Homework

When is it Due?

The Schedule page tells you when each assignment is due. You may turn it in up to 24 hours late for one point off. After that, late homework will only be accepted for reasons and documentation in compliance with CSU guidelines.

If you have a scheduling conflict that you regard as a valid excuse (including ROTC, marching band, etc.), then work with me in advance. I’m much less receptive when the homework is already late.

Links to the individual homework assignments are on the navigation bar on your left.

Your Homework Must Compile

If your homework doesn’t compile without errors, then you get zero for the assignment. Yes, ZERO, just as if you didn’t do it at all. Make really sure that your homework compiles. If you just can’t get part of your code to compile, and it’s too late to get help, then make it a comment—you might get some credit for that.

We will test your homework using g++ on Linux. You are not required to develop your code using g++, but that’s a good way to ensure that it works with g++. If, for example, you develop your code using Microsoft Visible Stegosaurus 98.6, and you accidentally use a Microsoft-only extension to C++, then it won’t compile with g++, and you will be graded appropriately.

If you can make a case that your code is truly ANSI C++, and that g++ is flawed in that it can’t compile your code, I’m willing to listen, but that’s fighting an uphill battle.
