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.
Step 1) Install Qt Creator
Your first task is to configure your computer for Qt Creator, the development environment that we'll be using in CS106B this quarter. Follow the instructions in the Qt Installation Guide for your operating system.
If you run into trouble installing Qt Creator, don't panic! Head TA Nick will be holding a Qt Creator help session virtually on Zoom from 7:00PM – 9:00PM PDT on Thursday, April 9.
Step 2) Download starter project
We will configure a starter project with the files needed for each assignment and post it in the form of a ZIP archive. Download the archive and unzip.
- 📦 Starter code
Step 3) Hash your name
Open the project in Qt Creator and build and run the program. 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. 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!
Step 4) Use the debugger
Open the Assign 0 debugger tutorial. This wonderful guide written by Keith Schwarz walks you through using the debugger on the Name Hash program. Follow along with the step-by-step instructions. At some point, you'll be asked to remember a number. Write this number down; you'll need it to complete the assignment!
Step 5) Read about the Honor Code
You are required to read our handout CS106B and the Honor Code before submitting assignments. Do this now before proceeding to the final step.
Step 6) Submit
Once you've finished everything, fill out the form at the following URL:

This form will ask for the numbers from Steps 3 and 4, along with some questions about who you are, why you're awesome, and what your learning environment will look like this quarter. And that's it! You're done!
