Thursday: Finish Ch. 4 and start Ch. 5

  • Discuss differences between loops and several forms of incrementing variables:
      count = count + 1    ;
      count += 1;
      count++;
      ++count;
    TRY VARIATIONS OF THE ABOVE and learn
    DO NOT MIX AND MATCH THOSE FORMS:
    For example, do not use something like this: count += count++

Exercise: Modify HiLo3.java (linked below) to play multiple times.

Code Solution:
NestedLoopExamples.java
NestedDoLoopExample.java
HappyValentinesDay.java

Code Output: HappyValentinesDay.output.txt

Tuesday: Ch 4 (for loops) and nesting code

Exercise: Write a Java code fragment that determines if a date is in the past, present, or future. You are given integer variables year (>0) and month (1-12), which you may assume will have valid values. You are also given constants YEAR and MONTH that represent the current date. First, solve the problem for the year only, then modify it to work for both the year and month.

Challenge: Assume you also have an integer variable day (1-31) and a constant DAY. Write the code fragment to work for a complete date.

  1. First set of CodeLab exercises are due before 11:59pm on Monday of Week 3.
  2. Your lab scores can be viewed on Learn@UW. They are updated weekly (by Friday).
  3. Complete registration for CS 302 Forms if you have not yet completed this process (in last week's lab)

Thursday: Finish Ch. 3, Start Ch. 4

  • Exercise: Should a student walk, bike, or ride the bus? If it's raining or they live more than 4 miles from campus, they will ride the bus. If its not raining and they live less than 1 mile, they walk, otherwise, they will bike. Hint: create two control variables, one for if it is raining or not and the other for the distance a student lives from school. 
    Code Solution: Java Visualize: WalkBikeBus
  • Exercise: Complete a code fragment that determines how many days are in a month (e.g., February has 28). Assume month is an integer variable that has some value between 1 and 12 (i.e., January to December).
    Code Solutions: DaysInMonthCalculator1.java, DaysInMonthCalculator2.java
