This assignment document will be distributed from Blackboard assignment folder. Some parts of the assignments will require you to research answers from your text book (you must read the text book to get some answers), from the Internet, or any other reasonable source.
After reviewing Internet sources that may be used help you prepare answers, I have found that any single Internet source is very incomplete and the format is not conducive for most answers required. You may cut-and-paste answers whenever appropriate, you should take care to synthesize your answers to include multiple sources. I would be impressed that you consult a Google image search and paste and appropriate image to supplement your answer.
Since the quiz and test questions are based on your researched answers, I would recommend that you refer to any quiz questions on the assignment topics to ensure that your assignment answer is complete. Quiz answers will NOT be provided to you unless 75% of your answers from practice attempts are correct.
Please place your name in the beginning of this document and "Save As" this document using a new name that includes your name and the assignment number.
When completed, submit the FINAL version of this document to Blackboard under the Assignment folder for this individual assignment. This document will only be accepted by Blackboard, not by email or other form of submission.

1.17 What is the difference between an instance member and a class member?
1.18 Variables and Fields store data concerning an object. Properties also store data concerning an Object. Java does not use the term properties in the same way VB.NET. They use the term accessor and mutator methods. What are the differences between and a class or method variable/field versus a class/method property. Though the terminologies may different, both concepts have the same effect.
1.19 What are the security and integrity implications of using Accesor/Get functions and Mutator/Set functions?
