The correct outputs of the Project #5 secret tests have been placed
in the directory
212public/proj5. - December 9
-
The Project #5 secret test results are visible on the submit
server, and the secret tests have been placed in the directory
212public/proj5.
Note that the first two secret tests have the same effect as the shell commandsmain-int-bst.x < numbersandmain-int-hash.x < numbers, and both should produce the same output as the original program you were given, using the original binary search tree of integers, when run with input redirected from the same file (in other words, they should produce the same output asmain-int.x < numbers). Some students failed to include the proper header filetable.hin their revisedmain-int.c, or didn't convert it to usevoid *pointers, or modified it in some way such that it didn't produce the same output as the original version. - December 6
- See the Project #6 clarification on the Project #6 clarifications page . Be sure to check it regularly for any later clarifictions or corrections.

- Please fill out the online course evaluation, anytime before noon December 13.
- Please make sure that your modified
main-int.c, in your Project #5 submission, is includingtable.h, and is not includingbst-int.h. (Of course you will have to change the calls to the table functions to usevoid *arguments in order to do this.

The Project #4 tarfile has just been updated with the eight public
tests, which are worth 45 points total. The release tests (soon to be
available) will be worth 20 points, and the secret tests 20 points, for

Due to the project due date there will be some extra office hours
tomorrow (Monday the 30th), held by Brent, from 2:00-3:30, in case
you have questions at that time.
Sometimes when the weather is bad, power problems occur and systems can go down for a while. The CS webserver has been known to go down before. You may want to download the PDF copy of the project assignment to have it so you can keep on working on your project even if the webserver is inaccessible for a while. - October 26

Eight release tests are now on the submit server; four of them are 2
points and four of them are 3 points, so the release tests are 20
points in total. The secret tests for this project will also be 20
points.
Note that theprintfnear the end ofpublic3.c, which had readprintf("\nCopying s3 to s4.\n"), was worded incorrectly, ass4is really being copied tos3. To avoid confusion, thisprintfhas been updated inpublic3.cin the posted tarfile.
Note: we ask that you not submit your project unnecessarily to the submit server just to create a backup copy of it, but we do strongly suggest that you make frequent backup copies of your project files, using thecpcommand. - October 24

We forgot to remove the labels from the third public test, and also
left an incorrect line in the
Makefile. Also, the fourth public test had a line with "R0" rather than "R00". These have all been fixed, and the Project #2 tarfile has just been updated. Please copy it again, and extractpublic3.c,public4.c, and theMakefileagain. We're sorry for the inconvenience and for any confusion. - October 6
