• To complete this lab, it is strictly forbidden for you to use arrays or any library class
(e.g., ArrayList). Violating this requirement will cause a 50% penalty on your lab marks.
• Starting from this lab, you will be graded not only by JUnit tests given to you, but also
additional tests covering some other input values. This is to encourage you to take more
responsibility for the correctness of your code, by writing your own tests.
Your lab assignment is not graded during the weekly scheduled lab sessions.
• Follow the instructions to submit (via eClass) the required file(s) for grading.
Emailing your solutions to the instructor or TAs will not be acceptable.
• Texts in blue are hyperlinks to the corresponding documents/recordings.
Policies
• Your (submitted or un-submitted) solution to this lab exercise (which is not revealed to the
public) remains the property of the EECS department. Do not distribute or share your code
in any public media (e.g., a non-private Github repository) in any way, shape, or form. The
department reserves the right to take necessary actions upon found violations of this policy.
• When you submit your lab, you claim that it is solely your work. Therefore, it is considered as a violation of
academic integrity if you copy or share any parts of your Java code during any stages of your development.
• When assessing your submission, the instructor and TA may examine your code, and suspicious submissions
will be reported to the department if necessary. We do not tolerate academic dishonesty, so please obey
this policy strictly.
• You are entirely responsible for making your submission to the TA in time. Back up your work periodically,
so as to minimize the damage should any sort of computer failures occur. Follow this tutorial series on
setting up a private Github repository for your Java projects.
• The deadline is strict with no excuses. Refer to the course syllabus for the policy on a late submission.

Learning Outcomes
By completing the assigned exercises of this lab, you are expected to be able to:
1. Exercise a simple workflow of Github.
2. In the Eclipse IDE (Integrated Development Environment):
• Import a starter project archive file.
• Given a computational problem, develop a Java solution (i.e., a utility method) composed of:
– Numerical Literals and operators
– String Literals and operators
– Variables and assignments
– (Nested) Selections/Conditionals/If-Statements
– Simple Loops (for-loop vs. while-loop)
• Run a Java class with with the main method as a console Java application.
• Use the given JUnit tests (calling the utility methods) to guide the development.
• Use the debugger features (step over/into/out/return) to find defects in programs.
• Export an existing project as an archive file.
3. Understand the separation of concerns (using packages): model, console apps, and junit tests.
2
Assumptions
• You have already setup a Github account and stored work in a private repository: EECS1022-W21-workspace.
Note. You only submit your lab through eClass, not Github. Though not required, it is highly recommended
that you adapt to the practice of backing your work using a versioning tool like Github.
• You are able to use Eclipse to complete the tutorial videos and this lab assignment on either your own machine
or the EECS remote labs.
Note. The starter project was created using Eclipse and an Eclipse project archive file is expected to be
submitted. Therefore, you may not want to use other IDE such as IntelliJ.
Requirements of this Lab
• Starting from this lab, you will be graded not only by JUnit tests given to you, but also additional tests
covering some other input values. This is to encourage you to take more responsibility for the correctness of
your code, by writing your own tests.
• To complete this lab, it is strictly forbidden for you to use arrays or any library class (e.g., ArrayList).
Violating this requirement will cause a 50% penalty on your lab marks.
• The grading of your lab will start by automatically unzipping the submitted Java project archive file (.zip)
and extracting the required class(es). It is therefore crucial for you to follow precisely the spelling of the
archive file name. Penalty will be taken if the grading cannot proceed due to carelessness on following the
instructions in Section 2.3.
• Your lab submission will only be graded using JUnit (for this lab, the tests supplied to you plus some
additional tests). That is, your lab submission will not be graded manually using the console application
given to you.
• For the JUnit test class TestUtilities.java given to you:
– Do not modify the test methods given to you.
– You are allowed to add new nest methods.
• Do not modify the console application class (in package console apps) given to you.
• For each utility method in the Utilities class that you are assigned to implement, as discussed in Part F
of Week 1’s Java tutorial videos:
– No System.out.println statements should appear in each of the utility method.
Instead, an explicit, final return statement is placed for you.
– No Scanner operations (e.g., input.nextInt()) should appear in each of the utility method.
Instead, refer to the input parameters of the method.
• You are welcome to ask questions related to this lab or the assigned tutorial videos on the forum. However,
please be cautious:
– You can help your fellow students understand the requirements of tasks.
– Do not share the code you developed to ask, or to answer, questions.
∗ Questions specific to the code you write would be best and most effectively addressed by TAs (during
scheduled labs) or your instructor (during office hours or appointments).
∗ Week 2’s tutorial videos (Parts C to E) introduce to you debugger in Eclipse. You are encouraged
to set breakpoints and launch the debugger when you are stuck at your own program.
– Hints on how the solution should look like are left only to the instructors who moderate the forum.

1 Task 1: Complete Weekly Java Tutorial Videos
• For Lab3, you are assigned to study Week 4 Part A to Part E of the Java tutorial series:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5dxAmCmjv_4yEdqdvaQH4LppQvGstofS [ Week 4 only ]
To reference tutorial videos from the previous weeks, see:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5dxAmCmjv_6wy2m0yq2wObIWPz4tAxW6 [ All Weeks ]
These Java tutorial videos assigned to you are meant for you to:
1. Obtain extra hands-on programming experience on Java, supplementing your weekly lectures.
2. Complete the lab assignment with the necessary skills and background.
Though we do not require the submission of the weekly Java tutorial project (like in Lab0), examples and
insights discussed in these tutorials will be covered in your (written and programming) tests
and exam: should you decide to skip the weekly tutorial videos, it would be your choice.
As you study through the example Java classes in the tutorial videos, you are advised to type them out
(but absolutely feel free to add new Java classes to experiment) on Eclipse.
• You can find the iPad notes of illustrations from the tutorial videos here:
https://www.eecs.yorku.ca/˜jackie/teaching/tutorials/notes/EECS1022%20Tutorial%20on%20Java.pdf

2 Task 2: Complete Programming Exercises
Starting Task 2 should mean that you have already completed the weekly Java tutorial videos (Section 1).
2.1 Step 1: Download and Import the Starter Project
1. Download the Eclipse Java project archive file from eClass: EECS1022 W21 Lab3.zip
2. Launch Eclipse and browse to EECS1022-W21-workspace as the Workspace then click on Launch, e.g.,
3. In Eclipse:
3.1 Choose File, then Import. 3.2 Under General, choose Existing Projects into Workspace.
3.3 Choose Select archive file. Make sure that the EECS1022 W21 Lab3 box is checked under Projects.
Then Finish.
5
2.2 Step 2: Programming Tasks
From the Package Explorer of Eclipse, your imported project has the following structure.
• You can manually test the assigned methods using the corresponding console application classes in package
console apps. These classes are completed and given to you. See below for more descriptions.
• Your goal is to pass all JUnit tests given to you (i.e., a green bar). To run them, as shown in the Java
tutorials on Week 1, right click on TestUtilities.java and run it as JUnit tests. Of course, none of the
given tests would pass to begin with.
You must not modify these given JUnit tests.
How to Deal with a Failed JUnit Test? From the JUnit panel from Eclipse, click on the failed test, then
double click on the first line underneath Failure Trace, then you can see the expected value versus the return
value from your utility method.

2.2.1 Method to Implement: getNumbers
Problem. You are asked to implement a utility method which takes two integer bounds (lower and upper ) and
returns a string consisting of all numbers between the two bounds, inclusively.
Requirement. It is strictly forbidden for you to use arrays or any library class (e.g., ArrayList). Violating
this requirement will cause a 50% penalty on your lab marks.
Testing. Your goal is to pass all tests related to this method in the JUnit test class TestUtilities. These tests
document the expected values on various cases: study them while developing your code. However, use
the console application class GetSequenceApp if you wish (e.g., use the input and expected values from the JUnit
tests). Here are two example runs:
• Enter an integer lower bound:
88
Enter an integer upper bound:
88
1 number between 88 and 88: <[88]>
• Enter an integer lower bound:
23
Enter an integer upper bound:
28
6 numbers between 23 and 28: <{23}, (24), [25], {26}, (27), [28]>
Todo. Implement the Utilities.getNumbers method. See the comments there for the input parameters and
requirements. The String return value must conform to the expected format:
• There are two possible errors: 1) when not both bounds are non-negative (≥ 0); and 2) when the lower bound
is not less than or equal to the upper bound.
What if both error conditions hold simultaneously (e.g., lower 5 and upper -3, lower -3 and upper -5)?
In this case, error condition 1) takes the priority. That is, error condition 2) should only be checked when
condition 1) is not the case (i.e., both bounds are non-negative). See the JUnit tests.
• Notice that the second word in the output may be either singular (number) or plural (numbers, when there
are more than one numbers in the sequence).
• Each number in the sequence is wrapped differently: wrapped by round parentheses if the number is a multiple
of 3 (e.g., (24)); wrapped by square brackets if the number is some multiple of 3 plus one (e.g., [25]); and
wrapped by a pair of curly braces if the number is some multiple of 3 plus two (e.g., {26}).
• All wrapped numbers are separated by commas (,). There is one space after each comma.
7
2.2.2 Method to Implement: getIntermediateStats
Problem. You are asked to implement a utility method which takes as inputs the first term (f t), common
difference (d), and size (n) of an arithmetic sequence. Based on these three input values, the corresponding
arithmetic sequence (of n terms) is:
ht1, t2, t3, . . . , tni where ti = f t + (i − 1) · d and 1 ≤ i ≤ n
The utility method should return a string value containing the following equal-sized sequence of statistical items:
hs1, s2, s3, . . . , sni
where each statistical item si (1 ≤ i ≤ n) reports the sum and average of the sub-sequence ht1, . . . , tii (of size i).
For example, the statistical item s3 reports the sum and average of the sub-sequence ht1, t2, t3i (which, of course,
is just a smaller arithmetic sequence).
Requirement. It is strictly forbidden for you to use arrays or any library class (e.g., ArrayList). Violating
this requirement will cause a 50% penalty on your lab marks.
Testing. Your goal is to pass all tests related to this method in the JUnit test class TestUtilities. These tests
document the expected values on various cases: study them while developing your code. However,
use the console application class GetIntermediateStatsApp if you wish (e.g., use the input and expected values
from the JUnit tests). Here is an example run:
Enter the first integer term of an arithmetic sequence:
23
Enter the common difference of the sequence:
11
Enter the size of the sequence:
2
{[sum of <23>: 23 ; avg of <23>: 23.00], [sum of <23, 34>: 57 ; avg of <23, 34>: 28.50]}
Todo. Implement the Utilities.getIntermediateStats method. See the comments there for the input parameters and requirements. The String return value must conform to the expected format:
• All statistical terms are wrapped within curly braces ({}) and separated by commas (,).
• Each statistical term is wrapped within square brackets ([]) and reports the sum and average of the corresponding sub-subsequence.
• Each sum is an integer and each average should be formatted as a floating-point number with 2 digits after
the decimal point, using String.format(%.2f, someNumber).
• In the above example, the arithmetic sequence implied by the three input values (23, 11, and 2) is h23, 34i,
and the output string contains the statistical items for the two sub-sequences: h23i and h23, 34i.
• As a slightly longer example, consider the statistical terms that should be included in the output string by
input values 23 (first term), 11 (common difference), and 5 (size):
[sum of <23>: 23 ; avg of <23>: 23.00]
[sum of <23, 34>: 57 ; avg of <23, 34>: 28.50]
[sum of <23, 34, 45>: 102 ; avg of <23, 34, 45>: 34.00]
[sum of <23, 34, 45, 56>: 158 ; avg of <23, 34, 45, 56>: 39.50]
[sum of <23, 34, 45, 56, 67>: 225 ; avg of <23, 34, 45, 56, 67>: 45.00]
All five statistical items above should be wrapped within curly braces ({}) and separated by commas (,).
• There is one space before and after the semicolon (;).
• There is one space after each comma (,) and colon (:).

2.2.3 Method to Implement: getInterlevaings
Problem. You are asked to implement a utility method which takes as inputs the first terms (f1, f2), common
differences (d1, d2), and sizes (n1, and n2) of two arithmetic sequences. The utility method should return a string
value containing a new sequence interleaving items drawn from the two arithmetic sequences. The interleaving
starts from an item drawn from the first sequence, if it is not empty. For example, consider two arithmetic sequences
with the same length: h3, 8i and h11, 4i. Their interleaving is then h3, 11, 8, 4i, where the 1st and 3rd items are
drawn from the first arithmetic sequence, and the 2nd and 4th items are drawn from the second arithmetic sequence.
In general, your implementation of the utility method should consider when the two arithmetic sequences are
of different lengths (in which case the last items in the interleaving should be drawn from the longer arithmetic
sequence).
Requirement. It is strictly forbidden for you to use arrays or any library class (e.g., ArrayList). Violating
this requirement will cause a 50% penalty on your lab marks.
Testing. Your goal is to pass all tests related to this method in the JUnit test class TestUtilities. These tests
document the expected values on various cases: study them while developing your code. However,
use the console application class GetInterleavingsApp if you wish (e.g., use the input and expected values from
the JUnit tests). Here are two example runs:
• Enter the first integer term of arithmetic sequence 1:
3
Enter the common difference of the sequence:
5
Enter the size of the sequence:
2
Enter the first integer term of arithmetic sequence 2:
11
Enter the common difference of the sequence:
-7
Enter the size of the sequence:
2
<(3), [11], (8), [4]>
• Enter the first integer term of arithmetic sequence 1:
3
Enter the common difference of the sequence:
5
Enter the size of the sequence:
1
Enter the first integer term of arithmetic sequence 2:
11
Enter the common difference of the sequence:
-7
Enter the size of the sequence:
3
<(3), [11], [4], [-3]>
Todo. Implement the Utilities.getInterlevaings method. See the comments there for the input parameters
and requirements. The String return value must conform to the expected format:
• All interleaved items should be wrapped within angle brackets (<>) and separated by commas (,). There is
one space after each comma.
• Items drawing from the first arithmetic sequence should be wrapped within round parentheses (e.g., (3)).
• Items drawing from the second arithmetic sequence should be wrapped within square brackets (e.g., [11]).

2.3 Step 3: Exporting the Completed Project
You are required to submit a Java project archive file (.zip) consisting all subfolders.
In Eclipse:
1. Right click on project EECS1022 W21 Lab3. 2. Under General, choose Archive File.
Then click Export
3. Check the top-level EECS1022 W21 Lab3
Make sure that all subfolders are checked: .settings, bin, and src.
Under To archive file: browse to, e.g., desktop, and save it as EECS1022 W21 Lab3.zip (case-sensitive)
Then Finish.
Note. In case you have concerns about exporting and submitting the .setting subfolder: it will be kept
confidential and access-protected on eClass.
10
3 Submission
1. Before you submit, you must make sure that the Problems panel on your Eclipse shows no errors (warnings
are acceptable). In case you do not see the Problems panel: click on Window, then Show View, then Problems.
Submitting programs with errors (meaning that it cannot be run for grading) will result in
possible partial, but low, marks.
2. Section 2.3 asks you to export the Java project as an archive file:
EECS1022 W21 Lab3.zip
Before you submit, verify that its unzipped version has the following structure:
Figure 1: Lab3 Expected Project Structure
3. Go to the eClass site for Sections M,N,O: https://eclass.yorku.ca/eclass/course/view.php?id=6214
4. Under the Lab Submissions section, click on Lab3 to submit the Java archive file: EECS1022 W21 Lab3.zip
• You may upload as many draft versions as you like before the deadline.
• You must explicitly submit the draft version for grading before the deadline.
• Once you click on the submit button, you can no longer upload another draft version.
