4. You can use MATLAB or Python for programming assignments. Don’t forget to put detailed comments into your functions/scripts to explain what your code is doing. Also indicate the inputs and outputs in the comment section.

5. Combine your report and codes into a single zip file. Plots and figures should go into the report.

6. Name your zip file as “CSE4088_name_surname_hw_no.zip”. For example, a student whose name is Ayşe Çalışkan will name her file as: “CSE4088_ayse_caliskan_hw1.zip” for the first homework. Also, write your name, surname and student number as comments at the beginning of your codes.
