CS Intro Courses • CS 105: One semester; requires little or no previous programming experience. Uses C++ • CS 115-116: Two semester sequence. Assumes previous programming experience. Uses C++ or Java. Primarily for CS majors • CS 201: One semester accelerated combination of CS 115 & CS 116, requires previous programming experience. Uses Java.

CS 105 – Required Textbook and Lab Manual • “C++Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design”, by D.S. Malik • 2nd (YELLOW) OR 3rd (GREEN) Edition OR 4th (BROWN) Edition

End-of-Semester Score • Labs – 20% • Project – 10% • 2 Quizzes – 5% each • Exam I (in Lecture) – 10% • Exam II (in Lecture & Lab) – 20% • Final Exam – 30% • Must pass Final Exam to pass course

CS105 Labs • Labs prepare you for tests. • Labs assigned in handout; on website • Consist of a reading assignment and exercises from Malik textbook • Lab exercises comprised of Exercises and Programming Exercises (located at end of each Chapter in textbook).

CS105 Labs • Work on personal or campus computers. • You’re expected to complete a Lab BEFORE your Lab section meets. • Save .cpp file(s) to flash drive, or send to yourself in email and bring to Lab section for discussion and questions. (See more in Lab 0.)

CS105 Labs (Cont) • Labs Are Not Graded. • Lab credit comes from attending and participating in lab session. • Arrive late? Leave early? Half credit. • TA will cover Labs/questions/other topics in Lab session.

Expectations • Attendance in Lectures and Labs • Completion of Tests (= Exams + Quizzes) • Four to Six hours per week on homework • Outside help if necessary • No Cheating (Tests, Project) • Have fun!!

Class Courtesy Rules • No swearing or other inconsiderate behavior • Turn off cell phones; no laptops, iPads, etc. • In Lab: No Internet browsing, emailing, gaming, IM-ing (Hey, it’s only 50 minutes!) • Questions, Discussions, and Ideas are welcome.

Missing a Test • If you will miss an Test (= Exam or Quiz), make arrangements BEFORE the test date. • Test dates already posted. • If Emergency: • Medical problem: Doctor/Hospital note • Family problem: Contact info for parents

Course Philosophy • Computer Science Side • Problem Solving • Logical Thought • Programming in C++

Course Philosophy • “Real World” Side • Human Nature • Corporate World • Surviving during and after College

Problem Solving • Arrange a deck of cards by suit and rank • How would you do this? • How would you tell a child to do this? • How would you tell a computer to do this?

Problem Solving • CS 105 develops logic skills to solve problems by writing a program. • A program is a problem-solving tool. • Computers follow instructions they’re given. • They don’t have “intuition” or make decisions “on their own”.

Why Use a Program? • Computers perform tasks many times faster than a person. • Computers are more consistent than a person. • Computers can work 24-7.

Terminology • Source Code: The original problem-solving, logical solution written in a programming language (e.g. C++) • Compiling: The action of turning the source code into a format the computer can use. • Linking: The action of bringing in already written code (Libraries) for use in a new program. • Executable: The result of compiling and linking a source program; the “.exe” file that the computer can run

C++ Required Elements • Every C++ program must have: • int • main() • { • }

Your First Program • // Sam Smith • // CS 105 • // Section 07 • #include <iostream> • using namespace std; • int • main() • { • cout << “Hello World!!” << endl; • return (0); • }
