Assignment

ssh <netid>@csci112.cs.montana.edu
  • Enter your netid password when prompted.
  • Use mkdir to create a csci112_spring2024 directory.
  • Use cd to navigate into the csci112_spring2024 directory.
  • Use mkdir to create a classwork directory.
  • Use cd to navigate into the classwork directory.
  • Repeat the same process to create a week1 directory and navigate into it.
  • Create another directory inside week1 called fri and navigate into that.
  • Inside fri, use vim to create a file called example.txt. Write any text you like inside of it. Note that if you leave the file entirely blank, it will not be created.
  • You can run the autograder by running (that is, pasting the following into your terminal and pressing enter)
    /public/classwork/week1/fri/autograder.sh
    

The file autograder.txt will be created with your score. Use vim autograder.txt to open it and read its contents.
