Problem Specifications
The questions are given in pdf format.
Common Assignment Problems
Before emailing the course staff with assignment questions, please refer to the assignment FAQ.
Starter Files
Download A03.zip before beginning to code your solutions. It includes "beginner" files for each question which handles some of the input for you, and contains valuable comments to help you write your code.
Question three contains the method signatures for the Professor class. You cannot modify these signatures. You cannot add new public methods either.
Program Input/Output
Be sure your program's output matches what is provided. Some of your correctness marks will be based on conforming exactly to how the output should appear.
Program Style and Documentation
Marks will be awarded on this and all future assignments for appropriate documentation and program style. The markers will, in particular, be looking at the following:
- Making your instance variables private
- Not adding any new public methods to the provided files
- Including a program header at the top of each file, which includes your name, userid, student id number, and lab section.
- Appropriate and meaningful variable names, following conventions discussed in class.
- Including comments on blocks of code, briefly explaining the purpose of those lines of code.
- Including comments at the end of any tricky lines of code that require extra explanation. You should not put a comment after every single line, though, as this makes the code more difficult to read.
- Appropriate use of white space (including blank lines and indentation), so that code looks well-organized and is easy to read.
Submitting your assignment:
You will need to submit your assignment electronically. You should submit often before the deadline, as you can submit as many times as you wish. You can find the submit page here. Email submissions will not be accepted should you run into problems.
