HW1 Example

Description:

This project is used as an example of what should be submitted for the first 
homework assignment in cos226.  The student is asked to create an implementation 
of the first child/next sibling tree model.

The project is composed into three sub directories:

src - contains and project source code
tests - contains the JUnit (junit.org) tests for the project
lib - contains the libraries used by the project

The main components of the src directory are the classes that make up the 
package edu.umaine.cs.cos226.  They are 

Tree.java
TreeNode.java

Additionally, the student is asked to create

MyTree.java
MyTreeNode.java

that extend Tree and TreeNode.

Compilation:

The project may be compiled by typing

make

at the command line.  This will create the executable script runTests.  

Execution:

By typing

runTests

at the command line, a series of JUnit tests will be performed to ensure that the 
the tree is implemented correctly.  Only a few tests have been given in this 
example, and the student is expected to expand on the tests to ensure the tree 
implementation is correct.
