(12/28) The results of the final exam. (answer paper)
Each multiple choice question (select one or more answer choices) is worth 4 points, and each question has four choices. You get -2 points whenever your choice is different from the correct answer, until the score of this question reaches 0. For example, suppose the correct answer is BE. If your answer is B, you get 2 points. If your answer is BC, you get 0 points.
The course has ended and there is no need to attend classes.
Final exam results will be announced on the course website on 12/28.
(12/25) The results of Assignment 5.
Test all the samples if your accuracy is not 100.

(12/12) The results of Assignment 4.
Test all the input-output samples if your accuracy is not 100.
If you pass all input-output samples, but your accuracy is not 100, check that all variables are properly initialized.
-1 means the program cannot be compiled.
-2 or 0 means output format error. Do not output line breaks that are not required by the assignment. For example, do not output line breaks in computeSemesterGrades(). Second example,
cout << "Enter the scores for each student:\n";
The above output addtional line break \n, which leads to output format error. Below is the statement from code template, which does not output line breaks.
cout << "Enter the scores for each student: ";
-3 means output format error. Do not output any characters that are not required by the assignment. You can use below for debugging, but when submitting assignments, you need to turn off below.
displayOriginalGrades(studentGrades, numberStudents);

If your accuracy is not 100, then
Carefully read each line of Assignment 1 from beginning to end.
Test all the input-output samples.
-1 means your program cannot be compiled.
-2 means the output format of your program is wrong.
It is recommended that you modify the code template to complete this asssignment.
If your accuracy is zero, it could be attributed to unitialized variables and other bugs.
In C and C++, local variables aren't initialized by default. Uninitialized variables can contain any value, and their use leads to undefined behavior.
