Hey! I’m Jedi, an undergraduate student doubling in Political Science and Computer Science. CS61B(L) is the BEST class at Cal and I hope you’ll feel the same way after this summer! Fun fact: After taking this course you begin to see data structures in everything - for instance, I discovered that the karaoke queue was not actually a queue. It was a stack.
