CPSC 421-020 Object-Oriented Programming Spring 2026

Week 2 Class 2 Tue Jan 20 Posted: Jan 20

After Class

• Exercise 5: Rainfall I

  • I posted a feedback report, Report1.md, in your repository under the branch feedback. I strongly suggest looking at it on GitHub:

  • I posted the scores and any additional comments in Brightspace

  Points were taken off for:

  • Differences between your code for a commit and my code in the example
  • Not following the exact format of the header comment
  • Typos in words
  • Less or more than 3 commits
  • Wrong form of the action in the commit message. It is "Add", not "Added", "Adding", or "add".

  Also, do not use term "assignment" or "exercise" in your code. We simulate working on real code.

  If you have spacing or wording to fix, you can fix them. However, these commits must start with the word "Fix". Not "Fixing", "Fixed", or "fix", but "Fix".
