Lecture 13: COMP1917 Higher Computing - Richard Buckland UNSW

[jhamien920]

He talks really fast like a computer. But I like the way he teaches. It interests me.

does anyone know what the TASK ONE assignment was that year? It had something to do with Vikings....or Task two? it would make it easier to follow along!

thanks!

@snazelle The task was writing a program that took in a number and printed out how a viking would've pronounced it. Here's the test program used for demonstration: htAtp://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.Aau/~­hs1917/10s1/bjorn/index.cgi (remove upper case A's)

I lie to the compiler.

The rest of the COMP1917 lectures aren't easy to find. Help?

39:06 hilarious!

For any who are curious, at 37:00 when he guesses that the 2 empty bytes are due to divisibility by 4, he is actually correct. The problem is he forgot it was allocating from the bottom of his graph. If you look at it you will see that there are 6 bytes stored in 2 4-byte chunks, leaving a two byte gap at the end between the byte variables and the int. This means the final address of each 4-byte chunk is divisible by 4 (the final empty byte is 48, which divides evenly).

Any paraody of Richard's lecture style would have to involve a hand on the forehead.

Ow wow, this guy is so good with metaphores. I absolutely loved the way he explained memorymaps using his movie collection shelving.

Excellent!

i dont think u gotta do it like

pointer+1; if its a byte pointer

could u do like

pointer+=6 or whatever pointer=pointer+6;
