Assignments will be posted on this page about ten days before their due date. Assignments are due at class time on the due date; they will not be accepted after class time. You should turn in a hardcopy (printer output) in class and also upload your homework using the online submission form before midnight (23:59) the same day.

Your submission must include both source code and sample output; otherwise, it will not be graded. Always make sure that the code you submit does compile and run correctly. Sample outputs should test a sufficient number of inputs so as to demonstrate that your program works correctly. Graded assignments are to be picked up from the TAs during their office hours.
