 Difficulty:
1.Create a int array with 5 values of you're choosing.
2.Create a print line statement with the words Index , a few spaces and Values ( like the example in the BAMF challenge above.
3.Create a for loop that will continue to loop until you're counter is greater than the length of the array you created , increment by one. Each time it loops:
                    * Print the Index & Value (hint: use the counter from you're for loop)

B.A.M.F Challenge:
B.A.M.F Challenges & why you want to always at leas try them explained Here:http://bit.ly/ogivqe
Difficulty: ★ 1/2
 Create a java console program that simulates rolling  a standard 6 sided die(the single form of dice)  10 times and print out the results in the console with a space. The results should look something like this:  
3 7 2 2 1 ect... up  to 10


CHALLENGE!!
(Before starting any of the challenges always declare a class and a main method unless told otherwise)
 Difficulty:
1. Declare a new Random variable and name it "dice"
2. Declare a int variable and name it "number"
3. Create a "for" loop that will loop through 10 times before stopping.
          (hint: initialization; termination; increment
4. Inside the for loop set the number var to equal a random number between 1-6(hint: "dice.")
5.Print the random number variable + a space (" ")
( If you dont add the space when you run it all youre numbers will be in one jumbled line.)

Introducing B.A.M.F Challenges

 (B.A.M.F's Make Money Like George Jung From Blow and you will to once you master the art of I2J Translation)

B.A.M.F Challenges are for those of you feeling a little cocky, Instead of giving you step by step directions I will only give you a abstract goal of the challenge and its up to you to figure out how to make it happen.Even if you cant always complete the B.A.M.F challenge, you should always at least try and then move down to the reg challenge if youre struggling.B.A.M.F Challenges help youre brain become what I call a Java "translator" , as in you can listen to a client explain something they want done in simple English and convert it in you're mind to rough Java.Almost every new programmer gets to a point where they can read source code and understand what its doing, but struggle with creating a program from a idea alone without help or alot of research.The end results should still be the same as the regular challenge.

Dr.Java -Simple IDE for Learning Java



A lot of people these days are getting into development just to develop Android apps, which. Is great because more developers means more great learning resources poping up but, before you can code with the best of them your going to have to learn java. Eventually your probably going to end up using Eclipse (the recommended IDE for android) but, learning the ins and outs of eclipse is a task by itself. Trying to jum right into Eclipse while trying to learn java at the same time would be like having no musical background and tying to dj with the top of the line equipment. Dr.Java is a stripped down ide with just the essentials so you can focus your time on the java syntax.Best of all,its lightweight and.....ITS FREE!!!
