Week 05 Notes for CS 2500, Section 001 -- Spring 2002

• In Carrano, we are finishing Appendix A this week and starting chapter 3 on data abstraction.
• In Andersen we are reading chapters 8-9 (directories and file manager).
• Class starts at 09:40. I take roll at 09:50
• Announcement(s)
  • I am grading program #1 has been graded. Check postings and e-mails from me.
  • Bring a blue book to class next time -- small size -- we are having a quiz on Carrano chapters 1-2 and Appendix A: program design, recursion, and C++ Fundamentals; and on Andersen chapters 1-3, 5-7.
• Finish topics from week04
• Finish up discussing data structures talk
• Documentation tip of the day: look at the Kelly-Pohl book and discuss descriptions of functions as good examples of header comments -- or do the same thing with the header comments for the listClass functions.
• Take questions on program #2 -- Due in two days.
• Look at how the operations work in the listClass.

• Look at Upcoming Schedule
• Class starts at 09:40. I take roll at 09:50
• Announcement(s)
  • I sent the following information.

    
    Hi CS 2500 Class --
    
    I received a request to move the due date back for program #2.
    The program is now due on Tuesday, March 19.
    
    Also I have a couple of announcements:
    
    1.  To compensate for the possibility of materials getting "lost
    in the e-mail" and to give you some practice in producing
    readable hardcopies (printed copies), I am requiring that you
    turn in a hardcopy of your program source code on the due date.
    I want you to put the hardcopy on my desk at the beginning of
    class on the due date.
    
    There will be no change in the e-mail you are required to send.
    You must still e-mail me copies of your source code and your
    script.
    
    
    2. I put a program in the Asg02 class directory called
    makePRandSeq.cpp.  Read the program.  The comments will tell you
    how to compile and execute.  You can use the program to make
    lists of pseudo-random numbers to use as test inputs to your
    program #2.
    
    

  • We do the quiz in the last hour of the class.
