Summary of "CS301P Assignment 1 Solution Spring 2026 | CS301P Assignment 1 Solution 2026 | KST Learning"

Main ideas / concepts taught

The video is a step-by-step walkthrough to complete CS301P Assignment 1 (Spring 2026) using C++.

It includes guidance on:

• Setting up and creating a .cpp source file in Dev-C++
• Writing a stack using a linked list
• Implementing stack operations and additional functions:
  • Counting odd numbers
  • Summing even numbers
• Writing a main() function to demonstrate the required behavior and produce expected output
• Compiling/running the program and submitting the correct .cpp file to the LMS

Methodology / instructions

1) Assignment information and logistics

• The assignment is for CS301P Practical
• Due date: 1 May 2026
• Total marks: 20
• “Paid help” note mentioned:
  • On the due date, fees double
  • Booking numbers are limited because the LMS is down (as stated)
  • Viewers are advised to contact before the due date
• Contact information is said to be in the video description (creator’s number and team numbers).

2) Prerequisites (tools)

• You need the Dev-C++ IDE (the video uses it)
• A link to a related Dev-C++ setup/install video is referenced in the description
• If Dev-C++ is not installed, download and install it.

3) Create and save the Dev-C++ file (.cpp)

1. Open Dev-C++ (double-click the icon).
2. You’ll see an empty window.
3. Click:
   • File → New → Source File
4. Type some random text (to proceed with saving).
5. Click Save:
   • Choose Desktop as the save location
   • Use your VUID as part of the filename (the video gives a generic example format)
6. Save so you have a .cpp file on the desktop.
7. Remove the random text.
8. Paste your final code.
9. Save again using Control + S.

4) Paste the complete C++ code

• The instructor copies the full code and pastes it into the new file.
• Viewers are instructed to:
  • Write the code exactly as shown
  • Be careful with syntax—even one semicolon error can break everything
  • Pause the video while copying/writing

5) Structure of the code (what each part is for)

a) Node and linked-list basics

• Include for iostream is mentioned:
  • #include <iostream> (described in words)
• Use of namespace std is included.
• A Node class is described:
  • Represents an element in the linked structure
  • Stores fields needed for the stack’s nodes

b) Stack class implemented using a linked list

• A stack class is created (described as a “Stack of the Number Stack class”).
• It uses a private pointer named top:
  • top points to the current top of the stack
• Constructor:
  • Sets top to null
  • Emphasis is placed on correct spelling/capitalization of top

c) Stack operations

• push(value):
  • Adds a new value onto the stack (insert above the current top)
• pop():
  • Removes a value from the stack (LIFO behavior implied)
• display():
  • Displays the current stack values

6) Additional required computation functions

• countOdds() (counting odd values):

  • Checks values in the stack
  • Counts how many are odd
  • Displays the count/result

• sumEven() (summing even values):

  • Collects/sums the even values from the stack
  • Displays/returns the result as “Sum of Even Numbers”

Note: The subtitles mention some confusion between “counting” vs “sum,” but the expected output shown includes “Sum of Even Numbers: 84.”

7) main() function logic (demonstration)

The video describes these steps:

• Display the student’s own VUID at the start of output
• Create a stack object, e.g.:
  • Stack s;
• Push the values into the stack:
  • 9, 15, 21, 24, 26, 29, 34
• Display:
  • Total odd numbers
  • Sum of even numbers
• Call pop() three times (LIFO order):
  • Removes 34, then 29, then 26
• Display the remaining stack values again.

Note: The subtitles mention remaining values that include 19, while 9 was listed earlier—this suggests a mismatch likely due to subtitle/code inconsistencies.

• Finish with:
  • return 0;

8) Compile, run, and verify output

• The instructor compiles and runs the program and shows output.
• Output includes:
  • Student VUID displayed
  • Values pushed displayed (stack contents)
  • Odd count displayed (example shows something like “four”)
  • Sum of even numbers displayed (example shows 84)
  • Remaining values displayed after 3 pops
• The results are confirmed as matching the assignment requirements (“as always told”).

9) Submission instructions (what file to submit)

• After compilation, you may see two files on Desktop.
• The important one is the .cpp file containing your code.
• Submit the .cpp file to the LMS.
