A sample midterm exam can be found here. After you try it, you can find the answers here. Questions 3, 4, 8, and 9 pertain to topics we haven\'t covered, so you don\'t need to worry about them.

Recitation is cancelled this week.

Project 1 Assigned

Wed, 19 Jan 2011 14:57:04 GMT

Project 1 is assigned, due Sunday, February 6, 2011 by midnight. The assignment sheet can be found below.

I am providing two OGG files (a form of music file) called with.ogg (that has a tag at the end of the file) and none.ogg (that has no tag) to test your project on. You can copy them to your directory by:

cp ~jrmst106/public/cs449/*.ogg .

The dot at the end is critical, as it represents the current directory name. Note that the files have been shrunk to fit better in your AFS quota and likely won\'t play anymore. This won\'t affect your project.

Please don\'t include these files in your submission.
