The exam results are now reported in Ladok! You can pick up your exam and cheatsheet from the student office on floor 4 of the EDIT building.

In the lecture today I forgot to explain why, when inserting into a binary heap, the "swap with parent" step can’t cause the invariant to break for other nodes. I’ve added an extra slide to the lecture notes which explains this. (But try to think about it yourself first!)

Course organisation

To pass the course, you must pass a written exam as well as the labs. To help you learn the course material, there are optional exercises for you to do. The course has lectures twice a week, as well as exercise and lab sessions where you can come and get help from the course assistants.

We have set up a discussion forum for the course using Slack. Please join it! You can sign up here and log in here. It has rooms for discussing the labs and exercises, finding lab partners, and so on. All the teaching team are on it. If you have a question about the course, the Slack is normally the best place to ask.

We have a textbook, which you can read about here. It is not essential to own the textbook but you may want to consider it. On that page you can also find other useful websites, documents and books.
