Lecture 1 Objectives

At the end of today's class you should

KNOW:

That a struct in Racket is represented as a class in Java
In Java, everything (data definitions and function definitions) is part of a class
Examples of data and test methods go in their own class
That no matter how data is represented across different programming languages, the information itself is the same, and thus the structure of the data representation is the same

BE ABLE TO:

Define a Java class with methods to represent data such as that captured by Racket struct's

Sample Exam Question:

Define a class to represent the recording of a TV show using Tivo. The information that needs to be recorded about each show is the show's name, the channel number, the time the show starts, and the duration of the show. Provide examples of data. Develop a method isLongShow() that produces true if this show is longer than one hour. Provide test cases for your method.
