The programming assignments for this course are each in a different programming language. A fundamemental element of each assignment will be that to a large extent you will be required, after a brief class room introduction, to learn the corresponding programming language on your own. Thus it will be important that you take the time to learn the language BEFORE you attempt to complete the corresponding assignment.
| Fall 2000 Program Assignments | ||||
| No. | Due | Title | Language | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 9/18/00 | Simple String Manipulation Language | Pascal | |
| 2 | 10/9/00 | Simple String Manipulation Language | Scheme | |
| 3 | 10/30/00 | Directed Graphs | Prolog | |
| 4 | 11/29/00 | Rooted Trees | Standard ML | |
| Useful Resources |
Scheme, Prolog, and ML code from the Spring, 1998, programming assignments
may be useful to you.
In particular,
there are complete implementations available for each of the assignments.
However,
note that,
at least for Prolog,
and perhaps for Scheme and ML as well,
a different language processor is being used this semester,
so the syntax may differ.
You may need to rewrite some of the code to make it work
with your language processor.
THE COMPATIBILITY DRAGON STRIKES AGAIN!
| Program Submission Guidelines |
For each assignment, you are to submit a printout of the source code of your program, along with any tests (both input and output) that your program passes; these pages should all be stapled together and submitted in the box outside McBryde 638 by 5:00PM on the due data. You are also to submit an electronic version of your program by email. Details of the electronic submission are on the page with each assignment. Your programs WILL be run against a test suite and your grade will depend in part on the results of that testing.
Notes on testing are available for your use.
Each programming assignment is worth 75 points, allocated as follows:
-
40 points
Performance on the test suite developed by the GTA;
-
25 points
Well-structured and documented code;
and
-
10 points
Quality of the tests you yourself develop
and submit both as a printout and electronically.
