Due to a meeting I must attend, I will not be at my office hours from 1-2PM today. I apologize for the late notice. I should be back by 2PM (or possibly before)
and will be available until about 2:45PM.

I have (finally) set up the
submission site for your projects. I
apologize for the lateness of this. I
hope you all have plenty of time to submit by
http://www.cs.pitt.edu/~ramirez/cs1621/assigs/submit.html
If you want to run some of the
handouts and don't know how, see running.html – it
shows the technique for compiling / running for a few of the languages we have
been discussing.
For timing your execution
(Programming Exercise 6) you must somehow calculate the elapsed time within
your program. One way is by using the
clock() function. For details see http://www.cplusplus.com/ref/ctime/clock.html
Reminder: The first midterm exam is next
Monday, October 3. A review sheet and
some practice questions have been posted!
If you want some more information on
Perl local variables, see the articles below!
http://perl.plover.com/FAQs/Namespaces.html
http://perl.plover.com/local.html
Both are interesting and I recommend reading them if you are familiar with Perl
(if you are not familiar with Perl, give them a try, although some of the more
syntactic sections will be tough to understand).
REMINDER: CS WELCOME PARTY! See details in the August 30 announcement
below!
A couple of students inquired about
the Prolog program I used in class today.
Here is the link:
There are other versions as well –
feel free to Google if you want to find them.
Even though the complete installation
had a few bugs, I am also including the link to the LISP program that I
used. It will probably work better if
you use it with Linux or other Unix systems than if you use it on MS Windows
systems:
As I mentioned at the end of
Monday's lecture (some of you may have missed it), the CS Department is having
its annual Welcome Party for students next Wednesday, September 7 from 11:45 –
2:00 in 5319 Sennott Square. Food will be
provided and door prizes will be given, but the most important reason to attend
is to find out what is going on with the department in the coming year. For more information see this flyer. I hope to see you all there!
Welcome to CS1621 for Fall Term (206-1). This page will be updated throughout the term with timely information and announcements.
As I mentioned in lecture today, the "midterm exam" section of the printed course information sheet has been changed. Please note the update in the online course information. Note that there are two midterm exams, each worth 15% of the overall grade.
Start reading Chapters 1 and 2 in the Sebesta text.
