#----------------------------------------------------------------------- BEGIN INSTRUCTIONS: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING THE EXERCISE. IMPORTANT: Ask one of us (Matt, Amanda, Arman) if something isn't clear to you, or if you encounter difficulties completing the exercise. However, note that some effort has been expended in an attempt to specify precisely what you are to do, so try to complete the assignment on your own as much as possible. After you have copied this template file to your home directory, use the kate application to modify it to include the answers/solutions to the problems which follow these instructions, then follow the testing procedure described below (iterating as necessary) to ensure that you have successfully completed the task (at least minimally). Every answer must include a line which is PRECISELY of the form ANSWER ] Let us call such a line an "ANSWER line". Here is "meta-notation" (we will use such notation throughout the course), meaning that the ENTIRE string (including the < and >) is to be replaced by 1, 2, 3, ... with the integer used matching that of the question. The text of the ANSWER line MUST a) Begin in the first column of the line. b) Contain only a single space (blank) between ANSWER and There are no particular restrictions on the format for the answers per se, except that a) They must NOT appear on any ANSWER LINE. b) They MUST appear BETWEEN the ANSWER lines for the corresponding question and the subsequent question (except for the case of the last question where, of course, there is no subsequent question.) Questions 1 and 2 have been answered for you as illustrative examples. Do not modify the answers. TESTING PROCEDURE Once you think that you have finished, open a new terminal window and type the following commands---as with the previous exercise, do NOT type the prompt character (%). % ~phys210/bin/check-exercise2 If this results in the message ...
