CMSC 201 Programming Projects

I've made this sample grading form available. You can expect the grading forms for this semester to look similar, but they will not look exactly like this.

It is an excellent design file and what we would like to see although it surpasses the requirements somewhat. Notice that design file she has written will actually become her header file with very little modification. Her description of main() is the high-level algorithm that was described in the Description of Project 1 lecture that semester and, as written, is a complete skeleton of that project.

See the Project Submission and Grading Policy which includes an Important Warning about developing your projects and ACADEMIC INTEGRITY.

Project Descriptions

• Project Zero - Sample Submit

• Project One - World Traveler

  • Design diagram for World Traveler

  • Guarantee: The graders will only enter integers as input to your Project 1 program.

• Project Two - Oil Spill Simulation

  • For debugging purposes, I've provided sample output for oilspill17.dat

  • Projects will be considered correct if the calculations produce the same results for oilspill17.dat at Time 1 as our sample output within 1 gallon at each square mile.

• Project Three - Web Data Mining

  • The recommendation your project is to make about what type of site should be added as a link to the CMSC 201, Inc. website, should be determined by the largest percentage of interest in a type, rather than the number of hits.

  • It is always best to try to make the output of your program match the sample output. The graders compare your output to the sample output to determine the correctness of your program.

• Project Four - Data Security

  • The filename can be as much as 30 characters long.

• Project Five - Instruction Set Simulator

  • There have been 2 modifications to the project description:
    1. The definition of the SUB instruction has been changed.
       operand 2 is to be subtracted from operand 1
    2. The prototype of the required function ExecuteCommand() has been changed
       to include pointers to the REGISTERs as parameters.
  • New output files have been generated to show the values in the registers in aligned columns.
