Submission and grading of programs for this class are done electronically. The following tools are provided for you to submit your programs and to manage your program submission. Please read these descriptions carefully.
The primary tool used for program submission is submit. This command is used to submit your program for grading. This command copies the files you specify into your submission directory which belongs to your instructor. Graders compile, execute and view your files in the submission directory.
The format of the submit command for this class is:
submit cs421_jtang assignment-name list-of-files
where assignment-name is something like hw1 and list-of-files is the list of program files, header files, output data, etc. that you wish to submit.
For example, to submit the files myhello.c and readme.txt for Homework 2, you would enter:
submit cs421_jtang hw2 myhello.c readme.txt
After entering this command, you should get a confirmation that submit worked okay. Specifically, a confirmation will be printed for each file
Submitting myhello.c...OK Submitting readme.txt...OK
You may submit the same file more than once for the same assignment. In this case, the submit command will ask you to verify that you want to overwrite the previously submitted file. Only the most recently submitted file will be graded. For example, if you were to submit a new version of myhello.c for Homework 2, you would enter
submit cs421_jtang hw2 myhello.c
and see the message
It seems you have already submitted a file named myhello.c. Do you wish to overwrite? (y/n):
Enter y to submit a new version of myhello.c (the old one is gone forever), or enter n to abort the submission.
This command allows you to list (like the Unix >ls command) all of the files in your submission directory for a particular project. The format of the submitls command for this course is:
submitls cs421_jtang assignment-name
where once again assignment-name is something like hw1.
This command allows you to delete (like the Unix rm command) files from your submission directory for a particular project.
The format of the submitrm command for this course is:
submitrm cs421_jtang assignment-name list-of-files-to-delete
where assignment-name is something like hw1.
For example, if you want to delete myhello.c from your hw2 submission directory, use the command
submitrm cs421_jtang hw2 myhello.c
If successful, the command will respond with the message
Deleting myhello.c
If unsuccessful, the command responds with the message
I can't seem to find myhello.c. <shrug>
