Like, better study spaces / more spacious / convenience etc

Also, can I bring my USYD friend to UNSW library to use the study space only? They don’t need to borrow books from there. What about the other way around?

Hey guys, I’m wondering which university library is better. I thought there was a thread from 2005 but I believe it might be outdated.

In my opinion, the answer is yes, definitely. I chatted with a few state ranks earlier last week and it turned out that they don't necessarily have an extensive background in coding. Sure, an extensive background will definitely help as it will help you solve those algorithm questions...

Well, remember that the HSC is an exam, not a coding assignment - although there are quite a few algorithm questions. You don't need to write actual code in the exam - but you will need to know all the logic & how to solve stuff using pseudocode. Imo, you don't need extensive knowledge of...

Hey, thanks for that! I chose BComm + BAdvComp (if USYD) and BComm + BSc (Comp Sci) (if UNSW), although I’m not too sure which uni yet.

Of course - shoot me a DM and we can exchange socials or something

Hmmm is there a link for it?

It depends - I think the final ranking is more important than the actual internal mark. Internal Mark: 53% * 20% = 10.6% (out of 20%) So it's about a 9.4% mark loss there. I believe how the system works is (I'm gonna write it out programmatically since you're an SDD student :)) const...

Hey! Congrats!! You too.

I'm new to coding. Which languages would you recommend? - Visual Basic. I don't use it but I believe a lot of schools teach it & a lot of teachers have knowledge of this language. PROS: Kinda simple in terms of creating GUI. CONS: Not suitable for Web apps. Not that easy to create beautiful UIs...

Hey guys, It's Lincoln Yan here - or more formally known as Yijun Yan. I'm one of the two students who got FIC (First in Course) for SDD in HSC 2021. BoS helped me quite a lot during my HSC revision, especially for SDD - and I don't think I would have achieved FIC without the help of the...

For SDD, I’ll write a longer post tomorrow with some resources that really helped me right before my HSC exam. I’ll also probably be able to send you some past papers, if I can find any.

2021 SDD student here. Some notes from BoS are quite good - Mr BrightSide and another one.

Hey guys, I just made a solubility/flame test quiz website to help me memorise solubility rules. The website is live here: https://hscchem.yyjlincoln.app/ and I will be running it for at least today and tomorrow. Can't guarantee it will still be up long after I graduate though. The source code...

Hey there, I know it's a bit late, but can we use the modulus operator in HSC algorithm questions? A modulus operator, "%" can be used to calculate the remainder of a division operation: 10%6 = 4 as 10/6 = 1 .... 4 has remainder 4. And also, can we just say that "array starts from 1 or 0" in...

Yeah pretty much, line 18 says that "swaps the values of the elements at X and Z". X and Z are parameters passed onto the subprogram that only do one thing - tell the subprogram that, I'll need to swap the elements at this index X and index of Z. It does not change the values of X and Z - so you...

The big takeaway from the logic of the loop is that, X is the index of the element that has the maximum value and Z is the index of the element that has the minimum value. After the loop, nothing touches the values of X and Z. The SwapElements subprogram only swaps the values in the list, at...
