Exam

The "20%" rule applies: stating you do not know how to do answer a question earns you (exactly) 20% on that question. No aids are allowed. A list of the propositional equivalences from the textbook is provided in the exam paper.

The content is more heavily weighted towards finite state machines, regular expressions and regular languages (since the midterm did not test those, and the meaning of propositional and predicate logic is to some extent now covered in CSC165/240).

The assignments and lecture material are a good starting point for what to study, along with regularity since it was covered in the last week and so did not appear on an assignment.
