==== Friday's Lab ====

  * Main moodle page - https://moodle.vassar.edu/course/view.php?id=19557
  * Lab 2 - https://moodle.vassar.edu/mod/assign/view.php?id=754200
  * A few thoughts...
    * My approach would be to ensure each step (within step 3) you write along the way does work. So get the Welcome and Quit parts working before attempting to perform any calculations. 
    * You may want to have the lecture slides (see Tuesday, above) or Oracles java documentation handy.
    * The due date is Tuesday, 9/21 at noon!
