Long vs. Int #10

Closed ghost closed 8 years ago

ghost commented 8 years ago

I completed the Long Term Scheduler today, and while I was testing it, I discovered that there are in fact some lines in our program-file.txt that can't be converted to an int. There's a method in my simulated Disk class that converts a job from String words to int words - and I had to change it to convert to Long.

Thomas, will your classes only deal with 4-bit items? If so, it won't matter if the lines are stored as ints or Longs in RAM, is that correct?

Hey Margaret,

Currently, my CPU module will attempt to fetch an integer value (a full instruction of 4-bytes). I think that it would be best to store each instruction as a Long, so we don't run into any of these NumberException issues. I think you are free to edit my classes in your branch, if you need the CPU to fetch in Long values. Would love to hear your thoughts.
