CSE 142: Computer Programming I,

Section 8: Objects

Thursday, August 15

Exercises: Solve the following problems on paper and bring your sheet of paper to your section on Thursday:

1. Self-Check 8.18 (Object Constructors, p580). The constructor in the following class definition has two major problems. What are they? Describe the issues, and write a working version of the constructor:

   public class Point {
       int x;
       int y;
       
       // The constructor:
       public void Point(int initialX, int initialY) {
           int x = initialX;
           int y = initialY;
       }    
   }
   

   You can use PracticeIt to solve this problem. If you do, be sure to write your answer on a sheet of paper.

Section 7: Arrays

Thursday, August 8

Exercises: Solve the following problems on paper and bring your sheet of paper to your section on Thursday:

1. Consider the following method:

   public static void arrayMystery(int[] array) {
       for (int i = 0; i < array.length - 1; i++) {
           if (array[i] < array[i + 1]) {
               array[i] = array[i + 1];
           }
       }
   }
   

   Indicate what values would be stored in the array after the method arrayMystery executes if each integer array below is passed as a parameter to it.

   a. input = {2, 4}
   b. input = {1, 3, 6}
   c. input = {7, 2, 8, 4}
   d. input = {5, 2, 7, 2, 4}
   e. input = {2, 4, 6, 3, 7, 9}
   
2. Self-Check 8.4 (reference mystery, p578). The following program produces 4 lines of output. Write each line of output below as it would appear on the console.

   public class ReferenceMystery3 { 
      public static void main(String[] args) { 
         int a = 7; 
         int b = 9; 
         Point p1 = new Point(2, 2); 
         Point p2 = new Point(2, 2); 
         addToXTwice(a, p1); 
         System.out.println(a + " " + b + " " + p1.x + " " + p2.x); 
         addToXTwice(b, p2); 
         System.out.println(a + " " + b + " " + p1.x + " " + p2.x); 
      } 
    
      public static void addToXTwice(int a, Point p1) { 
         a = a + a; 
         p1.x = a; 
         System.out.println(a + " " + p1.x); 
      } 
   } 
   

   You can use PracticeIt to solve this problem. If you do, be sure to write your answer on a sheet of paper.

3. Chapter 7, Self-Check Problem #10: max (p517). Write a method named max as described. Find the prompt and check your answer on Practice-It.

Section 6: File input/output

Thursday, August 1

Exercises: Solve the following problems on paper and bring your sheet of paper to your section on Thursday:

For the next several questions, consider a file called readme.txt that has the following contents:

6.7           This file has
          several input lines.

  10 20           30   40

test

1. Self-Check 6.12 (file processing, p433). What would be the output from the following code when it is run on the readme.txt file?

   Scanner input = new Scanner(new File("readme.txt"));
   int count = 0;
   while (input.hasNextLine()) {
      System.out.println("input: " + input.nextLine());
      count++;
   }
   System.out.println(count + " total");
   

2. Self-Check 6.13 (file processing, p433). What would be the output from the code in the previous exercise if the calls to hasNextLine and nextLine were replaced by calls to hasNext and next, respectively?
3. Self-Check 6.14 (file processing, p434). What would be the output from the code in the previous exercise if the calls to hasNextLine and nextLine were replaced by calls to hasNextInt and nextInt, respectively? How about hasNextDouble and nextDouble?

Section 5: while, Random, boolean

Thursday, July 25

Exercises: Solve the following problems on paper and bring your sheet of paper to your section on Thursday:

1. while loop mystery For each method call, make a table showing the values that x and y have as you execute the while loop for that particular call. For example, for the first call, the table looks like this:

   mystery(7, 5);              
   
   x     y                   
   --------                  
   7     5
   2     4
   -2    3                   
                             
   

   You are to write out the tables for the other two calls. This problem is included in PracticeIt, but PracticeIt doesn't ask for the tables (just the final output). But you can still use PracticeIt to see this problem.
2. Programming Exercise 5.4 (randomX, p382). You can use PracticeIt to solve this problem. If you do, either print what you end up with so that you can turn it in or copy the code to your paper.
3. Assertions. You will identify various assertions as being either always true, never true or sometimes true/sometimes false at various points in program execution. The comments in the method below indicate the points of interest.

   public static int mystery(int x) {
       int y = 1;
       int z = 0;
       // Point A
       while (x > y) {
   	// Point B
   	z = z + x - y;
   	x = x / 2;
   	// Point C
   	y = y * 2;
           // Point D
       }
       // Point E
       return z;
   }
   

   Copy the table below onto a sheet of paper and fill it in with the words ALWAYS, NEVER or SOMETIMES.

   	x > y	z > 0	y % 2 == 0
   Point A
   Point B
   Point C
   Point D
   Point E

Section 4: if/else, Scanner, return

Thursday, July 18

Exercises: Solve the following problems on paper and bring your sheet of paper to your section on Thursday.

1. Programming Exercise 4.1 (fractionSum, p309). Remember that you can use PracticeIt to solve this problem. If you do, either print what you end up with so that you can turn it in or copy the code to your paper.
2. Programming Exercise 4.12 (printTriangleType, p311). Remember that you can use PracticeIt to solve solve this problem. If you do, either print what you end up with so that you can turn it in or copy the code to your paper.

Section 3: parameters, graphics

Thursday, July 11

Exercises: Solve the following problems on paper and bring your sheet of paper to your section on Thursday.

1. Parameter Mystery. Consider the following program:

   public class Params {
       public static void main(String[] args) {
           int x = 15;
           int y = 2;
           int z = 9;
   
           mystery(x, y, z);
           mystery(z, x, y);
           mystery(y, z, x);
       }
   
       public static void mystery(int a, int b, int c) {
           System.out.println("The " + a + " monkeys ate " + (b + c) + " bananas");
       }
   }
   

   Make a table that shows what value is being passed to each of a, b, and c for each of the three calls and then indicate the output produced by the program.
2. Programming Exercise 3G.1 (MickeyBox, p227). Remember that you can use PracticeIt to solve this problem. If you do, either print what you end up with so that you can turn it in or copy the code to your paper.

Section 2: Expressions, for loops (does not need to be turned in)

Wednesday, July 3

Exercises: Solve the following problems on paper and bring your sheet of paper to your section on Thursday.

1. From Self-Check 2.3 (expressions, p119). Solve the following expressions (see note below):

   14 / 7 * 2 + 30 / 5 + 1
   
   (12 + 3) / 4 * 2
   
   813 % 100 / 3 + 2.4
   

2. From Self-Check 2.4 (expressions, p120). Solve the following expressions (see note below):

   4.0 / 2 * 9 / 2
   
   2.5 * 2 + 8 / 5.0 + 10 / 3
   

3. Self-Check 2.31 (for loops, p126). What is the output of the following sequence of loops?

   for (int i = 1; i <= 2; i++) {
       for (int j = 1; j <= 3; j++) {
           for (int k = 1; k <= 4; k++) {
               System.out.print("*");
           }
           System.out.print("!");
       }
       System.out.println();
   }
   

For the expression problems, please show some work rather than just writing the answer. Write out sub-expressions as you compute their values, and circle or underline operands to show precedence, as is done in the section on "Precedence" in chapter 2 of the textbook (pages 70-73). For example:

2 + 19 % 5 - 11 * (5 / 2)

2 + 19 % 5 - 11 * 2

2 + 4      - 11 * 2

2 + 4      - 22

6          - 22

-16
