== Required Files ==
<!--<b>NOTE: It's not necessary to download these files if you are cloning a repository provided by your professor!</b>-->There are two files that we are providing to youwithin the assignment repository [clone it to get these files]:* <!--[https://ict.senecacollege.ca/~eric.brauer/ops445/a1/assign1.py assign1.py] --> '''assign1.py''' - contains starter code for your assignment. You should commit all of your code to this file.* <!--[https://ict.senecacollege.ca/~eric.brauer/ops445/a1/checkA1.py checkA1.py] --> '''CheckA1.py''' - is a check script that will help you evaluate your assignment. For full marks, your assignment should pass all checks.
== The First Milestone - BB only!!! (Due October 15February 18) ==* Before you begin programming, it is important to plan your algorithm. Therefore your first task will be to complete and submit an algorithm document. This document should be named '''algorithm_[student_id]algorithm_youruserid.txt'''. This file should be plaintext. The document will contain two sections:
* A description of how the "after()" function works. The "after()" function is provided to you in the assign1.py template. Open the file, and use clear English to describe what line of code does in such a way that a competent programmer could reproduce the code without seeing it firsthand.
* You will then apply the same principles to create an algorithm for "before()", and "dbda()".
* You should also do some research to find out when we started using the Calendar in the current form. (This will pose a limit on the validity of your algorithm.)
== The Second Milestone (Due October 22Februrary 25) ==
For the second milestone, you will be asked to have committed the following functions inside the assign1.py file inside your repository:
* before()
It's not necessary to submit these functions to Blackboard. If you have pushed the commits correctly, the changes will be visible to your professor.
== The Assignment (Due November 5March 9) ==
* As stated before, your code will be inside the file "assign1.py". The first step will be to clone (or create) the Assignment 1 repository. Further instructions will be provided by your professor. Additional requirements are outlined below.
Please submit the following files by the due date:
* [ ] your algorithm document, named as 'algorithm_usernamealgorithm_youruserid.txt', to Blackboard. This is your first milestone.* [ ] your python script, named as 'assign1.py', should be included in your repository, and also '''submitted to Blackboard.'''* [ ] the output of the checking script checkA1'CheckA1.py', named as 'a1_output.txt', should be included in your repository.
