Complete Topic 8 if not already completed.
Step 1:
Go through any of Bucky’s tutorials that you didn’t complete
Use codeblocks and do the tutorials instead of just watching the video.
In a number of cases, you are being asked to view and do the tutorial
more than once. If you have already understood, you can skip the
particular video tutorial.
Note that things are getting a little complicated. So if you have
skipped any work from before, go back and complete.
Step 2:
Go through the Content powerpoints. Pay attention to the BST powerpoint
for the practical work.
In the lab/assignment, you would normally be asked to provide a rational for
your data structures. In this video for BST justification one particular example
is used.
In the video, the tree algorithm is modified to cater for a new requirement.
This approach is not acceptable – see Open Closed Principle. Think of a better
solution. Other than that, the video explains the BST and its use very **well**.
Step 3:
Read the textbook chapters – In a number of cases, you are being
asked to read a particular chapter more than once because they are
important. If you have already understood the chapter, you can skip.
o Chapter on Trees
Step 4:
Start on LabExcTopic09-ass in the Practical Folder. This lab is
assessed by your tutor. Follow the instructions given lab exercise.
This lab is preparation for assignment 2, complete it ASAP.
Be mindful of the advice given in the lab document. It is preparation
for the project/assignment 2. If you do not start the topic 9
practical, you might not finish assignment 2 when available.
Once you have completed the above, you are ready for the next topic.
If you have not understood something, make note of it to discuss during the
workshop/lab where you meet the lecturer/tutor.
