 **Answer to Question 11:** **Answer to Question 11:**
 A good way to practice using the algorithms and data structures in the course, would be for each particular algorithm and data structure, including each particular method/code, in the course textbook “Data Structures and Algorithms in Java”, M.T. Goodrich, R. Tamassia, M.H. Goldwasser, Wiley, 2014, 6th Edition, create a good variety of different concrete example data for each particular data structure, then perform each step of the algorithm/method/code on each particular data structure using each of the variety of different concrete example data step-by-step. A good way to practice using the algorithms and data structures in the course, would be for each particular algorithm and data structure, including each particular method/code, in the course textbook “Data Structures and Algorithms in Java”, M.T.

 **Question 12**: The question states that we are to "Imagine a software company wants to ...", are we supposed to come up with a company idea/name on our own, also can it be an already existing company or is this just a completely hypothetical company? **Question 12**: The question states that we are to "Imagine a software company wants to ...", are we supposed to come up with a company idea/name on our own, also can it be an already existing company or is this just a completely hypothetical company?
  
-**Answer to Question 12**: You do not need to come up with a company name on your own. However you can imagine that it is some software company that already exists.+**Answer to Question 12**: You can imagine that it is an existing software company which prefers to remain anonymous which has commissioned this report. You do not need to come up with a company name on your own.
  
 **Question 13**: The assignment requires that we write a report on the various object-oriented approaches in the design and implementation of that company's software, so does that mean we should describe various approaches to designing a software for one task/program within that company or is it just describing different object-oriented approaches to different tasks/programs within that country? **Question 13**: The assignment requires that we write a report on the various object-oriented approaches in the design and implementation of that company's software, so does that mean we should describe various approaches to designing a software for one task/program within that company or is it just describing different object-oriented approaches to different tasks/programs within that country?

 +**Question 14**: In assignment 1 when you say " identify and explain the
 +possible advantages and disadvantages of using various object-oriented
 +approaches in the design and implementation of software", could a software,
 +in this case, be considered a program written using a programming language?
 +
 +**Answer to Question 14**: You may perform a Google Search on the term "software", to learn about what the term "software" could mean.

 +**Question 15:**
 +If we use a text book to reference multiple materiel for our essay do we reference it once or multiple times including the pages?

 +**Answer to Question 15:**
 +Unfortunately a claim that some members of an assignment group are doing less work / making less effort / contributing less / have dropped the course, is NOT a valid reason for not handing in an assignment on or before the assignment due date.
