Problem Set 3
Collaboration on problem sets is not permitted except to the extent that you may ask classmates and others for help so long as that help does not reduce to another doing your work for you, per the course’s policy on academic honesty.
The staff conducts random audits of submissions to CS50 AP. Students found to be in violation of this policy will be removed from the course. Students who have already completed CS50 AP, if found to be in violation, will have their CS50 Certificate permanently revoked.
What to Do
If you submit both Runoff and Tideman, we’ll record the higher of your two scores. Note that Tideman is optional but challenging!
When to Do It
By the College Board’s AP deadlines for the 2024–2025 academic year.
Advice
- Try out any of David’s programs from class via Week 3’s source code.
- If you see any errors when compiling your code with
make
, focus first on fixing the very first error you see, scrolling up as needed. If unsure what it means, try askinghelp50
for help. For instance, if trying to compileplurality
, andmake plurality
is yielding errors, try running
help50 make plurality
instead!
