CS 1571 Rules for
submitting programming assignments
Rules:
- Programs and compiler.
All programs submitted to us should be in C/C++ and
should work with g++ compiler and libraries. g++ runs under unix and you can access it through
your regular CSSD account.
- Submission format.
Submit all programs and files in a single .tar
archive file. Use
YourFirstName-YourLastName.tar
to name the file,
for example, Jane-Doe.tar.
- Creating .tar files.
To create a .tar file use:
> tar -cvf Jane-Doe.tar ./
in unix which archives all the files in the current directory and stores
them in the file Jane-Doe.tar. To archive only .c files use:
> tar -cvf ./Jane-Doe.tar ./*.c
To extract the archived files in the current directory use:
> tar -xvf Jane-Doe.tar
command. Please avoid sending us object .o and executable files.
- Submission.
The file YourFirstName-YourLastName.tar should be submitted to us by
an anonymous ftp to:
ftp://ftp.cs.pitt.edu/incoming/CS1571
If you have
a .cs account you can copy the tar file directly into /afs/cs.pitt.edu/public/incoming/CS1571.
In the exceptional case, you may submit your .tar file via e-mail sent
to the TA of the course, Tomas Singliar, at
tomas@cs.pitt.edu.
- 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 file
YourFirstName-YourLastName-VersionNumber.tar and submit it as
described above. The file with the highest VersionNumber will be
considered to be your final submission.
