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.

IM BACK!!!

(The best image I could find to represent ADHD)

I started this blog and being the ADHD developer I am I got distracted and kinda abandoned it for a while but, I checked my blog views for the first time today and realized that this blog is still getting daily views, comments and followers a month after I abandoned it. That tells me that there is a serious demand for a blog like this so ive decided to get back at it!!! If you stumble across this blog and you want me to keep going leave me a comment, follow it , link to it...anything to show me that im not doing all this work for nothing.


New Java challenges coming soon!!!

CHALLENGE: Intermediate Java Tut's 4&5

The following is a challenge for new developers that have completed:

Intermediate Java Tutorial - 4&5 -Collections & arrayLists by theNewBoston

 

Legendary Challenge: 

Difficulty:★ ★ 1/2

Create two arrayLists, the first array must have 5 unique strings and the second array must consist of only the last 2 strings from the first array.Then create a method that will iterate through the first arrayList and filter out any strings that are also in the second array. Print your results.

Legendary Challenges consist of only a very broad description of the challenge making them a little harder.The end results should still be the same as the regular challenge.

CHALLENGE 

 Difficulty:★

1. Create a String array named "things" containing the strings "eggs", "lasers","hats" and "pie"

2. Create a new ArrayList named "list1"
3. Create a For loop that adds the items from the array "things" to "list1"

4. Create a String array named "things2" containing only the strings "lasers" & "hats" 

5. Create a new ArrayList named "list2"

6. Create a For loop that adds the items from the array "things2" to "list2"

7.Print all the strings in list1 one using a for loop

End of Tut 4/Start of Tut 5

8.Create a method a called editList that uses two collection parameters and names them "A1" and "A2"
(to make it less confusing just remember that in a later step we will call the editList method and use "list1" & "list2" as parameters) 

9. Inside the editList method loop through each string in "A1" and make sure none of the strings are the same as any of the strings in "A2" 

10.If any of the strings from "A1" do match any of the strings from "A2" delete the string from "A1"

11.Call the editList method using "list1" & "list2" as parameters

12.Print a blank line

13.Print each of the strings in list1 using a for loop 

Note: Please keep in mind this blog is a work in progress and ive learned quickly that teaching is alot harder than just following along . If something is explained poorly or you have a suggestion to reword a step please leave a comment below so we can make this the best resource possible for up and coming developers.
