Snakes Updated

Hi All,

There was a slight error in the snakes theory.pdf file. The list of hash codes in figure four was incomplete. It showed up as

<9, 10, 10>

which was text that was left over from drafting the assignment. The real list of hash codes you should use is

<17, 12, 128, 10, 7, 14, 129, 132, 127, 96, 42>

The theory.pdf and theory.zip files linked on the lecture page and from FrontDesk now reflect this.

Sorry for the confusion!

-- Ian

Snakes Released!

Homework 2, Snakes, has been released! It is available on FrontDesk immediately.

The theory portion of Snakes will be due at the start of next week's recitation, which is 22 September 2010. The theory portion has been scaled back slightly due to the late release of the assignment. The programming portion will be due roughly a week later at 23:59 on 28 September 2010.

To address the latency and responsiveness issues that we had with Expression Trees, FrontDesk will be down for a period of time this weekend as it migrates to new hardware. You may submit partial solutions to snake to FrontDesk before then if you wish, but you should not count on them still being there when FrontDesk returns next week. There will be more detailed announcements about this outage as it becomes relevant.
