| Special reception hours for appeals about the automatic check of assignment 3 (ADT) | Special reception hours for appeals about the automatic check of assignment 3 (ADT) will be held on 27/05, Tuesday, 15:00 - 16:00.
Please note that only appeals for ***the automatic check*** will be considered during these hours.
Please check what happened with your tests before the appeal – see your test results and your submitted files in ~mtm/public/0708a/ex3/submissions.autocheck .
Guidelines for appeals about the automatic check :
There is no point in arguing about the automatic check results - they are final. Also, there is no point in appealing about the amount of points that were reduced for each failed test. However, under one of the following conditions you may ask for rerunning the automatic check:
1.Your submission file was corrupted for some reason and could not have been opened by the automatic checker.
2.You forgot to submit a file.
3.You submitted a file with a wrong name.
4.Your files did not compile at all due to some minor defect in the code, like a missing “;”.

| Oded's Reception Hour | Hi,
in the rehearsal class I said I'll give a reception hour before the exam.
I forgot I am leaving town today, so I wouldn't be able to be at my office.
In order to compensate, I am inviting you to send your questions to my email
box, and I'll do my best to answer them today and tomorrow.
Good luck in the exam!
Oded. |

You can view the tests in ~mtm/public/0708a/ex3/tests. The results of each pair appear in ~mtm/public/0708a/ex3/submissions.autocheck.
If you received an extremely low grade please do not panic. The reasons for an extremely low grade could be :
1. your documents for late submission are missing - please verify with Benny that he received your documents and correctly updated the number of the extension days you deserve.
2. Your automatic test failed to compile. For appeals about the automatic tests please come to special reception hours, which will be held during the 25.05-29.05 (announcement with exact date and time will be sent later).
3. Your dry submission is missing. Please write a note to Vadim and Benny and specify when/where you submitted your dry submission.
For appeals about the manual check please resubmit your dry work to Vadim's box with attached detailed explanations why you think the points should not be reduced. Please note, however, that if you resubmit your dry work for appeal , it will be fully rechecked and more errors could be found – more points could be reduced as a result of the appeal. The answers for the appeals for the manual checks will be given after 25.05. Also, please note that most of the reduced points were one point per error, which for this assignment constitutes 0.1 point of the final grade.
Vadim will have a reception hour for questions about the solution of the assignment 3 ADT on Tuesday 13.05 15:00-16:00 Taub 9. Please note : no appeals will be accepted during this hour, only general questions regarding the assignment/ the errors will be answered. |

| Postponement of Exercise 2 ** only for updating "source" ** | The deadline of Exercise 2 has been postponed to this Thursday, 27.3,
until midnight.
The postponement is meant only for those who need to update their use
of "source" (you were asked not to use it - read Updates for further information).
Just resubmit your work, and we will take the latest submitted.
Notice that you are not allowed to change anything else but the "source"
issue. We will 'diff' the work of new submitters with their old one, and make
sure you changed only the "source".
The postponement is in place since the announcement of the "source"
requirement was pretty close to the dead line. |

| A minor change in the examples files for the assignment 3 (ADT). | Erroneous extra-parameters were removed from several commands in the *.dat files. Please note that your program could ignore extra parameters and can assume that the number of the parameters in the commands is legal.
Versions of the *.dat files without the extra-parameters were added to the examples directory, and they have a letter 'a' after the number of the test., e.g. test13a.dat. Your program should work correctly on ***either*** one of the two versions. The students whose programs work correctly on the previously provided examples should not change anything.
The expected error and output files are the same for the both versions. |

| Important FAQs were added to the FAQ of ex3. | Important FAQs were added to the FAQ of ex3 :
Q. When I do the report funciton, do i have to print the number of
used application or is it ok if i print it 0?
A. When you print the ordered movies, you must print only the names of the movies, as is stated in the assignment. You must use mtm_printMovieName() function from mtm_ex3.h for this purpose.
Q. In the FAQ you wrote that if a client orders a movie and then the movie is deleted, the recommendation should not recommend based on that movie.
if a movie is removed, and then added back, should it still not recommend based on it?
A. 1. Each time you add a movie (even if the movie was already added and removed previously), the system should start giving recommendations based on the newly added movie.
2. Each time you remove the movie, the system should stop giving recommendations based on that movie.
Please note that these FAQs are clarifications and they do not constitute any change in the assignment. |

| Postponement due to the original exam session | This announcement relates ONLY to students who have or had final exams during the original session as defined by the Dean of Undergraduate Studies, i.e., 03/02/08-27/02/08 inclusive.
The formula below describes the calculation of the number of permitted days of delay the student/pair of students deserve for ex2 and ex3.
D = MAX(14 days, last_exam.date-first_exam.date) refers to the deserved postponement of each student who had at least one final in this period. If the student didn’t have any exams his D=0.
If the pair (students A and B) submits their homework together they deserve delay of average of both students' D, i.e., ceil(0.5D(A)+0.5D(B)).
Herein several examples of calculation:
* Student 1 submits alone and didn’t have exams in the specified period – doesn’t deserve any postponement.
* Students 2 and 3 submit together and they had 1 exam each – deserve 2 weeks overall.
* Students 4 and 5 submit together. Student 4 had 2 exams (on 10/02 and 17/02) and student 5 had 3 exams (on 4/02, 12/02 and 25/02). Student 4 deserves 14 days, while student 5 deserves 21 days and thus the pair deserves ceil(0.5*14+0.5*21) = 18 days overall.
In order to be eligible for the postponement above students should put in Benny’s mailbox on the 5th floor the following documents (attached together):
* A printout from Undergraduate Studies that shows grades for this semester (participated in the exams) when they appear. In case that some student didn’t have an exam, he shouldn’t attach anything.
* Details of both students.
* A clear calculation of the deserved extension.
A few notes:
* Students who didn’t have any exams do not deserve extension.
* No extension beyond the one stated above would be given
* You should plan your time wisely and split your work between the partners for both ex2 and ex3.

Due date is 13/3.
TA in charge of it is Oded Ben Dov.
The exercise is in CShell.
We gave you a lot of time until the dead line, so you can manage your time
as you like during the recovery of the semester. This does not mean other
exercises will not be given until the dead line, so you should still manage
your time efficiently.
Also, students who have tests in the current testing period are entitled
to an aditional postponement, but this is set by the general CS faculty
staff, and is not specific to Matam.
Examples and a pdf version will be available in the next couple of days.
Godspeed everyone,
Oded.

| Lecture to CS students by the Haifux club. | In several CS courses - mainly Matam, Data Structures and Operating Systems, students face the often-unfamiliar Linux environment, and use it to hand in course exercises. Experienced users have often seen them have difficulty with these topics, which the lecture will cover:
* Getting around in a Linux environment (through graphical UI andcommandline)
* Compiling multi-source-file programs properly - first into object (.o) files, then linking
* Creating and using Makefiles
Furthermore, two very good reasons for students to enjoy (or suffer less, anyway) programming in Linux will be presented:
* The Data Display Debugger (DDD), a graphical debugger to make pointer-based data structures almost too easy...
* Valgrind, for when you do dumb stuff with memory
Additional tips and tricks will be given, which should be very useful for Matam students for the first two exercises (especially the second). The only recommended prior knowledge is basic C programming (for example, Intro to CS). The lecture will demonstrate on a Linux environment, but the topics apply also to using T2 directly.
Lecture slides for the first part are available here:
http://www.haifux.org/lectures/152-sil/
The lecture will take place on 24/12. Contact Ohad Lutzky for further information (lutzky at gmail dot com)
NOTE: This is a re-run of the two lectures given last semester.
However, experienced users will be available to answer questions you may have. |

| Tutorial on debugging in Visual Studio | A complementary tutorial on the subject of "Working with Visual Studio, with emphasis on debugging" will take place this Wednesday, 12:30, at Taub 7. The tutorial is not mandatory, nor is it part of the formal material taught in the course. However, we believe you'll find it very useful for the homework assignments as it will show you how to code in the Visual Studio environment, and more importantly will present basic skills of debugging - the "art" of finding mistakes in your program.
Good day,
Matam Staff.
