FALL 2026 · GEBZE TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY

Week 09

17 Nov–20 Nov 2026 · Computer networks, pointers and strings

Provisional weekly plan. PPTX decks, handouts and submission briefs are in preparation; the topics below are not released assignments.

Tuesday 17 Nov · CSE101

13:30–16:30 · Z23

Circuit and packet switching; network organization, addressing, routing, protocol layers and transport services.

Trace C addresses and pointer arguments; distinguish array capacity from string length and process a bounded text buffer safely.

Weekly PPTX, code and recordings: in preparation.

Trace pointers and bounded strings while revisiting loops, functions and arrays. File operations follow in Week 10.

D: do independently · M: explain and modify a worked example · R: recognize, trace and compare.

Revisit: Revisit indices and memory cells before pointer notation.

Revisit array bounds and 2D indices; explain address/content and string termination.

Start time tentatively 16:30; room to be announced.

Trace a pointer argument and process a bounded text buffer, optionally received from Arduino; transport support is supplied.

Attend your assigned two-hour group. Handout in preparation.
