5b - java
Requirement:
With your counselor's approval, choose a second programming language and development environment, different from those used for requirement 5a and in a different industry from 5a. Then write, debug, and demonstrate a functioning program to your counselor, using that language and environment.
For this requirement, let's write a program in Java. Java is an object oriented programming language created in 1995 by Sun Microsystems, but is now owned and updated by Oracle. Java is used in many industries and by many companies (Amazon, Minecraft, Android phones, business software, etc, etc), and it is quickly becoming the top programming language. You can find more Java information on the wiki.
Java is an hybrid language. This means that code can be written once and run anywhere, but before running, it must be compiled into an intermediate byte code that will be interpreted by the Java Virtual Machine running on the host computer.
There are many different environments for writing Java programs (BlueJay, Eclipse, NetBeans, etc). Eclipse is the industry standard, but it is much more complex than we want for this class because it literally does everything you'd ever want to do with Java. We will use the environment I used during my intro Java college class: BlueJay.
