Problem Set Instructions

This course will have 10 problem sets all of which will involve writing programs in OCaml. Unless specified otherwise, students are expected to work individually on the problem sets. Students are encouraged to discuss problem sets with their peers and the use the Piazza web site. Where is the line that's not to be crossed? Everyone should be able to walk away from a discussion without having recorded code or diagrams, everyone should understand it well enough to reproduce the solution on their own.

We will be using the OCaml programming language running on a (rather large!) virtual unix machine. Problem set 1 includes instructions for installing the virtual machine on your computer. The virtual machine includes the Sublime Text text editor configured for editting OCaml code. It also includes the Emacs editor configured for editting OCaml code. You can use either one.

We will also be using a library of OCaml resources, i.e., the Universe for working with graphics and animation. sets of libraries of OCaml code. Installing the virtual machine is part of the first problem set and will be covered in detail in the first lab meeting.

In order to solve a problem set, create a folder named with your surname followed by the problem set number. For example, I would use a folder named Muller1 for problem set 1. All of the java source files for your program should be housed in that folder. When your program is complete and you are ready to submit it, control-click on the folder and you will see an option to Compress the folder. This will create a zip file that you can upload to the appropriate folder on the course Canvas website.

Unless specified otherwise, problem sets must be submitted for grading by midnight on the specified due date. Extensions for problem set deadlines are granted only for documented medical problems or other family emergencies. See the Grading page for a description of the late policy.
