+# Homework 5 — Design and Implementation of a Simple Tinder
+
+In this assignment you will develop a simple online dating application which mimics some of the features provided by Tinder. Please read the entire handout before starting to code the assignment.
+
+## Learning Objectives
+
+- Get familiar with a commonly used data structure - linked lists.
+- Practice creating and manipulating linked lists without using the std::list library.
+
+## Background
+
+Tinder allows users to view other users' profiles, and users can swipe right or swipe left. Swipe right means like or accept someone, whereas swipe left means reject them.
+
+In addition, users will only see nearby users, and they can filter whom they want to see, based on age, height, and distance.
+
+In this assignment you will be implementing these two features.
+
+## Specification
+
+To be added.
+
+## Program Requirements & Submission Details
+
+Use good coding style when you design and implement your program. Organize your program into functions:
+don’t put all the code in main! Be sure to read the [Homework Policies](https://www.cs.rpi.edu/academics/courses/fall23/csci1200/homework_policies.php) as you put the finishing touches on your solution. Be sure to make up new test cases to fully debug your program and don’t forget
+to comment your code! Use the provided template [README.txt](./README.txt) file for notes you want the grader to read.
+You must do this assignment on your own, as described in the [Collaboration Policy & Academic Integrity](https://www.cs.rpi.edu/academics/courses/fall23/csci1200/academic_integrity.php) page. If you did discuss the problem or error messages, etc. with anyone, please list their names in your
+README.txt file.
