A6 Introduction page 1 of 12

Now that you have learned how to design your own classes, we will explore how to take advantage of the huge number of pre-made classes provided with Java. We will also learn how to read the APIs that come with those classes so that you will be able to take any class that comes with an API and teach yourself how to use that class. In this chapter, we will start with APIs, explore a few useful classes and their APIs, and then finish by learning how to write our own APIs so that other people can use our classes.

The key topics for this lesson are:

  1. Understanding APIs
  2. Final and Static
  3. DrawingTool
  4. Point2D.Double
  5. Random
  6. Math
  7. Javadoc Tool
