AP Computer Science - Test 2 - Review

General Notes

The test will include topics from

1. material covered in class up to this point, including:
2. material covered in Unit 1, Unit 2, and Unit 3 (available online)
3. material covered in the programming assignments you've written

Things to review in particular

1. Everything we've covered up to this point, including:

   1. Errors - syntax (compile), run-time, logic, overflow, rounding
   2. Data types - int, double, String, boolean

2. Strings, including:

   1. .length() to get the length of a string
   2. .substring(start, stop) to get a subset of a string

3. Methods, including:

   1. declaring methods ( public static returnType methodName( parameterType parameterName) )
   2. calling methods
   3. sending data to a method using parameters
   4. returning data from a method using a return statement

4. Conditionals (if-else) statements, including:

   1. boolean expressions (that have a value of true or false)
   2. if-else statements
   3. Boolean relation operators: <, >, ==, <=, >=, !=
   4. Boolean logical operations: &&, ||, ! ("and", "or", and "not")
   5. Using DeMorgan's Law to distribute a "not" operation
   6. Nested if-else statements
   7. A sequence of if-else statements ("switch-style")
   8. Comparing strings (using the .equals() method)
   9. Comparing double values using the EPSILON strategy
