    • a copy of the following lectures and homeworks from the course website: Lperl, HWperl, Lbash, HWbash, Lmake, HWmake, Command-line basics
    • documentation of Perl and command line tools available here
    • tasks for the midterm

    • your submitted homeworks HWperl, HWbash and HWmake (files not relevant for the homework may be omitted)

Tasks

  • The tasks will be similar to HWperl, HWbash and HWmake (from HWmake, task A with qsub is not covered)
  • If you did these homeworks on your own and understand the details of your work, you should be able to solve the midterm tasks.
  • It might be a good idea to briefly review the lectures and homeworks before the midterm.
  • Small details you do not remember / have not seen before can be found in the lectures / documentation, but you will not have time to study bigger parts of these materials during midterm.
  • The midterm questions will be written in both Slovak and English, but other materials (lectures, documentation etc.) are only in English.
  • If any text answers are required, you can use Slovak or English.
