Java - GamerInGeorgia - 04-24-2018

I'm taking an AP course on Java. Currently, I'm on HashMaps. Does anyone else use Java? What do you use it for? Any advice?

I get money for teaching people how to use Java. It's fun, too. (Other people are much better at using Java than I am, but I know enough to help point students in the right direction).

@GamerInGeorgia I'm surprised a high school Java class would go into that level of detail - HashMaps are a fairly advanced concept.

@VinnyVideo - I don't think I'm going too deep into HashMaps. I'm just learning about "keys," "values," and a few methods. But my course went REALLY in depth about Strings and chars. I also learned a lot about Object Oriented Programming. It's quite fun! Other Big Brin

Yeah, that sounds more like the stuff you'd see in a typical intro course for Java. Learning about different data types is an important concept in almost every programming language (except older versions of GM). And while it's a little bit confusing at first, understanding which data types are primitives and which ones are treated as objects will also help you out.
