Comments for Lab #05

Reminders

Please, please, please read over these reminders.

Keep in mind that the labs are dense. You cannot skim over the material as you would a normal webpage. Skip the wrong thing, and you can be stuck for a while. Also, the lab does (or at least should) tell you when to do things. Much of the time it sets up various things that you'll use later, so don't worry if something isn't applied or explained right away.

It was mentioned in the previous lab, but it's more important now: indent your code. Let Eclipse do the work for you: the Source -> Format menu item formats your code for you. The grader is taking off points for your indentation. Don't lose these easy points.
