Practice-It!

Practice-It! version 3.0.5 (Thu 2012/01/26)

Practice-It is a web application to help you practice solving Java programming problems online. Many of the problems come from our textbook, Building Java Programs (2nd edition), by Stuart Reges and Marty Stepp. Other problems come from exams, labs, and discussion sections from the University of Washington's introductory Java programming courses.

To use Practice-It, first create an account, then choose a problem from our list. Type a solution and submit it to our server. The system will test it and tell you whether your solution is correct.

Developed by Marty Stepp and Jessica Miller, instructors of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington. Inspired by similar tools such as CodingBat, TuringsCraft CodeLab, JavaBall, and CodeWrite. Many problems have been added by teaching assistants and colleagues; we thank them for their help.

All end-of-chapter problems from the Building Java Programs textbook that are shown in this application are © Pearson Education. All rights reserved.

What's New:

• New instructor features allow a teacher to see which problems have been solved by his/her students, to facilitate the use of Practice-It as a tool for assignable homework.
• New timed quiz feature! Take a practice exam and see whether you can finish all of the problems in a given amount of time.
• User interface improvements and bug fixes.
• The system now remembers your solution code for each problem you solve and re-displays it when you return to a given problem.
• Forgotten password / password reset feature.
• Re-organization of problems into better structure.
• Now you must be logged in at all times to use Practice-It.
