Be CERTAIN to install JAVA in:

C:\Program Files\Java OR IN

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java

Do not install it anywhere else or JGrasp will not work !!!!!!!!!

If you messed up - uninstall it - and reinstall it.

CLICK BELOW TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL JAVA

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html

---------------------------------------------------

CLICK THE LINK BELOW TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE JGRASP IDE WHICH WE WILL USE TO RUN ALL OF OUR JAVA PROGRAMS:

http://www.jgrasp.org/-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do not miss class the first 2 weeks [aug 29 and sept 12]or you will be 'HOPELESSLY LOST'.

REMEMBER - BE CERTAIN THAT YOU download and install Java ONLY in :

C:\Program Files\Java. or (x86)

if not uninstall it - and reinstall it, BECAUSE the “bin” folder and the "lib" folder MUST BE INSTALLED under: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_101\bin or (x86) * and C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_101\lib or (x86) * *You may use ANY jdk1.7.0_20 … 45, etc. INSTEAD OF jdk1.8.0_101

http://www.jgrasp.org/




NEXT:

Open Control Panel on your Windows Computer - [Start--->Control Panel]

Click the “System Icon [or the word "system"] Click the “Advanced” tab [or the words "advanced system setings"]

Click the “Environment Variables” button at the bottom of the box Under “System variables” look for a variable named “Path” [Note “System variables” is the bottom dialog box NOT the first one.]

Path tells software programs such as JGrasp where to find the “JAVA” executable file. Path variables are separated by a ‘ ; ’. Click on the “Path” variable under “System variables” and click Edit

Go to the end of the text in the “Variable value” field and type the following :

" ;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_101\bin; " or (x86)

Please be very careful that you add the text to the End of the existing information that you see, and be sure that you type the " ; " along with the rest of the information stated above. Click OK The next step is to set the CLASSPATH variable. IF the “CLASSPATH” variable ALREADY EXISTS do the following: Click on the “CLASSPATH” variable under “System variables” and click Edit Go to the end of the text in the “Variable value” field and type the following : " ;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_101\lib; " or (x86) Please be very careful that you add the text to the end of the existing information that you see, and be sure that you type the " ; " along with the rest of the information stated above. Click OK

IF the “CLASSPATH” variable DOES NOT EXISTS do the following:Click the New button below the “System variables” dialog box


Type “CLASSPATH” in the Variable name field

Type the following in the Variable value field: " C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_101\lib; " or (x86) Click OK, OK, OK -----------------------------------------------------------------------

JGRASP software basics1. Open the .java file you want to compile, so you can run it or debug it for logic errors.

2. Click the ‘Toggle line numbers’ ICON to turn on line numbering.

3. Click the ‘Compile file’ ICON to check for syntax errors. [fix any errors you find]

4a. When you have NO syntax errors, click the ‘Run application for current file’ ICON.

5a. If you still have a LOGIC error, set a breakpoint on the line where you want to start

debugging and then click the’Run debugger on current file’ ICON.

TAKE HOME FINAL CH 8 10 __

TOTAL 100

IMPORTANT: The reason that the TAKE-HOME FINAL is only worth 10 points out of 600 is because you must solve it by YOURSELF without help from ANYONE. If you do not want to attempt it, then you only lose 10 points out of 600.

Try to solve it by yourself, if you do want to earn the 10 points. That means no help from ME or YOUR TUTOR/GRADER or ANY OF THE LAB TUTORS. That also means you cannot get help from any of your CLASSMATES.

If you do cheat and copy someone’s work, I will flunk BOTH of you. You will both receive a semester grade of F for the course.

They are sharp enough to catch you, so please do not try it, the 10 points are not worth it.

Please take care of personal business before an exam starts

------------------------------------------------------------------------------IF I CHOOSE TO GIVE A TWO PART EXAM, YOU MUST TURN IN PART

ONE, TAKE A SHORT BREAK, AND THEN PICK UP AND BEGIN PART TWO. [Each part will typically be 50 minutes or less]

If for any reason, you leave the classroom, I will grade only what you have done to that point ON THAT PART. You cannot come back and finish A PART that you have previously started.

IF I CHOOSE TO GIVE A SHORT EXAM, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE CLASSROOM DURINGTHE EXAM. [The entire exam will be 60 minutes or less]

If for any reason, you leave the classroom, I will grade only what you have done to that point. You cannot come back and finish the exam.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will always announce during the review session the week before the EXAM, the number of parts and the length of the exam]. Again, please take care of personal business before an exam starts

----------------------------------------------------------------------

PROBLEM FIVE - 5 points

From Gad chapter 4:


Do programming challenges 3 and 15


PROBLEM SIX - 10 points

From Gad chapter 5: Work thru the examples in the chapter and then:


Hints for chapter 5 problems 2 and 3

Problem 2 - FIRST write the entire program without using methods by inputting wholesale cost and markup percentage and then computing the retail price. Then print the retail price. NOW RUN IT

SECOND modify the above ‘perfect’ program by moving the computation of retail price to a method named ‘calculateRetail’ This method gets sent the cost and markup from the main method and returns the retail price to the main method. Print the retail price from the main method. THE METHOD YOU WRITE ONLY COMPUTES THE RETAIL PRICE

USE PAGE 295 AS AN EXAMPLE –study lines 29, 31, 34, 37

Problem 3 - FIRST open the AreaRectangle.java program from the chapter code folder that you downloaded.

SECOND assuming that you use Scanner [and not JOptionPane] all you have to do is import Scanner and then add the 4 methods to the AreaRectangle.java program

One method asks for the length – use Scanner

One method asks for the width – use Scanner

One method asks for the area [length times width] simple calculation

One method asks you to print length, width and area [hint: Use System.out.println]

USE PAGE 284-285 AND 295 AS EXAMPLES


___________________________________________________


PROBLEM SEVEN - 15 points

From Gad chapter 5:



[hint: study the 3 programs you wrote for Problem Seven for ideas]

PROBLEM EIGHT - 10 points

From Gad chapter 6:



For challenge 5, study ‘constructors’ in chapter 6

PROBLEM NINE - 15 points

From Gad chapter 6:



For these 2 challenges study entering the data in ch 6.


PROBLEM TEN - 15 points

From Gad chapter 7:Work thru the examples in the chapter and then:

Do programming challenge 2 using the UML diagram I gave you

Turn in both the Payroll.class [which you write ] and the PayrollDemo.java program [which you write ] which uses the Payroll class - this is discussed in the problem statement at the the top of page 489

TAKE HOME FINAL EXAM - 10 pointsFrom Gad chapter 8:Work thru the examples in the chapter and then:

Do programming challenge 3 using the UML diagram on page 555

Turn in the RoomCarpet.class [which you write ] and the RoomDimension.class [which you write ] which are tested by the CarpetDemo.java program [which I gave you]


IF YOU WORK WITH A STUDY PARTNER, IT MUST BE OVER CONCEPTS [NOT CODE]. YOU CANNOT WORK AS A TEAM.

I CONSIDER AND WILL TREAT STUDENTS WHO SHARE CODE AS CHEATERS and MAY AWARD THEM A GRADE OF F FOR THE COURSE

I do not help with assignments 48 hours before the deadline for their submission.

The reason I do this is to STRONGLY ENCOURAGE students to complete their assignments before the deadline.

Companies fire programmers who get their work finished at the last minute. In essence, IN THE REAL WORLD you will be FIRED if your work is not completed EARLY
