How you will complete tasks throughout this course

In this course, you will need to learn how to use GitHub, as the tasks will be more complex and at an advanced level. Therefore, you will have to complete them locally on your computer or any other device. This way, you will gain practical knowledge of using IDE and familiarize yourself with the tools. Additionally, almost all programmers use GitHub, so you will also gain experience in this area and make use of this platform.

I won't go into detail about what GitHub is and how to use it entirely. Instead, I will give you instructions on what you need to do to have the code locally in your IDE. You will learn about Git and how to use it in a separate course.

Instructions:

• Firstly, you need an account on GitHub;
• Follow the link and you will see a pre-created repository;
• To get this project for yourself, you need to click on the Fork button in the top right corner;

• Next, you can change the repository name, but it's optional, and then click on the Create Fork button;

• After that, the repository will be added to your account. Click on the Code button and copy the HTTPS link;

• Now, open your IntelliJ IDEA and click on Get From VCS;

• In the opened window, paste the copied link and click Clone.

How to run tests?

• Open the Task class in the src/java/org.example folder. You will see the task that needs to be implemented;

• After writing the implementation of the task, and if you are sure it will work, press the Run Code button to run the tests.

We cannot check whether you have solved the task correctly. The tests will handle that, and you can see them in the bottom left corner. Whether to do the assignments or not depends on your desire to learn Java programming. I highly recommend completing the tasks, even if they seem challenging. This way, you will improve your skills in working with IDE and practice using GitHub more frequently. Programming is best learned through practice.
