Programming exercise

Prerequisites:

• UNIX-like OS, or WSL for Windows
• gcc, g++ >= 11
• CMake >= 3.19 ¹
• python and the package matplotlib (alternatively, you can use pipenv ² and the provided Pipfile)

Usage

Implement your solution in src/, and describe it in description.md. You can also adjust the evaluation code in framework/ and eval.py, if you want.

1. Compile your code using

cmake --preset release
cmake --build --preset release

2. Run the experiment via eval.py run. The output will be written to result.txt.

python ./eval.py run result.txt
# or
cmake --build --preset release --target run

3. Create a plot via eval.py plot. This will create a PDF file named plot.pdf.

python ./eval.py plot results.txt
# or
cmake --build --preset release --target plot

4. Describe your solution in description.md.

5. Using cmake, create submission.zip, which will contain your source code, description and plots.

cmake --build --preset release --target submission
