Week 03 Notes for CS 1500, Section 001 -- Spring 2001

• Lecture today in P-167 (new room)
• Look at upcoming schedule.
• Class starts at 11:15. I take roll at 11:25
• Announcement(s)
  • I will be out of town on Wednesday. Class will do lab #02 in P-288 Wednesday instead of Friday. Julie Gorman, the lab system administrator, will supervise the class.
• Students can hand in printouts from lab #01 today, at beginning of class.
• Take care of assigning new partners for people whose partners have not been in class.
• Discussion of lab #2
  • Be sure to study the online directions in advance and come to lab prepared to do the steps with relative quickness and ease.
• Discussion of solo program #1
• Discussion of sample programs and the new programming concepts they illustrate.
  • use of cout stream (e.g. ex0201.cpp)
  • Using expressions with << (e.g. ex0201.cpp)
  • use of endl (my_example.cpp)
  • using functions (my_example.cpp)
  • int's versus float's
  • declaring and naming variables (e.g. ex0201.cpp, ex0202.cpp, ex0205.cpp)
  • assignment statements, lvalues, rvalues (e.g. ex0201.cpp, ex0205.cpp)
  • separate and combined declaration-initialization (e.g. ex0205.cpp)
  • integer arithmetic -- including surprises about integer division (e.g. ex0205.cpp)
  • modulus operator % and unary - (e.g. ex0205.cpp)
  • operator precedence (my_example.cpp)
  • interactive programs (e.g. ex0220.cpp)
• Did I show you how to add yourself to the set of recipients of your e-mail (so you could be more sure that the message arrives?) If not, let's look at how to do that.
• Show example of reading e-mail on the Sun Ultra's.
• The compiler command option for naming the executable file:
  (g++ -o letters letters.cpp)
• Discuss compiling/debugging with jove
  • How to execute the compiler "inside" jove: (C-u, C-x, C-e)
  • C-x 1 "unsplits" the screen.
  • How to break out of jove to a sub-shell whilst "saving your place": (esc-s)
  • Testing the program while in the sub-shell.
  • How to break out of the sub-shell and return to "your place" in jove: (exit)
• If interested, you can read the compileHelp document for more information about using JOVE for compiling and debugging. This document is in the General_Info section of the class web space.

• Class starts at 11:15. Julie takes roll at 11:25
• Lab Day -- we meet in P-288 -- Do lab #02
• Announcement(s)

• Class starts at 11:15. I take roll at 11:25
• Lecture Day -- we meet in P-167
• Announcement(s)
  • Solo program #1 is now due Wednesday (I moved it back two days). You must send the e-mail before midnight.
  • Has everyone turned in printouts from lab #1?
  • Today is the final day to turn in source and script for lab #2.
• How did things go in lab #2?
• Discussion of solo program #1
  • Go over the assignment document
  • Discuss the structure of functions that will be needed
    • example: a program containing a function and a call -- page 35 of Shiflet -- also example "useFunction.cpp" in the assignment directory.
    • another example: page 37-38 of Shiflet -- also example "ex0102.cpp" in the assignment directory -- prototypes are used here -- explain the need.
    • (cf. (my_example.cpp))
• Go over programming topics from Monday not covered then
  • integer arithmetic -- including surprises about integer division (e.g. ex0205.cpp)
  • modulus operator % and unary - (e.g. ex0205.cpp)
