Lab 8 - ICS 111

ICS 111, Introduction to Computer Science
Lab 8 - Implementing an Algorithm - June 19

This lab will help the student by:

To practice "if" statements and comparisons.
To practice and implement try/catch statements to avoid program crashing.

Instructions:

To receive credit for this lab assignment, you must be finished by Thursday, June 19, at 11:59 p.m. After this time you will not receive any credit. Future lab assignments will be due by 11:59 p.m. on the day of the lab assignment.

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.

Note: Tuesday's lab will be the algorithm in pseudocode for the following, and today's lab will be the JAVA program itself.

Do the following:

The student will read three numbers.

In case that any user error occurs, the program should exit gracefully.

The numbers will be printed out in the order read.

The program will find the smallest number and print it out

The program will find the largest number and print it out

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...
