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 Friday 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. PA 1,2,3 Each one should be received no later than midnight the day Exams 1,2,3 are to take place respectively.

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. C vs C++ prototyping. For the sorting functions the second and third argument of a sorting function being int might cause problems. You can also use size_t i.e. unsigned int instead to iron out compiler errors/complaints.

1. Programming Assignment 1 (to be received by Exam1 date) in Adobe Acrobat PDF. (Note a typo has been corrected: in one place a reference to a recursive was corrected to non-recursive to comply with the rest of the text for nmgsrt.) (**** Jan 25, 2012 ****).

B4. Source code (original)

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..

3. misc/Source/C++/bubble.cc.
