Check your homework file headers
Many of the files submitted for HW-4 still have HW-3 in the header. Be careful to check this before you turn things in. It's not a big deal right now--the TAs can catch it--but it can be a problem later. One is that your submission for one homework might get automatically filed away with another already-graded one, and the TAs might miss it. A bigger problem comes once you get to homework that we use an autograder for. If you put the wrong header in the file, it will run the wrong test cases and likely fail. Worse yet, it will overwrite the score recorded for that previous assignment with the presumably lower score the confused autograder gives for this one. We can probably sort it all out afterwards, but please check your headers to save yourself a lot of trouble later.
