Questions in the theoretical part cover all topics throughout the semester. This may also include code from all topics as given snippets, fill the blanks etc.

The solution created during the exam must be submitted in full on Moodle. All code files must be submitted, including the Makefile if necessary.

The theoretical part of the exam can be submitted either handwritten, on paper, or digitally as a text file. When submitting digitally, the answers to the theory questions must be uploaded to Moodle alongside the rest of the solution.
