Professor Peter Buhr, Winter 2018 These notes are incomplete and only cover pre-midterm content. 1. Advanced Control Flow Use breaks and while to avoid flag variables, flag variables are basically gotos since they can be set/reset/tested at arbitrary points in a program Don’t do things like for (;;) { s1 if(c1)...

Professor Werner Dietl, Fall 2018 I attended almost no lectures for this course, so notes are organized by slides. These notes turned out to be way more detailed than necessary. Intro software architecture: set of principal design decisions about the system, blueprint for software construction and evolution. It has 3 aspects: structure/behav...

Problem LLVM, which originally stood for Low Level Virtual Machine, was a research project into compiler framework design created by Chris Lattner and Vikram Adve at the University of Illinois in 2004. Today, the acronym LLVM has no meaning and instead refers to a collection of open source libraries that provides compilers, compiler toolchains,...

Markdown transcription of my handwritten CS 370 notes. Spelling and wording are preserved where legible; diagrams are described in brackets, and editorial clarifications are also in brackets. Floating Point Normalized form of a real number $F=\lbrace\beta,t,L,U\rbrace$: \[0.d_1d_2d_3\ldots d_t\times\beta^p\] where $d_i$ are digits in base $...

Module 1: The Economic Problem Definition of Economics Economics: Social science that studies choices that individuals, businesses, government, and societies make as they cope with scarity and incentives. People have unlimited wants, but resources are finite, so this creates a scarcity. We must then make choices or tradeoffs based on incentiv...

Professor Keiko Katsuragawa, Winter 2018 This course teaches the principles of creating user interfaces (UIs) including underlying UI architecture and algorithms, how to implement UIs from scratch and using UI frameworks, theories and methods for UI design, and an introduction to the field of human-computer interaction. Introduction user...

Professor Lin Tan, Spring 2018 Lecture 1: Intro static analysis: inspecting code in a non-runtime environment for bugs e.g. walkthrough code, code inspection dynamic analysis: monitor system memory/performance and verify that the system has the correct behaviour during program execution e.g. white box or black box testing Lecture 2: Daikon ...
