CS 160 - Programming Concepts and Applications

This assignment will be posted shortly. Stay tuned!

It is critical that you follow these steps when submitting homework.

If you do not follow these instructions, your assignment will receive a major deduction. Why all the fuss? Because we have several hundred of these assignments to grade, and we use computer tools to automate as much of the process as possible. If you deviate from these instructions, our grading tools will not work. And that makes us very unhappy. And when we're unhappy, we give penalties. Thus, make us happy.

Here are step-by-step instructions for submitting your homework properly:

0. File and folder names are extremely important in this process. Please double-check carefully, to ensure things are named correctly.
   1. The top-level folder of your project must be named Set8
   2. Inside Set8, create 2 sub-folders that are required for this Set. The name of each sub-folder is defined in that Set (e.g. L8A, and A8).
   3. Copy your program main.cpp and supporting files into the subdirectories of Set8 (steps 1-2), zip this Set8 folder (steps 3-4), and then submit the zipped file (steps 5-11) to Canvas.
   4. For example, when you zip/submit Set8, there will be 2 sub-folders called L8A, and A8 inside the Set8 folder, and each of these sub-folders will have a file called main.cpp and nothing else.
   
   
1. You will need to download each project file(s) from Codenvy to your computer.
   
   
2. Using Windows Explorer (not to be confused with Internet Explorer), find the file named "main.cpp" located inside the folder for the particular lab or homework assignment you will submit.
   
   STOP: Are you really sure you are viewing the correct assignment's folder?
   
   
3. Now, for A8, right click on the main.cpp to copy the file. Then, return to the Set8/A8 folder and right click to paste the file. In other words, put a copy of your homework's main.cpp source code and supporting files into the Set8/A8 folder.
   
   
   Follow the same steps for L8A, to put a copy of your lab's main.cpp and supporting files into the Set8/L8A folder.
   
   STOP: Are you sure your Set8 folder now has all your code to submit?
   
   
4. Now, right-click on the "Set8" folder.
   1. In the pop-up menu that opens, move the mouse "Send to..." and expand the sub-menu.
   2. In the sub-menu that opens, select "Compressed (zipped) folder".
   
   STOP: Are you really sure you are zipping a Set8 folder with sub-folders that each contain a main.cpp file in it?
   
   
5. After the previous step, you should now see a "Set8.zip" file.
   
   
6. Now visit the Canvas page for this course and click the "Assignments" button in the sidebar.
   
   
7. Find Set8, click on it, find the "Attach file" area, and then click the "Browse My Computer" button.
   
   
8. Find the "Set8.zip" file created earlier and click the "Open" button.
   
   STOP: Are you really sure you are selecting the right homework assignment? Are you double-sure?
   
   
9. WAIT! There's one more super-important step. Click on the blue "Submit" button to submit your homework.
   
   
10. No, really, make sure you click the "Submit" button to actually submit your homework. Clicking the "Open" button in the previous step kind of makes it feel like you're done, but you must click the Submit button as well! And you must allow the file time to upload before you turn off your computer!
    
    
11. Canvas should say "This assignment is complete. Click OK to review the results.". Click "OK" and view the files within the zip file you submitted. In other words, verify you submitted what you think you submitted!

In summary, you must zip the "Set8" folder and only the "Set8" folder, this zip folder must have several sub-folders, you must name all these folders correctly, you must submit the correct zip file for this homework, and you must click the "Submit" button. Not doing these steps is like bringing your homework to class but forgetting to hand it in. No concessions will be made for incorrectly submitted work. If you incorrectly submit your homework, we will not be able to give you full credit. And that makes us unhappy.
