OFFICIAL 2012 AP Computer Science A Thread

<p>@ak
the very first question? 2 lines?</p>

<p>@garfieldliker: yes, classes inherit the constructors of the superclass.</p>

<p>@jkhuggins - Is this you? [Jim</a> Huggins | Kettering University](<a href=“http://www.kettering.edu/faculty/jim-huggins]Jim”>http://www.kettering.edu/faculty/jim-huggins) :)</p>

<p>@dblocks
yes</p>

<p>Darn…how many points will I lose for not writing a constructor?</p>

<p>@ak
I believe it was just initializing an object and return statement</p>

<p>@HxCKhaos
I get your solution now, sorry about the confusion. It is actually a pretty creative way of solving it.</p>

<p>@killerskullz: yeah, that’s me. </p>

<p>@garfieldliker: impossible to say without seeing the problem as a whole.</p>

<p>Hmm, 2009 had a similar FRQ about “write a gridworld class,” and the constructor is not mentioned in the rubrik…However, it DOES deduct points for overriding the act method(but that’s because the original FRQ had that in its directions). Did this year’s directions say not to override act?</p>

<p>@garfieldliker
I don’t think it did. And yeah, the stockpile bug, I read that when I was studying. It was taunting being told to write a class but seeing how it was just overriding a method and creating a new one made it seem better. Also you get 2 free points just for a proper class header if I remember right.</p>

<p>@garfield - You had to override act.</p>

<p>YeA Huggins, what might be the curve?</p>

<p>Hmm, missing constructors is not even an error mentioned on the “general deductions,” but I’m sure they can deduct for things like that even if not explicitly stated…</p>

<p>@ak5528
Why would you use a loop? All you have to do is add the newly created object</p>

<p>@garfield - No constructors were needed. Period.</p>

<p>I really hope that the curve is nice :/</p>

<p>Bombed MC, but did good on part twos…</p>

<p>hey guys, for the first FR, did you first create a ClimInfo object as the first line of your code?</p>

<p>Zelda, I made one. then added it.</p>

<p>@Zelda</p>

<p>Yes, and added it the list i believe</p>

<p>Dang, I hope I did not screw up too bad on the MC! I did not get time to answer like 6 or 7, and I probably made other silly mistakes here and there.</p>
