CS520
Spring 2015
Laboratory 2
Monday February 2
Because of the snow day on February 2 the lab due date is now Thursday February 5.

Test your current utf8to16 and utf16to8 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 utf8to16.c utf16to8.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.

Because of the snow day, all students will be given credit for attending lab.

Remember that there are no late submissions of labs. Submit what you have prior to 8am on Thursday February 5.
