Java References

Frequently Used References:

The Complete Java 2 Documentation

contains descriptions of all classes in the Java 2 library. Except for those classes in java.lang, you will need to import the appropriate packages into your program in order to use them. Ask if you have questions. Many of these may not make any sense to you until you finish CS102.

Of particular interest to beginning CS101 students is the Math class, which provides many useful mathematical operations.

The Java Language Specification

provides syntax and semantics for Java language constructs. A working knowledge of C++ is assumed, but once you are familiar with Java, this is a handy reference.

Sun's Java Welcome Page

provides links to a wealth of information on Java, including a variety of documentation.
