Projects

Week 5

With our first break week fully enjoyed, hopefully everyone is ready to continue the Data Structures adventure!
The trickiness that many experience with Data Structures is mounting. And its name is abstraction- where we take familiar things and wrap them in new packages. They're the same, underneath it all, but we have to convince ourselves this is still the case.
We resume with the next project in the singly-linked list series: sll1
- Note that it continues where sll0 left off, so be sure to have completed sll0 before upgrading for an easier time.
- Should your sll0 implementation be troublesome, there IS a reference implementation available in sll1 with the list bits you need.

New week, new project: sln1
- We build upon our drawings and pseudocode with now actually implementing functionality in C
- I would highly, highly recommend getting started sooner rather than later. You may find you'll really want the benefit of the weekend and more days to ask questions.. the details have a way of sneaking up on you.

I've seen indications that many of you have started, and are well underway on the first week's project (at current time of writing, one person has even submitted it)
I've had a few questions- good; I've seen some of you in the LAIR working on the projects- excellent.
Don't forget to subscribe to the class mailing list!
The next project has been released: sln0
- It will continue our exploration of lists using special node units we'll be creating and manipulating
- For this project, the focus will be on pseudocode and drawing pictures
- It is important that you draw pictures
- UPDATE: all illustrative pictures have been added

Welcome! I've wrapped all the initial activities into one project, dsi0, that I'd like you to perform by the given deadline (by 11:59:59pm / 23:59:59).
