CS520
Spring 2014
Laboratory 2
Monday February 3
The lab must be submitted prior to 8am on Tuesday February 4.

Test your current decodeUTF8 and encodeUTF8 programs on correct encodings of Unicode characters from the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP).

There are a few test files available on agate in ~cs520/public/lab2. But you should consider doing exhaustive testing, since there are only 64K Unicode characters in the BMP. How can you do this?

To turn in this laboratory, type: 

% ~cs520/bin/submit lab2 decodeUTF8.c encodeUTF8.c

Submissions can be checked by typing: 

% ~cs520/bin/scheck lab2

60 points will be awarded for correctly handling UTF-8 one-byte encodings, 20 additional points will be awarded for also correctly handling two-byte encodings, and another 20 additional points will be awarded for also correctly handling three-byte encodings.

Remember that there are no late submissions of labs. Submit what you have prior to 8am on Tuesday February 4.
