Lab 3 - Conditionals and Booleans

The purpose of this lab is to get you experimenting with and using Java conditionals and boolean expressions. Whatever you do not complete in lab today, you should try and complete on your own or with your lab partner in the next few days.

Rules For The Lab

You will play two different roles in the lab. You will either be the driver or navigator.
  • driver: The person typing at the keyboard.
  • navigator: The person watching for mistakes, making suggestions, and thinking ahead.
Important: The navigator must not touch the keyboard or the mouse. If the navigator either types or moves the mouse, the navigator will get a zero for the lab.

You have been assigned identifiers s1 and s2 when you entered the lab. At the start of the lab, s1 will be the driver and s2 will be the navigator. Your roles will switch during the lab.

Warmup

Your first task is to introduce yourself to your lab partner. Tell your lab partner your name, how your semster is going so far, and if you did anything fun over the weekend.

The driver must start jGRASP now. After every step, switch roles between driver and navigator.

Background

Java (and Processing) and many other languages have variables that can store a Boolean (TRUE or FALSE) value. In Java, variables of type boolean can represent a Boolean value:
boolean b1 = true;
boolean b2 = false;

The result of a comparison (such as <, >, <=, >=, ==, !=) is also a booolean. Variables of type boolean can be combined with booleans to yield new booleans based on standard Boolean logic, defined as follows
XY&& (AND)|| (OR)!X (NOT X)
TTTTF
TFFTF
FTFTT
FFFFT
Using boolean variables, one can create complex expressions that reresent many situations.

We have seen several ways to conditionally perform computations that rely on boolean logic:

  • the ?: operator
  • the if statement
  • the if-else statement
There is also a switch statement that we will see soon, but on another day.

Download the lab

Download the source file Lab3.java and save it on your computer. It contains the stubs of several static methods. Save it directly to your folder with your other lab files and open it in jGRASP.


// Your names here!
// Save as Lab3.java
// run the main method (at the bottom) to test your functions
//    using the red running person icon on the speedbar
// You can also test using: Lab3.methodName(actualParameters)

public class Lab3 {

// these methods are stubs with a default return value
//
// replace the code in between the curlies {} for each method
//
// don't change the function signatures:
//    (name, return type, number or parameters, types of parameters)


// returns the absolute value of x:
// x, if x is positive or 0
// -x, if x is negative
   public static double abs(double x) {
      return 0.0;

// returns true if c is a vowel (a, e, i, o, or u) 
// This should work for both upper or lower case
// remeber single quotes specify a literal char value
// thus 'a' is the first letter of the alphabet
   public static boolean isVowel(char c) {
      return false;
   }

// returns hours*rate when hours are less than or equal to 40
// returns the base rate plus any hours above 40 at 1.5 times base rate
// Michigan minimum wage is $8.90/hour
   public static double wages(double hours, double rate) {
      return 0.0;
   }


// returns true if (x,y) is inside the rectangle with corners (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
