This repository contains the source code required to complete assignments associated with Bloc's Android curriculum.
Each assignment's source code is found in its corresponding directory in foundation. For example, the assignment for checkpoint number 23, "Static," is found in foundation/23-static.
Detailed assignment instructions are provided in a README.md file within each assignment's directory. Read the instructions thoroughly before proceeding. Not all assignments will compile immediately. For example, the assignment for checkpoint 12, "Syntax," does not compile without additional work. However, if an assignment compiles, that does not mean you have completed it.
Every assignment requires work and/or modification.
Assignment source files feature call-outs to locations where work must be completed. These are provided in the form of multi-line comments such as:
/*****************************************************************
* ASSIGNMENT:
* Assign 2.1 into dubs
* Then divide dubs by itself
******************************************************************/
double dubs;
if (!testX(x)) {These multi-line assignment call-outs precede the area where work must be done. Therefore, read the assignment and implement the solution immediately beneath it. The completed work resembles:
/*****************************************************************
* ASSIGNMENT:
* Assign 2.1 into dubs
* Then divide dubs by itself
******************************************************************/
double dubs = 2.1d;
dubs /= dubs;
if (!testX(x)) {Method headers are used to specify where a method must be created by you. For instance:
/*
* returnNegative
*
* This method returns the negated value of the given parameter.
*
* @param original the original integer value
* @return the negated integer value of original
*/
// ADD YOUR METHOD HERE, NAME MUST MATCH DESCRIPTIONIn the description above, it demands a method named returnNegative. The method you create must match the method name found in the description. The statement following the method's name is a brief description of its purpose.
The @param specifies a single parameter. It is immediately followed by the name of the parameter and a short description. The order of @param qualifiers (from top-to-bottom) implies the order of parameters (left-to-right), these must match exactly.
Lastly, the @return informs you of which type of value this method must return. If it reads, @return nothing, then this method must return a void type. Given the description above, here is the completed method:
/*
* returnNegative
*
* This method returns the negated value of the given parameter.
*
* @param original the original integer value
* @return the negated integer value of original
*/
int returnNegative(int original) {
return -original;
}Do not change, modify, move, or otherwise alter in any way, shape or form the existing code unless explicitly instructed to by the assignment call-out or method header.
However, you are free to modify and experiment with the existing code found within after successfully completing the assignment and having received a verified completion from your mentor.
