KXO151 Programming & Problem Solving
AIEN-SOU - 2019
Assignment 2
Deadline for Submission: 10pm (Shanghai) Friday, Week 9, 26 April, 2019
Maximum Marks Available: 15 (15% of the total assessment for KXO151)
Submission: Via MyLO
NOTE: All assignments will be checked for plagiarism by a specialist Java program that checks
your assignment against other student’s assignments as well as the Internet (including help
sites). For more information see:
www.ics.heacademy.ac.uk/resources/assessment/plagiarism/demo_jplag.html
Assignment Type: Individual
Requirements:
PLEASE NOTE: This assignment is to be completed by Students individually. If you need help, please
look at the textbook or ask your lecturer. Students who have been working through the tutorial
exercises should not have much difficulty in completing this assignment.
PLEASE NOTE: The submitted Java code must be able to be compiled from the command line using
Javac the Java programming language compiler command, or from a basic editor such as jGrasp. Be
aware that development programs such as Eclipse often use features only available when run using
their system, meaning that their code may not run on a system without their development program.
Programs that do not run from the command line using javac (to compile) and java (to run) because
of a missing development program feature will fail the assignment.
You are required to perform the following tasks:
Write a Java application program named Asst2.java which correctly implements some calculations
associated with a calendar. The details (specifications) of this task are given below. Note that the
correctness marks you receive for your program will depend on how well it matches this
specification. If you decide to implement something that is more elaborate than specified, you
should understand that:
There will be no marks awarded for the elaborations you have designed and penalties may
be applied for confusing/extraneous code.
Your program MUST STILL meet the basic specifications given below.
Background Information
Consider a calendar - for example:
(Go to next page)
KXO151 - AIEN-SOU – Assignment 2 - 2019
Page 2 of 9
A calendar displayed like this has many interesting properties. One of them forms the basis for this
assignment.
If you take any four dates that form a square - for example:
or
It is possible to work out which dates are in the square from a single piece of information: the total
of the dates in the square. The formula for this (for a calendar laid out with 7 days to the week) is as
follows:
get the total of the dates
divide this number by 4 (if the addition has been done correctly, it will divide evenly)
subtract 4 from this answer - this gives the earliest date in the square (the upper left hand
corner)
add one to the earliest date to get the date in the upper right hand corner
add 7 to this to get the date in the lower left hand corner
add 8 to this to get the date in the lower right hand corner
Work through these examples to convince yourself that this works. You are to write a program that
invites the user to enter a total (worked out by them from a calendar), and tells them the four dates
that they added together.
Notice that since the earliest date in any month is 1 and the latest possible date is 31 - there will be
a smallest and a largest possible total - work out what these are. For this assignment, you may
assume that all months have 31 days.
Functionality Required
Explain (very briefly) to the user what they are to do.
Ask the user to enter the name of the month they are looking at. (There is no need to check
that what they enter is really the name of a month.)
Accept a total from the user (this will be an integer).
If the user enters a total that is too small or too big, tell them this and end the program. You
may assume here that all months have 31 days.
Otherwise:
o work out the abbreviation for the month
o work out the four dates they must have added together
o show the user the abbreviation of the month in UPPERCASE letters
KXO151 - AIEN-SOU – Assignment 2 - 2019
Page 3 of 9
o show the user the four dates they must have added together (each one on a new
line) and end the program.
NOTE: If the user enters "impossible" values then display the message of “That is outside
the range of possible numbers”.
A sample output of the program is attached to the end of this document.
Program Style
The program you write for this assignment must be a single class called Asst2 with the code in a file
called Asst2.java. There should be a single method (the main() method) in this class.
Your program should follow the coding conventions introduced in this unit and shown in the
textbook, especially:
Variable identifiers should start with a lower case letter
Final variable identifiers should be written all in upper case and should be declared before
all other variables
Every if-else statement should have a block of code for both the if part and the else part (if
used)
Every loop should have a block of code (if used)
The program should use final variables as much as possible
The keyword continue should not be used
The keyword break should only be used as part of a switch statement (if required)
Opening and closing braces of a block should be aligned

KXO151留学生作业代做、代写Via MyLO作业、代写Java实验作业
All code within a block should be aligned and indented 1 tab stop (approximately 4 spaces)
from the braces marking this block
Commenting:
There should be a block of header comment which includes at least
o file name
o your name (in pinyin)
o student UTas id number
o a statement of the purpose of the program
Each variable declaration should be commented.
There should be a comment identifying groups of statements that do various parts of the
task.
There should not be a comment stating what every (or nearly every) line of the code does -
as in:
num1 = num1 + 1; // add 1 to num1
Save the Output
Run your program entering data via the keyboard and save the output of your program to a text file
using your UTas student id number as the name of the file, for example, 159900.txt (in jGrasp, right
mouse-click in the ‘Run I/O’ window and select ‘Save As Text File’).

Important Notes:
Changing a few variable names, adding different data and / or adding your name to the top
of someone else’s code does not make it your own work. See the section on ‘Plagiarism’
below.
You need to submit 2 files: your Asst2.java
o a text file containing the output of your program using your UTas id number as the
name of the file, for example, 159900.txt.
o See the section on ‘Submission’ below for more information.
Before you submit your assignment through the KXO151 MyLO website, it is suggested that
you make sure the final version of your Java program file compiles and runs as expected –
do not change the names of the java file – submit it exactly as you last compiled and ran it.
Programs that do not compile and / or run will fail the assignment. If in doubt, you can
click on the submitted files, download them from MyLO, and check that they are the files
you think they should be.
NOTE: The higher marks are reserved for solutions that are highly distinguished from the rest and
show an understanding and ability to program using Java that is well above the average.

Note The High Distinction grade is reserved for solutions that fully meet the requirements & are highly distinguished from
other assignments by their high quality work & their attention to detail (usually only 10% of students).
PLEASE NOTE: The assignment will receive a single composite mark. The assignment will be
accessed from the point of view of the requirements: “Does it meet the requirements, and how well
does it do it?” Where there is some inconsistency in that the work does not completely match every
sub-criteria within a particular criteria, then the grade reflects the value of the work ‘on average’.
Submission:
Your completed solution (your Asst2.java file, plus a text file containing the output of your
program using your UTas id number as the name of the file, for example, 159900.txt) must be
submitted by the deadline. Assignments must be submitted electronically via KXO151 MyLO
website as files that can be read by a text editor such as Microsoft Notepad (submit the *.java file -
not the *.class file). Follow the following steps to create a package for your assignment files and
then submit your package file:
1. On your computer desktop, create a new folder using your name and UTAS ID number. For
example, if you name is Jianwen CHEN and your UTAS ID number is 159900, then the new folder
must be named Chen_Jianwen_159900;
2. Copy your 2 assignment files into the new folder;
3. Use the WinRAR application to compress the new folder and name it as *.rar. For example,
Jianwen CHEN would name it as Chen_Jianwen_159900.rar.
4. Submit your *.rar file to the unit MyLO “Assignments” folder.
Details of the actual submission procedure are available through the MyLO webpages.

Plagiarism
While students are encouraged to discuss the assignments in this unit and to engage in active
learning from each other, it is important that they are also aware of the University’s policy on
plagiarism. Plagiarism is taking and using someone else's thoughts, writings or inventions and
representing them as your own; for example downloading an essay wholly or in part from the
internet, copying another student’s work or using an author’s words or ideas without citing the
source.
It is important that you understand this statement on plagiarism. Should you require clarification
please see your unit coordinator or lecturer. Useful resources on academic integrity, including
what it is and how to maintain it, are also available at: www.academicintegrity.utas.edu.au/.
Acknowledgement

written by Dr Dean Steer.
Plagiarism is a form of cheating. It is taking and using someone else's thoughts,
writings or inventions and representing them as your own; for example, using an
author's words without putting them in quotation marks and citing the source, using
an author's ideas without proper acknowledgment and citation or copying another
student’s work.
If you have any doubts about how to refer to the work of others in your assignments,
please consult your lecturer or tutor for relevant referencing guidelines, and the
academic integrity resources on the web at: www.academicintegrity.utas.edu.au/.
The intentional copying of someone else’s work as one’s own is a serious offence
punishable by penalties that may range from a fine or deduction/cancellation of marks
and, in the most serious of cases, to exclusion from a unit, a course or the University.
Details of penalties that can be imposed are available in the Ordinance of Student
Discipline – Part 3 Academic Misconduct, see:
www.utas.edu.au/universitycouncil/legislation/
