CMSC 201

Lecture Exercises

One group is chosen as the winner for each lecture exercise. Since many groups can have correct answers, other criteria are also used for picking the winning group. These include use of meaningful variable names, meaningful prompts and output, use of whitespace and adherance to 201 coding standards. Even handwriting can be used to break a tie.

Each member of a winning group will receive 1 point of extra credit on the next exam.

If there is a tie between a group that has won previously and one that has not, the new group will be declared the winner.

        self.side = side

    def getSide(self):
        return self.side

    def volume(self):
        return self.side ** 3

    def surfaceArea(self):
         return 6 * self.side ** 2
