Week 1 Materials

I. Lecture Problem: Tire Dimension

• Here is the code that we developed during lecture: Tire.java
• If you can improve the above solution, please do so and e-mail me the improved version. Explain how it is improved.

Variations to the Lecture Solution

• Frank Thieme's solution uses the Scanner class instead of the StringTokenizer class: Tire.java
• Konrad Hoeffner's solution is more object oriented: Main.java, Tire.java, FileLoader.java, FileSaver.java

II. Graded Lab Problem: Paint Mix (due 16.10)

• The input file: paint.in
• The correct output file: paint.out
• Christian Arnold's solution: PaintMix.java

Common Mistakes

• All output must go to the named output file. No output should go to the terminal window.
• The input file (paint.in) and output file (paint.out) must be located in the same directory as the java files.
• Make sure to use the proper header for your e-mail message. It should read something like this Submission for John Doe, Jane Smith
• The only attachments in the e-mail should be plaintext .java files. Do not zip these files together.
• Match the required output format exactly.
• A failed test case. This means that the program did not calculate the correct answer for one or more of the inputs. As a general tip, you should always test your program on the sample data and also on input data that you develop (remember to include boundary cases) before submitting your solution to be graded.
