Assignments for SI 653 sec 1 - Programming II

Programming Style

Late assignments should be put in the envelope on the door of 1829 East Hall

• Sep 10 - Read Chapters 1-3, 5 and 6.1, and
  Getting Started and Nuts and Bolts of the Java Language

  Written assignment(Due by Mon. Sept. 13 8pm via email):
  Answer the questions on the Assignment 1 handout. If you would like your homepage published, include the URL for it with your assignment.

  Programming assignment(Due Fri. Sept. 24 in class):
  The purpose of this assignment is to help you remember the stuff you learned earlier.

  Write an applet and an application that simulates an 8 Ball. 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:

  1. Hardcopy of the applet and its output
  2. Hardcopy of the application and its output

• Sep 14 - Read Chapters 4, 8-9, 11 and 15, and
  Learning the Java Language except Nuts and Bolts and Writing Applets

• Sep 17 - Read Chapters 7 and 10 and
  Creating a User Interface with the AWT.

• Sep 21 - Read Chapter 14 and
  Handling Errors Using Exceptions and Threads of Control and Performing Animation

• Sept. 24 - Read Chapers 4.2 and 6.3, and
  Strings and String Buffers and I/O

  Programming assignment(Due Tues. Sept. 28 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

• Sep 28 - Come to the DIAD for class today and bring your program.

  Programming assignment(Due Fri. Oct. 1 in class):
  Use Cafe to compile and run the program you wrote for the last assignment. Write a short essay describing the differences between using an IDE and using Sun's JDK. Tell what you, personally, like and dislike about each.

• Oct 1 - Read Using the JFC/Swing Package

  Programming assignment(Due Tues. Oct. 12 in class):
  The purpose of this assignment is to give you some practice using Swing and to get you to think about writing code for extensibility and flexibility.

  Rewrite your previous applet using Swing components instead of AWT components. Add a text field where the user can enter the URL of the data file they want to access. Get the URLs of several of your classmate's data files and run your applet with their files. (You may or may not need to make other changes to your applet.)

  Hand in:
  

  • Hardcopy of the applet with all the changes you made high-lighted or underlined.
  • Hardcopy of your applet's output for 2 other data files.

• Oct 5 - Come to the DIAD for class today and bring your program.

• Oct 8 - Swing Applets

• Oct 12 - Read Chapter 13

• Oct 15 -
• Oct 19 - Read Chapter 16.1 and 16.2

  Write the insertAtTail method for the Linked List class. Add code to the LinkedListDemo class to show that your insertAtTail works. Due Friday Oct 22 at the beginning of class

  Hand in:
  

  • Hardcopy of the LinkedList class and LinkedListDemo class.
  • Output of the application
• Oct. 22 - Add some code to the LinkedListDemo class that inserts randomly generated integers into a linked list in sorted order.

  For 20 points extra credit each, write deleteAtHead, deleteAtTail, deleteAfter(Object o),delete(Object o), and boolean find(Object o).

  You can also get points for writing a linked list version of any method in the Vector class that makes sense for a linked list. Due Tuesday Oct 26 at the beginning of class

  Hand in:
  

  • Hardcopy of the LinkedList class and LinkedListDemo class.
  • If you did extra credit, put a * by each method you wrote.
  • Output of the application

• Nov. 2 - Add preorderPrint and postorderPrint methods to the BinarySearchTree class. Add code to the BSTDemo class to show that your new code works on the binary search tree. Due Friday Nov. 5 at the beginning of class. For 20 points extra credit add a BST of random Date objects to the BSTDemo and print it out in inorder, preorder and postorder.

  Hand in:
  

  • Hardcopy of the BinarySearchTree class and the BSTDemo class
  • Output of the application

• Nov. 5 - Write a subclass of the LinkedList class that implements a queue and a demo program that shows that your queue works.

  Hand in:
  

  • Hardcopy of the Queue class and the demo class
  • Output of the application

• Nov. 9 - Find the names and IP addresses for at least 3 SI computers and 3 ITD computers. Choose some on different subnets. Write down the names and IP addresses for each computer and tell what class of network it belongs to, its netid, its hostid and tell how many other hosts can be on the same subnet.

  Due Nov. 12

• Nov. 12 - Homework

  Due Nov. 16

• Nov. 16 - come to the DIAD and we will practice "talking" to sockets. See what happens when many clients try to connect to the same server. By the end of class, you should be able connect to everyone else's servers and they should be able to connect to yours.

  Add code to your server so it will write a file that contains information about each client that connects to it. The information should include the day and time (Date). Have the server append to the file, rather than rewrite it every time you start the server.

  Due Nov. 19

• Nov. 19 - Modify your server so that it can accept more than one client. Write an applet client for your server.

  Due Nov. 23

• Nov. 23 - come to the DIAD and connect to each others servers with the appropriate applet client. Print out and hand in the log for your server and the source code.

  Homework - have a good Thanksgiving.

• Nov. 30 - write a Swing applet or application that shows 12 different Strokes, 2 examples of each kind of Shape defined in the API (this is a trick question - look carefully for Shapes), and 6 different fill patterns (different Colors don't count as different fill patterns, but different scales of an image and different images do). Include in your Output a list of all the things you use. If a bunch of samples seems boring, then be creative - creativity can take the place of some samples.

  Hand in: Source code and url if it is an applet. If it is an application, put it in your Public directory and tell me where to find it.

• Dec 3 - Read about Images and String

  Write a Java 1.2 applet or application that shows a string using 6 different Strokes and 6 different fonts chosen randomly from the system list of fonts. For 2 sets of string/image pairs, use the string as a clipping area for the image.

  Hand in: Source code and url if it is an applet. If it is an application, put it in your Public directory and tell me where to find it.

• Dec. 10 - Final Exam
