Overview
Fundamentals of Computer Science using Java uses an object-based appro ach to the introduction of Computer Science using Java as the programm ing language. The book is example-based with approximately 50 complete ly worked examples. The use of a Turtle Graphics library allows early examples and exercises to be interesting while still simple. The use o f a basic I/O library allows I/O without having to deal with exception s and formatting, as would be the case in the standard library.
