Learning Outcome

At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

• Understand how to navigate the Linux Terminal (Unix Server)
• create an application that does something useful
• review the 6 computer steps to solving a structured problem

Silent Watching

• watch this video
• then this video

Review

• make sure you have your notebook formatted correctly
  • ensure you have an entry for EVERY class we have
• why is the "Hello World" program important
  • one of the biggest hurdles in programming is getting through all the "little things", just to make something show up

Lesson

• go over Programming Style Guide, the code you write is not just for you, it is for other people too!
• what is a comment
  • you MUST have the header on every file of code
  • if I do not know it is from you, I can not give you the marks!

 * This program calculates the number of logs that will fit on a truck,

 *     if you know their length

Activity

• Review the topics in this Linux Tutorial in order to become more comfortable navigating the Unix Server
• read "Problem Solving", Chapter 2, Computer Based Problem Solving

Daily Assignment

• read the following problem:
  • Depending on the logging company, maple logs are cut into lengths of either 0.25 m, 0.5 m or 1m.
  • Maple logs weigh 20 kg/m and a logging truck can carry 1100 kg.
  • How many maple logs should be placed on a truck if you know the lengths of the logs? (Note: a truck will only take 1 length type of logs at a time).
• create the first 3 steps of a "Computer Programming 6 Step" problem-solving model for the above question
• do it in Google Docs using "proper" flowchart symbols and show me before proceeding
  • you might want to use Lucidchart to make your flowchart
    • use your school Google account to login and it is free
• once your first 3 steps are approved, do the next 3 in Java so that a person can select the company and the program tells the user how many logs can go on a truck
• post the solution and then the final program on your website
  1. top-down design
  2. flow-chart
  3. pseudo-code
  4. at least three (3) test cases calculated out using some other method then your program (ensure you show how you calculated each one of them out!)
  5. actual code
  6. three screenshots of the program working (with actual values from your test cases above)
  7. link and screenshot of Github repo

Extra

• do the above in a second language
