3/19  On HW3.  The point of the assignment is to give you an opportunity to look closely at the implementation of these classes.  It defeats the purpose to extend them with a subclass that then adds the desired functionality in a high level way.  In particular, adding some sort of locking or use of synchronized blocks is not acceptable.  You should modify the code of the classes to come up with efficient implementations.

3/18  Since I have been unexpectedly unavailable for office hours and class this week, the deadline for HW3 is extended to Monday, March 23. I will have office hours on Friday at 10:30-11:30. We will have class tomorrow and will discuss the final project--attendance is strongly encouraged.
