Programming Assignment #1

You were given a program (a hardcopy and on disk) written by Dr. Kaplan to perform DNA string matching. You have been instructed to translate this program into C++ and have properly compiling and executing by Feb. 13, 2002. Submit a hard copy and a copy on disk. Be prepared to run the program for Dr. Kaplan at a specified date.

Programming Assignment #2

You are given today three programs on disk all related to Waterman's DNA string matching algorithm that was programmed in pascal by Dr. Kaplan. Translate one of these (to be determined by Dr. Kaplan) and program into C++. Have it properly compiling and executing by Feb. 21, 2002. Submit a hard copy and a copy on disk. Be prepared to run the program for Dr. Kaplan at a specified date.

Goal

The goal of these assignments is to compare different string matching algorithms. These algorithms will be contrasted in the future with the hope that we will be able to publish the results.
