Apr 5,
2006 –Unofficial
grades now posted. Use ePost to view.
(See the note posted below, dated March 14, if you are not sure how to use
ePost.) Have a good summer!
Mar 22,
2006 –Here are the
slides for chapter 12, including two at the end with the exam summary, ( chapter12.pdf ) and a zip file containing the
DemoCharFreq application and the SMS files shown in class today ( mar22.zip). Note:
The URL of the SMS corpus is given in the readme file.
Mar 15,
2006 –Here are the
notes and programs for chapters 10 and 11 ( chapter10.pdf
| chapter11.pdf | mar15.zip
). FYI, I must leave campus early
tomorrow and will not be available during my regularly-scheduled office hours.
Mar 14,
2006 – Want to
verify which labs you have successfully eCheck'd? Yes you can do this (I think!).
Just CLICK
HERE and fill in your 9-digit York ID, password, 5910, then click Display.
Mar 8,
2006 –Two things:
(i) The final exam will take place during our last regularly-scheduled class,
and it will be in the same location as the midterm; i.e.: Wednesday March 29, 9:30-12:00, ACW 205. (ii) I have finished remarking the errant
question on the Midterm exam. I decided
to accept "d" or "e" as correct answers. So, the mark
remains the same for all students except those who spotted the unintended
compile error (i.e., the space between the two equal signs in the relational
test for equality). Those students will
get an extra 2 marks. I'll bring the
exams to class next. Or, you can pick
them up beforehand during my office hours.

2006 – Note: the
course evaluation will take place near the end of class on Wednesday, March 22.
Feb 20,
2006 – The midterm
exam is now prepared. The exam consists
of short answer questions (23 points) and two programming questions (26
points). Each programming question
requires you to write a short java program (2-3 dozen lines of code).
Feb 10,
2006 – Two
important announcements: (1) I have secured a bigger room for the
midterm. It will take place in ACW 205. (That’s one of the Fine Arts buildings,
called Accolade West. Have a look at York Maps, if you don’t know
where it is. (2) The midterm exam will start at 9:45
a.m., rather than 9:30.
Feb 8,
2006 – Here are the
notes and programs presented in class today ( chapter07.pdf
| chapter08.pdf | feb08.zip
). Please make sure you check the
course web site prior to showing up for the midterm exam two weeks from
today. I am trying to book a bigger
room. I’ll post the information here
when available.
Feb 1,
2006 – Concerning
the issue that arose in class today – why s.equals(c) does not generate a compile error
(assuming s is a String and c is a char) – this is a development of Java
1.5 known as “boxing”. See the course
text on page 228 for further details.

2006 – Note: the eCheck URL below is RED and
BOLD. Look carefully. It is different
from the URL that appears by default when you run the Options command. Also, here are the notes (chapter03.pdf)
and programs (jan18.zip) presented in class today. Make sure you take a few minutes to do the
programming challenge given on the last slide.
Finally, here is the URL for the Java API on Sun’s web site (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/index.html).
Jan 13,
2006 – FYI, all
systems are go! The eCheck server is working and several
students have successfully eCheck’d the first few exercises.
Nothing due this weekend, though.
The first deadline is Jan 22.
Jan 11,
2006 – Here are the
notes ( chapter01.pdf | chapter02.pdf
) and programs (jan11.zip) presented in class today.
Jan 10,
2006 – One thing we
will be focusing on beginning tomorrow is the process of eChecking labs. The general ideas are espoused in Lab 2
(e.g., installing the latest type.jar file on your home computer in Java's jre/lib/ext directory). You also need to configure your eCheck programs by running the java Options command, as explained in the
book. When doing this, there are three
pieces of information you need to provide:
Login
ID = The 9-digit York ID
Password
= provided by the instructor
eCheck URL = http://www.cse.yorku.ca/~roumani/type/ec/5910.cgi
For your
password, you will need to get this from me.
Please send me an email (mack@cs.yorku.ca) and I’ll provide it.
Jan 4,
2006 – Sorry I couldn’t
be at the class today. I am out of the
country until next week. About the
eChecks… nothing is due this Sunday.
I’ll discuss the eChecks in more detail in class next week. In the mean time, please try to get the text
and read the first two chapters.
