What's new on Learn.java this week?
- We've added two new FRQs (one was late last week):
- FRQ 4 2D arrays - Game Board: lnkd.in/dQDMM9Ff
- FRQ 3 ArrayList - Efficient Workout: lnkd.in/exgfv9QH
Just posted a new #APCSA FRQ for practicing question type 3: Data and ArrayList. Check it out here: learn.java/learning/les...
I've added another practice AP CSA FRQ 4 to Learn.java. Have you students complete and run their code right in the browser.
learn.java/learning/les...
What's NEW this week on Learn.java?
- Added some tutorial videos to the array and 2D array pages
- Added a new AP CSA FRQ 4 on 2D Array (learn.java/teachers/apc...)
We've embedded the Java Playground into tutorials and practice! Check it out: https://social.ora.cl/6013AkVSD
Hear from Tammy Pirmann, professor from Drexel University, on how she uses students' interests to drive engagement and help students uncover the power of computer science. https://social.ora.cl/6018fWimM
Learn how to use pattern matching with records and switch case patterns to write program code that is more readable. https://social.ora.cl/6019AD9mT
A new #APCSA Free Response question for FRQ 4: 2D array has been posted. Check it out: learn.java/learning/les...
Lots of teachers get the "what is it like to be a software engineer" question. Jim has many podcasts on Duke's Corner where you can hear from professionals about the work that they do. Loved meeting Chris. He has a great story! Give it a listen!
Just added some video tutorials to our 2D array pages. Tracing through code can help to make meaning of the syntax and make it more concrete.
- Introduction to Two-Dimensional Arrays: lnkd.in/eHx9KmnR
- Iterating Over Two-Dimensional Arrays: lnkd.in/eFf95Kq6
Just added some video tutorials to our Array Learn pages. Tracing through code can help to make meaning of the syntax and make it more concrete.
- Introduction to Arrays: learn.java/learning/tut...
- Iterating Over Arrays: learn.java/learning/tut...
What's new on Learn.java this week?
- array practice
- array tutorial images to illustrate what it looks like
- String split method practice
- 2D array tutorial
- December newsletter
- Recording of J Card Visuals with Text Blocks
Advent of Code Day 6 part 1 - My solution might be ugly...
- Used a record to do the "Math" learn.java/learning/tut...
- Added a method to clean my data and remove the spaces. Certain there's an easier way, but then you couldn't talk about clean data!

To support you completing the Advent of Code, here are some 2D array tutorials.
- Intro to 2D Arrays: learn.java/learning/tut...
- Iterating Over 2D Arrays: learn.java/learning/tut...
Practice sets to come! Enjoy!
A bunch of resources for beginners and also not so much beginners, I gladly recommend! 👏👏👏
What's new on Learn.java this week? Motivated by doing Advent of Code and looking for ways to support solutions, I've added the following tutorials this week.
- Reading from a text file
- Intro to Arrays
- Iterating over Arrays
- Using Split on Arrays
Advent of Code Day 2...
Seemed really easy, until bullet 3! LOL.
- Added a record to return endSpot and a zeroCount
- Modified my easy mod solution to use a while loop.
- Realized I was double counting if I went negative but also started at zero.

Reading data from a file in a new topic in the #APCSA. Don't wait until ArrayLists to start File reading, students only need to understand method calling and while loops!
Check out the tutorial here: learn.java/learning/tut...
Then try Day 1 of the Advent of Code!
Advent of Code - Did you get a Day 1 Star?
- file reading in the AP CSA style (for better or worse).
- records to capture the rotation as a String and a number!
- void main() and IO class
- Please don't judge how I dealt with the negative numbers :)
