Week 11 Notes for CS 1500 -- Spring 2000
(this is draft material)
* Take roll
* Passing back Quiz #2 -- check my arithmetic on your test.
=========================
MONDAY
=========================
* Grades are posted in web space -- caught up to the present, I
think. Let me know if you see any errors or omissions.
* How many people made errors on Solo #4. What should be
tested? What are the moral and ethical considerations
concerning professionals who produce code with bugs in it?
* Solo #5 assignment is posted in web space. I
may be away on Wednesday, May 3. Class should
meet that day in the Lab and work on solo #5.
(Since it is a solo program, you should not
work as partners -- the usual rules for solo
work apply -- you may discuss the program, but
not share actual C++ code.)
* We are reading about character processing in
chapter eight. We will discuss this topic in
class on Monday and Friday.
* Function "GetAnswer" in exe0804.cpp is a nice
example of how to use character processing to
do data input while preventing some types of
input errors.
=========================
WEDNESDAY
=========================
* Solo work in lab
=========================
FRIDAY
=========================
* Take a look at the schedule for the week.
* Somewhere in doing the exercises below, touch on
the topic of how characters are buffered on
input and output.
* Do exercises on pages 399-400 to motivate
learning some concepts: choose from 1-8.
* Do exercises on pages 406-407 to motivate
learning some concepts: choose from 1-8, and
prog #1 in section 8.2.
* Do exercises on pages 416-417 to motivate
learning some concepts: choose from 1-3, 5-8.
* If time allows it would be interesting to look
at the problem of converting ascii input to an
integer using Horner's method.
