That's a neat idea, Cross. RLG, that's probably something you should consider.

If your teacher does not care about the complexity, you could always make a console application(one that runs at the command line).

Hmmm. I can easily help you with something in java, that's the language your after right?

Something simple: A mortgage calculator

It's an easy project but it does require some knowlege of programming.


If you want something simple, think of a project that would have mabye one or more edit fields, and then does some kind of calculation based on that.

Of course that is pretty simple, but if you want something more complex than that, we could always find something else.

Ok, I see. So what career field are you wanting it based upon? If you narrow it down, I'm sure we could come up with something good.

By the way, is there a level of complexity involved? How far are you willing to go?

What do you mean a physical project?

Here it is in Java notation. I don't know C.

int a;
int b;

a = a+b;


b = a-b;
a = a-b;

Yes, but I wouldn't wait till college to start learninng programming.

I think the guy on the 2$ bill is the same as the guy on the 20$ bill(Thomas Jefferson)..

I bought my router and network card at best buy because they had a huge sign that said 20$ off ALL routers. Actually, it was only offered on a small variety of brands, but was never advertised it that way. After a long argument, we got the money off because they finally realized they were falsely advertising products.

and does a lot of neat things.

So does java?

server_crash 64 Postaholic

I would say Java; if you look around you'll notice a lot of classes are being taught in Java. I guess this is because it helps in mastering OO design, and best of all, it's user friendly!

The finally clause executes wheter or not an exception is thrown. Except when a catch clause invokes System.exit() of course!

I have both of the books wmivey just specified{java in 24 hours and java primer plus}. I would definately go with these.
