Programming Fundamentals for CIS Majors 2


Lectures, Schedule and Handouts Page

Course Description

The purpose of this course is to build upon the foundation developed in CIS 3022 (prerequisite). Students will learn more about the technical aspects of the field of computer science, including further object-oriented concepts, problem solving, user interfacing, and system testing. Due to the nature and complexity of computer science, this course will be time consuming and requires serious dedication on the part of each student. Attention to detail, analytical thinking, logical problem solving, and Java programming is very technical work and will be expected of you from day one in the semester. In addition, as in any course, rote memorization is necessary to recall the terms, definitions, and syntax taught. Please be aware of these points and arrange your schedule accordingly.

[5 Aug] Final Exam: FinalExam.pdf, CodeFile: FinalExam.zip.
Solutions: Section-A: refer the in-class Quizzes. Section-B: StackOfLinkedStrings.java, DynamicCircularQueueOfStringArray.java.
[4 Aug] Project 5 solution is available on E-Learning.
[2 Aug] Here are the portions for the final exam. All the best!
[2 Aug] Final Project Update: (1) The deadline has been extended to August 4th (Wed) at 11:59pm. This is a hard deadline and no submissions will be accepted after that. You can submit using the "Project-6 Complete Extended" Assignment on E-Learning which will be open until Wednesday's deadline.
(2) As project documentation, you must include a "Readme.txt" file within your project folder (before you zip) that contains changes, advancements and the features in your project. It can be a simple list of items with entries such as "--A Custom Circular Double Linked List is used for Check handling", "--Every transaction is written to file as soon as it is completed, but also stored in an Object array during the program's lifetime.", etc.
(3) FEES: Overdraft fees apply to both Savings and Checking ⇒ 20$ + (if amt in savings) transfer fee of 30$ - both debited from customer's checking account only. If Savings account does not exist or does not have the required balance, the transaction should be voided. Checking account also has Minimum Balance fees (enter into Transaction.csv as "Checking Fees") of 10$, and Savings account the Excess Withdrawal fees (enter into Transaction.csv as "Savings Fees") of 20$ (based on datetime). This fee structure should not be changed.

[27 July] For Quiz-7 include four new remove methods: removeFromHead(), removeFromTail(), remove(int index) and remove(int data). Only the method remove(int index) returns the data value. Update the driver accordingly to make the menu work. You can upgrade the menu by making it "a h 5" for "add element 5 to head" instead of just "h 5", so on.

Textbooks

There is no mandatory textbook. The recommended textbooks are listed here. The text Introduction to Programming and Object-Oriented Design Using Java, (Nino & Hosch) comes closest to fit the course requirements and I shall be prescribing reading assignments from it. I shall also be posting lecture notes as the class progresses.
