"How do I run the sample solution JARs?"
You can run our sample solutions two ways: in your browser as an "applet", or on your machine as a downloadable program "JAR". First try clicking the "applet" link. If the sample solution runs properly that way in your browser, hooray! But the applet doesn't run properly for some students due to issues with the Java JDK installation or browser plugin security issues. Some users see messages about the applet being "blocked" or a "security error" and can't get it to run. If you see this security error message, you can try to follow these instructions about reducing your security restrictions for running Java applets. Some Mac users have reported that it is helpful to go to System Preferences → Java, and whitelisting the web site https://www.stanford.edu .
If the applet doesn't work for you, download the .jar archive and run it on your machine as a normal application. On most machines, all you have to do is download the .jar file, then double-click it to run it. But on some Macs, that won't work; it will say that it doesn't know how to launch the file. If you have that issue, download the file, go to the Downloads folder in your Finder, right-click on the file, and click Open, and then Confirm. (Thanks a lot to Tommy Fang for the tip!)
"I need help with my homework!"
- There is probably someone in the LaIR, or maybe the instructor has office hours soon. If so, go see them.
- Check the message forum; your question may have been answered there.
- Go to the YEAH hours for this assignment.
- Read the relevant chapters and sections of the textbook
- Look at the in-class lecture examples.
- Look at this week's section handout problems and their solutions.
- Start early! We get swamped the day assignments are due.
- Don't panic. Every student has late days that can be used to submit an assignment after the due date.
