COSC1519 Introduction To Programming: Week 5 Tutorial
Students must submit this work before end of week 5 and demonstrate in the week 7 practical class.
See specific instructions below.
Important notes to read first:
• This is an individual assessment. Do even not show your answers to other students (RMIT Academic Integrity); feel free to discuss approaches in a general way. Instructors can only give general advice as writing code, debugging, answers to exercises, etc. are assessed.
• Read all unread announcements under Canvas→Announcements.
• Please do any missed tutorials from the past, if you have not done so already. Do not leave gaps. If you have questions, please ask via Canvas→Discussion or during consultation. You can also make use of the CSIT mentoring services run by past students.
• Students must complete all exercises in this document and submit only the ExpenseManager.java file via Canvas→Assignments→’Week 5 Tutorial’ before the end of week 5 and then demonstrate the work in person during the week 7 practical class to get the mark for ‘week 5 tutorial’.
• If no submission found, the demo will not be taken.
If no demo, there will be no marks for that submission.
• For exact deadlines, always refer to Canvas→Assignments.
• All classes finish 20 minutes past the hour so that students and staff can go to the next class on time. It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that they are present and ready to demonstrate their work on time. As there are many students to mark within a short period of time, markers may conclude your demonstration if you exceed the time limit.
Your tutor will discuss the following:
Manipulating values in arrays.
• Go to Canvas→Discussions→Lectures and get the ExpenseManager.java (22nd March 2019) to work in a new Eclipse project. We will turn this in to a general expenses manager. Rename all references to coffee, in your code, comments and its output, to refer to general expenses. There should be no mention of coffee in your code or your comments after completing this step.
• Modify your code so that you can search for and delete an expense from the list. Before deleting matching entries, ask the user for confirmation.
Optional: Modify the code so that when entering the values, they are inserted in the alphabetical order.
