6. Run the unit testing program to ensure that your program runs as expected.

   For Linux and Mac users

   ./test.sh or source ./test.sh
   

   For windows users

   ./win_test.bat
   

   The unit testing will output the results of a series of tests using specific input and expected output. Any error will provide information on where the expected output is different from the actual output. You will need to edit your source code to fix the error and run ./test.sh or ./win_test.bat repeatedly until it passes all the test.

Submission

Submit a zip file containing all the code files on canvas

Naming Convention: _.zip

Your zipped folder should contain below files:

CWID_LASTNAME.zip -
                  | > test.py
                  | > test.sh
                  | > main.py
