 ======Project: Hello World!======
-A project for CSCS1320S14 by Alana Whittier during the Spring 2014.
+A project for CSCS1320S14 by Alana Whittier during the Spring 2014 Semester.
-This project was begun in lab on January 23, 2014. It took about 10 minutes to complete although I presume it would have taken significantly less time if I were more experienced with Unix/Linux as well as C programming language.
+This project was begun in lab on January 23, 2014. It took about 10 minutes to complete although I presume it would have taken significantly less time if I were more experienced with Unix/Linux Terminal, as well as C programming language.
 =====Objectives=====
-The purpose of this project was to familiarize us with both the C programming language as well as the Unix/Linux environment. To become comfortable with finding the working directory, listing the source directory, saving script within the current directory, and compiling the script with GCC, are the primary reasons this project was assigned.
+The purpose of this project was to familiarize us with both the C programming language as well as the Unix/Linux environment. If the program is written correctly, a standard input/output header file is included, the main function is defined, and a string of text will be generated.

 =====Background=====
-State the idea or purpose of the project. What are you attempting to pursue?
+"Hello World!" is a simple program used in a variety of program languages to serve as an introduction and first program to help familiarize the new user with various aspects of the program, such as syntax, libraries, functions, etc. In this course, C programming, this basic program is also used to call the standard input/output header file, define the main function, and print a string of character text with the compiler, assuming correct Syntax is used.
-Upon approval, you'll want to fill this section out with more detailed background information. DO NOT JUST PROVIDE A LINK.
-Providing any links to original source material, such as from a project page, is a good idea.
-You'll want to give a general overview of what is going to be accomplished (for example, if your project is about installing a web server, do a little write-up on web servers. What is it, why do we need one, how does it work, etc.)
 =====Scope=====
-Give a general overview of your anticipated implementation of the project. Address any areas where you are making upfront assumptions or curtailing potential detail. State the focus you will be taking in implementation.
+The scope of this project is to write a program where a character string "Hello World" is returned if compiled successfully.
 =====Attributes=====
 State and justify the attributes you'd like to receive upon successful approval and completion of this project.
-  * attribute1: why you feel your pursuit of this project will gain you this attribute
+  * attribute1: Upon successful compilation of the program, "Hello World!" will display on the screen.

 =====Execution=====
-Again, if there is associated code with the project, and you haven't already indicated how to run it, provide a sample run of your code:
 <cli>
-lab46:~/src/cprog$ ./hello
+lab46:~/src/cscs1320$ ./helloM-D
 Hello, World!
-lab46:~/src/cprog$
+lab46:~/src/cscs1320$
 </cli>
 =====Reflection=====
-Comments/thoughts generated through performing the project, observations made, analysis rendered, conclusions wrought. What did you learn from doing this project?
+When I consider this project, while quite simple and relatively easy to understand, the most difficult part to me was working remotely in Lab46 from home. It required a bit of work to learn to save in a Windows (DOS) format to compile and execute the code.
