  • Traversing Arrays: Practice writing for and for-each loops to access and process each element of an array.

  • Classic Array Algorithms: Implement common operations like searching, finding maximum and minimum, counting occurrences, and calculating sums and averages.

  • Sorting Algorithms: Learn to sort data using simple but fundamental techniques like selection sort and bubble sort, and understand how they work step by step.

  • Wrapper Classes: Create and use objects like Integer and Double.
