Make sure that your name appears in all files that you turn in.

How to turn it in

Regardless of where your code runs, turn in your submission electronically using your CSE account. Create a directory containing only the files that you want to turn in. Use the submit command to send the files to the grader. If your directory is called lab4, the syntax of the submit command is:

> submit c732aa lab4 lab4

I recommend keeping the confirmation message that the submit command sends to you as a documentation of the time you submitted.
