Description
Objectives
• Further experience working with Objects and Arrays in Java
• Experience writing your own tests
• Experience implementing a doubly-linked list in Java
Objectives
This assignment requires you to implement a list interface using a doubly-linked list implementation.
Although there is a tester provided for this assignment, it does not include a comprehensive set of sets for each
method. You should add your own tests to test cases not considered.
Note: The automated grading of your assignment will include different and additional tests to those found in the
A2Tester.java file.
Quick Start
1. Download all of the .java files found in the Resources > Assignments > a3 folder.
2. Read through the documentation provided in ther A3List.java interface, there is a lot of very
useful information that will help you with your implementation of each method.
3. Compile and run A3Tester.java. Work through implementing each method at a time. Debug the
method until all of the tests pass for that method before proceeding to the next one.
4. The following video outlines what is expected of you for the interleave method:

interleaved when visiting the items from front to back, or back to front.
CRITICAL: You must name the methods in A3LinkedList.java as specified in the documentation
and used in A3Tester.java or you will receive a zero grade. Remember that all methods specified in
an interface must be implemented, or your code will not compile correctly. Any compile or runtime
errors will result in a zero grade (as if the tester crashes it will not be able to award you any points for
any previous tests that may have passed).
Submission and Grading
Submit A3LinkedList.java with your name and student ID at the top using ConneX.
If you chose not to complete some of the methods required, you must provide a stub for the incomplete
method(s) in order for our tester to compile. If you submit files that do not compile with our tester, you will
receive a zero grade for the assignment.
It is your responsibility to ensure you follow the specification and
submit the correct files. Additionally, your code must not be written to specifically pass the test cases in the
tester, instead, it must work on all valid inputs. We may change the input values when we run the tests and
we will inspect your code for hard-coded solutions.
Be sure you submit your assignment, not just save a draft. ALL late and incorrect submissions will be given
a ZERO grade. A reminder that it is OK to talk about your assignment with your classmates, but not to share code
electronically or visually (on a display screen or paper). We will be using plagiarism detection software.
