Fall Quarter 2000

Overview

In this lab, you will modify your program from lab 4 to use a hash table (developed in lab 5) to store the dictionary instead of the STL set.

Procedures

Simply do what is explained in the overview above.

Remember that extra credit will be awarded to the team that produces the best wordsearch game by the beginning of the week 10 lab. The best game will be determined by a class vote during the week 10 lab.

Lab report (due 11:00pm, the day prior to week 10 lab)

Your report should include:

• Your design documentation.
• The Documented source code for your program.
  You may find it useful to use the code.bat and dump.bat batch files to produce one file containing all of your source code with the markup commands required by my electronic submission process.
• Sample program output.
• A brief description of any problems you encountered or questions you have regarding the lab.
• A discussion of what each team member accomplished.
• A summary of your activity log indicating how much time you spent on the assignment. In addition to the total time spent on the project, please report the time in the following categories:
  • Design
  • Coding
  • Debug (before you think it's working)
  • Test (after you think it's working)
  • Documentation
  • Other
• Any suggestions you have for how the lab could be improved.

As with any report you submit, correct spelling and grammar are required. In addition, your report should be submitted electronically following the Electronic submission guidelines. (You may wish to consult the sample report before submitting your report.) Be sure to keep copies of all your files, in case something gets lost. It may be wise to keep a diskette backup as well.

Your grade will depend on quality of design, clarity of code and documentation, as well as whether your program produces the correct results. If you have any questions, consult your instructor.
