I just completed a review/skilltest necessary for me to take a "Data Structures and Algorithms, Using Java" class, where it's assumed we already know how to program - "this is not a programming class".

And I decided I'm going to post all code for all classes this semester.

So, here they are.  All 5 problem statements, the given JavaDocs, and the resulting code that passed the robot-evaluation.  They're in "just class" format, and should be implementable (to a certain extent) as a "plug and play" class - assuming you follow the correct input parameters.

All code is now available via SVN, and a web browsing utility:

TwoSquaresTicTacToe

ClosestPoints

DuplicateSubstring

Sudoku

Note:  I am not advocating using this code in place of doing your own homework, or in any situation other than pure interest.  However, in the event that you do, I am not responsible for any resultant issues (legal, moral, or ethical) that may arise.  Finally, I am not presenting these as perfect cases, the best way to approach the problems, nor the fastest.  They are, simply, viable solutions.
