ICS4U Assignments
Submitting your work to Google Classroom
Question: "May I use features in assignments/tests beyond those specified on the assignment rubrics/test questions?"
Answer: For tests, you will only receive marks for demonstrating your understand/use of concepts in the course curriculum. For assignments, you are welcome and always encouraged to explore concepts beyond those defined, but you will RECEIVE NO MARKS FOR THOSE EXTENDED CONCEPTS. They will not be evaluated in your fulfillment of rubrics. Assignments/ tests/quizzes are evaluated against the Ontario curriculum only.
Queues Assignment - Airport Simulation, due Thursday June 10th, 2;45pm. Please name the project 'LastFirstAirport', where 'Last' is your Last Name and 'First is your First Name. Submit it to the Classwork item by the due date.

Inspired by! Fred Flintsone!
Please name the project 'LastFirstRecursionA' for part A and 'LastFirstRecursionB' for part B. Submit them to the Classwork item by the due date.
Video of description of Part A
Here is Part A of the assignment. 'LastFirstRecursionA', where 'Last' is your Last Name and 'First is your First Name, and submit to the Classwork item by the due date. Global variables are NOT permitted in this assignment.

File I/O assignment due April 23 at 2:45pm. (assigned April 8)
You will CREATE a project named "LastNameFirstNameSecureLogin". And your eventual exported .zip archive will be called, "LastNameFirstNameSecureLogin.zip" where in both cases LastName is YOUR last name and FirstName is YOUR first name.
No extra time given for GUI beyond what's demonstrated. In order to NOT LOSE C marks, IT IS STRONGLY recommended that your GUI strictly follow the model demonstrated. If the tester (teacher) needs to repeatedly run the program to try to figure out how your custom interface works, that'll be a loss of C marks.

'RockPaperScissors' pseudocode GOOGLE SHEET - due MONDAY MARCH 1, SHARED
WITH [email protected]
Pseudocode Guidelines for ICS at NHS
Clarification on Program PC4 - the Mountain Climber
If you look in the Notes section, you see the statment, "If the fatigue factor drops Nicholas' climbing distance below zero, he does not climb at all on that attempt."
That means his distance climbed is ZERO on that attempt.
The next point says, "Regardless of how far he has climbed, HE ALWAYS SLIDED D feet after a fall."
So on each term even if he climbs zero, he still falls.
So for the input of 25 10 1 50, the correct output is:
25 10 1 50
d=25.0
c=10.0
s=1.0
f=50.0
Attempt: 1 0.0 10.0 10.0 9.0
Attempt: 2 9.0 5.0 14.0 13.0
Attempt: 3 13.0 0.0 13.0 12.0
Attempt: 4 12.0 0.0 12.0 11.0 notice that since the climbing distance is now negative, he does not climb but he still falls.
Attempt: 5 11.0 0.0 11.0 10.0
Attempt: 6 10.0 0.0 10.0 9.0
Attempt: 7 9.0 0.0 9.0 8.0
Attempt: 8 8.0 0.0 8.0 7.0
Attempt: 9 7.0 0.0 7.0 6.0

Attempt: 11 5.0 0.0 5.0 4.0
Attempt: 12 4.0 0.0 4.0 3.0
Attempt: 13 3.0 0.0 3.0 2.0
Attempt: 14 2.0 0.0 2.0 1.0
Attempt: 15 1.0 0.0 1.0 0.0
Attempt: 16 0.0 0.0 0.0 -1.0

When handing in an assignment, any diagnostic code that prints to the console should be removed prior to submission. It looks messy and unfinished. For any GUI projects, all console print statements should be removed prior to submission. An assignment is an opportunity for you to show your BEST work. Professional look and feel is part of that presentation. Communications marks will be deducted for diagnostic statements in submitted work.
Your projects/assignments will be TESTED on a standard install of Netbeans 8.2. You are responsible for assuring that your program runs as you expect it. Your teacher will not inform you if they are unable to run your program. DO TESTING LONG BEFORE YOUR PROJECT/ASSIGNMENT is due!
If the projects are not immediately openable from the associated programs/IDE, you will NOT receive full marks.
If you are doing a project at home and/or on your laptop, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to get it into the appropriate Assignments submission item in Google Classroom by the due date.
