Understand Java fundamentals (15-20%)

- Describe the use of main in a Java application

          - Signature of main, why it is static; how to consume an instance of your own class; command-line arguments

- Perform basic input and output using standard packages

          - Print statements; import and use the Scanner class

- Evaluate the scope of a variable

          - Declare a variable within a block, class, or method

- Declare and use primitive data type variables

          - Data types, including byte, char, int, double, short, long, float, boolean; identify when precision is lost; initialization; how primitives differ from wrapper object types such as Integer and Boolean

- Construct and evaluate code that manipulates strings

          - String class and string literals, comparisons, concatenation, case and length; String.format methods; string operators; converting a primitive data type to a string; the immutable nature of strings; initialization; null

- Construct and evaluate code that creates, iterates, and manipulates arrays and array lists

          - One- and two-dimensional arrays, including initialization, null, size, iterating elements, accessing elements; array lists, including adding and removing elements, traversing the list

- Construct and evaluate code that performs parsing, casting and conversion

          - Implementing code that casts between primitive data types, converts primitive types to equivalent object types, or parses strings to numbers

- Construct and evaluate arithmetic expressions

          - Arithmetic operators, assignment, compound assignment operators, operator precedence
