00:00:01.116 --> 00:00:05.224
Welcome to Week 7, Algorithms and method calls

2
00:00:10.111 --> 00:00:12.227
Last week you learned a little about algorithms

3
00:00:12.228 --> 00:00:15.003
and about some features of the Java language

4
00:00:15.004 --> 00:00:18.006
that help you to write methods to implement algorithms.

5
00:00:19.221 --> 00:00:22.112
This week you will learn more about designing algorithms

6
00:00:22.113 --> 00:00:25.111
to implement a variety of types of action

7
00:00:26.001 --> 00:00:28.005
you will see examples of algorithms that

8
00:00:28.113 --> 00:00:30.005
change the state of objects

9
00:00:31.009 --> 00:00:33.006
perform calculations

10
00:00:33.227 --> 00:00:35.224
and process information.

11
00:00:40.004 --> 00:00:42.225
In many cases methods need to call other methods

12
00:00:42.226 --> 00:00:45.004
in order to perform their actions.

13
00:00:46.001 --> 00:00:48.001
You will also learn some more details about

14
00:00:48.002 --> 00:00:49.227
what happens when a method is called

15
00:00:49.228 --> 00:00:52.111
and when a method calls another method.

16
00:00:52.229 --> 00:00:55.008
You will learn how the computer keeps track of method

17
00:00:55.009 --> 00:00:58.002
calls using the call stack.
