CS315H Assignment 0
Bacteriacount

The purpose of this assignment was to simulate duplication of bacteria that occurs every 30 seconds. The problem is that integers and longs do not hold enough digits to accurately represent the exact number of bacteria in the environment simulated. To accomplish this, I used part of the API (which the assignment sheet hinted at quite a bit), the BigInteger class, although there are many other ways to complete this task. The test cases used were the ones described on the lab sheet, as well as some more extreme cases such as minimal amounts of time, and 10,000 hours passed. It's interesting that the BigInteger class can hold such large values without causing errors.

Used code that was not my own:
