======PROJECT: Lists - Doubly-Linked Queues (DLQ0)======
=====OBJECTIVE=====
Onto Queues! Another very commonly used data structure, we will be building it atop our list.
Don't forget to contribute to project documentation! That helps to ensure everyone is invested in the project.
=====OVERVIEW=====
Our queue, like our stack, will in many ways be a restricted-access list: access with the queue functions will only manipulate the list at certain points, creating a consistency we don't have with full-access lists.
Queues are a First In, Last Out structure (or Last In, First Out), and understanding the value that provides is key to effectively leveraging this data structure.
=====UPGRADING=====
To assist with consistency across all implementations, project files for use with this project, along with the integration of the work you did on the last project, is made possible via a special recipe in the Makefile.
Simply go into the project base directory, and run:
lab46:~/src/SEMESTER/DESIG/prevPROJECT$ make upgrade-dlq0
=====EDIT=====
You will want to go [[/notes/data/fall2022/projects/dlq0|here]] to edit and fill in the various sections of the document:
* [[/notes/data/fall2022/projects/dlq0|https://lab46.g7n.org/notes/data/fall2022/projects/dlq0]]

=====SUBMISSION=====
To be successful in this project, the following criteria (or their equivalent) must be met:
* Project must be submit on time, by the deadline.
* Late submissions will lose 33% credit per day, with the submission window closing on the 3rd day following the deadline.
* All code must compile cleanly (no warnings or errors)
* Compile with the **-Wall** and **--std=gnu18** compiler flags
* all requested functionality must conform to stated requirements (either on this document or in a comment banner in source code files themselves).
* Executed programs must display in a manner similar to provided output
* output formatted, where applicable, must match that of project requirements
* Processing must be correct based on input given and output requested
* Output, if applicable, must be correct based on values input
* Code must be nicely and consistently indented
* Code must be consistently written, to strive for readability from having a consistent style throughout
* Code must be commented
* Any "to be implemented" comments **MUST** be removed
* these "to be implemented" comments, if still present at evaluation time, will result in points being deducted.
* Sufficient comments explaining the point of provided logic **MUST** be present
* No global variables (without instructor approval), no goto statements, no calling of main()!
* Track/version the source code in your lab46 semester repository
* Submit a copy of your source code to me using the **submit** tool (**make submit** on lab46 will do this) by the deadline.
====Submit Tool Usage====
Let's say you have completed work on the project, and are ready to
submit, you would do the following:
lab46:~/src/SEMESTER/DESIG/PROJECT$ make submit
You should get some sort of confirmation indicating successful submission
if all went according to plan. If not, check for typos and or locational
mismatches.
=====RUBRIC=====
I'll be evaluating the project based on the following criteria:
91:dlq0:final tally of results (91/91)
*:dlq0:obtained project by the Sunday prior to duedate [6/6]
*:dlq0:clean compile, no compiler messages [13/13]
*:dlq0:implementation passes unit tests [13/13]
*:dlq0:adequate modifications to code from template [26/26]
*:dlq0:program operations conform to project specifications [26/26]
*:dlq0:code tracked in lab46 semester repo [7/7]
===Pertaining to the collaborative authoring of project documentation===
* each class member is to participate in the contribution of relevant information and formatting of the documentation
* minimal member contributions consist of:
* near the class average edits (a value of at least four productive edits)
* near the average class content change average (a value of at least 256 bytes (absolute value of data content change))
* near the class content contribution average (a value of at least 1kiB)
* no adding in one commit then later removing in its entirety for the sake of satisfying edit requirements
* adding and formatting data in an organized fashion, aiming to create an informative and readable document that anyone in the class can reference
* content contributions will be factored into a documentation coefficient, a value multiplied against your actual project submission to influence the end result:
* no contributions, co-efficient is 0.50
* less than minimum contributions is 0.75
* met minimum contribution threshold is 1.00
===Additionally===
* Solutions not abiding by spirit of project will be subject to a 50% overall deduction
* Solutions not utilizing descriptive why and how comments will be subject to a 25% overall deduction
* Solutions not utilizing indentation to promote scope and clarity or otherwise maintaining consistency in code style and presentation will be subject to a 25% overall deduction
* Solutions not organized and easy to read (assume a terminal at least 90 characters wide, 40 characters tall) are subject to a 25% overall deduction
