-------- Original Message -------- Subject: COMPSCI 314: Sample answers for Assignment 3 Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2011 09:12:54 +1300 From: Brian Carpenter Organization: University of Auckland To: Brian Carpenter The sample answers for COMPSCI 314 Assignment 3 are on the class web site at http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/courses/compsci314s2c/assignments/ . We will get the marks back to you as soon as possible. You will notice that the answers given are quite short. According to the questions we were asked, some students thought the assignment was more complicated than it really was. Remember that the final exam also asks for short answers. As mentioned previously, the scope of the exam is the whole course, with one question on the material taught by Cris Calude, and seven questions on the material taught by Brian Carpenter and Nevil Brownlee. Good luck on 27 October!
