Mystery Solved: Why the Zero Quarter Solutions Are Not Printing

It looks like the console window only keeps track of the last 100 lines or so. That is why the solutions with zero quarters (which did initially print) run off the page and cannot be located by scrolling back on the console window. You can get around this issue by setting the option for "Infinite Buffering" to be ON when the console window appears after the first time you run the program.

Spacing Problems on Practice It

Sometimes Practice It has trouble recoginizing the proper spacing. If it complains about this, you can ignore these errors. (If it says "FAIL", that error you cannot ignore.) But if you comes back with a yellow warning/error saying your spacing is wrong, you can ignore that and still mark in Juno that you got it right.

Clarification on the Timing of When Homework is Due

Any time you have homework due on a specific date, it is due before class starts. If there is no class that day, it is due before midnight of that day. So when there is no class on that day, you have the entire day to do it. But if there is class, you have to submit before the start of class.

The reason you have to get it done before class starts is because class will often start with a quiz on the homework topic.

Upcoming Exam on Identifiers

We will have an exam on Wednesday, 9/18 on Identifiers. You will be given 50 True/False questions asking which words are valid identifiers in java and which are not.

Please make sure you complete the corresponding JunoED.com lesson on identifiers before taking the exam.

After School Help

Help for computer science students is available most Mondays after school from 2:10 to 3:00PM in the computer lab (Room 507). If no students show up by 2:20, I usually go home.

This Coming Week, We Will Have Class in Room 506 Instead of the Lab

The strange start to the school year featured 3 straight lab days for our class. So we ended up doing the "House with Sunrise" lab before we did all the prep work for it. But you still need all the prep work because the material is covered on the AP exam.

So we will have class both Tuesday and Wednesday of the coming week in Room 506. I realize it is a bit backwards but that is OK.
