Exercises and Solutions

If you set up your CSB directory, you already have a data and solutions directory for each tool on your computer. This is the preferred method to conveniently access all data, pseudocode, solutions and scripts. Remember to call git pull to refresh the content of the CSB repository once in a while (see book page 69).

If you wish to download individual data files, please right-click and select “Save link as…" — merely clicking the link might display the file in your browser instead of downloading it. All links for pseudocode, solutions and scripts lead you to the online repository, where you can look at individual files or download them.
