Assignments
Programming exercises will consist of smaller problems that help you build your problem solving skills towards solving larger problems. We expect exercises to acquaint you with skills needed for projects and exams. To reduce stress, these smaller exercises are worth a relatively "small" percentage of the course score. We grade exercises based on your success in completing the assigned task. Plus, we will not require you to do all the exercises perfectly to get a perfect exercise score (see Grading, above).  Thus, as long as you make a sincere effort on most of the exercises, you should get a good exercise score.

For written problems, you can download the assignments, provided below. We may also post problems during lecture, section, and on the website:

2	Thu 9/7	Tue 9/12	Chapman Exercises: 2.1a-b,  2.2a-e, 2.5, 2.7a-i, 2.8a-b, 2.11. Do all work in an M-File. Include all output with your submission. Follow all rules listed below in the Submission Rules.	e2a_sol
3	Tue 9/12	Thu 9/14	Chapman 3.4 (pg 111)	e3sol.txt
4	Tue 9/26	Thu 9/28	Do problems 1 & 2 from Project 3 (see Section 5 of the writeup). Yes, partners are allowed but you must work with the same partner that you will have for Project 3.	manualmethod.m
5	Thu 9/28	Tue 10/3	Do problems 3 & 4 from Project 3 (see Section 5 of the writeup). Yes, partners are allowed but you must work with the same partner that you will have for Project 3.	exactmethod.m lhsrhsmethod.m
6	Thu 10/5	Tue 10/12	This will either count as a makeup or bonus, depending on whether or not you missed an exercise so far. Do Chapman 7.1 & 7.2, pg 282.	7.1) c_sort1.m c_strcmp.m test_c_sort1.m 7.2) <coming>
7	Tue 10/17	Thu 10/19	Problem 2.13 (Java, p56). Use variable assignments for data -- do not obtain anything from user input for now.
8	Tue 10/30	Thu 11/2	Draw the box scope diagrams for the code in lecture19.java. You will draw 3 diagrams for states of the code. The diagrams should represent the execution of all all code up to each line indicated in the file. Neatness counts! You may want to copy Part 1, which will be used for Part 2. Then, you may want to copy Part 2, which will be used for Part 3.	box1.pdf box2.pdf box3.pdf
9	Tue 11/7	Thu 11/9	Draw the box scope diagrams for the point indicated in exercise9.java. You should try to predict the output before actually running the code.	exercise9.java boxes.jpg
10	Thu 11/16	Tue 11/21	Chapman, problems 5.5, 5.12	exercise10 DotProduct.java PolarToRect.java

For each exercise, you must do the following:

Staple or bind all sheets of paper. "Bind" means ring or folder, not twist-ties, string, or such nuisances.

Submit entire code unless directed otherwise.

Type all work and responses to discussion questions.

Include a comment block that includes your name, ID, section, section instructor, exercise number, and date as the first lines of each program you submit.

Ensure correct alignment of tab stops in programs with no "chopped"  line of code.

Programs are usually graded in about 1 week.

Due to lack of resources, we might need to restrict returning exercises in Carpenter.
