  We consider functions on the $d$-dimensional unit cube whose partial
derivatives up to order $r$ are bounded by one. It is known that the minimal
number of function values that is needed to approximate the integral of such
functions up to the error $\varepsilon$ is of order $(d/ \varepsilon)^{d/r}$.
Among other things, we show that the minimal number of function values that is
needed to approximate such functions in the uniform norm is of order $(d^{r/2}
/\varepsilon)^{d/r}$ whenever $r$ is even.
