Clearly number your solution to each problem. Staple your solutions and bring them to class on the due date. Express your algorithms in pseudo-code when directed. Always provide justification for your answer when asked to give the running time of an algorithm, or when asked to given an algorithm running in a specific time. Be brief and concise, and draw pictures where appropriate.
