Use "SRK" as a fluid package to simulate the process using or identifying at least four
different heuristics from the list at the last page. Save the file on both a CD and the
"Desktop", using a file name that indicates your name and ID, for example "Ali 20221111".
It is your responsibility to make sure that all files are included in the CD, which should be
submitted together with this exam paper with your name written above, before leaving the
room.
