Out of town till next week

I'm on a business trip and won't be back till next week. As explained in Examination Policies and Rules , no makeup exam will be given. Please consider the various and generous extra credits already given to you. What else do you need ?

Extra Credits for the Final Grades

The following generous extra credits and grading scheme have been applied to the final grades of both courses:

• 50% of exercise grades are based on the answers and the other half are graded by the number of submissions. In other words, if you have submitted all exercises, you got 10pts towards the final grades.
• Up to 5pts extra credits for class participation (i.e. answering to the question or reading the textbook).
• Up to 10pts extra credits for the make up of the midterm exam.
• The project presentation, which is 15pts towards the final grade, has been inflated by 5/4 (+25%).

We will start the project presentation from 0900 at std4. At the beginning of the class, I need to talk to team leaders so please come to the instructor's desk. Each team has 15 minutes for presentation and I (and possible other students) may ask some questions or comments on your presentation.

LP Exercise 10 (additional info)

The assumptions for Problems 2 were not sufficient. Please use the following code for the first few lines:

case CHAR-STRING: /* handles a[i] */
  t1 <- expr(i);
        /* t1 is assigned the register name having 
        the value of i */
  t2 <- base(a);
        /* t2 is assigned the register name having 
        the address of a[0]* /
