15-121 Homework 1: Arrays and Objects - Due 9/17 at midnight
Download and unzip hw1-code.zip, which contains the
two files you will need for this assignment. There are two parts:
- In the file, ArrayTester.java, you will find 10 method declarations
with empty bodies. You are to implement each of these incomplete methods
and write code that calls and tests them in the main method. Each method has
a comment describing what it is supposed to do; questions about functionality
should be discussed in Thursday's recitation.
- In the file, Human.java, you are to extend the class with at least
three (3) new attributes (fields) and methods that display and utilize them in
an appropriate manner (similar to how we added "friends" to the class on
Thursday. I don't want to over-constrain this, but I also don't expect you to
go wild (like by trying to implement a Facebook-like friends-of-friends graph;
we'll do that later in the course!).
- BONUS POINTS - Props (and an
indeterminate number of bonus points) for creative additions to the Human
class. Points awarded at the discretion of the judges. All judging decisions
are final. YMMV.
Note: You will be graded in part on your coding style. Your code
should be easy to read, well organized, and concise. You should avoid
duplicate code.
Submitting Your Work
When you have completed this assignment and tested your code
thoroughly, create a .zip file with your work
(including ArrayTester.java and Human.java). Name the zip file "your-last-name".zip and
email it to me mjs@cmu.edu.
Make sure to keep a copy of your work just in case something goes wrong!
