Quiz 3
October 20, 2008
Third quiz, Friday, 10/24/08. Topics covered:
- types
- primitives
- references
- assignment
- literals
- object declaration
- object creation
- object assignment
- garbage collection
- arrays
- for loops
So, basically, Chapter 3 and Lab 6. The JavaBat Array 1 and Array 2 sets are a good way to practice with array syntax and simple loops.
Quiz prep mini-lab: Create a class to represent a fraction. The Fraction class should have instance variables (of an appropriate type) to store the numerator and denominator. Include a method called printFraction() to print out the fraction in the format numerator/denominator (for example 3/5 or 15/20). Your method does not need to reduce the fraction. Write a FractionTestDrive class to test your class. First create two Fraction objects, set their values and print them out using the printFraction method. Once you have that working, switch the FractionTestDrive to create an array of 20 fractions with random numerators and denominators, and print them out. Always remember to be lazy! If you find this task simple, then figure out how to reduce the fraction to lowest terms, and restate improper fractions as mixed numbers.
