A note about A1: The unit tests depend on Lab 2 (writeup is linked from the course webpage). You can start (or complete!) Lab 2 before next week. The recommended order to do things is:
- Implement insertion sort
- Implement lab 2 (helper methods in SortsTest.java)
- Do the rest of A1
You can also test insertionSort by writing some code to
“manually” test your sort in the main program
(SortsDriver), but the unit tests are probably more
thorough, so switch to those as early as possible.
Week 1 Survey data:
Themes from qualitative feedback:
- Videos, exercises, group work 👍
- Concern about getting through all the in-class problems - this is ok! You don’t need to solve them all in class.
- Big-O is a hard concept - yes! We’ll get lots more practice.
Thanks to everyone who’s visited me in office hours so far. If you haven’t, you can still come by next week!
No class (or office hours) Monday. Enjoy the long weekend!
