CS 2710 Rules for
submitting programming assignments
Rules:
- Programs: All programs should preferably be written in C/C++.
If you want your program to be written in a different programming language, you must first get explicit approval from the TA. If he agrees, be sure to include a readme
with instructions to run your programs.
- Data: Please avoid sending us back data files unless your are explictly asked to
do so in the assignment.
Submission format
- WINDOWS:
Submit (the source code for) all programs and files requested
in a single .zip file created with WinZip/PKZip. Use
YourPittAccount.zip
to name the file, for example, dlitman.zip.
- UNIX:
Submit all programs and files requested in a single .tar
archive file. Use
YourPittAccount.tar
to name the file,
for example, dlitman.tar.
- Creating .tar files in UNIX.
To create a .tar file use:
> tar -cvf dlitman.tar ./
in unix which archives all the files in the current directory and stores
them in the file dlitman.tar. To archive only .m files use:
> tar -cvf ./dlitman.tar ./*.m
To extract the archived files in the current directory use:
> tar -xvf dlitman.tar
command.
Please avoid including directory structure into the archive files.
Submission
- The file YourPittAccount.{tar or zip} should be submitted using the "Digital Dropbox" facility of CourseWeb.
- Corrections or What to do if I find a mistake once the file has been submitted?
Please note that once the file is submitted you won't be able to
delete it or overwrite it. If you find a mistake in your programs after the
submission and still before the deadline, create a new .tar or .zip file
YourPittAccount-VersionNumber.{tar or zip} and submit it as
described above. The file with the highest VersionNumber will be
considered to be your final submission.
