CS 100x Homework -- What to turn in

HW Instructions

We will be submitting all homework assignments electronically. For each homework problem that requires programming, create a separate file called something.java where something is the file name given in the homework assignment. You may be asked to show your work by creating a transcript file called something.txt. To actually turn in your work, execute the shell script in /cs/bin/turnin and give submit, class, project, and the files you want to submit as arguments. Continuing with our example, you should type

/cs/bin/turnin submit cs100x hw1 Rainfall.java

to turn in the first problem. Or turn in more than one problem at a time, if you like. Each file you turn in should include the following information:

Name,
Course and section,
Collaborators and other sources of information,
Assignment and problem number,
Description of algorithm and inputs (if appropriate).

Collaboration

As stated previously, you are allowed to collaborate on homework assignments, but each student must turnin his/her own homework.

Making Transcripts

Some of the problems require a transcript to demonstrate that your solutions work as claimed. To begin making a transcript, type script to the shell prompt; to stop it type exit. This creates a file named "transcript" in the current working directory. For example, suppose we make a transcript of a Java program compiling and running,


% script
Script started, file is typescript
% javac HelloWorld.java
% java HelloWorld
Hello, world
% exit
exit
Script done, file is typescript

We can view the resulting transcript via


% ls
HelloWorld.class  HelloWorld.java  typescript
% more typescript
Script started on Fri Aug 13 16:07:06 1999
% javac HelloWorld.java
% java HelloWorld
Hello, world
% exit
exit

script done on Fri Aug 13 16:07:38 1999
