Directions for Lab #2

Do Laboratory 1 on page 96 of Shiflet. The file lab021.cpp is here.

Do all the steps. However in steps b and e, instead of printing a listing and a sample run of the program, send the listing and sample run to me via e-mail. Do this in the manner described in the "Hello World" example: make a script of a run of the program, filter the script to clean it up, e-mail the source code, and e-mail the script.

Note that the lab calls for two version of the source and output, so that makes a total of four pieces of e-mail you have to send.

Incidentally, it would be a good idea to separately save each version of the program source code that you make, and each version of the script that you make. For example you could use the Unix cp command in a manner like this:

cp lab2.cpp lab2A.cpp cp lab2.script lab2A.script to save copies of the current versions of your source and script files. Later when you have different versions, you can save them as lab2B.cpp and lab2B.script. Ask me about this if you have questions.

For the first two e-mails, use the subjects CS1500, Lab2 source A and CS1500, Lab2 script A. For the second two e-mails, use the subjects CS1500, Lab2 source B and CS1500, Lab2 script B.

You must complete all steps of the lab on Friday, March 3, including the e-mailing of the source and script files. Therefore, spend some time before Friday getting ready. Study the directions, rehearse, and ask questions.
