Date: Saturday, 29 Feb 2020, 17:50:07

The CPSC 223 midterm will be given during class on
Wednesday, March 4th:

* If your name begins with A-K you will be taking the
  exam in LC 102.

* If your name begins with L-Z you will be taking the
  exam in DL 220 (our regular classroom).

Details on the seating arrangements witll be mailed to
you and posted later in the week.

There will be a review session tomorrow afternoon (Sunday,
March 1st) from 2:00pm to 3:30pm in DL 220.

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.

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.)
