E N D
Exam Format • 90 Total Points • 40 Points Writing Programs • 25 Points Tracing Algorithms and determining results • 10 Points Short Answer • 20 Points Fill in the Blank • All point totals are approximations • Similar to programming assignments and programs from lecture
Example Programming Problem • Write a program that reads a number of golf scores followed by that number of scores from a file named “scores.txt” Total the scores as you read them in and print out the average score to the screen. (Note: This problem is more difficult than the problems on the exam.)
Example Tracing Problem • What will the EXACT output of the following program be? int foo = 9; string str = "Hey!"; float foo2 = 5.7; foo2 = foo - foo2; if (foo > foo2) cout << "Hello!"; else if (foo < foo2) cout << foo2; else cout << foo; cout << endl; cout << "foo2 is: " << foo2 << endl;
Example Short Answer • Why is it a bad idea to compare two floating point numbers (e.g. doubles) with the equals (==) operator?
Chapter 1 • 0 points • Terminology • Bits, bytes • kilo, mega, giga, tera • What do they mean? • Machine language, assembly language, high- level language • Von Neumann architecture • Problem solving process • Types of errors • Important stuff, but not covered on the exam
Chapter 2 • 50 Points • Variables and Identifiers • Valid identifiers • Data types • Integer types • Floating Point types • Characters • Boolean • Assignment • Arithmetic Operators • Make sure you understand the mod(%) function
Chapter 3 • 30 Points • cin • With prompts • Mathematical expressions • Order of precedence • Combined operators (e.g. += and ++) • static_cast • Constants • Mixed mode operations (mixing floats and ints) • File input and output
Chapter 4 • 25 Points • Relational operators • Truth tables • Logical operators && || ! • if statements • if-else • if-else-if
Functions • 15 Points • Know how to write a function • Header (signature) • Parameters • Return statement • Know how to call a function • Know how to use the return value
Loops • 10 Points • Understand the “for” loop • Initialize, conditional, update • Body of the loop • Review the programs that use loops
How to Study • Rewrite all the programs. • Redo labs. • Learn by doing and recognizing patterns. • Don’t stay up late!! Get some sleep and eat a good breakfast.
What to bring • Pencils and erasers • We will provide scratch paper • No calculators
