ITEC 120 lab

ITEC 120 LAB 5

This lab is made up of 2 completely different parts. First, you will electronically submit a file the same way you will submit your lab quiz Fri. Then, you'll write a program for lab5.

PART 1 - Submit a file electronically - Do this in the first 30 minutes of the lab!!!

In order to turn in lab quizzes and programming assignments, you'll put the necessary files in a folder on neelix. Turn in any java file so we can make sure the submission process works for you before you have to turn in your lab quiz (Fri, Sept 9).

First, look at neelix. Do this by clicking on Start, Run and type \\neelix in the box. (Those are backslashes.)
A window should appear. Double click the dropbox folder, then ITEC folder, then ITEC120, then the folder with the username of your instructor, then Submissions, then the folder that belongs to the section of the class you are in (9am: 01, 10am: 02, 11am: 03, noon: 04, then, a folder with your username on it, where you should see a folder called RU01.
Simply copy or drag your .java file from your H: drive into the RU01 folder in your folder on Neelix. You have submitted your file.
At 30 minutes past the hour, a collection script will run and move your .java file from your RU01 folder to a collections folder which only your instructor can see. The collection script will leave a text file in your folder to let you know it was collected. Go back to your folder on Neelix and confirm that your .java file was collected.

Part 2 - Amazing grade averager

You will write Java program that will average 3 grades input by the user.

First, your program will ask the user to input what kind of assignment they will be entering grades for. (for example, they might enter test or report or project or quiz). Read this information as a String.

Your program will then prompt the user for 3 of those grades. Read the grades as integers.

Next, your program will average the three grades together, and output that number to one decimal place. (Use the DecimalFormat class to achieve this.)

Sample run:

Program outputs:	Welcome to the amazing grade averager. Please enter the type of the assignment
User inputs:	test
Program outputs:	Please enter your score for test number 1:
User inputs:	77
Program outputs:	Please enter your score for test number 2:
User inputs:	89
Program outputs:	Please enter your score for test number 3:
User inputs:	94
Program outputs:	The average of your 3 test grades is 86.7

Once you have your program working, show your lab to the Peer Instructor to be checked off. You'll run your program a couple times for the Peer Instructor.
