Piazza The course uses Piazza as onlineforum for discussion of material.

Prerequisites The course builds on 02105 Algorithms and Data Structures I. You are expected to know the curriculum for 02105, which includes

CodeJudge Exercises marked with [CJ] are implementation exercises and can be tested in CodeJudge (https://dtu.codejudge.net/02110-e16). For each of these exercises, a detailed specification of the input/output and a java template can be found on CodeJudge.

Mandatory assignments

In order to be allowed to participate in the written exam it is a requirement that you: Each week from week 1 to 9 you will be asked to do written exercises and hand them in during the group work. These exercises will be corrected by the teaching assistants. It is a requirement for participation in the exam that you get 3 of the 9 exercises approved. The exercises do not count in the final grade for the course, but you have to pass at least 3 of them in order to be allowed to participate in the exam.
The deadline for handing in the mandatory assignment on weekplan x is Thursday in week x+1 at 9:00. The deadline for handing in the home work must be respected.
You are welcome to hand in more than 3 - the TAs will correct all the home work you hand in.
The deadline for passing the implementation exercises is Thursday in week 11.

Programming Competition

The programming competition is now on. There will be a prize for the best three teams. Participation in the programming competition counts as a mandatory CodeJudge exercise if you pass a certain set of the test cases.The deadline is November 24th 23.59. The rules and the description of the programming competition is here.
