  • Be aware Qi had trouble compiling a number of assignments for one of two reasons. (Ask on Tuesday 9/19 for updates)
    1. She had difficulty compiling some Windows-based programs. These will be resolved shortly.
    2. You did not include instructions in your README file.
• (9/13/06) -- Homework #4 has been posted below. It is due September 21st (in class).
• (9/11/06) -- Due to a new weekly conflict with my office hours, I have changed my Tuesday office hours, as posted above. This will mainly affect students who do not come down immediately after class.
• (9/8/06) -- I have posted code to output PPM files (linked under HW3 Resources), if you are still having trouble.
• (9/4/06) -- Homework #3 has been posted below. It is due September 13th.
• (9/4/06) -- Notes about homework submissions. For Homework 1, the following issues were overlooked (or not treated severely) during grading. But this will NOT be true in the future.
  • Include a README file describing
    1. what your program does or does not do, (especially if you did extra credit)
    2. how to compile it, and (otherwise we might not be able to test it!)
    3. any strange things that we might discover when grading it (i.e., bugs).
  • Make sure your README is a text file. Please do not write it in MS Word.
  • Make sure you include all file necessary for recompiling your work. Please do not forget any header files you wrote!
  • It would be beneficial (for your grade) that your program not require command line parameters to avoid a core dump... Even if this is documented in your README.
  • Please test your Makefiles and build scripts on the Linux lab machines. (Remember the compilation is different than many Linux boxes... But we grade on the lab machines!)
• (8/29/06) -- Homework #2 has been posted below. It is due September 6th, and I will not distribute a hard copy!
• (7/28/06) -- Due to enrollment near capacity, I will sign add slips for a small number of first-year graduate students on the first day of class. If you are a non-CS graduate student in this situation, please e-mail me before the first day of class.
