Lesson 9

Extra practice: Dice

1.  Create a class DiceStat with a method
    public void printStat ()

3. Print the number of times each number was rolled
4.  Create a class DiceTest
5. Write a main method that
1. Creates a DiceStat object
2. Calls printStat
6. Run the test program and correct errors until it succeeds
7. For each result, express as a percentage, how often it is thrown
8.  Run the test program and correct errors until it succeeds

Extra practice: Factorials

A factorial (n!) is the product of all numbers less than or equal to n. Example:

3!= 3*2*1

Create an application, called factor that will print the factorial of the number given as an argument to the application:

$ java FactorTest 3
3! = 6

Lesson10

Extra practice: Quiz

1.  Create a class Quiz with keywords and definitions.You can find the keywords and definitions here.
2. Create a method with signature
    public boolean askQuestion()
1. The method asks the user to give the keyword that corresponds to a randomly chosen definition
2. The method compares the answer with the  keyword
3. The method informs the user about the correctness of the result.
4. If the answer was wrong, it shows the correct keyword
5. The method returns if the respons is correct
3. Create a class QuizTest
4. Write a main method that
1. Creates a Quiz object
2. Calls askQuestion
5. Run the test program and correct errors until it succeeds
6. Add a method with this signature
      public int askQuestions(int number) 
1. The method asks multiple questions
2. The method returns the number of correct answers
7. Call the method from the main class
8. Run the test program and correct errors until it succeeds
9. Add a method with this signature
 public boolean certify (int numberOfQuestions, int passPercentage)
1. The method prints out your score percentage.
2. The method prints out whether you passed the certification or not.
3. The method returns a boolean with the pass result.
10. Call the certify method from the main class
11. Run the test program and correct errors until it succeeds

Extra practice: Hypothenuse

The hypotenuse is the longest side in a right angled triangle. Pythagore's theorem states that the length of the hyothenuse (h) relates to the two other sides (x and y)  as:

Write a program, using that calculates the hypothenus, using java's Math class:

$ java HypothenuseTest 2 3
Hypothenuse = 3.6

Lesson 11

Extra practice: Unique object ID's

1.  Modify the Rectangle class to assign a unique ID to each object that is created.
1. Start the ID's at 1 and increment for each new object
2. Print the rectangle ID in the creation message from the constructor
2.  Run the test program and correct errors until it succeeds

Extra practice: Deck

1.  Add a Card class to the Deck project
1. Add a suit and value attribute and methods to retrieve them
2. Add a Constructor 
3. Add a method that returns the card name (e.g. queen of hearts) with signature
     public String toString(); 
2. Add a constructor to the Deck class that generates a Deck of 52 cards.
3. Modify the drawCard method to return a Card
4. After calling drawCard, print out the card name from the main method.

Extra practice: Dice constructor

1. Add a constructor to the DiceStat class that accepts the number of dies, the number of sides each dice has and the number of throws.
2. Make the Deck class generic to work with these variables.
3. Run the test program and correct errors until it succeeds

Lesson 12

Extra practice: Rectangle class hierarchy

3. Run the test program and correct errors until it succeeds
4. Make rectangle a subclass of Shape. Make a class Shape with an abstract draw method.
1. In Rectangle you can also use Refactor => extract interface
5. Make a Triangle class that extends Shape (In the interface, you can press ALT+ENTER to generate a class that implements the interface)
1. This class is a right angled triangle, with equal width and height. Example:
*
**
***
****
