Programming Assignment - P1

Let's Get Started!

Due - January 30th, 2018 at 6:00pm

Late - January 31st, 2018 at 8:00am

Objectives of this Assignment

Write a Java program with console output, and
learn how to submit your Java program using Checkin tab on the course web site, also
to understand how preliminary testing works and see if you can follow directions!

Instructions

Create a Java program called P1 with a class named P1, which after created should contain a file named P1.java in the src folder. All of the Java code you write should be contained in the main method and an example of the code structure is shown below. For this assignment, you must follow the directions below exactly:

Create a project in Eclipse called P1.
Create a class in the project called P1.
Let Eclipse create a main method in P1.java by selecting the option public static void main(String[] args) under the header "which method stubs would you like to create?". Unselect the other two options at this time.
Copy the comment block shown below and personalize it if you have not set up a default comment header.

All variables and code should reside in the main method!

On the first line of output, print the string "Welcome to CS150!".
On the second line of output, print the string "Java Programming can be fun.".
On the third line of output, print your last name, a comma followed by a space, and your first name.
On the fourth line of output, print your major or "Undeclared".
On the fifth line of output, print the name of this class "CS150 - Interactive Programming in Java".
On the sixth line of output, print the due date of this assignment in the format shown below.
On the seventh line, print a sentence that explains why you are taking this class.
Some additional directions for the seventh line, as follows:

Must start with a capital letter.
Must end with a exclamation mark.
Must be between 50 and 70 characters total, including white space.

Program Structure

// Assignment: P1 Assignment

// Class: CS150
// Email: Russ.Wakefield@colostate.edu

public class P1 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        // Print statements go here

    } // end main
} // end class P1

Sample output

Your program should print seven lines, and should match the output format shown below, except as described here. You must print exactly the strings shown on the first and second lines. Spelling errors, incorrect capitalization, extra or missing white space and any other difference will cause your program to be incorrect. The third line will have your name instead of mine. The fourth line will not be checked, but must be present. The fifth and sixth lines must have exactly the strings shown. The seventh line must follow the specification given above. See the grading criteria below for additional information.
