ABSTRACT

Programming assignments are used to assess a student's understanding of the theoretical aspect of programming and their ability to put that theory into practice. When assigning programs for students to complete, it is necessary to make sure that the problem is well specified, realistic, yet is able to be completed in a relatively short period of time. In addition, each assignment should require the use of a different technique. Developing new problems for each assignment is no...
