Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for CSC108 Assignment 2

• 23/1/02: The handout says we should complete five methods in Diver.java, but I see nine that need completing.

  Answer: The handout should say nine methods must be completed in Diver.java.

• 23/1/02: There is a method we aren't allowed to change in Diver.java called toString(), but I never see this method used in TestDiver.java. Is this method ever tested?

  Answer: Whenever a Diver object is used in a String context --- for example, inside the parentheses of System.out.println(...), the toString() method is called. So System.out.println(d1) is exactly the same as System.out.println(d1.toString()).

• 17/1/02: How can I write a method to make this diver wet if I don't even know what to call the method or what sort of parameters to give it?

  Answer: By reading TestDiver.java you'll get an indication of how the structure of a method to get a diver wet must look.
