|
| Nov 30 |
Office Hours |
- Office hours for 212 continue through Tuesday, Dec 4. Updated
office hours will be posted if the office hour schedule need to be
altered (TAs have final exams, too).
- If you need help outside of office hours, consider emailing a TA
to ask questions or to set up an appointment. The course
newsgroup is also a good place to ask questions.

Project Part 4 |
Fixed a mistake in the Bali Specs for Part 4.
The grammar mistakenly indicated that subscript-brackets were required
for a type; the subscript brackets are, of course, optional.
|
| Nov 30 |
Project Part 4 |
As announced in lecture: To ease some of the end-of-semester crunch,
although Part 4 is officially due at 11:59PM on Friday, Nov 30, there is
no lateness penalty for Part 4 as long as it is submitted to CMS by
11:59PM on Tuesday, Dec 4.

Course Evaluation |
Please take the time to do the online course evaluation (http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/CourseEval).
- Completing the course evaluation is worth 1% of your CS212 grade.
- Evaluations are anonymous. We get a list of those who completed an
evaluation, but we don't know who said what.

Project Part 4 |
Added text to the Bali Specs to clarify that a keyword used as a
variable is a syntax error and to clarify what can be assigned to
in an assignment statement. Added another Bonus Work choice (Heap
clean-up).

The Project Part 4 write-up is

I wanted to get the write-up online for those who like to start early.

Project Part 3 |
The kind and generous TAs have prevailed upon me to delay the due date
for Part 3 by two days. Project Part 3 is now due on Thursday,
Nov 8, at 11:59PM.

Project Part 3 |
As has been pointed out on the course newsgroup, there were some
syntax errors [a missing colon (:) and a missing semicolon (;)] in
the Bali program that appeared in the Part 3 write-up. This has now been
corrected in the write-up.

Groups for Project |
As stated in the Course Info, you have the
option of changing partners for a new assignment. As described this week
in email and in the newsgroup:
- If your group is changing in any way (e.g., your partner has
disappeared, you would like to divorce your partner, your pair has
become a triple) you need to notify Jeff Chadwick via email (see the
Staff page for his email address). We need
names and NetIDs so that we can update CMS.
- If you are seeking a partner you can
- place a partner-request on the course newsgroup,
- email a partner request to Jeff Chadwick who will attempt to
match people, or
- find a partner some other way.
- If we match you with another student (or students) this just means
that you should contact the other student(s) to see if you mutually
agree to be partners; it does not mean that you must be
partners.

Part 2B |
AMS (Assignment Management System) is a tool you must use to submit
Part 2B. Here is an outline of the necessary steps
- Download AMS.jar from Part 2B of CMS.
- Double-click on AMS.jar. This should open a Java window.
- Click on "New Assignment..." to add your project files
to an assignment. The remaining steps should be
straightforward.
AMS will ask if it needs your help to find the tools.jar file that
you are using (if you can compile Java code then you're using a
tools.jar file). It should be in your JDK installation. For
instance, mine is in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_02\lib. |

Lecture 07 - Discussion of Part 3 & Programming
Languages is now online. |
| Oct 12 |
Section |
The topic for section this next week (sections meeting on Oct 15 and
Oct 17) is "Questions on Part 2B". Attendance is
optional, but encouraged --- this is a good chance to ask questions
about Part 2B of the project (which is due on Thursday, Oct 18).
Depending on how many people attend, individual help will probably be
available. |

Bali |
The Bali link (under Project at the top of this page) now links to the
specifications for Bali. If you're interested, you can see what
all of Bali look like. |

Part 2A |
As part of the grading for Part 2A, each group must schedule a meeting
with a TA to discuss their Design Document. The CMS assignment
page (the same page you use to submit your files) contains a table
called 'Available time slots.' You will see all meeting slots that we've
created, and the available slots will be selectable by a radio input.
There's a button directly underneath the table titled 'Assign/Change
time slot' that will confirm the time. The time-slots are in the
early part of next week, starting on Sunday. At present, not all
available time-slots appear online, but they should all be there soon. |
| Sep 26 |
Part 2A |
If you're in a group, be sure to form a group on CMS soon---ideally,
well before the assignment is due (11:59pm, Thursday, Sep 27). All
students in a group need to interact with CMS for a group to exist. |
| Sep 26 |
Part 2 |
Some clarification has been added to the Bali Specs for Part 2
due to questions about loop behavior. Note that there are two
blocks of statements within a loop. The loop works by executing
the first block, then checking the condition and possibly exiting the
loop, then executing the second block. If the condition causes a
loop-exit then the second block is not executed. After executing
the second block the loop starts over again with the first block.
The example in the Project Part 2
write-up is a loop that happens to have an empty first block; this is
just meant to be an example. Either statement-block in a loop can
be empty or both blocks be nonempty. (It's also legal for both
blocks to be empty, but then it's not clear that the loop would be
useful.) |
