Overview

Java Programming: Arrays, Lists and Structured Data is course 3 of 5 in the Java Programming and Software Engineering Fundamentals Specialization.

Build on the software engineering skills you learned in “Java Programming: Solving Problems with Software” by learning new data structures. Use these data structures to build more complex programs that use Java’s object-oriented features. At the end of the course you will write an encryption program and a program to break your encryption algorithm.

After completing this course, you will be able to:

• Read and write data from/to files;
• Solve problems involving data files;
• Perform quantitative analyses of data (e.g., finding maximums, minimums, averages);
• Store and manipulate data in an array or ArrayList;
• Combine multiple classes to solve larger problems;
• Use iterables and collections (including maps) in Java.
