| 10 | Create a class called Rectangle and a tester for the Rectangle class. The rectangle class should have two instance fields, one for height and one for width. It should have two constructors: one sets both the height and the width to 1, and the other takes parameters for the initial values for the height and width. Provide accessor and mutator methods for the height and width instance fields. Provide a method called area that returns the area of the rectangle. Provide a method called perimeter that return the perimeter of the rectangle. | 15 | Saturday 9/26, 11:59 pm |

| 9/21 | Our first quiz will be in class on Wednesday, 9/23. Here are the solutions for Quiz 1. The password will be given in class. |
| 8/31/09 | As we saw in class today, my original script was difficult to use. I think the best solution is for everyone in class to have their own flash drive. For Wednesday I would like everyone to download this simplified script and save it to your flash drive as setup195a.bat. You will then be able to save all of your work to the flash drive and not worry about the z: drive, which is causing a majority of our problems. |
| 8/31/09 | In order to run the software for this class from the command prompt you may need to use this script. We will discuss how to use this script in class. |
| 8/28/09 | Here are some instructions for downloading and installing software for this class. |
