Today is the end of the third WebAdvisor monitoring interval. Students with attendance issues, poor homework performance, and/or missing assignments should take this warning seriously.

Exam #1 pretest comments

Instead of me retyping the same comments to many students, I'm listing code critiques here by numbers and me return emails to you reference this list.

Note:

Not all students turned in code for last night's pretest. If you neglect to turn in code during next week's exam, you will receive a failing grade.

Homework 7 - SimplePrintMatrix.java

You are to write a program which is a modification on exercise 5.17, p 192. You will be writing a method to print a square matrix of randomly generated 1s and 0s, per the instructions in exercise 5.17. In addition, you will need to request and to accept the size of the matrix from the user.

The class name must be SimplePrintMatrix and it must be written as a console application.

Lab 4 - RateComparison.java

You are to complete exercise 4.21
(6th ed, p125; 7th ed, p135; 8th ed, p149).

Public service announcement #3

Notice to all students:

Though it does not affect our Comp171 class, Brookdale is NOT closed on Veterans Day. If you have Friday classes this semester, you have school on Friday, November 11th.

Exam #1 programming problems

I strongly suggest that each student develop a Java solution to the following problems in preparation for the coding portion of the first exam. While I do not promise that the practical part of the exam will be *exactly* the same as any one of these problems, the actual test question will at least be very similar to one or more of these practice problems.
