Status at 20110505

Finished Exercise 2.3-2, 2.3-3.

2.3-3 is trivial.  2.3-2 though, I just translate my C-code back to CLRS style of pseudocode.  It is long, just the MERGE function takes 22 lines.  I bet there is a better way to do it.

Browse Read: 236/1144
Exercises Up To: 2.3-4
Exercises which are finished but not on paper: 2.3-7, 6.1-7, 6.2-3, 6.2-4, 10.1-6 and 10.1-7.

Finishing merge sort gives me a boost.  The basic form is not tough but it's quite involved.  Young me could have used more than a day to program it without knowing what goes wrong.   In any case, probably data structure should be learnt when one is proficient in one particular programming language.   (Or as I suspect, one should learn another language to appreciate what "language" means.)
