lab should have its own makefile.
- Each
lab is expected to be completed independently.
- Each
lab should be accompanied by a report containing the following:
¨
Description
of the lab.
¨
Outline
of our solution by describing functions of major routines.
¨
Description
of test method. How did you test your program?
¨
Source
codes
- Each
report should be saved under the name ReadMe.doc.
- When
a lab is completed, please send an email to TA with your login and password
(optional, if changed).
