CS371p Spring 2022: Week 14 What did you do this past week? We went through some examples talking about static and dynamic binding, went through more of the specs for the Life project, did an exercise implementing the Circle class, and briefly talked about the virtual keyword. What’s in your way? As the semester is…

CS371p Spring 2022: Week 13 What did you do this past week? We learned about r-value references, which is denoted in C++ syntax with the double ampersand. We also did an exercise where we implemented move assignment and the move constructor for my_vector. Downing also taught us about move elision, which I will have to…

CS371p Spring 2022: Week 12 What did you do this past week? I worked with my partner a good amount this past week to finish up Darwin. I also worked a lot to finish up a graphics project that was due on the same day as Darwin. In class, we went over iterators on Monday…

CS371p Spring 2022: Week 11 What did you do this past week? On Monday, we did an exercise to implement a stack. On Wednesday, we went over sequential containers such as vector, deque, forward_list, and list, as well as container adapters such as stack, queue, and priority_queue. We then compared and contrasted these data structures…

CS371p Spring 2022: Week 10 What did you do this past week? On Monday, we talked about the properties of vectors. On Wednesday, we discussed the time complexities and properties of of different data structures, including deques and stacks, and contrasted them to each other. We also talked about how deques are internally represented. …

CS371p Spring 2022: Week 9 What did you do this past week? I attended class and worked on the Allocator project. On Monday, we talked more about the Allocator specs. On Wednesday, we did an exercise on implementing a digits iterator. On Friday, we talked about vectors. What’s in your way? In the Allocator project…

CS371p Spring 2022: Week 8 What did you do this past week? Since the project wasn’t released until Thursday, I mostly just focused on going to class and reviewing the notes. In class, we went over the difference between built in stack arrays, standard arrays, and pointers. We also went over iterators and did an…

CS371p Spring 2022: Week 7 What did you do this past week? On Monday, we talked about how important it is to catch exceptions by reference, and not by value or address, because it prevents making another copy of the exception and we also have access to all the data. On Wednesday, we went over…

CS371p Spring 2022: Week 6 What did you do this past week? We dove deeper into talking about the differences between & and * and the contexts in which you can use them.
