Professor Mehran Sahami for the Stanford Computer Science Department (CS106A). Professor Sahami finishes his lecture on the program Karel by discussing common errors, comments, and advanced instructions.

CS106A is an Introduction to the engineering of computer applications emphasizing modern software engineering principles: object-oriented design, decomposition, encapsulation, abstraction, and testing. Uses the Java programming language. Emphasis is on good programming style and the built-in facilities of the Java language.

@AddictedYouNoob It's an inherited method from the inherited class. Very valid question. I think he's not explaining that because he's just giving you the basic 1 2 of programming - so you're 'not supposed to think about that' yet :) I'm sure if beepersPresent() method is something like if(beeperAtLocation){ return true;}

@phantomsmokes If you are a absolute beginer, I Suggest learning Small Basic (Made by microsoft)

How else can I practice programming? For example, after I watch this video, what could I do to practice the language he teaches?
