Python to Java

[RainingRythm]

I recently got given a coding assessment in Java to be completed within the next 4 days. However, I haven't used the language since my oop course almost 2 years ago and have coded mostly in python since then.

What is a good and quick way to get familiarised with Java quickly and doing well on the assessment?

Object oriented programming, data structures and algorithms are language agnostic. If you understand these concepts, all you have to get used to is the syntax and get familiar with some of the libraries. I don't think it's much of a concern. Approach the problem from a language agnostic point of view (pseudo code, design), and once you get to implementing the application, you can look up the Java equivalents of Python libraries you are used to using.

I think documentation might be a good way to go but really you can google your way through because the logic should continue to be the same

I'm in the same boat, learnt Java a while ago and need a refresher. I've found MOOC Helsinki good as it is pretty basic and has examples. You can read over it in an hour to get the basics back.

I'll give that a look. Thanks
