Lab 7: Arrays and ArrayLists

Purpose

The purpose of this in-lab is to give you hands-on experience with arrays and the class ArrayList.

Partners

You are encouraged to work with one other partner on this assignment.

Preliminaries

Create a BlueJ project named lab7 on your lab computer. Place the following lecture files from Wednesday, October 15th into this project:

• CardDeck.java
• Card.java

Assignment

Modify the CardDeck class so that it uses the built-in ArrayList class instead of an array. The modified CardDeck class should function exactly the same as the unmodified one.

Submission

Before your lab section finishes, e-mail your lab TA the CardDeck.java file in an e-mail with the following subject line: CS 160, Lab 7, your name, your partner's name.

Grading - 4 points possible

To receive credit for this assignment, your lab TA must receive an e-mail (with a timestamp before your lab section ends) from you with the appropriate files attached to it. Do not worry if you are not finished - send what you have because partial credit can be earned.

• 1 point - an effort was made
• 1 point - the constructor works correctly with an ArrayList
• 1 point - the print method works correctly with an ArrayList
• 1 point - the shuffle method works correctly with an ArrayList

Helpful Hints

• Use the online document for the ArrayList class.
• If you finish early, spend the remaining time preparing for the midterm exam.

Before Lab Ends

Once you have e-mailed your lab TA the appropriate files, please delete the Lab7 directory that you created and empty the recycle bin on your desktop. Thanks.
