12/07: Reminder for final exam:

Final Exam: 7:00-9:50am Wednesday, December 13

11/06: Here is the code to use a for-each loop to iterate through a HashMap: 

import java.util.*;

public class Fiddle {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        HashMap<Integer, String> days =
            new HashMap<Integer, String>();
        days.put(0, "Unknown");
        days.put(2, "Tuesday");
        days.put(3, "Wednesday");
        days.put(4, "Thursday");
        days.put(5, "Friday");

        for (int key : days.keySet()) {
            System.out.println(days.get(key));
        }
    }
}

10/08: I have decided to delay the Midterm exam by one class meeting from 10/18/06 to 10/23/06. You can see the new schedule here.

10/02: Based on our discussion in class, I updated A5: Using Arrays to provide the standard bubble sort in the starter code. In addition, I added a swap() method. Also, I changed the instructions to refer to the standard algorithm in the starter code.

Also, some of you have noticed that the demonstration applet at solidware.com has some enhancements to the standard algorithm. However, if does not have both of the enhancements specified in the assignment.

9/22: There is yet another upgdate to grade_checks.xml. This new version is needed for either version 4.1 or 4.2 of CheckStyle. The previous version of grade_checks.xml produced false errors for what is known as "generic types". Since the Pen class uses a generic type, you will see false errors reported for the Pen class.

9/19: If you installed CheckStyle 4.2, then you need to install this new grade_checks.xml file. If you installed CheckStyle 4.1, then you should continue to use the previous file.

9/11: I updated the errors in the notes of lesson 3.

9/05: I posted a new entry in the FAQS entitled, "How do I upload my assignment files to WebCT?" Please read the answer if you are having problems uploading your assignment files to WebCT.

8/30: The Readiness Assessment quiz is now available in WebCT.
