Note on HW4

Important Note
Although other development environments may support many of the
same C++ language features as the CCC version of g++, pseudorandom
number generators in particular tend to require a slightly different
syntax. Even different versions of g++ may have different versions
of the srand(int) and rand() functions. For example, g++ on the Unix
machines in the CS department will generate a different pseudorandom
sequence than g++ on the CCC Unix machines when presented with exactly
the same seed value.
As always, you should feel free to develop your HW4 assignment on
the platform of your choice, but you are strongly advised to develop
HW4 on the CCC Unix system directly. If you don't, note for example
that you probably won't be able to decrypt the sample files linked
from the HW4 statement on the web. In any case, it is your
responsibility to ensure that your HW4 program works correctly
on the CCC Unix system.
The Bottom Line
Your HW4 program must function correctly under the g++ compiler on
the CCC Unix machines.
