CS-11 Announcements

Announcements appear on this page during the course.

12/9: I corrected the final exam date for the day section. Sorry for any confusion.

11/16: Day section reminder: exercise 10.3 is optional and completing it is worth extra credit

11/12: You can see in WebCT solutions to all assignments turned in so far.

11/3: To calculate your total grade excluding the final, use the formula:
sumOfWeightedPercentages / (1 - WEIGHT_FINAL)

10/28: Day and evening section reminder: exercise 8.3 is optional and completing it is worth extra credit

10/27: Here are a few hints for A7: Tic-Tac-Toe:

  1. To convert the string player to a char, use player.at(0).
  2. To exit your program , you can call: exit(0)

10/26: Day section: I gave everyone credit for the question on casting to a char because all the answers were correct. Casting to a (float) first would give a compiler warning but not an error.

10/25: I have removed the following the specification for A7: Tic-Tac-Toe:

Your program must catch and handle all error conditions.

Player X's move: bad
You must enter an integer value

You do not have to catch and prevent non-integer input. However, you still need to catch and prevent invalid moves such as entering a position not on the board.

10/22: Midterm scores are posted in WebCT. For the day section, please ignore any scores of zero in the statistics. The statistics are skewed because WebCT is counting students who did not take the midterm and probably are no longer enrolled in the class.

10/20: Day section reminder: exercise 7.3 is optional and completing it is worth extra credit

10/8: Evening section reminder: exercise 6.2 is optional and completing it is worth extra credit

10/8: Day section reminder: exercise 6.1 is optional and completing it is worth extra credit

10/7: There was an error in the sample output of A5: Clothing Sizer. It was correct for most of the week except on part of Tuesday and Wednesday. I originally thought I had an error on Tuesday, but found out on Wednesday that I did not. I corrected my correction on Wednesday. The web page is correct as of October 06 2004 @19:51:45.

10/5: I reorganized Lesson 6. For instance, what was section 6.1 is now 6.3. I will cover the changes in class.

9/20: Evening section reminder: exercise 4.4 is optional and completing it is worth extra credit

9/20: CodeLab found the problem and has fixed it. Regrading is completed. Both CodeLab and I apologize for the problem.

9/20: CodeLab is misreporting completion of exercises to me. I have contacted customer support. I am sorry about any mismarking I will regrade in the next day or two (once CodeLab provides a solution).

9/17: Day section: Many students did not complete a small portion of the CodeLab exercises for Lesson 2. I suspect that this is a problem with understanding the CodeLab interface. If you did not complete some of the CodeLab exercises for Lesson 2, then you can still get credit if you complete them by Monday 9/17.

9/16: Day section reminder: exercise 3.4 is optional and extra credit.

9/14: This is a reminder that the due date for the first CodeLab, Lesson 1, was extended to Thursday 9/16 at 9:30 AM.
