Goals:

• be able to write Java expressions for mathematical formulas.
• understand procedural abstraction, formal parameters, actual parameters, and return values.
• be able to define procedures that describe simple computations.
• understand naming abstraction, and the difference between a name and a value.

Before starting:

• Read over the entire lab.
• Browse the documentation , particularly the description of MyGruntWork .
• Before beginning the assignment, download the provided portions of the lab into your cs101 folder by clicking on the "download project" button in the on-line version of this assignment.
• Run the sample solution.
• You will probably want to read the Math class documentation.
• Check out resources for units conversion

Assignment:

1. Begin by opening the MyGruntWork.java file in Emacs. (When you choose "Open File..." from the Files menu, a message will appear at the bottom of the screen asking which file you wish to open. Please see a TA if you need assistance.) Supply the necessary header information (name, lab section, etc.). This is the only file you are allowed to modify for this lab. Look over the file carefully before modifying it! Please note the following:
   • There is a place for each of your methods in the file. All you need to do is fill in the code where it says "Delete this line and replace it with the correct code". We declare each of the methods properly for you; you do not need to worry about method declarations, just their bodies.
   • Sometimes there are partial implementations that tell you important hints about how to accomplish some of the requirements. Please delete any code which does not end up being a part of your solution, especially if we have marked it for deletion! The code is there to illustrate how to do things in Java; it is not meant to serve as part of your solution unless it is explicitly stated as such.

   The JavaDoc (documentation) for this lab details the input parameters and return values that each method should compute.

   Hint: To avoid making the same mistakes over and over, test very frequently as you go. That is, type in the body of a procedure, compile, execute, and verify the results, and then go on to the next problem.  After you get the hang of it, you can write more code before you test.  Detailed instructions for running your program are listed below.

2. Execute your program by opening Lab1.java (in the same folder as MyGruntWork.java) and compiling it (choose "Compile" under the "JDE" menu). After the compile has finished successfully (you will see a message saying so), you may run the program by choosing "Run App" from the "JDE" menu.
   
   You should see a calculator interface. Fully test each method to ensure the high-tech CS101 Calculator is ready to be released.

What To Turn In:

For every CS101 lab you turn in, you should fill in a cover sheet and staple it on the front of your lab. Attach a paper printout of the following:

1. your MyGruntWork.java file containing the methods you wrote

If you need help printing, ask a TA or refer to the help homepage, which has detailed instructions for how to print from the labs.
