<p><a href="index.html">Go up to the main documents page</a> (<a
href="index.md">md</a>)</p>
<p>This page is meant to be a set of notes to the instructor(s) of the
course. It is certainly not secret, but not likely to be all that
interesting to the students. But students are certainly welcome to read
it!</p>
<h2 id="lecture-progress">Lecture progress</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="../labs/lab01/index.html">Lab 1</a> (<a
href="../labs/lab01/index.md">md</a>) (introduction): the in-lab
requires getting through The ‘Rational Example’ section of the <a
href="../slides/01-cpp.html">C++ slide set</a>, and ideally the
‘Pre-Processor’ section as well.</li>
<li><a href="../labs/lab03/index.html">Lab 3</a> (<a
href="../labs/lab03/index.md">md</a>) (stacks) requires getting through
the stacks slides in the <a href="../slides/02-lists.html">lists slide
set</a></li>
<li><a href="../labs/lab04/index.html">Lab 4</a> (<a
href="../labs/lab04/index.md">md</a>) (numbers): requires the use of
command-line parameters for the post-lab, and those are discussed in the
<a href="../slides/04-arrays-bigoh.html">Arrays &amp; Big-Oh slide
set</a></li>
<li><a href="../labs/lab05/index.html">Lab 5</a> (<a
href="../labs/lab05/index.md">md</a>) (trees): requires getting through
the sections in the <a href="../slides/05-trees.html">Trees slide
set</a> on expression trees and AVL trees (this information is needed
for all three parts of the lab)</li>
<li>The <a href="../slides/05-trees.html">06: trees</a> slide set will
likey require that the two animation sites be allowed to run in your
browser, as they are both Java applets. Those sites are <a
href="http://www.qmatica.com/DataStructures/Trees/BST.html">here</a> and
<a
href="http://webdiis.unizar.es/asignaturas/EDA/AVLTree/avltree.html">here</a>
(only one is needed, as the second is a mirror of the first).</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="piazza-setup">Piazza Setup</h2>
<p>This is not really related to the materials in this repository, but
here is how I set up Piazza. This is included mostsly as a reference for
me for future semesters.</p>
