General remarks

1. Solutions should be submitted as printed hard-copy. It is left to you to decide whether to write your solution as an applet or an application. But please note that you will be assessed principally in the present course on the implementation of the algorithms and data-structures, rather than on the user-interface.
2. Your code should follow consistent conventions, and you are invited to consult Sun's Java Code Conventions. You are not obliged to follow these, but they are highly recommended.
3. You should include brief comments with your code. For the purpose of this assignment there is no need to describe the general purpose of the code in detail. But brief comments should be included to help a reader (including yourself, possibly, at some future date) to understand your implementation. See, for example, the Comments section in the Java Code Conventions.
4. As always, you should be familiar with the rules on plagiarism and collusion (see §7 of the BSc Handbook for Candidates.You may discuss general issues with others, but the code you submit must be your own. Note also that fabrication of results also constitutes misconduct. Solutions will be examined carefully for misconduct under each of these headings.
5. The rules about late submissions, evidence of impairment etc. are in §6 of the BSc Handbook for Candidates.
