Make-Up Homework 11

This homework is a make-up homework. You can use it to replace the lowest grade you have received on Homework Assignments 1 to 10.
Here is the algorithm explaining how this works:

hws = [ HW1, HW2, HW3, HW4, HW5, HW6, HW7, HW8, HW9, HW10 ]
if HW11 != None: # if you have submitted HW11
    minHW = min( hws )
    if HW11 > minHW:
         hws.remove( minHW )
         hws.append( HW11 )

# drop lowest, as specified in syllabus
minHW = min( hws )
hws.remove( minHW )

# compute average homework grade
avgHW = sum( hws )/len( hws )
