Handing in Listings
To hand in program code - make sure that the lines don't wrap on paper. To ensure this, decide on your line-length, e.g 80 chars. If your source code goes beyond this, break the line. In java, C, C++ you can break it anywhere - but not in the middle of a word. In VB, break the line with a space followed by an underscore_ (i.e. shift - ). In Python, end the line with a \

Don't use the tab key to indent - except if you use Python! (If you use tabs in VB, C++, Java, ensure that your programming system is set to replace tabs by spaces). Four spaces per indent is OK.

Use a fixed pitch font, in which each character occupies the same space so w and i are the same width. A suitable font is courier new.

If you bind the work, ensure that the left of the page is visible - i.e. that the margin is wide enough.
