So, What does this program do? Different variations of WDTPD Questions vary, but typically it uses pseudocode, which is basically just code but not codes, and with pseudocode, it could do a variety of things. However, most of the time it asks for the output. And, there's going to be one only. We're going to simulate that single one. Find the output.

and also 9/14/22 optional practice because I forgot to put it here So, Recursive Functions. Recursive Functions always look something along the lines of this-> Given f(x) or maybe f(x,y), find a number related to that So, let's say that I'm trying to find f(5) in this sample question. Because 5 is greater than 1, then it falls into the second category. So f(5) = f(4) + f(3) Now we find f(4) and f(3) f(4) = f(3) + f(2) f(3) = f(2) + f(1) f(2) = f(1) + f(0) f(1) = 1 f(0) = 0 And then you fill it up with the info you know f(2) = f(1) + f(0) = 1 + 0 = 1 f(3) = f(2) + f(1) = 1 + 1 = 2 f(4) = f(3) + f(2) = 2 + 1 = 3 f(5) = f(4) + f(3) = 3 + 2 = 5 Therefore, f(5) = 5 Homework: other homework for 9/14 bc i forgor 💀

Today(yesterday because I made these too late), you learned about Computer Number Systems To Convert from: Hex -> Binary Sample number: 56 5 = 0101 6 = 0110 56H = 1010110 Same process but with 3 digits for octal Binary -> Decimal Sample Number: 110 1 1 0 2^2 + 2^1 = 4+2=6 Anything else that I probably didn't describe, ask it here and I'll respond. - Davey, the TA

Stack: They go by the Philosophy: "Last in, First out" A can of chips or times when the way in is the way out. Queue: They go by the Philosophy: "First in, First out" A straight line, where you would wait for a while. Binary Search Tree: A tree that uses the alphabet as its measuring tape. ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ For Example: Coding C O > C so O will go to the right of C D > C so D 1718 INTJR

Class Notes: Shifts - Shift to the right or left Circ - Moves bits from the right to the left and vice versa Order of Operations(I'm giving this to you during this homework but normally you are expected to memorize it) (and trust me, you will need it) XOR < OR < AND < NOT NOT 0 -> 1, 1 ->0 AND Best known as Multiplication 0 AND 1 -> 0 0 AND 0 -> 0 1 AND 1 -> 1 OR Best known as addition 0 OR 1 -> 1 0 OR 0 -> 0 1 OR 1 -> 1 XOR Are they the same? If yeah, 0. If no, 1 0 XOR 0 -> 0 0 XOR 1 -> 1 1 XOR 1 -> 0

Since Tyler couldn't make it today, I will be explaining our new topic, Data Structures. There are 4 types of Data Structures: Stacks Queues Binary Search Trees Priority Queues Let's take this example: In Stacks and Queues, You'll see the methods PUSH and POP. PUSH inserts an item into the stack/queue. POP has different effects based on whether it's a Stack or a Queue. When using POP, Stacks uses the rule "First in, Last out." This signifies that POP would take out the most recent item inserted. For example, the first POP in this stack would remove R from the stack. On the other hand, Queues use the rule "First in, First out." This signifies that POP would take out the thing in the first "slot." In this case, the first POP in the above queue would remove F, unlike the R it would remove if it was a Stack. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i was never good at this part of this it might suck A tree has these features. The "root" is the first node, its "children" is the following few nodes. Take the Example, ACSL A is the top and Z is the bottom when it comes to higher and lower A is our first letter, so it starts as the root of our tree. C is "less" or "lower" than A alphabetically, so it goes to the right of the parent. S is "lower" than C and A on the alphabet, so it goes to the right of C. L is "higher" than S on the alphabet, but "lower" than A and C, so it goes to the left of S. And that is our Binary Search Tree of ACSL. I'm going to make a funny joke, so we are going to make a Binary Search tree of "Amogus" Our first step is to set A as our parent node. Then we continue with the same logic as always. M is "lower" on the alphabet than A, so it goes to the right of A. O is "lower" than both A and M, so it goes to the right of M. G is "lower" than A, but "higher" than M, so it goes to the left of M. The Binary Search tree should look like this when you're done: I didn't mention everything, so if you're confused about something, let me know in the comments. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Priority Queues I'm actually not too good with this, so, I suggest you look it up or make the slides that I hope Tyler made. Now for the actual HW part: 1. 2 & 3.

We learned about Boolean Algebra and the functions of AND, OR, NOT, XOR, XNOR, and NAND. From Intermediate Contest 3 2017-2018 From Senior Contest 3 2019-2020 is XOR 5. Make a Truth Table to the best of your ability of the following (It's ok if you don't understand/finish this question, this question is time consuming and hard too)

The operations such as OR, AND, NOR, and XOR are not the only type of Bitstring Flicking. Stuff like LShift and RCirc also exist too. 1. RSHIFT-1(LSHIFT-1(RSHIFT-1(LSHIFT-1(RSHIFT-1(LSHIFT-1(11011))))) 2. LCIRC-3(10010 OR NOT(01101)) AND RSHIFT-2(NOT(RCIRC-1(00111 OR NOT(10111))) 3 & 4:
