A process is what our computer keeps track of for each command while it is running. This includes:

Where its standard input comes from (typing or file) and where its standard output and error should go (terminal or file)
Its memory (like where all the variables and objects are stored) and code (Java bytecode, bash script code)
The command line arguments it started with
It’s exit code (when it finishes)
Any ports it is listening on, any files it is reading from or writing to.... and lots more!

Brainstorm: What makes a good autograder script? How might it work?

Hint – imagine this setup. Gradescope runs:

$ bash grade.sh <student-github-url>

and whatever the text output of that command is gets sent back to the student. What are the steps to, say, grade a PA.

Imagine students submitted code for one of the ListExamples that we used in lab that searches files, for example. What should the grader do?

(Example repo: https://github.com/ucsd-cse15l-f23/lab3, say we are grading the methods the student wrote in ArrayExamples)
