Homework Assignment Due 11/16/2010

Re-do  the VarVec and the Queue classes as templated classes - start the assignment with the VarVec and/or Queue classes that had the [ ] operator assignment.

 Test Cases - use existing test cases with doubles THEN once those are working then test maybe with point class such that varVec and/or queue can hold point objects.

Make sure VarVec template is in 1  .h file not in the .cpp file

Individual Paper Topics

Papers are to be 5-7 pages in length, include why the language is important, areas of application for the language, why the language is useful and key features of the language.  (Of course the above applies if the paper topic is a language as not all of the options are languages).   Be sure and sign up on the Paper Topic sign up sheet that Hugh has to ensure the topic has not already been taken.

• Pearl(2)
• Lisp
• PHp
• C#
• Python
• .net(2)
• E
• Prolog
• JavaScript(2)

Polymorphism Assignment from our class notes, page VFun/Poly 9

Abstract base class called Figure, with int dem
Constructor, no destructor
Methods: area, objectType

concrete classes derived from the Figure class are:
Square - dem is the side
Circle - dem is the Radious
Eq. Triangle - dem is the side

Part 2 of Assignment due on Thursday, September 30

Please note the due date change of Thursday, September 30th

Parts 1 and 2 are due on Thursday, September 30th

Part 2:
Create a class called Queue - you can use inheritance or containment of the VarVec class for the queue.

Class Queue
variables:  front, back, count
Methods: add, remove, print, isfull, isempty
Default constructor queue(int s = 3)

The queue class is a circular queue, put new items onto the back of the queue and take things off the front of the queue.

Part 1 of Assignment due for Tuesday, Sept 28

Part II of this assignment will be given in class on Thursday, Sept 23.


Write a program called VarVec

.h file

_______________________________________

class VarVec

{

private:

     int size;

     double *pD; // * indicates a pointer to a double

public:

    VarVec(int sz = 5); // default size is 5 for this assignment, most commonly used size is 10

void putValue(int index, double d)

void print( ) // walks down each element of the array and displays

~VarVec ( ); //dstrcr

void resize (int ns);// change the size of the pD array, if smaller than original, just don't copy the end elements or you could just update the size, if larger than original, copy all elements from old array to new array, update pointer, change size variable and destruct the old array.

___________________________________________

.cpp file

______________________________________________________

VarVec::VarVec(int s)

:size(s), pD(new double[s]) {

size = s;

pD = new double[s];

double VarVec::getValue(int index){

   if(index<0 || index > size -1)

      cout<< "some error message";

      exit(); // to cancel the program

return *(pD + index);

_______________________________________________________

Assignment 2 Due Thursday, Sept 16

Some of the notes I have for the assignment are:
Three constructors:
Rectangle(Point , Point)
Rectangle(Point           Point)//with default values
Rectangle(pt l   w) //

Methods to be sure and include:
void draw( ) //draw on screen
print( )
void erase( ) //re-draw but put blank in for border
move(Point neworigin)

// must do one or more of the resize methods
resize(Point newOrigin, Point newCorner)
resize(Point newCorner)
resize(Int l, Int w)

Make sure your development environment is setup by class on 9/2

Follow the instructions handed out in class on Thursday 8/26/10 to ensure that the C++ Builder 5 environment is setup and working. 

Windows 7 and C++ Builder 5:
There have been 2 class members who have been able to C++ Builder 5 installed on their machines with Windows 7 OS - I think successfully.  If you have problems getting this to work for you, post the question(s) here and I'm sure someone in the class can help you resolve the install issue.
