Sorry if this was mentioned in class, but I don't remember it and didn't
notice it in the notes.

Basically the code 'int (*fixup)(int) = myfixup1' works, but the code
'fixup = myfixup1' doesn't seem to compile. Are routine pointers
constants or am I using the wrong syntax?

Thanks.

Are we allowed to replace the fixup parametre with soem kind of flag?

The instructions for the makefile in the submission guidelines was missing the
"fixup" target for question 2, so I added it and put up a new version of the
assignment.

FYI, it seems submit is wanting a q2.txt, but the assignment states that
it wants q2.(h,cc,C,cpp)

"FYI: q2*.txt NOT found as a file in ...".

Which also raises the question, should we include q2 in our Makefile? And
if so, what should we call the output?

I probably should have asked this for A1, but anyway...when we are asked
to "explain the relative differences...", I don't want to write too much
when I don't need to, so my question is: Do we just explain what we saw,
or do we additionally explain WHY we think that is?

Also, putting no command line value works just fine for desired times, is
this okay to keep using this or are we required to use some other command
line value (I guess it doesn't really matter, just want to make sure)
Thanks!

The bullet mentions doing time tests with O2 on, but it doesn't say
anything about the Makefile we should be submitting. My assumption was
that this was only a temporary flag for 4b and shouldn't be used in our
final submit, but it doesn't really state one way or the other.

Similarly, I assume the code we submit for q4 should be from before we
commented out all the cout statements?

Thanks.

For questions 3 and 4 it says we do not need to provide program or testing
documentation. Do we still need to write something for User and System
documentation?

I was wondering if the uw.cs.cs343 newsgroup will be available as part of
Google Groups (ie: be placed on the public usenet). I have found that courses
which do not make the newsgroup publicly available have a much lower use. For
my current term CS 343 is the only newsgroup which cannot be accessed through
Google Groups and in order to view and post to it from both my Windows and
Linux machines I need to create an SSH tunnel to the school's network which
is annoying and time consuming.

If the newsgroup will not be made publicly available is there a particular
reason why?

Here is the best answer I could find. If anyone knows more please let me know.

Hello,

This may sound like a stupid question but I am unsure what is meant by the
term "expressions" in the assignment: "Rewrite the following C++ code
fragment using ONLY expressions (including & and |)"

Could someone please tell me what this means?
