TRAKLA2 - Exercises

You can download the following exercises (a gzipped tar-ball) to your local file system to be used without an internet connection. However, the latest release is always available on this site to be used through a web browser as well. Just click one of the exercise links below and a new page will be opened that has the assignment and the corresponding exercise applet (requires Java 2 enabled web browser, see also the support page for more details by following this link or by clicking the picture on the right).

Introduction

TRAKLA2 exercises are intended for Data Structures and Algorithms course. Each exercise is an independent learning object that you can interact with and receive immediate feedback on your performance in terms of automatic assessment, i.e., the system reports the number of correct steps out of the maximum steps when requested. In addition, the model solutions are available for each exercise. Read the tutorial on our on-line support page to learn more about the exercises.

All you need to do the exercises is a Java enabled web browser. We have two versions available. The full learning environment requires on-line connection while solving an exercise (see free registration, and http://trakla.cs.hut.fi/). However, we have also provided the following set of exercises with reduced functionality (Grading does not submit the answer anywhere) that can be used off-line without an internet connection. For example, a lecturer can demonstrate the working of an algorithm or a learner is able to practise an algorithm after the lecture. Each time an exercise is initialized, a new instance of the exercise is produced, thus making it possible to provide individually tailored exercises and allow practise an algorithm with unlimited number of times.

Exercises

The material (currently over 50 exercises and their variations) is divided into the following 8 categories according to their subject matter. As you can see, the material is under development as the exercises do not fully cover any category. More exercises will be created in the future we are willing to hear from you if you have novel ideas for new exercises. Please, fill in the feedback form and send your comments and suggestions.
