Grading rubric:

• 50% on correctness - does the program provide the right answers and is the output formatted in a reasonable way? If a program does not compile, you will receive 0 points for correctness and so your grade will be no better than 50
• 20% on commenting - did you comment your program adequately? If you have no comments, you will receive 0 points for this part of your grade. Here are two examples of the same program. The first has poor commenting (and would probably only receive 5-10 points out of the 20 available) and the second is much better commented and would receive full credit. You do not have to comment your programs as thoroughly as this second program does but it is a good habit to get into.
• 20% on program efficiency - is your program code organized in a way so that your program is efficient? There are many ways to write a program, some better than others.
• 10% on readability of the code and output - did you follow proper indentation, naming convention, is your output formatted reasonably?
