I have a question about the project. In the code, you have defined some constants like #define MAX_DEVICES 4 and #define MAX_COMMANDS 10. Does this mean that the maximum number of devices and commands in the sysconfig file is 4 and 10 respectively? If so, how should we handle the case when the sysconfig file contains more than 4 devices or 10 commands? Should we stop the program or ignore the extra devices or commands?

They are constants defining the characteristics/limits of the computer system we're emulating. You will likely choose to use the values to define the maximum size of the data-structures that you define for your project.

The project description clearly states "We may assume that the format of the sysconfig [and commands] file will always be correct, and its data values consistent, so we do not need to check for errors." Input files exceeding these limits are invalid.
