No homework for this week because we need time to figure out repl.it. Here are the slideshows though: Course overview: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1-JOPp45VfS0adZ3CdmWeWoVqmVtoaleE9yvd7zr01Bw/edit?usp=sharing Lesson: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1vPB5I9h4OWOHG28T8JuZUSHwSKjvZZqktLnJV1q8r4M/edit?usp=sharing

Start out with an empty list of lists. What are the contents of row 2 after these operations? BONUS: Instead of using a 2D array, it is possible, though more complicated, to use a 1D array instead. For example, this would be how to convert a 2x2 array to a 1D array with 4 elements: Given the index of an element of the 1D array, how can you convert it into the indices for the same element in the 2D array? For example, an index of 1 would be come (0,1) in the 2D array.

In case anybody is still confused about logic operators, more information can be found here: http://www.categories.acsl.org/wiki/index.php?title=Bit-String_Flicking (or you can look it up yourself). I've also attached a table of what each operation outputs for reference. HW Questions (Do stuff in brackets first!): LSHIFT-2(10011 XOR 00110) OR (LCIRC-2(RCIRC-2(10001))) ( (RSHIFT-3(01000) XOR NOT(00110) ) AND (01101 OR RCIRC-2(10011)) BONUS: What should X be to satisfy the following equation? (There are multiple answers; name as many as you want!) X AND 11010 = 01000

What are the results of these binary equations? Express your answer in binary as well. 11010110 + 1101101 = 11010000 – 10110011 = 1010110 × 110 = 10011010 ÷ 111 = What is the result of this mixed equation?

You've completed the last class of this course! The finals contest is on Saturday so here is some material to help review. Do as much as you think you need. If you have forgotten anything, this website can help you review: http://www.categories.acsl.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page. Boolean Algebra: Bit-String Flicking: Let X = abcde. Solve the following bit string equation for X: (LCIRC-3 (RSHIFT-1 X) OR 11010 AND NOT (RCIRC-2 10001)) = ((LSHIFT-2 10101) XOR 01110) Solve for X (5-bits) in the following equation: NOT X AND (LSHIFT-1(RCIRC-2 01011)) = 10000 What is the final value of X? X = 11010011010 FOR k = 1 TO 71 X = (RCIRC-k X) NEXT k Recursive Functions: Digital Electronics: Prefix-Infix-Postfix: Given the following operations: % means MOD (integer remainder) such that 5%2 = 1 and \ means DIV (integer quotient) such that 5\3 = 1, evaluate the following prefix expressions if A=5, B=12, C=8, and D=20. Note that all numbers in the original expression are single digits. / - ^ \ * C - - D A B A \ ^ % + A C - D B 2 7 1 - B % B A The trinary operator diff takes 3 arguments a, b, and c and returns the maximum of abs(a-b), abs(b-c), and abs(a-c), where abs(x) is the absolute value of x. Evaluate the following prefix expression: diff / 8 2 diff + 2 1 – 4 3 ↑ 2 3 * 2 3 Define the following unary operators as: # = largest prime number less than a & = smallest prime number greater than a Evaluate the following prefix expression: − / * + # 3 & 6 # 12 # 4 / / * 4 + / 6 # 3 & 2 # 3 & 2 Computer Number Systems: Tickets for a concert were numbered from 1 16 to AA 16 . If when the ticket number is converted to binary it contains the string “10101”, then the lucky ticket holders will receive a Back Stage Pass for after the concert. How many (one pass per winning ticket) passes were given out if the concert was sold out? The ACSL hardware engineers have recently developed a 5-bit memory chip using radical new biotechnology. Unfortunately, the chip melts whenever a value containing the pattern "101" appears within the 5 bits. Of the 32 possible values that the chip can hold, how many will cause the chip to melt? How many of the binary representations of the numbers from 2 to 2047, inclusive, are palindromes? (Lead digit cannot be 0.) What Does This Program Do?: Data Structures: Given the binary search tree for LOSANGELESCA, delete the root node. List the nodes at depth 3 from left to right. Using the ACSL definition, build a heap from the keys N E W H A M P S H I R E (in that order). List the nodes at depth 2, from left to right. Given an initially empty stack and the string DISNEYWORLDORLANDOFLORIDA, perform the following: pop if it is a vowel and push if it is a consonant. If the next string added is a vowel, what item would be popped? Vowels are A, E, I, O, U. Graph Theory: In a directed graph, the paths represent streets from one intersection to another. The intersections are: {A, B, C, D, E, F, G}. The streets are: {AB, BF, EF, CD, ED, DC, EB, FA, GF, FE, BE, CE, GA, FG, AG, FB}. A new one-way street was added from B to C and the two-way street between F and G was closed due to non-use. What was the change in the number of cycles from A between the first directed graph and the second one? Answers: Boolean Algebra: ABC (0, 0, 1), (1, 0, 0) Bit-String Flicking: *0*1* 0*1** 10101101001 Recursive Functions: 11 15 -15 Digital Electronics: 1 4 12 Prefix-Infix-Postfix: 6.3 3 29 Computer Number Systems: 15 11 93 What Does This Program Do?: 90 40 II,III,V Data Structures: E,O H, H, M, P F Graph Theory: 2 fewer 0 11
