Date: Monday, February 9, 2015
Agenda
- Announcements
- Student presentations on useful Java API classes
- Recap of previous programming problem set
- New problem set to work on
- Assignment for next time: Now that you have some experience with
attacking the kinds of problems that come up in contests, it's time
to think about strategy. Make a list of at least five strategy
ideas to share with the class next week. These could be strategies
for approaching individual problems, coming up with test cases, how
to make effective use of all three team members when only one
computer is available, and others. Please email your list to
the instructors by the start of our next class, and be prepared to
share them during class.
