    The Hello World! assignment is an exercise designed to teach you how to create a computer program with an editor, how to compile the program, how to make a script of a test run of the program (the script is evidence that you tested the program), and how to e-mail a copy of the program and the script to me.
  
  
• Student-Arranged Laboratory Assignment: Students pick a time outside of class this week and/or next week to visit the Computer Science Department Laboratory, try logging into their accounts, maybe get some help from their unix book, if they have one. (There will probably be a lab assistant around who can help answer questions.)
