February Notices

• February 27, 2004
  • Some of you have been having problems receiving your assignment marks by e-mail due to the spam problem. To get around this, I'll be posting all the assignment marks on a web page. The only identification used will be the last five digits of your student ID. I also plan to put the midterm marks on the same page so that you can verify that the marks are consistent. If you have any problems with the assignment and/or midterm marks being put on a publicly accessible web page, please let me know. If there are no objections, I'll make the marks available on Monday.
  • Starting Monday, the location for my office hours will be changing. I'll now be in EN-2031B during my office hours (just a couple of doors to the left of my original office). The hours themselves will remain unchanged.
• February 22, 2004
  • Assignment #5 is now available.
• February 21, 2004
  • A solution to Assignment #4 is now available.
  • Assignment #5 will be available shortly.
• February 17, 2004
  • The marks for Assignment #3 have been sent out via e-mail. If you submitted an assignment but did not receive a mark, please let me know.
• February 16, 2004
  • Assignment #4 is now due this Friday at 23:59.
• February 13, 2004
  • There was an HTML formatting problem in assignment #4. The following two functions were missing the <File> element type from the vector container arguments of the functions:

    istream &read(...)
    void write(...)
    

    The assignment has been corrected.

• February 12, 2004
  • For Assignment #4, I've fixed the command to use to generate the list of files that your program will process. You should give the command:

    $ ls -l -d --full-time /dev/*
    		...
    $ ls -l -d --full-time /dev/floppy/*
    		...
    		

    The only change is the /* on the end of the directory name. Without this, only the directory name would be listed and not its contents.

    Also, the functions:

    bool sort_by_mode(...)
    bool sort_by_datetime(...)
    		

    are probably better named:

    bool compare_mode(...)
    bool compare_datetime(...)
    		

    The names you use for these functions is up to you.

  • The marks for Assignment #2 have been sent out via e-mail. If you submitted an assignment and did not receive your mark or if you have any questions about the assignment marks, please let me know.
• February 6, 2004
  • The midterm exam is still scheduled for February 18. If this is going to be a problem, please let me know. I'll try to remember to bring this up in Monday's class.
  • There were several reqeusts for an extension to Assignment #3, so it is now due 23:59 Monday night. Assignment #4 (C++) and the solutions to Assignment #3 will then be made available.
