Assignment due date: Friday, April 7th, 2017, Noon

Welcome to CS106B! This assignment is designed to help you get your development environment set up and running so that you can compile, run, and debug programs. There isn't any actual programming involved, and we hope that this doesn't take you too much time to complete.
This assignment must be completed individually. Working in groups is not permitted.

Steps:
  1. Download and Install Qt Creator
    Your first task is to download and install Qt Creator, the development environment that we'll be using in CS106B this quarter. To do so, click the “Setting Up Qt Creator” link under the “resources” section on the CS106B website (http://cs106b.stanford.edu) and follow the instructions there.
    If you run into trouble installing Qt Creator, don't panic! We'll be holding a special set of LaIR hours on Thursday, April 6th specifically to help with Qt Creator issues.
  2. Download the Name Hasher Program

    NameHash Project ZIP

    (open NameHash.pro)
  3. Hash Your Name!
    Compile and run the program you've just downloaded. It will ask you to enter your (preferred) first and last names. When you do, it will give back a hash code, a special number associated with your name (we will discuss hash codes in CS106B!). You can think of your hash code as a “fingerprint” associated with your name that's unlikely to be the same as anyone else's fingerprint. Write this number down; you'll need it to complete the assignment!
  4. Use the Debugger!
    Download the following PDF:

    Debugger Tutorial

    This tutorial will walk you through how to use the debugger to run program you just downloaded one step at a time. Follow the instructions in that guide. At some point, you'll be asked to write down a number. Write this number down; you'll need it to complete the assignment!

  5. Read about the Honor Code
    You are required to read the handout on the Stanford Honor Code on the CS106B website before submitting assignments in this class. Take a minute to read over it before proceeding to the final step.
  6. Make an account at CodeStepByStep.com
    Please go to the following website and create an account. We will be using CodeStepByStep this quarter (minimally) so that you can get practice on the topics we cover.

  7. Submit Everything! Once you've finished everything, fill out the form at the following URL:

    This form will ask for the numbers from Step Three and Step Four, along with some questions about the Honor Code, who you are and why you're so great. And that's it! You're done!
