Here’s a list of extra materials that you can use to practice your coding skills and understanding of the material taught in class:

Coding practice

  • Note When you sign up, focus on doing 8 kyu problems, and after signing up, where it says “Your next challenge”, change the focus to fundamentals.

• GeeksForGeeks
• Leetcode
  • Note: Leetcode can have a bit of a tricky way of setting difficulty, so some of their “easy” problems aren’t as easy for absolute beginners (All the links above this one are a a bit better at this). I reccommend taking a look at this list and doing the questions under “Strings” for now

Week 0, Labs 1.1, 1.2, and HW0 are now open on Codio.

Week 0 assignments are just to get you familiar with the Codio environment and won’t take long. Lab 1.1 and 1.2 are also available. You can work on these individually or in random groups (Preferred) during lab time tomorrow. The TAs and I will be on the call to pop into breakout rooms and answer any questions you may have.

HW0 is to be done alone, because it’s about you :).

The Unix Commands Assignment is for your reference, but I STRONGLY recommend doing it, so you’re familiar with running commands in the terminal (which you will be doing a lot in your matriculation).

Please make sure to mark the assignment as Complete when you’re done to indicate that it’s ready to be graded.

If you’re not signed up for Codio, please do it before the lab tomorrow. www.shortl.io/cs0-codio-signup

If you are having trouble finding the class on Piazza, I have added a helpful video. You will have to download it (or connect a third-party video player to Google Drive) in order to watch it. Let me know if you have any questions.
