Spring 2000 PIC 10a HW1 FAQ Page

General questions and answers for this homework will be placed here as they arise.

Will I get penalized for adding features to my program not in the spec?

As long as your program does everything specified in the spec you should receive full credit.

Is it okay to use switch/case rather than if/else statements in this homework?

Yes.

Do I need to use any looping on this assignment?

No. Your program is only expected to do one conversion and then stop. If the user makes an illegal input, it should print an error and stop. If you do looping you will of course not lose any point, under the general principle of the first question in this FAQ.
