I need someones honest opinion about my classe's lab final

Question

hello, my name is Professor John Mane, i am teaching AP java in a high school and would like to know if anyone thinks that this would be good for the lab final- i would like to know if anyone can do it and if can, how long it takes you to do it,
thank you
Write a class whose ultimate purpose is to either sum al the numbers or take the product of all numbers between 2 limits, skipping numbers, if desired, at regular intervals. The user is given the opportunity to specify the operation (sum or multiply), the limits (either decreasing to increasing or increasing to decreasing), and the skip interval (for example the user wants to sum every third number between 2 and 9 = 2 + 5 + 8 = 15). The user is also given the option to either add or multiply this calculated value to the previously calculated result. At the conclusion of the operation, the user is asked if (s)he wants to continue or to terminate the program. If continue is the option, the whole process begins again.
There will be a test program whose only job will be to create an object which is an instance of this class and to print out �job completed x times� (where x indicates the number of calculations performed) after the user elects to terminate. It is required that the class have a constructor, a public method to process input and control the flow of execution from the user�s point of view, and non � public methods to do the calculation and print out the results (when invoking a method from within a class, no object or class needs to be provided; just supply the name of the method).
I plan to begin grading on december 30th, so i would like to know if anyone out there can do this- and if can please send me the finished project- my email is [email protected]

Answer 1

bsampieri: yes, it's a ploy. Even assuming a teacher had decided to wait until this late in the semester to come up with an assignment, do you really think they would've decided on when they wanted to start grading it rather than, you know, when they would assign it?
Also, who introduces themselves as "my name is Professor John Mane"? For that matter, why would someone with the title "professor" be teaching an "AP Java" (high school) class?
And isn't "AP Java" really "AP Computer Science"? This doesn't really prove he or she isn't a professor as much as it proves that he or she is a dolt who doesn't even know the name of the class.
Let's see, there's also the aforementioned fact that "send me the finished project" is inconsistent with the desire to see "if it's a good lab final". If he or she is really a professor, they should have no problem actually doing it themselves. And if they can't do it themselves, they really shouldn't be assigning it to kids just learning the language.
I'd add that teachers wouldn't tend to give an assignment like this due over the holidays, but apparently this guy's teacher is enough of an arse to do that very thing. Unless the OP is giving themselves enough time to customize the code so that a google search for it won't find this thread.
I sincerely hope no one answers this jackanape, so that he or she will have wasted all the time coming up with this elaborate scheme and still fail his or her assignment.
