7.3 Due Date and Grading

This project is due three weeks from the assignment date, and it is worth 300 points (probably about a quarter of all the project points).

Your program is graded by running feeding test input files and comparing output files with the proper answer. I will make some sample test cases available as soon as possible. The actual test cases I use for grading will not be disclosed. I'll probably also write a simple program that plots the course graphically from the output of your program so you can visualize the path.

The score of your project is based on the proportion of test cases that work. This means a program that works for all test cases get 100% of 300 points (plus or minus early or late adjustments). A program that works for half of the test cases get 50% of 300 points, and a program that does not work for any test cases get 0% of 300 points. Note that a program that does not compile automatically gets 0%.
