Java How to Program, Early Objects, Global Edition, 12th edition

Hallmark features of this title

• Syntax coloring for all the Java code reflects how most Java integrated development environments (IDEs) and code editors syntax color code.
• Fonts for emphasis highlight on-screen components in bold (e.g., the File menu) and Java program text in a fixed-width font (e.g., int x = 5;).
• Illustrations and figures include abundant tables, line drawings, UML diagrams, programs and program outputs.
• Heavy math is avoided, leaving it for upper-level courses. Optional mathematical exercises and projects are included for science and engineering courses.
• End-of-chapter exercises include simple recall of important terminology and concepts, focusing on code function (“what does this code do?”); errors (“what’s wrong with this code?”); writing individual statements and small portions of methods and classes; writing complete methods, classes and programs; major projects; generative AI exercises that dig deeper into a variety of topics.
• Student preparation for industry: The authors use the terminology from the latest Java specification document in preference to general programming terms; they also show Java as it’s intended to be used with a rich collection of application programming case studies, focusing on computer science, artificial intelligence, data science and many other fields.
