Registering? Consider Computer Sciences: Options for Undergrads, CS Certificate, CS Major
New CS Course to Consider: Intro to Human-Computer Interaction (open to 302 students)

The next group of CodeLab exercises Ch. 10 (part 2) and 11 are due by the end of the day on 12/8.
Program 3 is due at 10 PM on 12/2 (see Programming Assignments link). Though the algorithms aren't as challenging as Program 2, you'll need to take more time in this assignment figuring out how the pieces work together.

Week 5, Tues.: Finish Ch 4, Hand in at the start of lecture: Write a Java code fragment that determines if a date is in the Past, Present, or Future. You are given integer variables year (>0), month (1-12), and mday (1-31), which you may assume will have valid values. You are also given constants YEAR, MONTH, MDAY that represent the current date. Hint: first try solving the problem for the year only, then modify it to work for both the month and year, then finish for a complete date. Solution: PPF.txt
