Quiz-based Assignment REQUIRED
if you didn't get a STAR on Wed's quiz--Due Monday!
Image processing project:
Due date extended to Wed, Oct. 28.
Discussed: makePicture(W,H) workaround.
Aspects negative and positive 8-bit numbers:
(Binary 10000000 equals 128, but when it is interpreted
as a 2s-complement signed 8-bit number
it is -128. Similarly, 11111111 unsigned is 255 but
signed it is -1. But this does not account for the
problem one student described.)
Meaning of graphs and particularly histograms.
