This file contains a summary of the information in lab03.html. That file contains the lab instructions and should be opened in a browser so you can see all the images.
In this lab we will:
- Practise using git
- Study optionals
- Implement a class defined by an interface
- Study the differences between copying references and values
Use this lab as an opportunity to practise small commits and good commit messages. There are two parts to a commit message, the subject (around 50 characters) and the body. Like an email, the subject should be consise and describe what's going on. For example:
Fix grammar and typos in introduction to user guide
Apparently there are more exceptions to "'i' comes before 'e'" than
there are words that follow it. Also, "'s"s are confusing.
From this example it's easy to get an idea as to what was being fixed. You can
see what your commits are by using git log. You should see something like:

Fix grammar and typos in introduction to user guide
There are also all sorts of pretty printing options too, which you can look into if you'd like. Have a look at How to Write a Git Commit Message for some good guidelines.
