- Get back remarking requests that have been cleared from the instructor's
legendary RemarkQueue(TM).
- Get the official blank double-sided aid sheet which you must use
for the final exam. (Of course, it doesn't have to remain blank.)
- Find out what are the rules for the Connect Four tournament, which
you may enter for glory, bragging rights, and yes, fabulous prizes.

If you're worried about the merge function we went over in class, don't
be. The solution is available through last
year's course Web site (look for the 1999 second term test). Try
writing the iterative and recursive versions of the function.
Other good recursive functions to try include:
- Printing the elements of a linked list
- Printing the elements of a linked list in reverse order
- BST insert
- BST retrieve
See you tomorrow, and good luck.

The assignment 4 specification
has been posted. It involves writing a report, and does not involve
any coding (although that may help). A5 will continue on the work of
A4 (details to follow).
A4 and A5 focus on the design, implementation and testing of a game-playing
program which uses the minimax algorithm. Notes
on minimax are publicly available from the
Web site for Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach,
an AI text authored by Russell and Norvig.
The deadline for late A4 submissions with accompanying petition (for
medical or other unavoidable reasons) is Tuesday, November 21 at noon.
Unofficial marks for A2 have been posted.
It is out of 80; the average was close to 100%.
Some student numbers are listed with a "C" instead of a mark.
This indicates a problem with the submission (e.g. run-time or compile-time
error), which should be resolved in the next couple of days.
Some student numbers are listed with nothing beside them. This indicates
no submission was received.
You can collect your marked A2 submission in lecture.
Monday, November 6
A4 will be posted tomorrow. It will cover the minimax algorithm, which
is used for game playing. In tomorrow's lecture, we are going over this

A2 will be handed back in lecture tomorrow; marks will be posted then
as well.
