Tree traversal and sorting is it?

So how's the revision going for everyone? I'm watching streamers on twitch as I'm dying from cramming over the weekend and this morning. I literally feel like I can't do any more revision, it's too painful xD

I did 2 papers this morning. Got about half way through a third one and now I'm in your boat.

That'd be brutal. Hopefully the big marker will be on digital signatures and public and private key, that'd be a nice one I think

With class definitions, how do i know whether to use a procedure or a function?

A function returns a value, so what they're describing sounds like it would return a value then use a function, otherwise use a procedure.

For example, GetName(), GetBitRate(), GetFileSize() is defo a function, whereas

PlaySound(), SetName(), SetBitRate() is defo a procedure.

In the class definition questions do we need to add all the functions/procedures that the parents class have? So if they asked us to write the class definition for a child class do we need to write into the public bit of the new class definition all of the functions and procedures that the parent class had?
