General Information
Handing in an assignment
The preferred method is to hand in the assignments on-line, and then to hand
in a printout of the source file in class.
-
Hand-in Online
-
Go to the Handing in On-Line page, and follow the instructions.
-
Source
-
Hand in a printout of your source file. The source file is the .cpp file
that you create.
If you have an older browser, then the on-line upload might not work. In
that case, follow this procedure.
-
Diskette
-
You will need to hand in a 3.5" diskette that will contain your C++ source
code and executable. If you want me to grade your program, then be sure
that your diskette is virus free. Be sure that all the files that you
want me to grade are in the root directory, not in subdirectories.
-
Source
-
Hand in a printout of your source and include the source file on your diskette.
The source file is the .cpp file that you create.
-
Executable
-
Include the .EXE file that is created when you link your program on your
disk. To copy the executable to the diskette, do the following
-
From the Start menu, select Programs
-
select Windows Explorer
-
go to the c:\fpuser\startup directory
-
go to the subdirectory for your project
-
go to the Debug subdirectory in your project directory
-
click and drag the executable file to the A: drive. The executable will have
the same name as your project, and should have the description:
Application.
-
Backup Disk
-
Always have another diskette that has a copy of what you hand in. Sometimes
disks become unreadable, and you won't want to recreate your entire assignment.

Program Guidelines
You must include the following information as a comment in all your programs
' Programmer's Name:
' Course and Section:
'
' Source File Name that was uploaded:
' Program Description: Include a COMPLETE description of the program
' Due Date:
'
' I attest that I did this program solely by myself, with the possible
' exception of help from my instructor, Tim Downey
' Signature:
You must include sufficient comments so that I can understand what
you think your program does, without having to read the code. In other words,
I should be able to read just your comments and understand exactly what the
program and each function does.
You will organize your programs according to the design that the text book
uses to write code. Important considerations are spacing and
indentation. It is also forbidden to write more than one instruction
per line.
When creating names for functions or variables, it is important that you
pick good names that give an indication of what the variable contains.
Here are some very bad names: a,b,c, ... x, y, z. In general, I prefer variable
and function names to have at least three letters.
Make sure that your output is organized well. Be sure that proper
capitalization is used and that proper spacing is used. Always
echo the user's input in your output statements.
