[Word Ladder Demo] [N-Grams Demo]
3	Recursion Part 1: Warm-Ups [trailer]	FRI, 10/16, 5:00PM	Handout	Starter Code 10/9 9pm: starter code and sample outputs updated to include faster pyramid option, const parameters	Human Pyramid test Sierpinski Triangle console test Sierpinski Triangle image output - order 1 Sierpinski Triangle image output - order 2 Sierpinski Triangle image output - order 3 Sierpinski Triangle image output - order 5
4	Recursion Part 2: Boggle [trailer]	WED, 10/21, 5:00PM	Handout	Starter Code	test1 test2 GUI example 1 GUI example 2 GUI example 3 We also have a demo solution for this assignment, written by Marty Stepp (how to run demos). [Boggle Demo]
5	Priority Queue [no trailer]	WED, 11/4, 5:00PM	Handout (Binomial Heap Extension)	Starter Code	[you need to match the provided .h interfaces without changing them, but there is no console or other output that you need to match]
6	Huffman Code	WED, 11/11, 5:00PM	Handout	Starter Code	There is a demo solution jar for this assignment, written by Marty Stepp (how to run demos). [Huffman Demo]
7	Trailblazer	WED, 11/18, 5:00PM	Handout	Starter Code	There is a demo solution jar for this assignment, written by Marty Stepp (how to run demos). [Trailblazer Demo]
8	Final Project	FRI, 12/4, ~~5:00PM~~ 11:59PM	Handout (handout explaining GUI extensions can be found here)	Starter Code (updated 22:15 PST on 12/01)	There is a demo solution executable file (one for Mac, one for Windows) for this assignment (with a different GUI--expected behavior should still be the same, even if the GUI looks different). Make sure you run the executable (not the JAR) for this assignment. [Stanford 1-2-3 Demo]

How to run demos (not available for all assignments):

Some assignments offer a solution 'demo' that you can run to see the program's expected behavior. On many machines, all you have to do is download the .jar file, then double-click it to run it. But on some Macs, it won't work; your operating system will say that it doesn't know how to launch the file. If you have that issue, download the file, go to the Downloads folder in your Finder, right-click on the file, and click Open, and then press Confirm. (Thanks a lot to Tommy Fang for the tip!)
