B1. Programming Assignments and Exams

• Bonus Points Do you want to collect 20 bonus points? Fill in and submit THIS FORM. no later than end of day (23:59 EDT) of the second Wednesday of the semester.

Problem sets with solutions are periodically posted in the protected area. You don't get credit for doing these problem sets!

• Clarifications for Programming Assignments
  1. Item 1: You may substitute the dash "-" in function names such as lint-print if this causes you a problem in compilation etc.
  2. Item 2: In a filename read by setlint-file, you may assume that a number starts from the very first line without any leading white characters. It is also implied that only one number exists per file. The number in a file might span more than one lines. The line separator might be a Unix LF (i.e. "\n") character or a combination CR/LF (i.e. "\r\n").

Before you do anyone of the programming assignments, read Handout 2 below (Section B2b), and download the code of Section B4 (one of items 1 or 2,3,4 for C++ or C programming), All programming assignments will be made available at the beginning of the semester. For due dates, please check the syllabus, page 2.

1. Programming Assignment 1 in Adobe Postscript and Adobe Acrobat PDF. (**** Aug 31, 2009 ****).
2. Programming Assignment 2 in Adobe Postscript and Adobe Acrobat PDF. (**** Oct 5, 2009 ****). There was a typo with the section 2.1 header (Option 2) indicating a number of points of 105 and a section 2.2 header indicating a number of points of 100 instead of the correct 120. The typo in the section 2.1 header was corrected to 120 and the section 2.2 header was removed (it was redundant). Other than that, the previous and current documents ARE THE SAME. However make sure that your browser or Adobe PDF reader loads the new document dated Oct 5, 2009, not the older one dated Aug 31, 2009 if you want to view the new document with the correction. The links below point to renamed versions of the new document to avoid caching problems. Adobe Postscript:pa2-new.ps and Adobe Acrobat PDF:pa2-new.pdf.
3. Programming Assignment 3 in Adobe Postscript and Adobe Acrobat PDF. (**** Aug 31, 2009 ****).

B4. Source code

1. misc/Source/C++/testing.tar or misc/Source/C++/sortgC++.tar are one of the same and contain three individual files. On a UNIX system (eg. AFS or Linux) you untar say the testing.tar file by typing tar xvf testing.tar . On a PC one could use a file extraction/compression program such as WinZip to extract its contents. The tar file contains the following three files that can be retrieved independently as well. ATTENTION VISUAL C++ USERS In sortg.cc, you might have to replace INT_MAX by RAND_MAX and the function call to random() by a function call to rand() to make things work right. Note that AFS-based C++ compilers understand C++ files that have .cc suffixes. If you use Visual C++ you may have to use .cpp suffixes in filenames for things to work properly..
2. misc/Source/C++/Makefile.
3. misc/Source/C++/bubble.cc.
4. misc/Source/C++/sortg.cc.
