There are a few things I'd like to bring to your attention.

1. I added a few clarifications or hints for Homework assignment 3, please check Blackboard for that.

2. HW2 solutions are now available on Blackboard, and HW3 solutions will be available after 6pm on Thursday.

3. There is no class this coming Thursday since I will be on a business trip, but HW4 will be available on Blackboard after noon of Thursday.

4. Quiz1 is next Tuesday after we go over HW3.

5. When you review for the quiz, feel free to post questions here or email me.

Hi- I'm Nick Gerstle, the TA.
Apologies for the grading on the first homework- the keys are somewhat old and have multiple errors, and I discovered them as I was grading.
I'll try and keep an eye on the ore forums when the programming heavy homework shows up.
In terms of the homework, please realize that there are a number of you in the class, and I don't have all the times in the world to trace where you may have (or may not have) made a mistake in the homework. Work with others and go over the problems when you get it back. If you still have questions, I'm happy to look at it.
Enjoy the class!
Nick Gerstle

Any chance you could post a copy of announcements on BB too?

The midterm exam will be on 10/22 (the Thursday after fall break, not before). We still have regular lectures this week.

An extra credit project is now in Blackboard and it's due in a week.

On the instruction set assignment, the code reads:

sum = 0;
for (k = 0; k < n; k++)
{
sum += k;
}

Going by the parameters declared, shouldn't it read

sum = 0
for (k = 0; k < n; k++)
{
sum += list[k]
}

???

Thanks, Ian, for catching that. Yes, it can be read like what you said. However, I made things a little simpler, see the updated homework description on Blackboard.

Extra point for implementing an array-based sum like I assume the original intention was?
