WED	the Seating class
FRI	Review for midterm

WEEK 8

OCT 31

MON	October 31 - Lab at 2 p.m and Midterm at 6:15 p.m. Get there early enough to give yourself time to get settled. Test the Vector Lab with the vector test class
TUES	the Seating class, the ShowCalendar class which specifies the performance dates, and the ShowSeatingSystem class which manages sales for show seating for all performances in a 2-dimensional array of Seating objects
WED	We started string methods in the StringMethods class. Quiz 2 retest in class - you MUST take this for a mark

READ:	to the end of CHAPTER 9 - Strings

WEEK 9

NOV 7

TUES	More String methods - using substring(), Integer.parseInt(), and an itroduction to recursion.
WED	Preliminary dicussion of the Tower of Hanoi problem, and converting Euclid's algorithm for GCD to code. We also looked at a recursive algorithm for calculating Fibonacci numbers and determined that it is not efficient to use recursion for this. Why?
FRI	We reviewed the Tower of Hanoi algorithm in detail, and looked at recursion and backtracking using the Maze Class. We coded walking the maze in class.
