project Stderr output (both)

9:40pm Wed 22nd May, ANONYMOUS

Hi, Are we able to use newlines at the end of our stderr message? I am aware that we should for the stdout outputs but I would like to make sure for stderr, given the automated marking system. Thank you

Cli function (all 5)

Yes, I understand these now, thanks again

Cli function (all 5)

1:31pm Wed 22nd May, ANONYMOUS

I also have a follow up question regarding the Vigenere cipher, if a character does not fall within the acceptable encrypting range and we have to copy it over, do we still advance in our progression along the key or do we not change our position unt...

project Encrypt range (all 8)

10:54am Fri 3rd May, ANONYMOUS

Hi, Are we able to assume that the given range does not apply to the output of an encrypt function call or do we need to fit the output of the function to match this range? For example, if encrypting from 'A' to 'Z', can the cipher text go outside thes...

labs Linux Kernel Version (both)

9:41am Tue 5th Mar, ANONYMOUS

Hi, Will newer Linux versions such as those in current versions of WSL be okay to use for the labs? The version is 5.10.16.3 rather than the 5.4 specified in lab sheets. Thanks
