IB Computer Science 2

Contents
Thursday (9/30/10)
Warmup:
- Pickup 5 playing cards from Mr. Bui
- Use the SelectionSort algorithm to hand-sort the cards from least to greatest
Agenda:
- Demo AddressBook class lab assignment
- Demo ArrayPractice exercises
- Demo SelectionSort
- Add a (s)ort option to your AddressBook
- In order to compare Strings:
if (str1.compareTo(str2) < 0)
{
System.out.println(str1 + " goes before " + str2);
}
- So inside your AddressBook, you'd have something like this:
if (myContacts[i].getLastName().compareTo(myContacts[i].getLastName()) < 0)
- Introduction to BubbleSort?
Back To School Night (9/29/10)
Tuesday (9/28/10)
Warmup:
- Create a Java file with a main() called SelectionSort
- Create an array of 20 ints
- Use your own numbers in the array
Agenda:
- Introduction to Selection Sort
- Find the smallest element
- Move to the front of the array (swap with front)
- Repeat Steps 1&2, but ignoring the sorted front
- Selection Sort Animation
- Another Selection Sort Animation
- Sorting Animations
- Download Media:SelectionSort.java
- Fill in the commented parts of the SelectionSort.java file. Where there is a comment, you need to write code.
Friday (9/24/10)
Warmup:
- You will be creating a user interface menu for use with your AddressBook
- Open / create your AddressBook's main method
- Inside the main method, create an AddressBook variable:
AddressBook book = new AddressBook();
- Print out a message that explains the program (e.g. "Welcome to YOUR_NAME's address book!")
- Print out a menu with the following options:
(a)dd to address book (f)ind a Contact (p)rint address book (q)uit What would you like to do?
- You should prompt for input after the menu is printed. Review Media:JavaIOExample.java for examples of input/output
- Add import java.io.*; at the very top
- Add private static BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( System.in ) ); before main()
- Add throws IOException so that main() reads like public static void main(String [] args) throws IOException
- You may now use stdin.readLine(); to read in a String
- To compare Strings, use .equals() like so: myStr.equals("a")
- If the user inputs 'a', then print a message that says "USER SELECTED ADD"
- If the user inputs 'f', then print a message that says "USER SELECTED FIND"
- If the user inputs 'p', then print a message that says "USER SELECTED PRINT"
- If the user inputs 'q', then print a message that says "USER SELECTED QUIT"
Agenda:
- Complete AddressBook class lab assignment
- Create the Contact remove(String fn, String ln) method for the AddressBook
- Using a for loop, find the Contact that matches fn and ln, and save it in a variable
- Once you have found the Contact, you should remember its index (location) in the array
- Check if the Contact was found in the array
- If it was found, you must use a loop to shift all the array elements down one index
- HINT: myContacts[i] = myContacts[i+1] //where i is a loop counter
- Be sure to set the last element to null (so that there isn't a duplicate Contact in the end)
- HINT: myContacts[size-1] = null;
- Decrement size
- Return the removed Contact
- Demo all assignments
Homework:
- Install the Java JDK on your computer (be sure to choose your corresponding operator system)
- Install Eclipse Classic on your computer (be sure to choose your corresponding operator system on the right)
- Test it out, and let Mr. Bui know if you run into problems
