Specific Suggestions for Student's Needs 针对学生需求的具体建议
Database Theory & Exam Technique: 数据库理论与考试技巧:
-
When answering normalization questions, ensure you explicitly state the prerequisites (e.g., 'Must be 2NF to be 3NF') to secure all potential points. 回答规范化问题时,请确保明确说明先决条件(例如,“要成为 3NF 必须是 2NF”),以确保获得所有潜在分数。
-
For terminology like 'Internet Protocol', double-check spelling ('protocol' vs 'protocal') to avoid small deductions in formal exams. 对于像“Internet Protocol”这样的术语,请仔细检查拼写('protocol' 而非 'protocal'),以避免在正式考试中被扣小分。
Algorithm Implementation (LeetCode): 算法实现 (LeetCode):
-
For the Isomorphic Strings problem, focus on implementing the two-map (s->t and t->s) structure to strictly enforce the bidirectional link requirement. 对于同构字符串问题,重点实现双 Map(s->t 和 t->s)结构,以严格强制执行双向链接要求。
-
In the Majority Element problem, practice initializing the max tracking variable (Cmax) using the first element of the array (num[0]) when its length is guaranteed to be >= 1. 在多数元素问题中,练习使用数组的第一个元素(num[0])初始化最大值跟踪变量 (Cmax),因为其长度保证 >= 1。
