Quiz 03

Quiz 03



Important notes:
  1. Do not start until you are instructed to do so!
  2. We suggest you do not use your browser's zoom feature. Instead...
  3. You will have 20 minutes once the proctor says to start.
  4. You will have brief additional time after we stop to scan and submit your solutions.

  5. Just before the quiz...
    1. Have a fully-charged smartphone and laptop, and still plug both in if possible
    2. Log into Gradescope on your phone
    3. Change the screen timeout setting on your phone to never, so your screen doesn't go black if you don't interact with your screen for a while.
      • iPhones: Settings / Display & Brightness / Auto-Lock / Never
      • Android: Settings / Display / Screen timeout / 10 minutes (or the maximum amount of time)
    4. Turn on Do Not Disturb (or otherwise turn off all notifications).
    5. Position your webcam so we can see:
      • Your desk
      • The paper you are working on
      • Your writing utensil(s)
      • Both of your hands
      • Your phone

  6. During the quiz:
    1. You may not ask questions during the exam.
      • If you are unsure how to interpret a problem, take your best guess.
      • If you feel a question is unfair because you could not ask a question about it, please email the instructor after the quiz and describe your concern. (We are working hard to make the questions extra clear this year, but we want to know when we fail.)
    2. You may not touch your laptop or webcam.
      • This includes muting yourself at any point; the proctors may mute you though.
    3. All of these must be visible at all times:
      • Your desk
      • The paper you are working on
      • Your writing utensil(s)
      • Both of your hands
      • Your phone, with the quiz webpage
    4. For any tech fails (laptop or internet stops working, etc.):
      1. Stop taking the quiz
      2. Email the instructor (rileyrd@cmu.edu) right away
      3. We will reply soon to set up a 1-on-1 oral quiz with the course faculty

  7. After the quiz:
    1. Follow all proctor instructions on how to end the quiz.
    2. If you finish early, wait patiently until the end of the quiz. (Note: Don't use your phone...)
    3. Keep everything in view (as noted above) until the proctor calls "time".
    4. When instructed, use your phone to scan your quiz and submit the PDF to Gradescope.
    5. After submitting to Gradescope, hold your phone up to the webcam to show the receipt.
    6. Even then, remain in quiz mode until the proctor calls "all clear"

Background Information For All Questions

Consider the following class, which is somewhat inspired by the homework:

public class DoubleBox {
    // An array to store doubles
    private double[] arr;
    // The total number of doubles actually stored in arr
    private int numDoubles;

    public DoubleBox() {
        this.arr = new double[10];
        this.numDoubles = 0;
    }

    // The append method (Part A) will go here

    // The sum method (Part B) will go here

    // The new constructor (Part C) will go here

    // A main method (Part D) will go here
}

1. Append Method [5 pts]

Write a new method for the DoubleBox class: append. It is described below.

/**
 * The append method.
 * 
 * Append a given double onto the end of arr. If arr is already full, then do
 * nothing. The numDoubles instance variable should be updated accordingly.
 * 
 * @param val The double to append.
 * @return true if a value is appended and false otherwise.
 */

2. Sum Method [5 pts]

Write a new method for the DoubleBox class: sum. It is described below.

/**
 * The sum method.
 *  
 * @return The sum of the relevant items in arr.
 */

3. New Constructor [5 pts]

Write another constructor for the DoubleBox class. It is described below.

/**
 * This constructor should allocate the instance variable arr to be twice as
 * large as the argument inp and then place each and every double from inp into
 * arr. The numDoubles instance variable should be updated appropriately.
 * 
 * @param inp An array of doubles to be added to arr.
 */

4. main For Testing [5 pts]

Now let’s partially test our class. Write a main method for the DoubleBox class that does the following:
