Assignment 1 questions.

  Do we need to use classes for the first assignment? My solution uses a
  procedural approach but relies heavily on c++ data structures such as lists
  and vectors. I don't want to be penalized for not using classes when I'm
  supposed to be using them.

You may use whatever you want, as long as you use it correctly. I recommend
linking your code with saferstl and running a few tests just to make sure.

  Can an edge "1 2 2 3" be considered disjoint despite having the numeric 2 as
  common for both the intervals (1,2) and (2,3) on that edge.

Yes; overlap at interval endpoints is o.k. as long as that's the only part that
overlaps.

  Your problem statement states that any leftover blank shreds can be freely
  patched up at the end of the document; am I understanding that correctly?

Yes; you can place them anywhere they match their neighboring shreds.
