There is no formal assignment this week. However, I do expect you to be up to date on the reading. In addition to Chapters 1, 2 & 6 of Weiss, I would also like you to read Chapter 3 and look over the handout from last class to make sure you understand it.

Also, you may remember from the start of the semester that 5% of the course grade will be for in-class quick quizzes. These are very brief tests usually conducted in the first five minutes of the class. They're typically multiple-choice or short-answer tests. Their purpose is to check to make sure you've been doing the readings, etc., and are following along with the class.

Obviously, if you arrive late to a class that has a quiz (or don't attend at all), you forfeit these points. I do not announce ahead of time when quizzes will take place.

• The midterm examination is ready for pickup from the hoppers outside my office. The examination is due at 6:00 PM, Sunday, 10 March 2002. Good luck!
• The solution to Assignment 5 is available on my door.

Homework Correction: Here are a couple of minor fixes to the instructions for Assignment 6. These fixes have been made in the version of the PDF file on the website right now.

• Under Section E, just before question W14, the arguments to shuffle should read -s 0 shuffle.cpp (and not shuffle.cc)
• In Section G, you should make the program read the file input.txt (not hw6-input.txt, which does not exist)

Assignment 2 is up.
A new reading assignment is listed below.

2002-01-28

Homework Correction: The Makefile for the lineshuffler program is missing some dependencies that will prevent it from recompiling when some of the files have been changed. To fix the problem, download a new copy of assign1.tgz, or download the patch, save it in the lineshuffler directory, cd into that directory, and type patch < assign1.patch.

2002-01-27

Homework Correction: In question W8(a), the question should read

If you change the Java code so that it looks like the C++ code and recompile the program, what error will occur?

That is, delete the “when the program is run” part of the question, because the error is a compile-time error with most Java compilers.

[The PDF file has been updated to reflect this change.]
