• Syllabus and Final Exam Info (4/17) The syllabus says that W15 (aka Exam Week) contains a Tuesday date 4/21. It is obviously an inconsequential error. The Tuesday of the Exam week is Tuesday 9 May 2023, BTW. But our CS610 IS NOT on an EXAM DAY. The final exam, as of the day of this notice, is still on Wed 10 May, 2023.
• Final Exam info (4/11) It is available through the link below. Seating arrangements for the exam room will be posted next week in Section C of the course web-page and Canvas/Announcements. Exam 2 instructions are those of exam 1; they are posted in section C.0 of the course web-page (password protected area).
• PrP typo (3/27) On page 3, in paragraph 2 ("The six-line ...") it is correctly reported that alex, tom, jerry get hashed into a typoed "into a a" instead of "into a" 4, 2, and implied after a collision into slot 3 for jerry. The search (and delete) operations, of the paragraph "they will generate" however mistyped those slot values. They should be "alex found at slot 4", "tom found at slot 2", "jerry found at slot 3", and so on. Section C of the course web-page, under Homeworks has a corrected PDF for the PrP. Moreover, the output of 13 Print, is similar to the first output with slot 2 clear though given tom's deletion.
• PrP reminder (4/11) The PrP is due through Canvas/Assignments (and not Canvas/Quizzes) before noon time (12PM for canvas) next Tue, Apr 18.
• HW 5 (3/21) Includes some bonus points.

Rough midterm class performance guidance will be is provided in Section C: it will be is based on the VoP,HW1-HW4, and Exam1. A solution key for the exam will be posted after March 21. (As all the problems are from HWs or PSes methods to solve them or solutions are available there.)
• Canvas Quiz Statistics (3/02) If you observe them, ignore them. For a multi-submission canvas quiz, canvas uses the last (homework) submission to generate statistics. If a student made a mistake and has two submissions one 30pts, and the second autosubmission empty graded 0pts, canvas will use the 0pts submission to generate statistics.
• HW 4 solution key (3/02) In section C.
• Exam 1 (2/24) Instructions for exam 1 are in section C. Read them prior to the exam to save time. Material to be covered includes Subject 1,2,3,4,5. But from Subject 5 no questions on Huffman coding. This includes PS 1,2,3,4,5 and of course HW 1,2,3,4. On the cover page of a Subject (or in Section C along with a Subject) you may find a mapping of a Subject to the chapters and sections of the textbook. (Watch out and ignore the discussion of the textbook re InsertionSort and SelectionSort and WatchOut the indexing of a BinaryHeap that is Pascal-based in the textbook and C/C++/Java based in the Subjects.)
• Office Hours for Tue 2/28 An email has been sent out. The area/link of Office/Contact Hours (link above) also reflects that email: the Tue office hours have moved from a 10am starting time to an 11am starting time on 2/28.

You gain understanding of those (sorting) algorithms and the counter that counts comparisons can help you also solve and understand some of the questions (of HW3). Several of you lost points on recurrences: practice makes perfect.

• HW1 and minor typos HW 1 is running. In Question 1 the "that maximizes" should have been "that maximize(s)" and "the value of" should have been "the value(s) of". In Question 5 there is a reference to the absolute value function; discard it as it is not used in the problem. Depending on the size of the browser's window the sum might not display well or clearly: both ranges of values for i and j are from 0 (includive) to n (inclusive). In Question 7 a "a SLP" should have been "an SLP" instead.
• (2/7@9:04) (1/30@8:42) Verification of Presence A verification of presence took place on 2/7 based on HW1. Note that empty submissions are not considered by the instructor an interaction for Financial Aid verification purposes. Students who submitted the VoP Quiz as of the indicated time(s) at the header of this item have been verified. Note that on Jan 26, all student who have not submitted their VoP would be marked in Banner with a NO until the verification takes place eventually. (1/27@8:09) (1/26@07:51) (1/25@08:55) (1/24@08:59) (1/23@08:58) (1/20@07:50)(1/19@09:04) (1/18@08:52)
• (1/17@09:02) Subject 1 : minor typos References to an Appendix in Subject 1 are meant to be to Document 2 (available in a Canvas Announcement). A reference to a Document 3 is meant to be to Subject 3. The updated Subject that reflects these minor typos is available in Section C of the course web-page accessible from the link below. Canvas module Subject 1 will not be updated because of canvas sync issues.
• (1/16@13:49) First class See you in class tomorrow Tuesday. You should have received by now a Welcome email (sent last week) and its repeat sent earlier today. Read it and act on it. (The part at least related to Canvas/Announcements and Canvas/BeforeFirstClass). The currently displaed room info indicates that our classroom is in the Mechanical Engineering department. If you try to enter the area from the GITC building reach the 2nd floor of the GITC, walk to the rear past the labs (one of them contains the OSL machines of Document 3 fame) until you hit on your left the rear freight elevator, and then take the narrow stairs DOWN to the second floor of ME.
• Canvas and Course Web-page (1/9@15:09) The canvas page of the course has been published. It is accessible through canvas.njit.edu with your myUCID credentials. Start reading the Canvas announcements area first and then move to Canvas modules; several items in Canvas announcements have PDF documents attached to them. This item you are reading now is in the Course Web-page announcement section not in canvas announcements. The most important document in Canvas Announcements is Document 1 that contains the syllabus (first four pages), and information about intruction delivery (the remaining seven pages). The last page of Document 1, the eleventh page, is the course FAQ. By now links to the Verification of Presence (VoP) and Homework 1 (HW1) have been published in canvas. Both are set up as canvas quizzes and will become available through Canvas Quizzes. The Programming Project (PrP) has also been published. Published means you can see the link (in canvas). Available means you can work on it. Document P in canvas announcements contains explanations about the terms 'available' vs 'published'. Section C of this course web-page (link below) requires a separate set of credentials common to all of us: they are available on page five of Document 1. This is the reason Document 1 is hidden behind canvas.
• New Semester Section B (Public information) contains a provisional syllabus plus other information. It might get corrected for typos. Information not located there is in the password protected section C or in the Learning Management System NJIT is using (CANVAS).
• Web page under construction (12/20) Come back in early January. If you are a Fall 2022 student, go to the link Previous Offerings of CS610 below and click it, and then click Fall 2022.
