You will receive an email asking you about which option you want to choose, or if you want to propose a different option. You will be asked to describe your optimization techniques, and you must have at least one technique which is unique - not mentioned by 5 (or more than 5) other students.
**Definition of Outperform:** The term outperform is defined as: Your program must either runs less amount of time than the instructor's code; or runs the same amount of time but consumes less memory than the instructor's code.

a3: You will receive an A for this course immediately if determined that you worked independently on these 3 homeworks and it is you - not someone else, who wrote the code and all 3 are your original work. The instructor reserves the right to not give you an A if the following red flags are noticed: 1. your test scores are consistently low and all the tests show that you are very unfamiliar with C++ and the lab TA/mentors conclude that your coding skills are clearly below class average. 2. when asked what optimization techniques you used, you could not name anything unique - a technique which is mentioned by at least 5 other students.

**Definition of work independently:** Doing your own research, asking chatgpt or other AI tools, are okay; collaborating with other students in this class, sharing your techniques with other students in this class, are not okay and are not considered as an independent, original work.
