congratulations, you've survived cse5a. we're going to grade the finals tomorrow night [tuesday], and grades should be posted on gradesource by wednesday morning.
i hope you had as much fun as i did [and i hope you learned a thing or two about programming along the way]. you should know by now that i like answering questions... my email box is always open, if you ever have questions about anything [programming, computer science, grad school, kite flying [ask me about it!], life, the universe...].
and wish me luck... your favorite ta is heading off to hawaii with a couple other nerds from ucsd to battle still more nerds in an international programming contest. click here for more details... supposedly you can watch us battle, although you can probably find better ways to spend 5 hours [yup, i get to program for 5 hours]. i'll do my best... but i don't know how far that will get us [we're representing ucsd]. we'll see :)

here are the answers to my practice final. i don't have as much time to spend on the solutions this time... i'm sorry. i'm also sorry that i'm posting these so late... i was really tired, and fell asleep.
i mentioned to some of you that it's really easy to work with linked lists recursively, and some of you didn't believe me :). so here's my solution to the extra credit assignment, where everything is done recursively. if you look through the code, the function definitions are pretty short [they're mostly comments].
to all the students i checked you off: i was very impressed by your understanding of linked lists. good work.
there will be a review session this saturday, 3/16/2002 at 1pm in room 113 center hall. the session should run for at least one hour, and at most two hours. i'll be writing up solutions to the practice final in apm 2444 after the review session, if you want to ask me questions.
i made a practice final. i'll go over it during the review session. it's the same situation as last time, i think my practice final is pretty difficult, so don't panic if you have trouble with it... if things still don't make sense after the review session, talk to us.
i made a mistake in my notes on arrays [week7]. i said the average function should look like this:
/* WRONG */ double average(int[] array, int size)
oops. it's supposed to be:
double average(int array[], int size)
i apologize for any confusion.
another holiday, so no discussion today... i wrote some discussion notes anyways, if you are interested. hopefully we'll have some time next week to talk about the things i had planned for today. if you have questions, let me know.
as promised, here are the solutions to my practice midterm, as well as some discussion of what we talked about.
i put some work into these solutions [drawing pictures and stuff]... i hope someone finds them useful. :)
there will be a review session this sunday, 2/10/2002 at 1pm in room 113 center hall. the session should run for at least one hour, and at most two hours. i'll be hanging around apm 2444 after the review session, if you want to ask me questions.
i made a practice midterm. i'll go over it during the review session. i think my practice midterm is pretty difficult, so don't panic if you have trouble with it... if things still don't make sense to you after the review session, please talk to a tutor or ta.
today is a holiday, so there is no discussion. i have some discussion notes prepared anyways, if you would like some more practice. if you have questions, ask!
in discussion yesterday i wasn't sure if printf("%lf\n",
11.0/4); would work correctly. well, i just tried it, and it
seems to work properly [it prints 2.750000]. i wasn't
sure if 11.0 was a double or a float... [it's a double].
hi, i'm jeremy and i'll be your discussion ta for the quarter. i'll keep copies of my discussion notes on this webpage. i'll try to have my notes ready the night before discussion.
if you have questions about anything, you can always ask a tutor or ta during lab hours. if you prefer, you can email me questions at jl@cs.ucsd.edu. i'll try to reply to emails as soon as i can.
