Lecture 10 / PS 5 Reminder

[aranthe]

Note:Apparently, MIT re-arranged the furniture a few weeks ago. If you've tried to follow the links in the online calendar that I created for this session or links in posts prior to the previous one, they will redirect you to the main page for this course.

Also, if you're still following the course, could you post a quick reply to this post and let me know whether you're up-to-date or whether we need to pause for a catch-up?

Links:

• Lecture 10 (spans June 21–July 4, 2010):
  • Divide and conquer methods, merge sort, exceptions (video)
  • Handout (PDF)
• Assignment
  • PS5 (due July 4): PS5: Word games (PDF)
  • ps5.py (Exercise template, problems 1-5)
  • test_ps5.py (Unit tests)
  • ps5_ghost.py (Exercise template, problem 6)
  • Word list (Text file)

I have given up fooling myself that I'm actively going through this course. I just am not. But I'm really grateful you are making these posts, because they should still be there if and when I do get my act together enough to start again.

Same as the person above me. At some point I will go through the course by myself and use these posts as a resource.

I'm up to date with the lectures, but not with the problem sets.
