Programming assignment(Due Fri. Sept. 22 in class):
The purpose of this assignment is to help you remember everything you learned
earlier.
Write an applet and an application
that simulates a fortune teller. Users should be able to enter
a yes-or-no question and get a random answer like yes, no, maybe, absolutely,
the answer is unclear, not likely, etc. There should be at least 12
possible answers. Include animation.
Hand in:
- Hardcopy of the applet and its output
- Hardcopy of the application and its output
- Sep 12 - Read Chapters 4, 7-9, 11 and

Programming assignment(Due Tues. Sept. 26 beginning of class):
Write an applet that reads a file of data and allows the user to search
for items in the data. The first line of the file is the title of the
database. The second line will contain the names of the data fields separated
by #.
Subsequent lines contain data records, with data fields separated
by a #. Your applet will read in the title and display it with animation.
Then your applet will read in the data and put up a GUI that allows the
user to search for information. All fields will be treated as Strings.
You decide the topic of the database. You may write your own code or
modify the
example used in class.
Hand in:
Hardcopy of the applet and its output

Given the interface we started in class,
write the insertAtTail method, and fix the insertAtHead method for the
LinkedList class so it
will work with the new tail variable we decided we wanted. Test your
LinkedList class with the test program.
- Download all 3 files.
- Edit only the insertAtTail and insertAtHead methods in the LinkedList class.
- Compile everything
- Run the LinkedListDemo
- If you don't get the right output, goto 2
Due Friday Oct. 13
Hand in: Hardcopy of your LinkedList class and hardcopy of the output
of the test application that I wrote. (If you don't know how
to do this, click here.)
- Oct 13 -
Add methods to your LinkedList class for deleteHead(), isEmpty(), and
clear().
Write an application that shows that they work. (This is an exercise
in testing software.)
Due Tuesday Oct. 17
Hand in: Hardcopy of your LinkedList class, your test application class
and hardcopy of the output of the test application that you wrote.
- Oct 17 -
Using good object oriented design,
write a class that implements the Stack interface, using the Linked List
class. Write an application that uses a Stack to check if all the
(), [], and {} in a file match properly. If everything matches
correctly, tell the user that everything is ok; else tell the user
what the problem is and what line it is on. Your program should
end when it finds an error. Start now. :)
Due Nov. 3
Hand in: Hardcopy of your Stack class and your application. Email me
