EECS 1720 Lab 1 Jan 12 & 13, 2017

The 6 exercises are described in the files ExerciseN.java in the src directory of the project. Each exercise builds on the previous one.

Some of the exercises use the Toolbox.crash method to perform validation. The Toolbox class is defined in the type library. To use it, you must attach it as an external library to your Eclipse project which is contained in the following JAR file type.jar.

Complete all the exercises.

This lab is not graded and you don't need to submit anything. However the solution to the last exercise is similar to that of a problem that you will have to solve in next week's lab, which will be graded.
