I recently created an algorithm visualizer in Java using JavaFX. It’s a desktop application that demonstrates various sorting, path-finding and maze-building algorithms. You can check out the source code on my Github. This post is going to be more of an expose of the project and less of a tutorial Read more…
This is the second part to my Java Reflection Library series. In this post I will discuss how to get information about arrays and then use this as well as the information from part 1 of this series to create a generic class json serializer. Basically I want to be Read more…
In this series I want to take a deep dive into the realm of the Java reflection library. This library contains features that can give you immense power when used correctly. However, as we all know, with great power comes great responsibility. This is my fair warning that I am Read more…
Hey! I’ve been meaning to write this article for a while now but was too busy with school and work. But now that I’m on break I have some extra time. This article discusses a project I created for a Software Engineering class called CoinTrack. For this project I was Read more…
It’s been a while since my last post. This past semester was stressful to say the least. Thankfully it’s winter break now so I’ve got some free time to write some more posts. Today I want to walk through the process of connecting a java program to an api. In Read more…
Hey, So I’ve been working on some homework assignments for a class I’m in and figured this might be an interesting topic. One of my assigned problems asked me to create a Java program that takes in three inputs (a, b, c), enters them into the quadratic equation ((-b+/-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a)), the Read more…
If a normal variable is like a motorcycle, then an array is like a big city bus. It is made specifically to hold many items. Arrays in Java are similar to arrays in any other language. They need to have a type (i.e. int, String, char, double, etc..), and you Read more…
Hey Everyone, in my last tutorial I showed you how to setup a Java file and print “Hello World” to the console. Now lets learn about variables! In Java, every variable must have a type. The different types are: byte (number, 1 bit), short(number, 2 bytes), int (interger, 4 bytes), Read more…
Hey! Welcome back. Lets learn how to print to the console with Java. 1. Open up NetBeans and click the button that looks like a folder to create a new project environment. 2. Make sure “Java” is selected then hit continue. 3. Now name your project something meaningful and make Read more…
