Dear students,

the programming 2 main exam will take place on August 5th. In order to participate, you must register in LSF until July 29th. Consult the Study Coordination in case of difficulties registering in LSF, consult us via the forum if you need a certificate for your Erasmus or Juniorstudies programme. Find more information in the slides of lecture 23.

Moreover, the last Programming 2 lecture of 2024 was given on July 16th, meaning that there will be no more lectures on July 19th, 23rd, and 26th.

On July 30th, we offer to answer your questions in the lecture time slot 14:00–16:00 in E1.3, Lecture Hall 002. Please bring well-prepared, sharp and to the point questions. Due to the limited time, we will not be able to explain concepts from scratch (that is the regular lecture’s job), but we will be happy to discuss open questions about the lecture’s topics.

Best,
The Programming 2 Team

Dear Students,

On upcoming Friday I am seriously blocked starting from 9:00 AM and there is no short-term replacement in sight. Luckily, the material on hashing is almost covered, it will take another 30 minutes to complete it. As a result, I will present the missing material starting 08:25 in GHH, and will stop at 08:55.

Since this is probably asking a bit much of you to come out to such a short lecture that early in the day, I will be robust in controlling my emotions should I be almost (or entirely) on my own on that morning in GHH. In any case, I guarantee for the recording to be made available swiftly and in good quality (remember that usually there is no such guarantee).

Best,
The Programming 2 Team Leader

Dear Students,

It has surfaced that some submissions to project 4α have received unjustifiable and thus incorrect verdict in the leaderboard over the past days. In many cases, this was caused by a timeout configured wrongly and thus terminating the testing prematurely.

In response to this, and in light of several students fighting the testing infrastructure over the weekend, we have decided to extend the project 4α deadline by 48 hours (two additional days) to allow everyone to react to the changes.

With immediate effect, new commits will be judged using the updated, relaxed timeout. In due course, also repositories without recent updates will automatically be reevaluated.

The extension of the deadline of milestone 4α will shift the deadline dates of project 4ω accordingly: Milestone 4ω will be unlocked on June 20 and end on June 27.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Best,
The Programming 2 Team
