Objective:

Learning Outcomes:

• Use a variety of integer data types and the concept of overflow
• Use floating-point, character, and string data types
• Use multiple branches for more complex programs
• Use the Boolean data type to store results of conditional statements
• Understand memory usage for single and multi-dimensional arrays/lists
• Combine loops and arrays/lists
• Develop programs with multiple arrays/lists
• Write a first function/method, then return from a function/method and parameterize a function
• Learn reasons to use a function/method
• Introduce abstract data types
• Creating, copying, and deleting objects
• Manipulate text and floating-points during output
• Read input from a string

• Declare and initialize variables with valid identifiers
• Cast between data types
• Develop programs that branch based on user input
• Write expressions with relational and equality operators and develop expressions with logical operators
• Access elements in arrays/lists
