Safe to say that the data structures content missing from paper 1 will be very heavily featured here

Absolutely, as well as OOP.

1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.

yeah my teacher said that she "doesn't see a world where hash tables come up" when I asked her about it but that was kinda the only prediction she gave other than recursion and oop and they come up most years

Hi Guys.

I would just like to confirm whether paper 2 includes all of the content from paper 1 as well as 2.1 onwards? It's not explicitly clear on the specification, so I'm not 100% sure whether it includes all of paper 1 content as well.

On the specification, it just says that we should have an understanding of component 1.

So there are a few crossover topics. You will need an understanding of all the data structures you learnt in Component 1.- you may be asked to traverse, add, delete from any of these so an understanding of the pseucode/steps is required.

Writing constructor, get and set methods in OOP is also likely to appear.

I think all the things you would have to code in paper 1 (HTML, CSS, JS, OOP and LMC) are things you have to remember from paper 1, along with the entire data structures section as usually things with stacks/queues and trees come up
