# Partial Judge Note
## Intro. to Programming Ⅱ, Prof. Kuo

In case you're not so familiar with **partial-judged problems**, this note intoduces this mechanism in brief.

Normally, on the online judge, you're asked to submit a piece of complete codes, say `Main.c(pp)`, that contains the `main()` function. The judge would compile your codes like:

gcc Main.c -o a.out

and execute the binary with the testcases.

Nevertheless, for **partial-judged problems**, you would be given the _partial judge header_ and _code_, say `function.h` and `parJudge.c(pp)`, and you're required to implement the functions (or the classes, ...) declared in the header. The judge would compile your codes like:

gcc parJudge.c Main.c -o a.out

Technically, the compiler would compile the _partial judge code_ and the codes you submited to two object files respectively, and then link the objects to create the binary. You will learn the detail in this course.

## Example

Suppose the _partial judge header_ `function.h`:

void hello();

And the _partial judge code_ `parJudge.c`:

#include "function.h"

int main()
{
    hello();
    return 0;
}

You should implement the function `hello()` in another `.c` file:

#include "function.h"

void hello() { puts("hello, world"); }
