CS 240: Lecture 43 – Applications Lab, Part 2

Dear students: Today we will devote our entire time together to a comprehensive lab on data structures. The lab is a set of problem descriptions. You must pick one or more data structures as you implement a solution for each problem. Correctness is important, but so is speed. You should seek out as fast a […]

CS 240: Lecture 41 – Exam Review

Dear students: Today we will revisit topics from this past semester by completing a practice exam on Canvas. The format of this exam is very close to the real thing that we will have next week. Any problems in which you are asked to draw something will be done on paper, and you will turn […]

CS 240: Lecture 40 – Path Algorithms Lab

Dear students: Today we will devote our entire time together to a lab on graph algorithms. Follow these guidelines: You may work with one other person. If there’s an odd number of people, one group of three is permitted. Upload the required files to Autolab. Run the Autolab tests as often as you’d like. Group […]

CS 240: Lecture 39 – Exam Review

Dear students: Today we will revisit topics from this past semester by completing an old exam. TODO You have some work to do before the next class: Keep working on PA4. It is due today. I will offer a few bonus points to folks who complete a number of Advent of Code exercises. The details […]

CS 240: Lecture 38 – Graph Algorithms

Dear students: I don’t know about you, but my mind has been elsewhere. Our routine striving was cut into by a break. I’m glad it did. Sometimes I think that I’ll only have peace when I get all the things done. What a lie that is. I will never be done. And even if something […]

CS 240: Lecture 36 – Graphs

Dear students: We’ve collected up many abstract data types this semester: lists, sets, stacks, queues, priority queues, trees, and dictionaries. These will be your tools on every software development project you ever undertake. But there’s one more to add to your repertoire: the graph. Like a tree, a graph is used to model relationships. A […]

CS 240: Lecture 35 – Set Brawl

Dear students: Today we close out our discussion of hashing with an empirical brawl. We’ll look at solving a particular problem with a hash set, an unsorted array, a sorted array, an unbalanced binary search tree, and a balanced binary search tree. The problem we will solve is coming up with a collection of unique […]

CS 240: Lecture 34 – Hashtable Lab

Dear students: Today we will devote our entire time together to a lab on hashtables. Follow these guidelines: You may work with one other person. If there’s an odd number of people, one group of three is permitted. Upload the required files to Autolab. Run the Autolab tests as often as you’d like. Group submission […]
