First off we'll review yesterday's review of Test 4 Problem 3 by writing down the answer on a paper that may serve as notes on the next test. Then in small groups we will rearrange the code to Problem 4 until is makes at least syntactic sense. We'll discuss the semantics together since the code and data structure are fairly complex.
This week's new topic is searching, so we'll search through a physical deck of cards sequentially. Then we'll take out Eclipse and attempt the same, virtually, with a List<Integer>.
The List in question is not a class, but rather an interface. So too are both Comparable and Comparator which you will soon read about. It's high time to discuss interfaces, so the reading for tomorrow is Chapter 11, Section 7, which covers that very topic.
On the review project, please have a good outline complete by Friday rather than the entire paper or presentation. That part will be stretched to the next Friday. The calendar has been changed accordingly to include an outline draft.
