Because WebCAT was so slow in accepting assignments last night, I have extended the deadline till midnight tonight.
Feel free to update your submissions. Any submissions that arrived late last night are automatically given back the lateness points.
=================================================================

The last assignment is now ready for submissions on the WebCAT.
For now it uses the given files cinema.txt and orders.txt and expects the following two reports:
String salesReport = |
"1,1,960,20,30,40,730\n" |
+ "1,1,960,30,20,50,840\n" |
+ "1,1,960,40,30,50,0\n" |
+ "1,3,1020,20,10,30,510\n" |
+ "2,2,990,20,40,20,640\n" |
+ "2,2,990,10,5,10,0\n"; |
|
String managerReport = |
"Report 1\n" |
+ "Harry Potter,A,960,300,50,50,90\n" |
+ "Harry Potter,A,1080,300,0,0,0\n" |
+ "Harry Potter,A,1200,300,0,0,0\n" |
+ "Harry Potter,C,1020,500,0,0,0\n" |
+ "Harry Potter,C,1140,500,0,0,0\n" |
+ "Great Expectations,B,990,90,0,0,0\n" |
+ "Great Expectations,B,1210,90,0,0,0\n" |
+ "Report 2\n" |
+ "Harry Potter,A,960,300,50,50,90\n" |
+ "Harry Potter,A,1080,300,0,0,0\n" |
+ "Harry Potter,A,1200,300,0,0,0\n" |
+ "Harry Potter,C,1020,500,20,10,30\n" |
+ "Harry Potter,C,1140,500,0,0,0\n" |
+ "Great Expectations,B,990,90,20,40,20\n" |
+ "Great Expectations,B,1210,90,0,0,0\n"; |
The two files are already included in the WebCAT server - you do not need to upload them.
Make sure you include a README file that shows how to run your program.

Mea culpa.
As the result, 25 November is now the official deadline.

Assignment 7 - updated WebCAT tests and additional instructions:
Please note that we have modified the black box tests on WebCAT and added the following requirement.
Within your BTree implementation, you must add the following method:
/** |
* Method that accepts a visitor that produces a value of the type R |
* *param v the given visitor |
* *param <R> the type of elements this tree holds |
* *return the result of the visitor method |
*/ |
public <R> R accept(RBTreeVisitor<T, R> v){ |
//NOTE: tree is the name of my RBTree field. You would replace tree |
// with the name of your RBTree field. |
return tree.accept(v); |
} |

Instructions for converting user-defined test suite into tester library version are available here. If you do not have it, download the tester.jar from this link.
There is a WebCAT Assignment A6 Testing to be used to check out your code from the previous assignment before submitting Assignment 7. This will not count towards the grade - it is to give you a chance to work out the WebCat problems.

Here is an interesting article The Essence of the Visitor Pattern by Jans Palsberg and C. Barry Jay describing the Visitor pattern in Java and the ways one can achieve the same results without the additional work the Visitor requires.

For the midterm exam you may bring one page of notes - write on it anything you wish.
Otherwise
– no books – no papers – no electronics
Hint: Read Liskov, especially boxed summaries; read carefully all lecture notes.

The following technique assures that the client will only produce one distinct instance of the StringByLength Comparator:
class StringByLength implements Comparator<String> { |
|
static StringByLength sLength = new StringByLength(); |
|
/** |
* Private constructor so everyone has to use the one and only |
* <code>static</code> instance. |
*/ |
private StringByLength() { } |
... |
} |
The client then replaces
BTree b = BTree.binTree(new StringByLength()); |
with
BTree b = BTree.binTree(StringByLength.sLength); |

The WebCAT is now open for submitting Assignment 4. There may be a small change by the end of the day today - so make sure you re-check your submission once we announce that the final version is posted.
(There are a couple of additional tests we want to add to the test script - and when we re-grade with the change, you need to make sure those tests pass as well.)

I have updated the grading program for Assignment 0 so you no longer get the NullPointerException - instead the tests tell you what you need to fix.
We will cover this in class today.

I have added your usernames to the WebCAT server and published the warmup assignment. Please, try to submit your work - even if it is not complete. to become familiar with the environment.
I still need the user names for ten students - if you know who you are, please email it to me. Otherwise I will get them in class on Monday.
