3) Assignments

 

Assignment 4: (due final exam day, before the exam begins):

 

            Q1) (8 points) Do exercise 13.13. Limit yourself to TWO 2D and TWO 3D shapes. Note that it requires you to do exercise 12.7 (of which you have to hand in a hardcopy solution).

            Q2) (7 points) Do exercise 14.6. Name the two programs Q2a.cpp and Q2b.cpp. Also, explain your observations in a hardcopy solution write-up.

 

        (For your practice only – you don’t have to hand it in) Try exercise 15.15 on class Point.

 

Assignment 3: (due 14th July, 2006)

 

Required Reading: You should have a basic knowledge of UML class diagrams, as well as concepts of inheritance and aggregation and how to model them using UML. All the UML topics discussed in the following link will form a component of your final exam (except “Dependency” and “Interfaces”): http://www.objectmentor.com/resources/articles/umlClassDiagrams.pdf

You are free to use any other UML guides available on the internet. The Rational Rose UML modeling software is available in the CIS undergraduate lab for hands on UML design practice. For home use, you can download the free BOUML toolbox here: http://bouml.free.fr/

 

Q1)  (7 points) Do exercise 9.12 (Enhancing Class Rectangle). Note that it requires that you do 9.11 first. Hand in one solution only (9.11 and 9.12 combined). Provide user prompts for rectangle parameter inputs.

For the next two problems, hand in a hardcopy solution only.

Q2) (5 points) Do exercise 12.3. Also give two original examples (one for inheritance and one for aggregation, using UML class diagrams) where inheritance/aggregation will be more appropriate.

Q3) (3 points) Do exercise 12.6.

 

            (for your practice only – you don’t have to hand it in). Try exercise 11.13 on complex numbers.

 

Assignment 2: (due 30th June, 2006)

 

Q1) (3 points) Do exercise 8.36 (the strtok problem).

            Q2) (7 points) Do exercise 8.41 (Text Analysis - part a only).

(bonus: 3 points) Do exercise 8.46, the Morse Code problem.

        

         (For practice only: You don’t need hand these in)

         Try to do exercises 8.21, 8.22, 8.23 and 8.29. Tackling these will exercise and strengthen your pointers and pointer manipulation concepts.

 

Assignment 1: (due 16th June, 2006)

            Q1) (5 points) Do exercise 6.38 (pg. 320) from the course text. The task of “guessing the number” should be modularized into a function called NumberGame.

                     (bonus: 2 points) Do exercise 6.39 (pg. 321). However, you don’t have to show (or prove) that “any number from 1 to 1000 can be guessed in 10 or fewer tries”.

            Q2)  (5 points) Do exercise 7.37. The function recursiveMinimum should be part of a main file called Exerc2.cpp. The starting/ending subscripts, and the array values are read in by prompting the user. Assume that the array size doesn’t exceed 10 elements.

 

4) How to turn in homework

  • Turn in ALL the required materials needed for grading at class-time on the due date.
  • By default the following must be returned:
    • Hard Copy:
      • Page 1. A clearly written text stating the following things:

§                                                         Course name

§                                                         Assignment number

§                                                         Your name

§                                                         Your email address

§                                                         Date

      • Page 2--n. Hard copy of all the source files that you wrote (e.g. Assign1.cpp) and output. If you have multiple files, make sure you write the file name on the first page of each file. If you are printing from Unix, the lpr -p print command will do this for you.
    • Soft Copy:
      • Email me a file ( [your_lastname_AssignmentNumber.zip or your_lastname_AssignmentNumber.rar] together with your hard copy. Use the WinZip or the WinRar utilities to zip your files. I will not accept unzipped or unRAR’ed files. The file should be emailed to javedf@cis.uab.edu before the start of the lecture on the due date. The file should include the following files:
        • Readme file (explains how to set up, compile and run your program)
        • Sources files (the files you wrote)
        • Test files
        • Output files (test results)
        • Makefile (optional)
    • Note: Please staple your hard copy and put it in an envelope. On the envelope write your name and assignment number.
