The average was 14.5 out of 20.

The programs were marked by checking them against 20 test cases. Each
test case that was solved correctly within 3.3 seconds (allowing for a
10% leeway in CPU time) was worth 1 mark. One test case came from the
assignment handout. Four others were manually constructed and
consisted of small numbers, so that suboptimal solutions should be
able to get partial marks. Two test cases specifically tested for
problems involving larger numbers within the specified range of
inputs. The others were constructed randomly and automatically.

In your report, each case is listed as one of the following:
good - correct and within time limit
over time - correct but over time limit
incorrect or timed out - incorrect solution, or the program did not
end after 6 secs and was manually terminated.

One major problem was that many students did not format the input or
output according to the assignment handout. In particular, the program
should not print any extra text at all, and must terminate upon
printing the solution. Since this was the first programming
assignment, I reconfigured the automarker to handle minor formatting
errors, but I will not do this for the second programming assignment,
so you have been warned! I did not try to fix errors with compiling or
where the program did not terminate correctly. You should check that
your program compiles without needing any additional package or
directory structure. In particular, here are the commands that I used
to compile and run your programs.

C:
gcc ./PA1sol.c -o ./PA1sol.exe
./PA1sol.exe

C++:
g++ ./PA1sol.cc -o ./PA1sol.exe
./PA1sol.exe

Java:
javac ./PA1sol.java
java PA1sol

Python:
<No compilation necessary.>
python ./PA1sol.py

Please make sure your programs compile and run for PA2.
