Your source code files should follow a specific format and you will submit them to me in a specific way. These rules make it easier for me to automate the collecting and compiling of your homework assignments, so it is important that you follow them carefully.

Format for your source files.

At the very beginning of each source file there should be a C-style comment containing the course number, your name, and the assignment number. An example below shows how you should format this. Your solution for an assignment will make use of several source files. What I want you to turn in to me is a zip file containing all of the source files for your solution. The name of your zip file should be of the form CS525Hw0Surname.zip. The number between Hw and Surname is the number of the homework assignment. And Surname is of course your last name. If your surname has more than one part, concatenate the parts together so that the class name does not have any spaces in it.

Here is a template of how your source files should look.

/* Course: CS 52500 Name: Jean Shepherd Assignment: 0 Any other comments that you want to make... */ int main(int argc, char **argv) { // put code here }

Submitting your assignments.

When you are finished with your assignment, submit your solution using the Blackboard "Assignments" tool for this course. When you are on the "Edit Submission" page for an assignment, click on the "Add Attachments" button. In the popup window, click on the "My Computer" icon, which brings up a Windows file chooser dialog. Use the dialog box to navigate to your assignment zip file that you want to submit. After you click on the "Open" button from this dialog box, you will be back to the Blackboard "Edit Submission" page. Click on the "Submit" button at the bottom of this page. After you have submitted an assignment, it will move from your "In" box to your "Submitted" box. If you should need to re-submit the assignment, you can move the assignment back to your "In" box.

If your assignment is not finished but you want to e-mail it to me in order to ask a question about it, then use the following procedure. Put your question in the body of the mail message and either attach your source code or put it in the body of the mail message, whichever you think is more appropriate. The subject of the e-mail message should be of the form "Question: CS525HW0Surname".
