Java Basic Structures: Arrays, Strings, and Files (Coursera)

To allow for a truly hands-on, self-paced learning experience, this course is video-free. Assignments contain short explanations with images and runnable code examples with suggested edits to explore code examples further, building a deeper understanding by doing. You'll benefit from instant feedback from a variety of assessment items along the way, gently progressing from quick understanding checks (multiple choice, fill in the blank, and un-scrambling code blocks) to small, approachable coding exercises that take minutes instead of hours.

What You Will Learn

- Store and manipulate arrays of data

- Compare and manipulate strings of text

- Read and write to text and CSV files
