Tasks
|

Complete the tasks from
last week. |

Download the code for
this week's notes. Go through all the code, compiling and running each
program separately. If you have any problems, ask the lab supervisor
for help, or take a note of the problem and we can discuss it in next
week's class. The code is bundled into a ZIP
file. This is a compressed file which contains all the separate source
code files. To open this file and extract the contents, you can use
the WinZip tool which is available in the lab, and is available for
free download here.
Make sure to put all your code into a folder named
week_9 in your programming folder on your u: drive.
