1.  Login to UNIX

2.  Create and edit a file called 'LabX.java' (substitute the lab number for X- where  is the number of the lab- such as 'Lab1.java') in Pico, then compile and run the program.

Do the following:

• request/read one number from the user
• If the input is not a number the program should exit gracefully.
• validate that the number is between [1..15]
• If the number is out of the above range, the program should print an error and exit.
• The program should use at least one for and one while loop.
• The program will print out a grid of '*'s with the dimenstions as input by the user.
• If the user enters 5, the program should print the following:
  

  *****
  *****
  *****
  *****
  *****

• If the user enters 10, the program should print the following:
  

  **********
  **********
  **********
  **********
  **********
  **********
  **********
  **********
  **********
  **********

• All the information should be validated (catch the possible NumberFormatExceptions)
   
• Note:  If the program doesn't compile or if the program crashes you will get no credit
   
• Use javadoc style to write your program:  Refer to the Java Coding Standard and make sure your code adheres to its rules. 

3.  Get into Pine and attach the file to an e-mail and send the e-mail / file to the ics111-lab@hawaii.edu account.

• Your e-mail should have the following subject:  labX / lastname / section  (X should be substituted for the lab number [such as lab 1], lastname should be substituted for your lastname, section should be substituted with the A for the afternoon section and M for the morning section)  Not following this standard will result in a deduction of points.
• control <J>, then control <T> allows you to browse and pick the file that you wish to attach

4.  Check the webpage to make sure that the e-mail arrived. 

Here is the URL:
http://www2.hawaii.edu/~tp_200/bmf/ics111-lab.html

5. Once I (TA) get the e-mail in my account AND I can verify it on the web, you will receive your lab participation point.  For grading policies on your lab, click here...

6. Hints.

Try figuring out how to make the program print a single line of '*'s first. Then make it print out the multiple lines. If you can get the program to do a single line on Tuesday and multiple lines on Thursday, that would be a great division of labor. Don't worry about using doubles, you'll never need to input a fractional number for this program.
