News:

April 24, 2018:     The results of the final exam and your final grade for the course are here.
January 19, 2018:     Some additional information about the assignments:
Your systems should read their input from file and also write to a file. So, if your system is called mysystem, the input file is myinput and the file for the output is myoutput, the command for running your system should be:

       mysystem myinput myoutput

Your system should also be able to handle any additional blanks at the end of a line in the input file and also any additional empty lines between lines.
Finally, here is a minimalistic example of an input file.

Labs

The labs will be aimed at deepening your understanding of the concepts presented in the lectures and in answering questions that you did not immediately have while the material was presented in the lectures.

The labs will start in the second week of the semester and participation in the first lab is required since you will form the teams that will do the assignments in this lab! This especially means that all members of a team have to be in the same lab (we allow students to change labs before the teams are formed).
