Welcome to the KnightKrawler Intro to Java wiki!
This introduction to java project is intended for all KnightKrawler students to complete in preparation for robot coding. This tutorial doesn't cover all aspect of Java. Instead, the tutorial focuses on the most important parts of java needed to write code for a typical FRC robot. For example, loops are built into robot programming, so we will not cover "for" loops, even though they are an important part of most Java programs. We also do not cover anything related specifically to robots, such as motors. Our goal here is to learn the basics of variables, classes, methods, and control statements.
To avoid adding unneeded complexity, this project is a "command line" program. This means there is no app, no windows. Programmers will interact with the program the terminal window. Using Visual Studio Code, programmers can interact with the application using a built-in terminal prompt/window in the Visual Studio debugger.
