Lab 1 -- A robot greeter: 9/4
You should have a partner for this lab; they will be arranged in class.
You job in this lab is to write a Java application that will input the name of a person and then say hello to that person.
If the input name were Jo, your program should output "Hi Jo!". Input should come from a TextField and output should be
to another TextField.
There are several things you must know before you can start this lab.
- How to start NetBeans
- Projects
- How to create a project
- How to execute a project
- Frames
- How to add a Frame to a project
- How to make the Frame visible
- TextFields
- How to add a TextField to a Frame
- How to get text from a TextField
- How to set the text in a TextField
- Strings
- How to save text in a String variable
- How to concatenate Strings
Fortunately most of these are very easy, and they will have all been demonstrated in class. Unfortunately, if you can't recall
how to do any one of these, you will be stuck (like most of computing, the details can get in your way -- they do not capture
your involuntary attention, but if you don't make yourself learn them they can take a lot of your time!).
How to get credit: demo with your partner in lab on Thurs; arrange to come in with your programming partner to do your demo.
