• Please, remember what I told in class: The input files I posted in the web as examples SHOULD NOT be used in your tests..you have to create your own, using the C++ editor (NOT WORD OR WORDPAD..). Also, DO NOT CUT AND PASTE from the web (because you may bring junk..). Thanks!


• ATTENTION! ATTENTION!! MAKE SURE YOU USE THE CORRECT INPUT FILE NAME! IT SHOULD BE "music.data"!!! IF YOU MISTYPE IT (AND YOUR WHILE CONDITION DOESN'T TEST FOR THE END OF THE FILE) YOUR PROGRAM MAY RUN AN INFINITE LOOP AND IMPACT THE GRADER....


• 07/21 - Homework VI is now posted!
• 07/21 - I made a mistake!! Please, change your code... When you print out the number of each different type of songs, they are NOT in alphabetical order (like I said in the specs) but the order is: Brazilian, Rock, Pop, Jazz and Soul!!! Thanks!!
• 07/21 - I just tested the Grader for Project II. It is working. IMPORTANT: 80% OF THE GRADE WILL BE FOR THE CODE ITSELF, AND 20% OF THE GRADE WILL BE FOR COMMENTS, READABILITY, HCI, ETC. (5% for the Identifiers, 5% for the Comments, 5% for the Header and 5% for the Honor Code) Make sure you read the Elements of Programming Style (find the link on the Syllabus)!!
• 07/21 - The answers for the Homework are now posted!
• 07/20 - For Homework IIb, you don't have to compile and submit the changes to the grader. You can just type out either the algorithm or the code. Make sure you make comments on the changes you make.
  Also, very important: DON'T COMPARE VARIABLES OF THE TYPE FLOAT FOR EQUALITY. You never know what exact values are stored...therefore, they are not always equal (even though you may think they are...).
• 07/19 - The Grades I have so far are now posted. Please check them and talk to me if there is any problem!
• 07/17 - Project II is now posted. Have a nice weekend!

• 07/16 - The answers for the Homeworks are now posted!
• 07/15 - The grader is working!! But I made some mistakes. So, please, correct your source code to reflect the following:
  Instead of CS1044 - Project I the title should be: CS 1044 - Project #1
  Instead of nickels you should (miss)spell it to be nickles
• 07/14 - The TA will be working on the Grader, to make sure everything works fine. As of now (2pm) she still has some problems.
  I have updated the link to the new grader so that it points to the new address I gave in class.

• 07/09 - Some of those who already turned in the homework forgot to do exercise number 2. Again, there are three parts: 1 - Tutorial (you don't have to hand in anything, just read them); 2 - Problem (you have to turn in an algorithm, just like the telephone call example); 3 - Exercises (there are 50 questions..)
• 07/06 - If you DID NOT sign the attendance sheet, you were dropped from this class. If you gave me a Force/Add slip, you were added. Some of you were present but you were not enrolled and didn't give me any force/add slip.. IN ANY CASE, EVERYBODY SHOULD CHECK STATUS...we don't want any surprises.
