CS 1571 Rules for
submitting programming assignments
Rules:
- Programs: All programs submitted to us should be written in C/C++ and should compile on g++
supported by CSSD on unix.
- 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
YourFirstName-YourLastName.zip
to name the file, for example, Jane-Doe.zip.
- UNIX:
Submit all programs and files requested in a single .tar
archive file. Use
YourFirstName-YourLastName.tar
to name the file,
for example, Jane-Doe.tar.
- Creating .tar files in UNIX.
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 .m files use:
> tar -cvf ./Jane-Doe.tar ./*.m
To extract the archived files in the current directory use:
> tar -xvf Jane-Doe.tar
command.
Please avoid including directory structure into the archive files.
Submission
- The file YourFirstName-YourLastName.{tar or zip} 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 file directly into
/afs/cs.pitt.edu/public/incoming/CS1571/.
In exceptional cases, you may submit your archive file via e-mail sent
to the TA of the course.
- 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
YourFirstName-YourLastName-VersionNumber.{tar or zip} and submit it as
described above. The file with the highest VersionNumber will be
considered to be your final submission.
