Homework 6 Clarifications

Problem 2

• You may NOT use String operations (other than charAt() which will be o.k.) to simplify this question. You must treat the array of characters as if it is an array - you can only read or write one element at a time from a particular location.
• Note that you cannot just set the cut-off to equal the problem size - we are expecting a parallel solution to the problem! :-)

Pseduo-code For both problem 1 and problem 2, you are welcome to write Java code as your solution. We care about your solution being written to enough detail that we can tell if you have handled edge cases appropriately. We do not care about you creating a fjPool, but we do care about the parameters you pass to each thread as it is created, etc. We WILL be checking for off-by one errors.
