Deitels java how to program is what made me the developer I am 2day,the exercises are a simulation of a real life encounter of java integral programs. U just have to attempt them.take them to be exams or a test that if u don't pass u can't go to the next chapter. It requires concentration and thinking apparently. If u dnt succeed am not sure you shld go to the next chapter

why don't you post the question here so we can solve them together?

Onliie: Ive been studying the book Java How to Program for a while now, i easily grasp the concepts and explanations. But when it comes to the exercises at the end of each chapter, i find it difficult to solve. Can anybody advise me on this problem.

Solving those problem will help you in the long run, software development is all about problem solving you will never tell a client that you cant solve a problem Your job is to find solution to their problem and that is what those exercise stands for. Sit back analyse your problem, what are you getting wrong? And better still post the questions out on programming sites, or google for the questions and answer it must have been solved Somewhere.

@op
Java how to program was d second book i got strtd on.
And i remember sweatg over some of their exercises ...
because i tot i had to get solve thm to b proficient in java.
Wat i did was stop tryg to solve pre packaged book exercises.i invented my own exercises and
projects and wrked on them.
My own projects were, more interestg more relevant and more demandg to me thn som contrived exercise.
I've operated tht way and it's been so so much fun.
I'll encourage u to try tht path- d way of original thnkg.

ADVISE STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART: If this problem is not just to do with Java examples and exams, Go see a clinical Psychologist and take the ADHD exam. I am not sure if you have good psychologists/psychiatrists in Nigeria, but I think you should try to find one and make sure you do not have that problem at least.

Yes you are right, Bucky tutorial is based on the Java how to program book. But that still don't solve the exercise at the end of each chapter.

Like @javadoctor said, you have to attempt the exercises. Take them to be exams or tests and try to pass them before moving onto the next chapter. The exercises are based on what you have learnt in that chapter or preceding chapters. Also, quoting @talk2bh1, solving the exercises will help you in the long run. Sit back and analyse the questions before trying to translate to java.

Make use of multiple books, some books are just bad. It could be that the book you are using is bad, or possible too advanced and you need a simpler book. Make sure the book is for absolute beginners, find out by reading the Preface and finding out who the target audience is.

the book is java how to program 9th edition and it is for beginners

Some years bk, solving Excerises at the end of tutorial books were hard to me. Recently, when I pick up those Excerises now, it is now very easy.

If the exercises are hard for you, create your own problems and life scenarios as par the context of the chapter. Solve them, software development as someone said is all about solving real life problems.you can always come bk to the Exercises.

Am actually on the same book right naw. Tho they seems difficult at first buh if you devote your time to think of how to solve it you will still get it. There are times I will have to go a whole day thinking about the solution to one question. Though am still at chapter 8 buh so far I have tackle most of exercise in the past chapters, am not in rush to finish. Slow and steady win the race

If you can SSH to the server its not that difficult, with mysql dump you are goid to go.

If you find it hard at first, it's because you are not totally in Java zone as I call it. Take each question one by one try sleeping over it if nothing is working. Play a game, forget about it and come back to it with aa fresh perspective. 90% why one fails the questions is perspective.

However if nothing works, google the whole question and keenly study the answer.

If Java is too hard, try a different language like python or php.
