Spring 2004 CS0007: Introduction to Programming Assignment 1: What's my age again? |
||||||
You will be
turning this assignment in electronically. It is essential that before you start, you
have gone through the three handouts in the background. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
| This assignment is intended to make sure you are up to speed on editing, compiling, using tio, and turning in programs. You will also find out how to get a printout if you want one (although you will not be turning one in for this assignment). |
||||||
| What to do |
||||||
First, study the programs on p. 25 (String concatenation) and p. 27 (User Input). You should make sure you can compile and run both of these small programs. Your job is to write a new program that will ask for the user's name and age, read them into variables, then print this information back to the screen. Here are some tips:
|
||||||
| Sample Output |
||||||
Here is an example of program execution. Your output doesn't have to be exactly the same, but should be similar.
|
||||||
| Handing
your work in |
||||||
Before you do this, make sure you have gone through the handing programs in handout. All of the key steps are shown there. The only difference is that you will need to substitute the file name used in this assignment and the directory assignment1 for "sample". Here are the steps you'll need to take, again substituting your CIS id for yourid.
(41) does the actual copy and (42) is a way for you to confirm that the files are actually there and turned in. If you run into an error, you may have mistyped the full path name or have files in the handin directory with the same name. It is important you do not misuse the copy command - be very careful to type things in correctly. |

| Getting a Printout |
||||||
Sometimes it is useful to have a printout (although not required in this assignment). When you come for help from the instructor or TA, you must bring a printout (we'll be writing on it). There are several ways to obtain one: Printing from unixs You can get a printout in most of the campus labs, you just have to know the code (aka, "queue name) for the lab you want. For example, the following command will print from the Benedum 10th floor lab: (8) unixs1 $ lpr -PBEH youridSayNameAge.javaBEH is the code for Benedum hall. You can pick up the printout about 15 minutes later at the main desk. Here is a list of some of other labs. Just substitute these codes in for BEH above if you want to use them:
If you aren't working in a lab, then you need a way to get your source code file to your local machine for printing. Cutting & Pasting The simplest way is to do a cut and paste from your telnet session. Just highlight the program code on your screen, select copy (Ctrl-C often works), open up notepad (or any editor), then paste (Ctrl-V often works). You can print from there. If your program is large, this is not a great way to go. Emailing the code to yourself If you are familiar with a unix email program (like pine or elm), you can start this up in unixs (be in the same directory as your code), and email the code to yourself as an attachment. You can simply print the email, then. Here is a handout describing how you can do this with pine. ftp Even if you aren't familiar with ftp, you can use this method. One a windows computer, just do Start --> Run --> and enter ftp unixs.cis.pitt.edu Then enter your user id and password. From here you can cd your way to your java directory, then type get <filename> (plug in whatever file you want). ls works as well, so you can look before you get. This will download the file to your computer (you'll have to find it). If you have another FTP program available (like WS_FTP), you can use it as well) |
