Languages

The ACM contest has stated that it will support four languages: pascal, C, C++, and java. At the moment, the automatic grading script only supports grading with g++, i.e., files ending in .cc. I would like to add grading with gcc and java -- if you're interested in using those languages, let me know. (For the moment, we'll use manual checking of your submissions for those languages.)

Submission

Be sure to name your file the same as the name of the problem, and then type

acmSubmit <filename>.cc

where acmSubmit is available in /cs/ACM/SubScripts. You should run acmSubmit from the directory in which your submission file is located (due to my limited understanding of Perl).

The script will test your file against a number of inputs. Unlike the ACM contest, if your submission's output differs from the "correct" output, the differences will be shown to you. This is a protection against the "correct" output not actually being correct. If your program passes all of the tests the script will let you know. It will also email me in order to help me keep track of which problems are already solved.

Compiling your code:

While testing your code, you can compile with the command

g++ filename.cc

to create an executable file named a.out.

To check your program, download the input and output files (right-click on the links and choose"save link as...") or create your own test inputs, and then run

a.out < <testfilename>

That will print the results to the console (stdout) for inspection. You might also pipe the results to a file and check them against the anticipated output with diff.
