CSC 160 Fall 2012 - Homework 6
Assigned Oct 15 & 17, due MON Oct 22

1) Assignments with time stamps during class time (Mon or Wed 4:15-5:30pm) will be given a grade of ZERO.
2) This assignment will not be accepted late for any reason, as solutions will be posted to Moodle shortly after midnight on the due date. This is so you can study the solutions before the Midterm Exam.

3) In the spirit of the pair programming article that you read and summarized in HW5, this week's homework assignment may be done in pairs. If you choose to work in pairs, you must find time outside of class to work together in person at one computer. As per the syllabus, you cannot "pair-off" with the same person more than once during the semester. If you choose to do the assignment in pairs, please submit one copy through Moodle where both last names are used in each file name and both names appear as a comment at the top of each pane (Definitions and Interactions).

    You are required to submit this assignment in a single Definitions Pane and a single Interactions Pane through Moodle. Points will be deducted for completing the assignment with multiple Definitions and/or Interactions Panes.

    Be sure to include your first and last name as a comment in the first line of both the Definitions Pane and the Interactions Pane.

    The file name for the Definitions Pane needs to be "hw6[LastName]Def.rkt" where:
  • [LastName] is replaced with your last name.
  • For example, if I were submitting this assignment, I would name the file "hw6WittensteinDef.rkt".

    Similarly, the file name for the Interactions Pane needs to be "hw6[LastName]Int.rkt".

    Please let me know if this is not clear or if you are unsure exactly what filename to use. Up to 5 points will be deducted from the assignment grade if incorrect filenames are used.
