CS320 Self Evaluation Test
CS320 is an advanced programming course that requires good Java
programming skills. The sole purpose of this test is to allow you and
your instructor to evaluate whether you are sufficiently prepared for
the course. There's no "pass" or "fail" of the test, and the result of
the test will _not_ affect your enrollment status or grade in any way.
1. Create a new directory D:\Data\CS320X04 on your computer.
2. Download the text file groceries.txt,
and save it under D:\Data\CS320X04.
3. Write a Java program that reads from groceries.txt,
calculates the
total price for the groceries, and outputs the result, which should be
17.43.
4. Upload your Java program using the turnin server.
If you finish the test in
- 15 minutes, you are in good shape. Welcome to the class.
- more than half an hour but less than 45 minutes, you are
OK but your programming skill needs to be improved a bit. You may
want to review your CS202 or CS203 materials, and get more familiar
with the development tools on the lab machines.
- more than one hour, I would recommend you take the course
later when you're more proficient in Java. The decision is up to
you, but know that this is going to be a very difficult
course for you.
