Course Overview

Computer programming is a sought-after skill by many technology companies around the globe. The AP Computer Science A: Java Programming Loops and Data Structures program is brought to you by Purdue University and covers the basics relevant to the AP Computer Science A course and its corresponding examination.

The key elements are taken into cognizance by the AP Computer Science A: Java Programming Loops and Data Structures course includes the logic associated with repetition statements such as for, for-each, while, and do-while. These bundles allow for a given condition to be checked repeatedly in a loop to achieve an envisaged task. Thus, it is targeted at first-level students.

The AP Computer Science A: Java Programming Loops and Data Structures training will last for 6 weeks and the participants are expected to dedicate 5 to 10 hours on a weekly basis for maximum impact. It is a self-paced program and is accessible through mobile platforms as well. Thus, the students have a fair bit of autonomy.

What you will learn

Programming skills

The AP Computer Science A: Java Programming Loops and Data Structures certification will help the students gain the following learnings:

Basic conceptual knowledge associated with repetition-based programming logic structures such as for, while, and do-while loops along with their applications
Get equipped with calls for nested loop statements for a given problem statement, its syntax, and insertion of values from the program
Application of the protocols that apply to fencepost errors in the context of run-time situations as well as infinite loops and methods to garner synergies
Working fundamentals associated with Data Structures such as arrays along with indexing to achieve the desired program outcome
Incorporate the basics of the memory management of data structures for optimum call values and implementation of the said logic into the programming bandwidth
Deep dive into an apt selection of the type of loop to be used in a given context as well as importing a suitable 2-dimensional array to hold the integer values
Develop a robust foundation of using recursive functions in complex programming logic scenarios for a quicker response time and reduced load
Equip yourself with key differences between the various types of loop functions available and making the choice for the one that works best for the business problem statement at hand
Put the knowledge of call-stack and conducive exit conditions to use in unique programming scenarios to achieve a higher success rate for multiple variables.

Who it is for

Computer Programmer

The AP Computer Science A: Java Programming Loops and Data Structures training is most suited for students of Computer science who have finished the AP Computer Science A: Java Programming course at Purdue University.

Admission Details

The admission process for the AP Computer Science A: Java Programming Loops and Data Structures course is explained as follows:

1. Account login phase

The option to enroll or view the course has been made available at the top of the program webpage. Should you wish to pursue that path, please ensure that you are logged in to your edX account. The following brief will guide you in achieving it.

Those who have an edX account will be asked to use their login credentials. Upon successful verification, you will find the course added to your dashboard.
Those who are new to the platform will need to create an account with edX by providing their first name, last name, email address, password, and country of residence. Similar to the previous outcome, the program will be shown added to your dashboard for necessary action.

2. Track selection phase

Programs at edX offer two pathways of enrolment to choose from. These are briefly explained as follows:

Official certification track: This pathway is chosen by students who are ambitious about their future as computer programmers. It results in an official computer science programming certification from the partner institution which carries a lot of value in professional circles.
Audit track: This is chosen by rookies as a way to get their feet wet in this domain. Usually, it is because they are not sure at the time if they would pursue this domain as a mainstream career. The program access is limited by time in this scenario.

3. Payment phase

Coming over to this stage, you are one step away from starting your studies. The following text illustrates when this is applicable:

The formal certification track requires the students to use a credit card to make a payment towards the course fee. This is covered in an earlier section.
Conversely, the audit pathway is free to join, and thus, this section is not applicable for it. The only exception is if the participant wishes to upgrade their restricted access to a full one. The same payment methods apply.

Application Details

This program on Java Programming by Purdue University does not have an application form.

Purdue University, West Lafayette Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

1: Can the fee be paid for multiple courses at the same time?

Once you have selected the programs that you would like to join, the fee can be paid together. It will be displayed as a sum of the selected course fees.

2: Do you accept debit cards as a payment source?

Please utilize either a Credit Card (including American Express) or PayPal to make the payments towards the program fee.

3: What is an optimum time commitment for this program?

We, at edX, suggest that one keep aside 7 to 10 hours of intensive study on a weekly basis apart from the time that goes into attending the classes.

4: Is this program suitable to learn Java Programming concepts?

Correct. The AP Computer Science A: Java Programming Loops and Data Structures program focuses on the various types of loops and data structures in Java Programming, and thus does include programming concepts.
