Lectures	Homework	Programming Assignments
Lecture 29 – December 6, 2007 Chapter 7 slides Chapter 9 slides	l Study for final l Put your project summary on your M drive as LanguageName.doc (do NOT use Word 2007), use Word 2003
Lecture 28 – December 4, 2007 Possible addendum information discussed in class can be found at the end of Lecture 28.	put a file named ADDENDUM.doc or ADDENDUM.txt on your M drive which adds information about things you left out of your summary. It should be put up there by midnight tonight. By Friday noon (not a minute later) your Summary sheets should be modified to include the Addendum information plus any other important information you omitted from the Summary sheets. You do not have to print them, you need to put them on your M drive as LanguageLastname.doc (e.g. AdaAdams.doc) Begin reviewing for final and come in with questions for me.	none
Lecture 27 - November 29, 2007	Read chapter 9 – fill in the output for the 4 .jpg links. Summary sheets for your programming language project are due on Tuesday and will NOT be accepted late.	none
Lecture 26 – November 27, 2007	Read chapter 7 Write a prolog program to solve either Agatha or the alternate problem and put it on your M drive.	Finish your Prolog Assignment on Blackboard
Lecture 25 - November 20, 2007	read chapter 16 in our text Have a happy thanksgiving Drive safely	Prolog program on Blackboard
Lecture 24 - November 15, 2007	learn the material in your text book in chapter 6 about array address computation
Lecture 23 - November 13, 2007 We will start Prolog on Tuesday - You can download an interpreter pdprolog.exe from https://users.cs.jmu.edu/adamses/public	Both classes: write a recursive Lisp program to print out the elements on a list in reverse order. Put your program on your M drive, call it reverse.lsp, and bring a printout of it to class (no folder). 2pm class - here is the program we were working on at the end of class - figure out how to fix it.	Submission 3 for your language will be due soon (next Tuesday - i.e. before Thanksgiving) - work on iteration, selection and subprograms.
Lecture 22 - November 8^th 2007 will be an assignment to be submitted electronically to Blackboard. There will be different versions for the 2 sections. Make sure you do the one for your section. It must be done and submitted during the class period for your section to earn any credit. I do NOT want printouts. If you do it in the classroom during that time, you may work in pairs otherwise it is to be an individual assignment. The TA will be present to take attendance. You should only submit one version for the two of you. Make sure you put both names in the comment field of your submission.	Find a good version of Eliza online and have fun talking to the psychologist. If your interaction is really good, capture it and print it and bring it in.	Submission2 for your language project is now visible and due electronically Monday night by 11:59pm
Lecture 21 - November 6^th 2007 pages 52-57 in our text are about LISP.	Read the lecture notes carefully BEFORE Thursday's class or you will have trouble completing the assignment in lieu of class in the allotted time. The notes are long and contain links to other documents	Submission2 for your language project is now visible and due electronically Monday night by 11:59pm
Lecture 20 - November 1^st 2007 quiz	download xlisp.exe, xlispsml.exe from https://users.cs.jmu.edu/adamses/public	See Assignment on Blackboard which must be submitted by Monday night at 11:59pm
Lecture 19 – Go Over Exam
Lecture 18 – Exam
Lecture 17 – Oct 23
Lecture 16 – October 18 Again, I have merged all of the examples we went over in class into a single .txt file which is linked below. Two things to note: almost none of the code is commented so you may have to work hard to figure out what it is doing and what the subtle differences are between examples with the same name and a different number. This is deliberate. You should make sure you understand them both for your program and for the exam. all parameters in SNOBOL are passed by value so you can not do the kind of swap we were able to do in FORTRAN (by default) and in Pascal with VAR parameters. In-Class Examples	study for exam on Thursday the 25^th	continue working on assignment 8
Lecture 15 – October 16	if you didn't already put the code for the program you bright to class (see assignment from October 11^th) up on your N (or M drive – I don't remember which it is) please do so now to receive full credit for the assignment.	Start working on Assignment8 (Snobol program) which you need to submit to Blackboard.
Lecture 14 - October 11, 2007 Note: all of the Snobol programs referred to in the lecture notes have been merged into a single txt file which is linked below. In order to try them, you will need to save each one separately with the .sno extension. Snobol Examples	download a SNOBOL4 interpreter or compiler if you haven't already start working on project as soon as you know what your language is. E-mail me your choice from the list of available languages if it wasn't Python, Ruby or Perl. study the lecture notes and run all of the programs that are linked to them. there may be a quiz on the Snobol material in the notes or on the programs bring your books to class	See if you can write a snobol4 program to count the number of vowels in a line of text. Hint: look up how to form a pattern using ANY. Bring a printout to class. DO NOT submit it to Blackboard. DO make sure that it is available on your N drive.
Lecture 13 - October 9, 2007 is currently incomplete.	problems 12 and 13 on page 247 of text. Do each on separate page.
