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 - Number Theory

  • Design of Project 1

• Project Two - The Game of Life

• Project Three - Trains

  • Required function FindTotals( )
    There was a mistake in the function prototype for the required function FindTotals( ). It should be :

    void FindTotals (CAR* train, int numCars, float* costPtr, float* wtPtr);

  • File-handling & Dynamic Memory Allocation Since the material on file handling and dynamic memory allocation was just introduced, you may do these things in main() for this project.

  • Extra Credit
    For 5 points of extra credit draw an engine for the train that is the length of two regular cars. So depending upon the number of cars in the cars.dat file we use to test your code, the first line of the train will contain the engine and 0 - 3 cars, with 3 cars if possible. All other lines of the train will have 5 cars per line with the exception of the last line, which will have 0 - 5 cars.

• Project Four - Palindromes

• Project Five - Trains 2
