Assignment 0 is a test trial. The aim of this trial is to make sure the Assignment Collecting System (ACS) is functioning all right and help you get familiar with the procedure through which you submit your homework.

DUE DATE

The deadline of the assignment is 12:00 noon, Wed 25 Sep 2002. Late assignments will not be accepted, since ACS will not collect them.

WHAT ARE YOU REQUIRED TO DO?

1. The name of the assignment, i.e., a0.
2. Specification of the assignment. In a0, you are required to write a program to create a text file "test.txt" and write the string "This is a test." into it. Please use "mytest" as the filename for your .h and .cpp files.

YOU NEED A CS UNIX ACCOUNT.

HOW DO YOU SUBMIT YOUR WORK?

1. Create your homework directory "~/comp171/a0/" under your UNIX account.
2. Put your files "mytest.cpp" and "mytest.h" under your homework directory before the deadline.
   • Please name your files exactly as specified, i.e. "mytest.cpp"and "mytest.h".
   • In a0, perhaps you don't think the file "mytest.h" is necessary. In that case, you may leave the file empty.
   • You are encouraged to compile and run your program to check if it gives the right result, but please send me only the files "mytest.cpp" and "mytest.h".

Although a0 is a test assignment, please remember to submit your work before the deadline and it will account for 10 points in your final score. If you have any questions about the assignment, please send emails to shenyh@ust.hk
