+
+## Worksheet One
+### Task Highlights
+1. **Task 1**: Implements [details].
+2. **Task 2**: Implements [details].
+3. **Task 3**: Explores [details].
+4. **Task 4**: Integrates [details].
+5. **Tasks 2 + 3 (Template Adaptation)**: Combines tasks 2 and 3 into a reusable, template-based solution.
+

+
+## Worksheet Two
+### Task Highlights
+1. **Task 1 (Bump Allocator)**:
+   - Description: Implements a custom memory allocator for efficient memory use.
+   - Demonstration: Run using the following commands:
+     ```bash
+     cd worksheet_two/task 1 (bump allocator)
+     make
+     ./run_allocator
+     ```
+2. **Task 2 (Unit Tests)**:
+   - Description: Verifies functionality and robustness of implemented modules.
+   - Demonstration:
+     ```bash
+     cd worksheet_two/task 2 (unit tests)
+     make test
+     ```
+3. **Task 3**:
+   - Description: Extends functionality with [specific feature or goal].
+   - Demonstration: Run using:
+     ```bash
+     cd worksheet_two/task 3
+     make
+     ./run_task3
+     ```
+
