Projects
will
normally be assigned on Thursdays and will be due the following Thursday.
Project Due Dates May Be Closer Than They Appear!
No Project will be
accepted later than one week after its due date!
Each project will be assigned an identification number;
that number MUST be provided on the submitted project.
Different projects must not be bundled together; each

How
to Study for the Examinations
·
Complete all homework assignments
·
Using the resources listed above, make
an exhaustive set of notes of those points that you
might
be asked about in the Exam, but which you think that you might not be able to
recall
·
Reduce the notes created above to a
set of 3x5 cards, listing only those points that you now
think
that you might not be able to recall during the Exam
·
Repeat this process until you only
need one 3x5 card
·
Reduce this 3x5 card to a 2x3 card;
bring the card with you to look at 10 minutes before the
exam
starts; put the card away and take the exam!

Project 6
The Instructors Floating Point Test
Data for multiplication has been corrected.
The Student Test Data specification has
also been changed.
In both cases, please look at the
current versions.
The due date Mon/Tue 29/30 Nov 10
Project 6 does not require a flowchart;
the flow of control is relatively clear. Extra credit will be given for a well designed flowchart.
Notice that the Design Document that has been provided; it shows not only some
flow of control and activity, but also the order in which certain elements
should be created. This text-based document shows one alternative to flowcharts
which are useful in some contexts.
Project 8a & 8b has been posted.
The due date is 15 Dec 2010. It must be submitted with test run data! They may
be submitted in two separated packets to the Computer Science Office, JD 4503,
or if that office is closed, slide under my office door, JD 4423.
Project 7 code should assume the
existence of data files of a structure which consists of the following format:
form example
data type int
or double
matrix dimensions 2 4
data
45 67 87 91
-56
59 32 871
The instructor generated data files are
available for testing. Download the files as text files. The input files as
provided by the random generator will NOT be presented in a matrix form but
they are valid input files for your program.
Your output of both the input and
output files should be printed as 2-dimensional arrays even though they may
wrap around on a typical 8 ½ x 11 document. Use Notepad to view the files;
because of the wrapping, they may difficult to easily read. Individual numbers
can still be checked for accuracy.
Operations to be performed for each
data type:
A + B A B B A
A2 + B2 A2 B2 B2 A2
A * A1 A2 * B B * A1
Extra
credit will be given for an additional program that produces random data that
produces the data required.

The Matador Bookstore
has the 9th ed. on their shelves; buy it quickly before they run out
of stock which usually happens during the 2nd week of the semester!
2. Flash
Drive, i.e., memory stick, is required an IPOD is ACCEPTABLE
3. The
Oviatt Library has instituted a textbook purchase pilot project with funds from
the Campus Quality Fee. Comp 110 was selected for inclusion in this
project. They have purchased one copy of the Comp 110 textbook
INTRODUCTION TO JAVA PROGRAMMING, 8th Ed., by LIANG. Students can
access the textbook at the Reserves, Periodicals & Microform Department, in
the 4th floor East wing of the Oviatt Library; search by the course
number i.e., COMP 110 for the library number. The loan period is 2 hours, for

In the lab, we will
a.
guide you in developing good programming skills
b.
help when you are unsure of what to do
c.
teach debugging and analysis techniques
Since
you will need to spend time outside of the lab to complete the projects, you
need to acquire a memory stick, i.e., a flash drive, to transport your
programs; do not rely on using email attachments to transfer your work it may
not always be available. You can use the Z-drive for a secure backup of your
work.
Attendance
Regardless of your mastery of the material your
required at all lectures and during all programming labs;
no exceptions see instructor for
consideration of any major exception to this rule.
Occasional absence due to health problems, family emergencies,
transportation problems are understandable.
Habitual absences will not be
tolerated. .
Please bring your TEXTBOOK & Flash
Drives to every Java Programming Lab class!
