 =====Execution=====
+====Sample run using multiplication====
 <cli>
-lab46:~/src/c4eng/dow0$ ./dow0
+lab46:~/src/c4eng/mtf0$ ./mtf0
-Which year: 2014
+Which operation ('+' or '*'): *
-January 1st, 2014 falls on: Wednesday
+Row (0-9): 4
-lab46:~/src/c4eng/dow0$
+Starting Column (0-9): 1
+Ending Column (0-9): 5
+:  4  8 12 16 20

 </cli>
 The execution of the program is short and simple- obtain the input, do the processing, produce the output, and then terminate.
-====Output Specifications====
+====Sample run using addition====
-Your program must output as follows:
+<cli>
+lab46:~/src/c4eng/mtf0$ ./mtf0
+Which operation ('+' or '*'): +
+Row (0-9): 5
+Starting Column (0-9): 2
+Ending Column (0-9): 7
+:  7  8  9 10 11 12
+lab46:~/src/c4eng/mtf0$
+</cli>
-  * Input prompts, and everything else except the actual day of the week should be output to STDERR
+====Sample run with invalid operation given====
-  * The calculated day of the week needs to be displayed to STDOUT
+<cli>
-  * The output MUST contain the "January 1st, YEAR" string
+lab46:~/src/c4eng/mtf0$ ./mtf0
-    * YEAR must be all 4 digits, exactly as input by the user
+Which operation ('+' or '*'): x
-  * The calculated day of the week must be fully spelled out and correct, with the first letter capitalized, remaining letters lowercase.
+ERROR: Must specify either '+' or '*'.
-=====Reflection=====
+lab46:~/src/c4eng/mtf0$
-Be sure to provide any commentary on your journal regarding realizations had and discoveries made during your pursuit of this project.
+</cli>
-  * Try this algorithm on some years in the 20th century and see how it fares.
+====Sample run with invalid column configuration====
-    * Is it correct? Is it correct for any of them?
+<cli>
-    * If it isn't correct, is it consistently off by a value?
+lab46:~/src/c4eng/mtf0$ ./mtf0
+Which operation ('+' or '*'): +
+Row (0-9): 5
+Starting Column (0-9): 7
+Ending Column (0-9): 2
+ERROR: Starting column is greater than ending column
+lab46:~/src/c4eng/mtf0$

-This isn't just about implementing a particular algorithm, it is about understanding an algorithm- its domain of correctness, and its limitations.
