1. Assignments: Approx. 6 counting a total of 40%. Assignments are due on the date specified. Late assignments will be discounted.
2. Unannounced quizes. Total of 10% (Note: minimum grade of 50% if you take the quiz.) There will be no makeups for quizes.
3. Two tests each counting 15 percent for a total of 30 percent;
4. A final exam counting 15 percent;
5. Attendance and deportment: 5 percent.

• All tests are cumulative.
• Assignments will be graded on functionality (i.e., do they work), structure and style. Structure includes clear and efficiently written code. Style includes documentation, indentation and overall readability. Documentation includes comments. Programs without comments are unclear and unreadable.
• Please note that assignments count for 40% of the final grade. The Even though I blew off half the assignments, I'll do well because I did well on the tests theory is false.
• While much of the material is from the book, a significant portion will be from the lectures. You are responsible for all material presented in class. Consequently, attendance is required.
• Assignment submissions:
  • On-time except for a verified excuse. Late assignments not accepted. Assignments are due at the beginning of class.
  • Neatly printed and stapled. Clever edge and corner folding to attach multiple pages will not be accepted nor will paper clips.
  • Your name, the course, the date, the subject of the assignment and the assignment number will appear in a comment block at the beginning of each assignment. Non-complying assignments will be returned ungraded.
  • Assignments will not be accepted by email.
  • No screen-caps unless graphic output is involved.

You are responsible for all material presented in class. If you elect not to attend, you are responsible for obtaining the material you missed. Email requests to me for summaries of material presented in class will not be answered.

1. Write a program to calculate the area of a circle. The program will read in the radius and write out the area calculated. (the area is radius times radius times 3.1415). Due: Friday Sept 11.

2. Write a class for a Circle object following the example for the Gradebook given in the book.

   A circle is defined by three pieces of data: x and y coordinates of the center and radius. These should be double private variables.

   The functions of Circle will be:

   1. a constructor which receive the x, y and radius in that order.

   2. a Show() function that prints the x, y and radius and the area of the circle.

   The program should be written as 3 files as the book shows for Gradebook. Write a main() progarm that creates three Circle objects (and initializes them) and then displays their contents (similar to the example in the book).

   Due: Mon Sept 28

3. Do Exercise 6.35 on page 326 (computers in education). Due: Mon Oct 26

4. Do-It-Yourself Lottery. Basically, determine what the chance is of winning a Powerball style lottery. To do this, generate a "winning" ticket then see how many time it takes to draw the same tickey.

   Write a program to generate 6 random numbers in the range of 1 to 50. Store these in an array named 'win'. In a loop, generate sets of 6 random numbers and store in another array. Compare the contents of this array against the 'win' array. Quit when they match. Count the number of times it takes to win. Repeat the whole process 10 times and average the counts. Due: Fri Nov 13.

If you do not have or wish to use your own computer, accounts on a Linux server will be available.

The book comes with a CD with the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler. Instruction will assume you are using the Linux/Apple based version of C/C++. Ignore the MS C++ compiler. I will not provide support for the MS C++ compiler.

Note: basic BSD(Apple)/Linux commands will be covered in class.
