Course Assignments

• Assignment 1 Linked Lists
• Assignment 2 Vectors, Stacks, Queues
• Assignment 3 Trees
• Assignment 4 Heaps
• Assignment 5 Hashtable. The data file of 22,368 IP numbers & hostnames is at bigIPFile.new. If you are interested, the original Domain Name Sever (DNS) cache file is at bigIPFile.txt and the perl file I wrote to convert it is at bigIPFile.pl. Recommendation: use a smaller data file while debugging your program.
• Assignment 6 Distributed Interactive Simulation and dis-java-vrml
