Programming Assignment Guidelines

• Be professional in all assignments. 

• Submit: listing of source code; output(s) generated by that source program; listings of any input and/or output files used. Interactive console window should be formatted black on white, rather than white on black.

• Combine all parts of the submission into a single pdf file; then submit.

• Initial Comment section should contain at least the following:

// Your name
// Course and section
// Instructor's name
// Date program completed
// Assignment number
// Assignment name
// Program description
// Name (and optionally path) of file containing function main() for this program

• After that, comment each major section of the program.

• The program should be complete and error-free.

• Use meaningful variable names. Program should be as efficient and as elegant as possible.

• Use line-breaks to break long statements over several lines.

• Output should also have appropriate headings, including your name, assignment number, etc.

• Assignments must be submitted on time.

• Do not email or fax submissions.

• If you are permitted to resubmit an assignment, always attach the first submission.

• Do not write on submission by hand (or typewriter or editor or ...).

• Do not erase, cross out, or use "white out" on submission.

• By submitting a program with your name on it, you are certifying that you are its sole author.

  • If you do collaborate on a programming assignment - either with a classmate, someone else, or an online site - you must indicate as much in your comments.  Regardless of the help you may have received, you should have rewritten the code to make it your own.
