HW6 Advice

I have looked at my solution. Here is a rough estimate as to the time I think it would take you to complete the similar assignment (these lines of code INCLUDES documentation):

Lines of Code	Class	Comments	Time (HH:MM)
85	Problem1		1:30
448	Set of classes for Problem2	Try to model the information using helper classes. These can then be used to instantiate objects used as Values within a Hashtable.	5:00
0	Problem3
	Problem4	I haven't written this yet. But try to identify the many cases that are relevant. Don't focus on the # of lines of code but seek out all cases that are going to be important.	2:30

			9:00

HW6 Grading Sheet (TO BE FILLED IN)

The TA/SAs grading your assignments will be using this form to tally your results. This will clearly explain to you what is being expected of you.

Question	Points	Actual	Description	Notes
1. 25 pts.	+4		Proper Javadoc Documentation throughout
	+4		Design helper static method in Problem1 to compute Saddle Point from array or Design separate class with static method to compute Saddle Point from array.
	+3		Has student answered question regarding likelihood of saddle points in rectangular arrays vs. square ones
	+4		Properly functioning code to generate random arrays (whether square or rectangular)
	+5		Proper execution of 10,000 trials
	+4		Proper format and values for output in 1a
	+4		Proper format and values for output in 1b
2. 30 pts.	+4		Proper Javadoc documentation throughout
	+4		Design of a class to represent the information for a specific Security
	+3		Proper use of a Hashtable to store Security Information
	+4		Proper use of an ArrayList to store the information read from the securities.dat file;
	+8		Proper calculations of the Security information over the aggregate period (low, high, close, open) -- 2 points each
	+5		Proper Calculation of Sector aggregate information
	+2		Proper formatting for output results
3. 20 pts.	+2		D1. 2 points for each Defect found
	+2		D2.
	+2		D3.
	+2		D4.
	+2		D5.
	+2		D6.
	+2		D7.
	+2		D8.
	+2		D9.
	+2		D10.
4. 25 pts.	+4		Proper Javadoc Documentation throughout; yes I know these are test cases, but we have now begun documenting these carefully, too.
	+6		Sufficient test cases for COINCIDENT
	+6		Sufficient test cases for PARALLEL
	+6		Sufficient test cases for INTERSECTING
	+3		Sufficient test cases for Exception cases
TOTAL 100 pts.			I expect this will take you between 9 and 11 hours

HW5 Guidelines

To start the coding problems in this assignment, take the following steps:

In eclipse, first create a project named "cs2102homeworks" (Just a suggestion). For all Java classes that you develop for your assignment, they MUST belong to the package:
<userName>.hw6

where <userName> is replaced by your CCC id. For example, if I were submitting this assignment, I would use "heineman.hw5". When you request to create a package (using the Eclipse wizard).
Your solution to Problem1 must be in a Java class Problem1.java within your package. Your solution may also involve other classes that you develop to help solve Problem1. These must be submitted with your assignment.
Your solution to Problem2 must be in a Java class Problem2.java within your package. You will likely create other classes to help your program. These must be submitted with your assignment. The securities.dat and prices.dat must be found within your package and must contain the original information that was made available to the class when the assignment was handed out.
Create a file in this package called Q3-DEFECTS.txt which will contain your answers to question 3.
Your solution to the fourth problem will be a class LinesTestCases.java
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU FOLLOW THESE NAMING GUIDELINES BECAUSE THE TAs ARE GOING TO HAVE TO EXECUTE/GRADE/READ 90 ASSIGNMENTS, AND THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO AUTOMATE THE PROCESS.
To submit hw6, first export all files in package "<userName>.hw6" to a zip file. To do this, right click on package "hw6", choose "export...", and in the pop-up window, select "zip file" as the export destination. Name this zip file as "USERNAME-hw6.zip".

You can verify that your USERNAME-hw6.zip file is properly formatted by opening up the .zip file within WinZip or any program that reads that format. You should see within the .zip file all the Java source files that you created.
Use the online turnin system to upload your files for you and your programming partner.
