CST8116 Lab Exam 02 Section 311

Lab Exam 2

Instructions - Overview
 Follow the instructions starting on page 2 of this handout to design a problem solution, create a Java program, and
test your program. Documenting each part using an MS Word document.
 This exam must be completed and submitted by the end of your lab period.
 Note: Each lab section will be given a unique problem statement to help detect cheating.

Instructions – Submission Notes

 Upload your MS Word document, as well as your Java source code files (.java files) to Brightspace by the end of the
lab period.
 You are not required to copy source code into your MS Word file, however your .java file(s) must be uploaded.
 Your lab professor may specify additional submission requirements in the lab period.

Instructions – Open Book Exam

 This is an open book lab exam; you may use your textbooks, lecture notes, exercises, assignments, hybrids for help.
 You are not permitted to talk to, or chat with other students during the lab exam.
 You are not permitted to talk about, or share materials from, your lab exam, with students in other lab sections.

Instructions – Appropriate Use of Zoom during Exam

 To get help from the professor raise your hand (virtually) using Zoom, or send a private chat to your professor. Your
professor will assign you to a break out room where they can join and then help you (verbally talk and or you may
share your screen).
 Please, do not un-mute your microphone and verbally ask questions in the main Zoom session, it is disruptive to
other students.

From Lab Exam 1 (Reference and Starter Code)
 In Lab Exam 1 you would have created the following class (or similar), a starting code file to be used is provided.
 Length is in centimeters, litresPerCm is litres per centimeter.
AquariumFish
-fishLength:double
-litresPerCm:double
+AquariumFish()
+getFishLength():double
+setFishLength(fishLength:double):void
+getLitresPerCm():double
+setLitresPerCm(litresPerCm:double):void
+calculateLitresNeeded():double

Lab Exam 2 Tasks

Part 1 Pseudocode
 Write the Pseudocode for a main method that would perform the following tasks, you will need to use a
repetition structure (a loop), and a selection structure (if or case) and some constants.

A client would like a menu-driven application that runs until an exit-AquariumFish option is selected. The other
two menu choices should be edit- AquariumFish and print- AquariumFish. If edit is selected, the fields should be
updated by interacting with the user to get values and setting them into the object. If print is selected, the result
of calculateLitresNeeded() method should be displayed. If exit is selected, a message, “program exits” is output
and the program shuts down. If any other number is entered as a menu choice, the program should display a
message “invalid menu input” and then continue running.

 Output the menu options directly in method main, each time the loop repeats, with your full name.
 Use the following constants inside method main for forming the menu outputs, as well as for the logic of the
program
EDIT_AQUARIUM_FISH with value 1
PRINT_AQUARIUM_FISH with value 2
EXIT_AQUARIUM_FISH with value 3

 You are not required to validate inputs from the user that would crash the program. Assume that the user will
only enter numbers with the correct data-type as needed for demonstrating the running program.

Part 2 Write the Java code for the class

 Create an Eclipse Project named FullName_LabExam2_SectionNumber
o For example, a student with first name “Abc” and last name “Xyz” in section 123 would name the project as:
AbcXyz_LabExam2_Section123

 Create a class with method main. Name the class as FullNameLabExam2SectionNumber

o For example, a student with first name “Abc” and last name “Xyz” in section 123 would name the class as:
AbcXyzLabExam2Section123, with resulting file name AbcXyzLabExam2Section123.java

 Using this class with a method main, follow your pseudocode to create the working program.
 Use Java coding conventions for identifiers: class, constructor, field, variable, and method names
 Comment your code for this file only, as requested and demonstrated in the course.

Part 3 Test the Program with Screen Shot(s)
 Use the following test actions in creating screen shots of your running program; you may demonstrate more than
one test in a single screen shot.
o Option for editing the fields input, with input for each field.
o Option for printing report input, with output displayed
o Invalid option for exit program, output message and program should continue
o Option for exit program.
 See the sample run of the program as reference.
