Course materials

An excellent pledge on how to be a student in a course (CS @ U. of Virginia)

last year's course

  1. Introduction. Recursion
    Sample programs: Fibonacci words, box fractal
  2. Recursion. Decision. Characters
  3. Recursion. Assignment. Iteration
    Sample programs: filter HTML tags, filter LaTeX commands with braces
  4. Iteration. Side effects
    Sample programs: capitalize words (variant: first letter), factor into primes, balanced parantheses
    integer expression recursive, iterative inner loop
  5. Internal representation. Bitwise operators
    Sample programs: bitwise addition, stream bits, bitmap processing, float structure
  6. Arrays
    Sample programs: n choose k, collapse spaces
  7. Input/Output
    Sample program: read ints line by line
  8. Pointers
    Sample programs: strchr with index/pointer, read ints from string,
  9. Pointers.
    Sample programs: matrix multiply, string sort, read and count numbers, prefix expression from string
  10. Dynamic allocation
    Sample programs: array of arbitrary size
  11. File I/O
    Sample programs: various file ops, bitmap info, check PDF (variant)
    Modular compilation. Abstract datatypes. Example: intlist.h, intlist.c, working with lists
    Recitation. Sample programs: half bitmap, scanf to buffer
  12. Structures
    Sample program: construct terms
  13. Linked lists
    ordered lists, queues: header, implementation, test program
    Hashing. just words, frequence count, general hashmap
  14. Review
