This is planned to be like the other 2 exams, and focused on what we have done in Erlang. Gene will hold a review session for Erlang in room HEC 356 from noon to 5pm on Tuesday April 23.

Tests for the last two problems were corrected (to eliminate some race conditions) at about 4:42pm on Saturday April 13; if you got the test cases or the PDF earlier than that, you should redownload. Also on Sunday morning at about 7:37 the PDF was updated, to clarify problem 2. On Tuesday morning the description of problem 4 was corrected to properly refer to start/1, which is used in the problem (not start/0).

The rules for this makeup are as follows. You must either see Gary in person to go over your exam 2, or you must do the makeup work in the previously mentioned file and bring evidence that you have done that (on paper) to the exam. Your grade on this makeup exam will replace your exam 2 grade. (If you see Gary in person, you don't have to do all the work in the file, but you are still encouraged to do that in order to get a better grade.)

Don't forget to also do problem 1, which is due on the 11th at 11pm (along with problem 2).

This is now corrected in the hw5-tests.zip file.

Gary Leavens will hold a review session for exam 2 in room 0122 of the Business Administration Building (BA) from 7pm to 8:00pm on Thursday, May 21. The exam itself is, as noted in the syllabus, on Mar. 28, in class.

If you choose to work together with another student, you must certify that you worked together jointly as described in the grading policy linked from this news item. Home Page of COP 4020 http://www.eecs.ucf.edu/~leavens/COP4020/examples/index.html http://www.eecs.ucf.edu/~leavens/COP4020Spring13/examples/index.html Wed, 06 Feb 2013 22:06:00 EST There is now a page of Code examples in Haskell available. This may be helpful for learning Haskell and understanding the homework problems.

Thanks to John Singleton for pointing out our mistake.

There is no makeup for participation grades for such questions, as they are intended to encourage attendance and participation during class.

We also decided to study Erlang for message passing and possibly distributed programming afterwards. The syllabus will be updated to reflect this.

Please read the "about" page and the "resources" page, and think about what programming langauges you would like to learn about this semester. Home Page of COP 4020 http://www.eecs.ucf.edu/~leavens/COP4020/about.shtml http://www.eecs.ucf.edu/~leavens/COP4020Spring13/about.shtml Mon, 07 Jan 2013 13:00:00 EST There are two books on reserve at the UCF library, which can be used as supplements for this course: "Essentials of Programming Langauges" by Friedman, Wand, and Haynes, and "Programming Language Concepts and Paradigms" by Watt. These may be useful for general background. Home Page of COP 4020 http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html Tue, 10 Jan 2012 10:45:00 EST This news item links to the essay I mentioned in class by Paul Graham (from the book "Hackers and Painters") about the expressive power of Lisp and functional programming, and how it helped in a startup company. Home Page of COP 4020 http://www.eecs.ucf.edu/~leavens/COP4020/meeting-outlines/ http://www.eecs.ucf.edu/~leavens/COP4020Spring13/meeting-outlines/ Tue, 10 Jan 2012 09:59:00 EST A set of "meeting outlines" will be available for each unit, before lectures start for that unit. These are designed for taking notes as they contain an outline and much of what I'll show you in class, but without all the really important bits. This may be helpful if you don't want to be distracted by copying things down, or if it helps you to focus on the important parts. However, I always update them as I prepare for lecture, and so don't print them out until the last minute. They are linked from the syllabus also, so if you want to get the meeting outlines for where we are in the syllabus, just click on the topic name in the syllabus.
