Welcome to CS140! This class is named "Data Structures and Algorithms I". In this course, you will be going back to C++ (from your last class) and continue to learn more about it. Furthermore, you will also cover more about how to actually implement some of the features and algorithms of the STL library, and understand Data Structures (hence the course name).

This time around, I'm the head TA of the course. Each of you are assigned one of eleven lab sections. Each lab section is around 50 minutes long. The TA(s) you get for each section are listed down below. They are formatted as "Lead TA & Assistant TA".

• Section 1 (8:00 - 8:50): Clara Nguyễn & Tyson Beach
• Section 2 (9:00 - 9:50): Clara Nguyễn & Tyson Beach
• Section 3 (10:00 - 10:50): Clara Nguyễn & Tyson Beach
• Section 4 (11:00 - 11:50): Clara Nguyễn & Angel Kodituwakku
• Section 5 (12:00 - 12:50): Clara Nguyễn & Angel Kodituwakku
• Section 6 (13:00 - 13:50): Brian Horsburgh & Angel Kodituwakku
• Section 7 (14:00 - 14:50): Angel Kodituwakku & Dylan Rotunno
• Section 8 (15:00 - 15:50): Brian Horsburgh & Dylan Rotunno
• Section 9 (16:00 - 16:50): Brian Horsburgh & Dylan Rotunno
• Section 10 (17:00 - 17:50): Dylan Rotunno & Tyson Beach
• Section 11 (18:00 - 18:50): Dylan Rotunno & Tyson Beach

Changes due to COVID-19:
Because of COVID-19, the way the course is handled is different. For all lab sessions where I do sketches on a whiteboard (or intend to), I will post those online. You may find these here. These notes usually give hints to push you to success on lab assignments. Though it might also consist of homework explanations, mentions of schedule changes, and the like. Either way, you don't have to take notes if you don't want to.

This section will have links to guides or documentation that I write and find valuable for this course. Typically it's for common issues I notice among students. Check frequently!

• Introduction to the Terminal
• Lab Submission Guidelines (Gregor Ver.)
• Introduction to GDB

In lab, I may write various example programs on a projector or write concepts on the board. I archive every file from every lab session, and may put them up online (depending on the material). I do not post lab solutions.

Each module below will have tags that will let you to tell what content is in them. Here are the possible tags you may find:

Mini-Guides	Mini-guides on concepts that you will use in each lab.
Template Code	Template code that is for the assignment is given.
Simulator	There is a simulator to compare your code results to.
Lab Hints	There are lab instructions, procedures, suggested development order, or hints.
Side Files	There are files on file.claranguyen.me for that module. These are "SIDE" files, which may be miscellaneous programs, notes, or board drawings. As such they may help you on the lab assignment, but they may not.
None	No guide available.

Just a heads up: Do not rely on me writing guides. I may write them... And I may not. I recommend taking notes just in case. There may not even be a lab guide. In that case, the module will be greyed out and unclickable.
