1.  Log in to UH UNIX (Secure Shell in Windows) or (Putty) and create a Java program in Pico that fulfills the following requirements:

• Read in three Strings from the user.
• First, the information should be validated.  Strings which are less than one character long will not be accepted and the program will exit gracefully.
• The Strings will be printed out in alphabetical order. You should use the compareTo method to put the strings in order.  The program will find the string that goes alphabetically first and print it out, then the one that goes second alphabetically and so on.
• The program will find the smallest String (length) and print it out (if two Strings with the same 'shortest' length, print the first of that length).
• The program will find the largest String (length) and print it out (if two Strings with the same 'longest' length, print the first of that length).
   

You need to write comments using the JAVA coding standard  - failure to do so will result in up to a 30% deduction from your score.

2.  Open Pine (Getting Started with Pine, PDF) and send an email with the file attached to ics111-lab@hawaii.edu account.

- Your e-mail should have the following subject:  lab X / lastname  (substitute the lab number for 'X', and lastname should be substituted for your lastname)  Not following this standard will result in a deduction of points.

3.  Check the webpage to make sure that the e-mail arrived at http://www2.hawaii.edu/~tp_200/bmf/ics111-lab.html
