Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Sign up for Piazza

Click this link to sign up. All course announcements will be through Piazza, so it is very important that you sign up!

Step 2: Edit the `lab1problems.txt` File

Using a text editor of your choice, open the lab1problems.txt file. The file contains a series of questions for you to answer. The answers should be placed directly in the file itself. All questions must be answered correctly for full credit. Make sure you save your answers before you exit.

If you are working with others, record their names in collaborators.txt. Each collaborator should be listed one per line. If you did not collaborate with anyone, you do not need to edit collaborators.txt.

Step 3: Turn in Your Answers Using Canvas

Log into Canvas, and go to the COMP 122L class. Click “Assignments” on the left pane, then click “Lab 1”. From here, you can upload your answers in your local copy of lab1problems.txt by clicking the “Submit Assignment” button. Be sure that the file you upload is named lab1problems.txt, and that it is actually a plain text file. If you collaborated with anyone else, be sure to also upload your local copy of collaborators.txt. You can turn in the assignment multiple times, but only the last version you submitted will be graded.
