AP Computer Science A - Loops & Decision Statements Project (Java)
This is an AP CS A project I assign to my students after they have learned methods, loops, and if statements. They still haven't yet learned how to write full classes from scratch, so this is mostly an exercise in programming logic. There are two problems, both requiring a fair amount of analytical thinking. String operations are especially emphasized, as the AP tends to love them. I usually give the students 4-5 full class days to complete this. In this, and all labs posted on TPT, the question
