These are the general requirements for writing and submitting laboratory assignments in Professor Baldwin's COSC 1315, Programming Fundamentals course.

Submittal Requirements

You must name your source files Asg01.cpp, Asg02.cpp, etc.

Your name must appear in the program output even if it is not included in the assignment specifications.  (If you find an assignment that fails to require your name in the output, please notify Prof. Baldwin.)

You must submit each assignment by printing the material described below and submitting the printed material to Prof. Baldwin.

Skeleton format

The following skeleton format must be used for all program submissions.  Please leave blank lines between the different sections in your source code to make the code easy to read.  Also include the asterisks and the forward slash characters to serve as separators as shown.

/***********************************************
Author: <Your name here>
Assignment Number: <1,2,3,...10>
Program Name: <Asg01,Asg02,Asg03,...Asg22>
Date: <Submission date here>

File Name:  <Source file name here>

Leave two blank lines and copy the program
specifications  <-here->
***********************************************/

Leave two blank lines and insert your source 
code <-here-> followed by two more blank
lines.

/***********************************************

Leave one blank line and paste the screen
output <-here-> once the program runs 
successfully.
***********************************************/

Object-Based Programming Syntax

The specifications for several of the assignments stipulate that the program must use Object-Based Programming Syntax.  Unless stated otherwise in the specifications for a specific assignment, this means that your program must satisfy the following requirements:

Global variables:

• The program may not contain any global variables.

Global functions:

• The program may contain only one global function and it must be named main.
• The global function must not require any parameters.
• The global function must return type int.
• The global function must not contain more than two executable statements, one of which must be a return statement.

Here is the code for a typical global main function:

int main(){
  ClassName::classMain();
  return 0;
}//end main

Static functions:

• The program may contain only one function that is declared to be static and that function must be named classMain if it exists.
• The static function may not require any parameters and must have a void return type.
• The static function may not contain more than two executable statements.
• Neither executable statement may contain cout or cin.
• Neither executable statement may contain insertion operators, extraction operators, arithmetic operators, relational operators, or logical operators.  (See the lesson entitled Expressions and Operators for a discussion of operators.)

Here is the code for a typical static classMain function:

  static void classMain(){
    ClassName* ptrToObject = new ClassName();
    ptrToObject -> instanceFunctionName();
  }//End classMain function

Assignments will be judged either acceptable or unacceptable

If you submit a lab assignment by the deadline, your submittal will be judged either acceptable or unacceptable.  No partial credit will be given for unacceptable assignments.
