Grades Available

Grades are now available: ~cs253/bin/grade

Grading Maxima

Some of the scores might be confusing. Here are their maximum values:

Assignment/Test	HW0	HW1-6	Q1	Midterm1	Q2	Midterm2	Q3	Final
Value	1%	5%	5%	13%	5%	13%	5%	14%
Maximum	1	10	100	13	30	78	30	84

For example, midterm #2 had 13 questions, but each question was scored 0-6, so the entire midterm was scored 0-78. However, as the syllabus states, each midterm is worth 13%, so you’ve got to scale the value appropriately.

Test Cases for HW6 available

The Test Programs used to grade HW6 are available: ~cs253/pub/HW6Tests

HW6 solution available

My solution to HW6 is available: ~cs253/pub/fixtree.h

Error in HW6 test code

Ryan pointed out that my HW6 test code won’t compile, because iter is declared twice. I’ve changed the second iterator to be called it.

RefCount class available

The RefCount class is available in ~cs253/pub/RefCount.h.

HW6: Iterator invalidation

I’ve added a clarification about when iterators are invalidated. Basically, it’s up to you.

HW5 Solution

My solution for HW5 is available: Dir.h Dir.cc

HW4 Solution

My solution for HW4 is available: win.cc win.h tile.cc tile.h

HW6

The last, and possibly greatest homework assignment, HW6, is now available!

HW5 change & clarification

Sorry, but it’s just too easy to allow inheriting from an STL container in HW5. That is now not permitted. Also, the iteration provided must be a bidirectional iterator.

HW5 now available

HW5: have at it!

Tests for HW3 made available

Test Programs for HW3 are available in ~cs253/pub/HW3Tests.

• HW3.ref contains the output that is compared with output from dateOutput.cpp
• HW3.input contains the input for dateInput.cpp

More time for HW4

Due to the snow, the due dates for HW4 have been postponed:

• Full credit: 11:00AM Saturday March 28
• Late penalty: 11:00AM Sunday March 29

HW4 now available

The description for HW4 is finished.

Textbooks left behind

Two students left their textbooks in my office on Wednesday. Come get them.

HW4 somewhat available

A preliminary version of HW4 is now available.

HW3 solution

A solution for HW2, for viewing only, is available:

• Date.h
• Date.cc
• WeekDate.h
• WeekDate.cc
• main.cc

More time for HW3

HW3 is now due 11:00AM Saturday, instead of Thursday. As always, you can turn it in a day late for a cost of one point.

HW3 posted

HW3 is now available.

HW2 solution

A solution for HW2 is available here. It’s intended for viewing only.

Test page for HW2

HW2 now has a test page: http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~cs253/pics.html
