Group Members
// TODO: Create a tutorial on how to debug parallel programs using OpenMP in Visual Studio
// remember to add pictures if possible
// Steps
1. Read the Microsoft Documentation for your section
2. Paraphrase the contents of your section onto the Wiki
3. Test it yourself in Visual Studio and add examples
// Uploading Files
To upload a file, go to https://wiki.cdot.senecacollege.ca/wiki/Special:Upload
To include a file in a page, use a link in one of the following forms:
- ```File:File.jpg``` to use the full version of the file
- `````` to use a 200 pixel wide rendition in a box in the left margin with "alt text" as descriptionFile:File.pngalt text
- ```Media:File.ogg``` for directly linking to the file without displaying the file

// can probably just take something from course notes and modify it to fit our parameters
