Assignment 1

The aim of this assignment is to get familiarized with git, basic Unix commands, and the assignment submission process. I've recorded a YouTube video that walks you through this process for the this first assignment. The assignment submission process is the same for all assignments so you might find it to be a useful reference in the future as well:

Instructions

1. Open the assignment in a Github Codespace.

2. In the using the file browser or the Terminal command window, create a new text file solution.txt.

3. Open the new file solution.txt with a text editor and enter the following text exactly as it appears: Hello, World!.

4. Commit the new file to the repository and push assignment1 and the changes you made back to github.com.

Using Copilot for submission

First, create solution.txt yourself and enter the required text. After learning the corresponding Terminal commands, ask Copilot to perform the submission workflow with this bounded prompt:

Run git status and confirm that only solution.txt is new or modified. Run python test.py. If the test passes, commit only solution.txt with the message Complete assignment 1 and push the current branch to GitHub. If another file has changed, the test fails, or the push fails, stop and tell me instead.

Independently verify the result by running git status and git log -1 --oneline. On GitHub, confirm that the commit appears and that the Actions result passes.

Testing

If you would like to check to see if your solution is correct, in the Terminal command window run

python test.py

A status message of OK indicates you have the correct answer.
