To hand in
your work, click the "Dropoff" button above. You will find
directions there.
In this lab we will write our first Java
programs. We will learn how to use the JBuilder
development system and how to use objects in our programs.
There will be a lot of unfamiliar syntax and constructs, but don't worry
about that. Just keep this adage in mind: "If you didn't write it, don't change it!"
Following directions EXACTLY will be
crucial for this lab!
This is especially true at this point
where there will be a lot of code running around that is generated
automatically and that you are not expected to understand yet.
Being precise and exacting is one of the fundamental skills needed for
computer science. Think very carefully before writing
any code and be sure that you fully understand all the directions
first. A sloppy program will misbehave in unpredicable manners
and will be extremely difficult to fix.
This lab is designed to become progressively less descriptive as you get deeper into
it. The idea is for you to learn certain techniques
in the beginning parts and apply those skills in later parts. Pay
attention to what you are doing. Don't cut and paste
blindly!
First, get your account info, lab pass,
and JBuilder licensing info from the instructor!
Second, change your passwords!
Third, do the sections on the left sequentially.
Be sure to copy all your work to your personal directory in
drive Z: when you are done. (Or copy to a floppy or ZIP disk)
