Homework 0: Getting Setup for CS0200

Due Date: ASAP! (ideally Friday, January 28th)

Welcome!

Welcome to CS0200! We're excited to get to know and work with each and every one of you. Before we get started, there are a few steps you need to take in order to get ready for the semester :)

If you have questions on any of this, ask us on Ed Discussions!

Step 1: Setting up your software

We'll need a couple of different IDEs (Integrated Development Environments - think of them as Microsoft Word/Google Docs but for code) to complete our work this semester: IntelliJ and VSCode. We'll use IntelliJ for the Java portion of this class, and we'll switch to VSCode during when we start using Python.

Note: If you've taken CS0150, you may already have IntelliJ. Good for you! However, there's still some extra IntelliJ set up necessary that's specific to CS0200, so you will still need to follow along with the set up guide.

Task: Set up IntelliJ and Java by following the steps outlined in the IntelliJ Guide

Task: Set up VSCode + Python by following the steps outlined in the VSCode + Installing Python Guide

Setting up software is oftentimes the most frustrating process of the entire semester. Please feel free to come by TA hours (times are posted on the website) for help through this process!

Step 2: Setting up GitHub

In CS200, we'll be using GitHub and GitHub Classroom for all of your homework assignments and partner projects! If you already have a GitHub account, feel free to skip this step

Task: If you have not used GitHub in the past, follow the steps outlined in the GitHub Guide to create an account and configure your computer

Step 3: Lab Selection

Use the form below to select your top two lab time preferences. This is very important (and not optional)! If you don't select a lab, you won't be signed up for one.

Task: Fill out the lab selection form

Step 4: Background Survey

Task: Fill out the CS200 background survey so we can get to know a bit more about you and the needs of the class as a whole.

Please let us know if you find any mistakes, inconsistencies, or confusing language in this or any other CSCI0200 document by filling out the anonymous feedback form.

CS200 Final Exam Prep Guide

The final, just like the midterm, will be conceptual. While you may be asked to fill in a line of code or look at code, it is not a programming exam. The questions will not be designed to trick you, nor will they introduce new content. Previous exams that Kathi wrote for cs18 are in the Final Prep folder in Canvas, under the Files section. Finals prior to 2020 were given paper-and-pencil on campus (as your format will be). Finals from 2020 and 2021 were given online. The 2020 exam covered a different set of learning objectives: question 3 from the 2020 final will not be covered on your exam. Bear in mind that these exams were written for a slightly different course that used Scala instead of Python in the second half. Office Hours: While the TAs will not hold hours after the Search deadline, Kathi and/or Milda will be available for questions. Logistics

Project 3: Search

Due Date: Tuesday, May 3, 2022 at 11:59pm ET Design Checks: April 19-22, 2022 Gear Up: April 19th, 6-7 PM, Zoom Link :::info This handout is mighty long, but it contains information vital to your success on this project. Please take the time to read it in its entirety before coming to TA hours or posting on Ed. ::: Overview In this project, you will be making your own search engine. This will consist of two steps: indexing and querying. You will also be implementing the PageRank algorithm for optimizing your search results based on relevance. This handout will take you through the basics of each of those steps and give you an overview of the Python libraries you will need to use in order to perform some of the required operations. Because you are potentially processing very large data, you will have to consider time and space efficiency when you design your approach.

Project 2: Travel Planner

Gear-up: Sunday, March 13 at 3pm ET at this link! Design Check: March 14-16, 2022 Due Date: Thursday, March 24, 2022 at 11:59pm ET :::warning Note on stencil code: You'll receive invitations to join your repository with the stencil code shortly after project pairings are out. ::: Overview In this project, you will be designing a system that will allow a user (e.g. Pitbull aka tall Mr. Worldwide) to plan travel routes that meet their needs (though it's likely he's already been there, done that). Specifically, users can load a travel graph, then request routes according to one of 3 priorities:
