Welcome to the new trimester! This one should be particularly exciting and filled with several new ways of doing things. For one, you are working on a non-programming project and for another we are migrating to Eclipse as our development platform. Group work is also planned for today.

We do have to address the recent test and why solving the problems was so difficult. We'll see whether putting your heads together or asking questions of something other than the compiler is any more effective. We will also review the return statement and contrast it with println.

Files for the new Search Project are ready for download and we will get them imported into Eclipse so that you can code efficiently tomorrow. Tomorrow you will implement the sequential search, which you should read about in Section 13.3 tonight. There will likely be a question about it first thing tomorrow as part of the warm-up.
