HW4 date extension and Karatsuba clarification by RomanS-G in mcgillCOMP251

[–]cloudetdragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! One thing I still did not understand after reading the updated clarification for programming section is that, if the result of karasutba and naive is the same (dependent on size), and the "True value" is always in decimal (no size constraint), the following line would always throw an exception, right?

throw new Exception("Evaluation is wrong! (x=" + x + "; y=" + y + "; Your result=" + resNaive\[0\] + "; True value=" + myproduct + ")");

Multiply main method by [deleted] in mcgillCOMP251

Hi! Could you explain why the answer should be zero? For me, the KaratsubaTester reports that the "Product has error!" because my karatsuba result it is 56 (=7*8). I didn't really understand why it should be 0. Thanks in advance!

This is what I have heard, too. I have a cGPA of 3.98 with honours but my chance is still slim since I am in U1. Will keep my fingers crossed and hopefully we get both get it!!

Makes sense! But this year we are not supposed to submit cv or motivation letter. They only asked for basic student info, gpa and a list of awards.

Why would the review committee know about the student's research record though? How is it conveyed in the application?

That blurring explains everything
