    Hi CS 3100 --
    
    After getting more feedback from the class I see that "swap" is not used
    uniformly by all our sorting algorithms.  I have changed the assignment
    slightly to take care of the ambiguity.  You will write your driver to
    count "moves" instead of "swaps."
    
    The changes I made affected the following files:
    
    http://www.cs.csustan.edu/~john/Classes/CS3100/Asg02/sortDriverAsg.html
    http://www.cs.csustan.edu/~john/Classes/CS3100/Asg02/ord50.out
    http://www.cs.csustan.edu/~john/Classes/CS3100/Asg02/ran1000.out
    
    If you are working with copies of those files be sure to make updates.
    Don't forget to press the reload or refresh button on your browser so that
    you see the updates.  The new sortDriverAsg.html file tells you what it
    means to count "moves" and "compares."
    
    I'll have a word with the class about this tomorrow.  I guess that will
    take care of your questions.  Anyway let me know during or after class if
    any confusion remains.

    Hi CS 3100 Class --
    
    I put some little tips concerning program #2 here:
    
    http://www.cs.csustan.edu/~john/Classes/CS3100/Asg02/Gotchas.html
    
    Please have a look.  I'll add things there if I think of more.
    
    If you have questions about any of this, please let me know.  If you are
    going to ask by e-mail, it is best to send the e-mail to
    CS3100@waganupa.csustan.edu so that everyone in the class gets to see your
    question and my answer.
    
    Regards.
