======PROJECT: Singly-Linked List of Nodes (SLL3)======

=====OBJECTIVE=====
To continue to enhance our ability to explore various algorithmic and computing realms through the exploration and cultivation of debugging and troubleshooting skills, and collaboratively authoring and documenting the project and its specifications.

=====OVERVIEW=====
Now with our singly-linked list implementation complete, we will perform a baseline tweak for use with the group data structure in sll4 (a group of lists). That particular tweak is the incorporation of a **quantity** element, so each and every transaction upon the list needs to maintain the accuracy of the node count.

=====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:

<cli>
lab46:~/src/SEMESTER/DESIG/prevPROJECT$ make upgrade-sll3
</cli>

=====EDIT=====
You will want to go [[/notes/data/fall2022/projects/sll3|here]] to edit and fill in the various sections of the document:

  * [[/notes/data/fall2022/projects/sll3|https://lab46.g7n.org/notes/data/fall2022/projects/sll3]]

=====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  (assuming you have a  program called
uom0.c):

<cli>
lab46:~/src/SEMESTER/DESIG/PROJECT$ make submit
</cli>

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:

<code>
78:sll3:final tally of results (78/78)
*:sll3:obtained project by the Sunday prior to duedate [13/13]
*:sll3:clean compile, no compiler messages [13/13]
*:sll3:implementation passes unit tests [13/13]
*:sll3:adequate modifications to code from template [13/13]
*:sll3:program operations conform to project specifications [13/13]
*:sll3:code tracked in lab46 semester repo [13/13]
</code>

===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
