B1. Homeworks , Programming Assignments and Exams
Problem sets with solutions are periodically posted in the protected area. You don't
get credit for doing these problem sets! We also require you to do at least two of the following
comprehensive homeworks (if you do all three of them, the one with the lowest grade
will be dropped).
Before you do anyone of the programming assignments, read Handout 2 below (Section B2b),
and download the code of Section B4 (one of items 1 or 2,3,4 for C++ or C programming),
All programming assignments will be made available at the beginning of the semester. For due dates, please check the syllabus, page 2.

B3. Other Reference Material
You may find the following material useful, as far as the
coverage of asymptotic growth of functions and recurrences are
concerned.
- Data Structures and Algorithms in Java
by M. T. Goodrich and R. Tamassia, Wiley.
- Computer Algorithms: Introduction to Design and Analysis
by Sara Baase and Allen Van Gelder, Addison Wesley.
- Data Structures and Algorithms with Object-Oriented
Design Patterns in Java
by B. Press, Wiley.
B4. Source code
Source code cited in the programming exercises. The C++ version first:
-
handouts/Source/C++/testing.tar
or
handouts/Source/C++/sortgC++.tar
are one of the same and contain three individual files.
On a UNIX system (eg. AFS or Linux) you untar say the testing.tar file by typing
tar xvf testing.tar . On a PC
one could use a file extraction/compression
program such as WinZip to extract its contents.
The tar file contains the following three files that can be retrieved
independently as well.
ATTENTION VISUAL C++ USERSIn sortg.cc, you might have to replace INT_MAX by
RAND_MAX and the function call to random() by a function call to rand() to make things work
right.
-
handouts/Source/C++/Makefile.
-
handouts/Source/C++/bubble.cc.
-
handouts/Source/C++/sortg.cc.
The C version is similar in structure.
-
handouts/Source/C/testing.tar
or
handouts/Source/C/sortgC.tar
are one of the same and contain three individual files.
On a UNIX system (eg. AFS or Linux) you untar say the testing.tar file by typing
tar xvf testing.tar . On a PC
one could use a file extraction/compression
program such as WinZip to extract its contents.
The tar file contains the following three files that can be retrieved
independently as well.
-
handouts/Source/C/Makefile.
-
handouts/Source/C/bubble.c.
-
handouts/Source/C/sortg.c.
Note that our AFS-based C++ compiler understands C++ files
that have .cc suffixes. If you use Visual C++ you may have to
use .cpp suffixes in filenames.
B5. Postscript and PDF viewers
