Subject: CPSC 223 midterm
Date: Sunday, 23 Feb 2020, 18:38:05

The CPSC 223 midterm will be given during class on
Wednesday, March 4th.  Half of the class will take
the exam in DL 220, the rest in LC 102.  Details
will be mailed to you and posted later in the week.

There will be a review session, most likely in the
afternoon on Sunday, March 1st.  Details will be
announced later in the week.

My plan is to go over the answers to the review
problems, which are available at

  http://zoo.cs.yale.edu/cs223/doc/review-f

along with Chapter 8 from Bentley

  http://zoo.cs.yale.edu/classes/cs223/doc/B8.pdf

I will also answer questions on the material.  I will
distribute copies in class on Monday.

Possible topics on the exam include:

* algorithms (greedy, backtracking, divide-and-conquer,
  and dynamic programming; sorting)

* allocation of arrays and records

* adversary arguments

* linked lists and search

* under the hood (how C uses memory, scope, etc.)
