This class is a tough class and like the people saying below me u need to work hard to pass with a decent grade. I never had experience in java or C++. I found out that program 1 and 2 are easy but starting program 3 it will get extremely hard. U need to be ready to take the challange because programs will take at least 20 hours of work yes beleive it. Its a hard class and yes dont ever copy codes from each other the professor is brilliant he can find out and u will pay for it because u will get automatic F.
