CSI2131 File Management Winter 2003

Assignment#0 (worth 2%, due date: Tues Jan 28 10:30 a.m.)

This  assignment consists  of a  trivial task  for which  you  will be
awarded 2%.   The purpose of this  assignment is that you  get used to
submitting files electronically via WebCT.

Note that it  is extremely important that you  follow the instructions
and the  standards for submission for all  assignments, including this
one. Marks will be deducted if you don't follow the standards.

The standards are  established in order to minimize  the time spent by
the teaching  assistants in mechanical tasks  (like downloading files,
renaming files),  so as to utilize  all their time  in important tasks
like  reading your  programs with  care, testing  them and  giving you
feedback.

Create the following files: 

1) Filename: "acknow.txt"

Read the policy on plagiarism in the course web page and ask me if you
have  any  questions  about  it.  After  all  your  doubts  have  been
clarified, create a textfile (with  "Notepad" or any other simple text
editor)   containing  the   following  statement   acknowledging  your
understanding:

    I  have read and  understood the  policy on  plagiarism stated  at 
    the course web page.
    Student  name: <your name>  
    Student number:  <your number>  
    Course and section: CSI2131A or CSI2131B

2) Filename:  "hello.cpp" 

Write a small  C++ program that prints the  phrase "Hello, world!"  in
the  console  (standard  output).   Your program  must  compile  under
Microsoft Visual Studio C++ .NET compiler, and run correctly.

Every FILE that you submit in this assignment as well as in any future
assignment  must contain at  the top  the following  information:
    
    Full Name: Lastname, First 
    student number: 
    course and section: CSI2131A or CSI2131B 

When the  file is a program,  insert this information  as comments, of
course: start the line with "//" in C++.

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR FILES  

Create  a directory/folder with  the first  letter (lower  case) being
your  section in the  course followed  by the  digits in  your student
number. For instance,  if your student number is  87878787 and you are
in section A, your directory/folder should be named a87878787.

Copy the  two files you  have created (acknow.txt and  hello.cpp) into
the  directory/folder a87878787. Zip this directory, creating  a  file
a87878787.zip

Submit file a87878787.zip as your assignment#0.
