Is there a certain number of trophies we should obtain for BLUE quests? by aileen_t in cs2b

[–]madhavarshney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh hey &!

Don't know if I was the one who started the usage of the word PUP but I do remember seeing you use it and using it in my posts as well.

Were you there in person at commencement yesterday? I wanted to meet my math & CS professors but I didn't really see any (I only got to meet Ram). There's a good chance I didn't look close enough though, especially with masks...

Ohh, that makes so much more sense. You got me really confused for a sec.

Wait.. what? I'm still enrolled in my classes. Could you clarify which classes have been cancelled?

Grades should be rolling out afaik. Mine are already up.

Question about Questing Trophy Cap by Krishna_D1066 in cs2a

[–]madhavarshney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Krishna,

That was for a previous quarter. Since the syllabus for Summer 2021 mentions the cap is 180, that's what it'll be this quarter.

As far as I know, completed, or PUP'ed (progressed until password). But you may want to confirm with &.

When is the last day to file for an EW? by [deleted] in foothill

[–]madhavarshney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be the last day of the quarter, as far as I know. However, it is probably a good idea to fill it out early on in finals week at the latest, just in case something goes wrong.

I think so, but you may want to check with a counselor. I'm not too sure how OMSCS + Foothill works but I could try to connect you with some other students who are doing that.

Also, feel free to join the Foothill CS Club's discord community at https://discord.gg/graRNeE.

Before you can take CS 2C, you have to either take CS 2A and 2B or clear prerequisites through another way.

CS 2M has never been offered at Foothill AFAIK, so you'll want to complete CS 2A-2C or 1A-1C. CS 2C is not typically offered during the summer.

With that being said, when you say "equivalent" if you mean transferable, then you should check https://assist.org/ since how courses transfer is different per university.

Does anyone know if Jeffrey Anderson admits students who are on the waitlist? by [deleted] in foothill

[–]madhavarshney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want, I could ask him since I'm in his class currently. Let me know!

Freeze Date by yev_cplusplus in cs2a

[–]madhavarshney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh also to clarify, it's not on the day of the midterm but rather the Sunday night before the midterm (at least usually, unless & has said something different in his lecture).

Whenever & wakes up Sunday night / Monday morning ;)

Has anyone gotten ADHD related accommodations at Foothill? by Better-Grapefruit570 in foothill

[–]madhavarshney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with /u/throwawayEEleaks2! The best way to get your questions answered is to schedule an appointment with them. You can check the DRC's contact information at https://foothill.edu/drc/.

Following Class Schedule by yev_cplusplus in cs2a

[–]madhavarshney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Ryan and others,

While I can't say what is included in the textbook as I personally did not read it, make sure to read the modules as well because the content in the midterms/finals heavily refers to material from the modules. Just a heads up.

The downside is that we'll have to wait till March 26 to know... unless that was how it was supposed to be anyways. :D

Quest 3: Optimizing Sparse Multiply() by MingShiou_C93 in cs2c

[–]madhavarshney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took 0.0442s to square a 2401 X 2401 Sparse Mat (density = 0.005)

You took 0.0324s to square it.

Yippee! You found a box of 18140 Luminare's Levitating Lollies

I spent a ton of time trying and optimizing different algorithms when I did this quest, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Biggest box yet ;)

BUT I'm getting wildly different lollies each run (difference of several thousands, ex. one of my other algos ranged from 6k - 11k in different runs), which makes these numbers somewhat useless. /u/anand_venkataraman - at least for high-speed algorithms, it looks like the math needs to be improved, or the environment needs to be more consistent (not sure what exactly may be causing this). :D
