Submission through Canvas per Handout 2 guidelines, and before noon on a Thursday. Noon is 12 o'clock noon also designated 12PM, which is not midnight. Before noon means no later than 11:59:59am. Before you do the programming project, read Handout 2 below. If you don't and you get 0 points in the project, do not complain about the grade. PrP option 1 includes fragments of an example that can appear in a batch file. Here you may find the complete example in one file: Example of PrP Option 1
