CSSE 220 – Object-Oriented Software Development

Homework 8

Practice with decisions (if, switch) in Java. More practice implementing classes based on a given specification.

Complete the assigned reading for the next session, according to the course schedule.
- As you read, see if you can answer the self-check questions.
- Bring your questions to class!
Complete the assessment exercise over this reading on ANGEL (under Lessons → Assignments).
Programming:
1. Finish CubicPlot
2. In Eclipse, checkout the Decisions project.
  - Use the SVN Repositories view to check out this project.
3. Complete any in-class exercises that you didn’t finish in class:
  - EmailValidator
  - Bid, including getValue(), isValid(), and 100% test coverage
4. Big Java, Exercise P5.4 (P5.5 in ed3). We would like you to get more experience using ifs, if-elses, and switch statements, so instead of getNumericGrade, we would like you to write two methods:
  - getNumericGrade1(String). This should use either ifs or if-elses, whichever is more appropriate.
  - getNumericGrade2(String). Change your code to use at least one switch statement.

Remember, in all your code:

Write appropriate comments:
- Javadoc comments for public fields and methods.
- Explanations of anything else that is not obvious.
Give self-documenting variable and method names:
- Use name completion in Eclipse, Ctrl-Space, to keep typing cost low and readability high.
Use Ctrl-Shift-F in Eclipse to format your code.
Take care of all auto-generated TODO's.
- Then delete the TODO comment.
Correct ALL compiler warnings.
- Quick Fix is your friend!

Here is the grading rubric for this assignment.
