COSC 1046 – Fall 2014 – Assignment 1

This assignment is designed to give you some practice and experience writing Java applications using
variables, keyboard input and if-statements. Each question

specifies the name that each application
should have. Please follow this naming convention. When you have completed the assignment
compress all ofyour files into a

single archive using Windows (Right Click folder -> Send To
Compressed Folder) or OS X (Right Click folder -> Compress). Using a 3”‘ party compression utility
such

as WinRAR or 7zip may render your files unreadable and un-markable. Submit single
compressed file to D2 L. You can resubmit your files as many times as you would like

up to the due
date and time.

Be sure to include your name and a brief description of your program (as comments) at the
top of each file. Pay attention to using good

variable names. Ifyou have any questions please check
or post to the forum.

Submit solutions for these questions. Wherever applicable, do your best to reproduce my

output
exactly. In my sample bold indicates user-input.

If you work in partners, submit only one solution and make sure that both partners’ names
are in ALL files. If

only one name appears, only one person will get the grade. No exceptions.
A word in general on assignment grading [for future assignments): Ifyour program produces the
displayed output and meets the criteria specified in the question you should expect to receive full
marks. Deductions are taken when there are deviations in the output

– small deductions for small
deviations (calculation error, improper formatting, etc.) while larger deductions are taken for larger
deviations (missing output,

substantially incorrect values, etc.). Express your creativity in your code,
not in your output. Also, deductions will be taken for:

0 lack of comments
0 poor variable

names
0 programs that don’t run at all (large deduction), so make sure your program runs, even if it
is not complete.
Ifyou have any questions or concerns about the

grading scheme before you submit an assignment
please post to the forum and ask for clarification. Ifyou have concerns about the grading you’ve
received on an

assignment, please email me and I will review the grading form.
Do all of the questions to ensure that you are
practicing all the concepts but submit solutions to
questions 3, 4 and 5 ONLY for grading. It is assumed
that you are doing all of the questions and some of
the solutions may be referenced in future
assignments.
