PLI Assignment 2 Assessment and Submission
Assessment
Assessment of Assignment 2 will be based on functionality, implementation,
testing, documentation, overall quality, and submission as indicated in the specification and below.
The general breakdown of marks is 25 for product (20 for functionality, 5
for implementation) and 5 for documentation.
Submission
Please read the following instructions carefully. Marks will be deducted
if the following instructions are not followed exactly.
- The due date for submission is 4pm on Monday 28 May 2006. Late
submissions will not be accepted, except for medical or other similar
reasons.
- Your documentation must provide detailed information on what your
program does and how to use it. It would be most convenient if your
program took its input from a file named on the command line or from
standard input if no file is named on the command line.
-
Your solution must be constructible using a makefile
on host
dwarf.ict.griffith.edu.au and must run on this host.
Check early that you are able to do
this.
- Your directory must contain all relevant files.
- Relevant files include all documentation files, header files, source
files, lex and yacc specification files, test data files, etc. Use
logical and consistent file names.
- The documentation must be provided as a PDF file called
documentation.pdf or as an HTML file called
documentation.html, in this
directory. Microsoft Word files will not be
accepted. Try to ensure that any PDF files are of a reasonable size!
- Include a makefile to construct an executable program from your
specifications and source files, and to clean your directory. More
specifically, the makefile must enable at least the following options:
- $ make
Process your specifications, compile your source
files, and create an executable file.
- $ make clean
Remove all executable, object and other
temporary files from the directory.
- Your directory must not contain any
irrelevant files. I.e., do a "make clean" before submission.
- Once you have your submission the way you want it (or you have
run out of time), leave it alone. We will read your submission
and archive it.
- Submit your solution by creating a tarball and emailing it as an
attachment to me, at the address below. Suppose, e.g., your solution
is in directory ~/pli/submission2/. Create the tarball as follows:
$ cd ~/pli/submission2/
$ cd ..
$ tar czf s1234567.tgz submission2
This should create a tarball called s1234567.tgz in the directory
~/pli/, i.e., in the directory above the submission directory.
- You can view the contents of your tarball with the following command:
$ tar tzf s1234567.tgz
- Ensure that your tarball does not contain executable, object, or other
temporary files.
- Check, in some temporary directory, not your submission directory,
that you can untar the tarball with a command:
$ tar xzf s1234567.tgz
- After you've done all this, email
r.topor@griffith.edu.au a short message with subject
line exactly as follows (for my email filter):
PLI Assignment 2 Submission
The body of this message should contain the following items, each on a
separate line:
- Your name.
- Your student number.
- Any variations from the above submission instructions. (There
should not be any).
- The tarball created above as an attachment.
