What's REALLY New:
-
LAST DAY OF CLASS!!! Donut contest:
Here is the working Hanoi code (click here).
Get it working with as many DIFFERENT disks as possible, in CLASS!
-
Solution to Quiz 2 (interfaces) here
-
PER OUR AGREEMENT, Homework 7 is OPTIONAL, in
the sense that I will now drop the lowest TWO out of the seven assignments.
But in exchange, do the take-home quiz (on interfaces) due Wed. April 21,
last day of class, IN CLASS!
-
NOTICE!! As of tonight, Wed. 4/14,
AFTER CLASS, I have FIXED the paint method in the Tower class on HW 7,
so now it WILL graph correctly on the Macs! And everywhere else.
Yes, I tested it. So DO THIS HOMEWORK! (at least, it counts
as one of the regular homeworks, lowest grade of which will be dropped)
It wasn't that hard to fix. I followed Cary's suggestion of using
the methods (namely "elementAt" and "size" of the class "vector", which
is a superclass of "Stack", which in turn is a superclass of "Tower".
These methods allow me to get at the elements of the stack without popping
them off the stack. Thanks Cary!) Note that you only have to
update the "paint" method of "Tower" class to implement the fix.

Suggestion on HW3: some folks
have realized that it is easier to test/debug the sort method if you leave
the GreaterThan method as it was in HW2 (that is, comparing each Topic's
NUMPEOPLE field), to make sure sor t works, and only then working on the
String class methods to allow for comparing Topics by "name"s.
-
I have added HW 3, our third program,
see below.
-
I have added HOMEWORK 2, our second
program, below.
