Assignment 3
Due Thursday, October 4 at 9:20am on Canvas

Note: All homework assignments are to be done individually

Optional: Install Eclipse on your home computer or laptop following the tutorial. If you run into problems visit me during office hours for one-on-one help.

Assignment 3.1: Your Future Goals (10 pts)
  • Where do you see yourself in 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, and 50 years?
  • Objective: Write a program to print this information out onto the screen.
  • Open a new Java project in Eclipse and name it FutureGoals
  • Add a new class also named FutureGoals
  • Alter the block comment at the top of your program to contain your name and section information like so:
/**
* @author YourNameHere
* CIS 36A
*/

  • Create 4 System.out.println statements with an answer to the above 4 questions.
  • Each question needs to be printed on a separate line with a ;.
  • When finished, upload your FutureGoals.java file to Canvas.
  • To find this file, you will (most likely) need to look under Documents -> Workspace -> FutureGoals->src -> FutureGoals -> FutureGoals.java
  • However, if you close Eclipse and re-open it, it will remind you where your workspace is (i.e. where it is saving your files).
  • When you are finished, run your program and you should get output similar to the following (but not identical).
  • You should print out YOUR answers to the questions.
In five years, I expect to have graduated from college.
In ten years, I will be working at Google.
In twenty years, I will be married with 3 kids.
In fifty years, I will be retired and cruising the Carribean.


Assignment 3.2: Writing Your Name (10 pts)
  • For this project write a Java program that displays your name in banner-sized letters to the console (video screen). For example, the output of the program for the name J Parrish would be:
   J PPP   AA  RRR  RRR  IIII SSSS H  H
   J P  P A  A R  R R  R  II  S    H  H
   J PPP  AAAA RRR  RRR   II  SSSS HHHH
J  J P    A  A R  R R  R  II     S H  H
JJJJ P    A  A R  R R  R IIII SSSS H  H
  • The letters should be written like the above using a 4 character width by 5 character length (4x5) letters.
  • The name of the source code file must be Banner.java. 
  • Each banner letter must be made from the uppercase letters of the letter being created.
    For example, a banner "A" would be made of uppercase A's as shown above.
  • Print at least 7 banner-sized letters and no more than 18.
    The example above has 8 banner-sized letters.
  • Note: No input is needed or allowed.
  • Hint: To complete this assignment, write 5 System.out.println statements.
  • Think in terms of horizontal lines! You will not be able to print one letter at a time. Rather, you will need to print out each row of the output one by one.
    • In the above example, this is the first row:
        J PPP   AA  RRR  RRR  IIII  SSS H
  • When you are finished, upload Banner.java to Canvas.


Assignment 3.3: Pair Programming (10 pts)

  • Introduction to Pair Programming: a professionally developed video (10 minutes)
  • Watch the above video and answer the questions on this worksheet
  • For all classwork, we will be working in pairs for the rest of the quarter
  • Upload your completed worksheet to Canvas when you are finished as a .doc, .docx, .odt, or .pdf.
