Test 1 information

 Test 1 will be Friday, February 23^rd. It will take the entire class period. You will need to know about the following topics:

• Data types: int, char, float, double and how the arithmetic operators work on them. What is the result of the declarations
  int i=4;
  double x=9/i;
• Relational operators ==, !=, <, >, <=, >=, !, &&, ||
• Control structures: if if/else while do/while switch for
• Functions: prototypes, parameters, etc.
• Scope of variables
• Recursion
• References: pass by value, pass by reference
• Algorithms: You will need to write (short) segments of code on the test. They need to be clear, concise, and understandable.

Suggestions for Reviewing

When reviewing for the test, I suggest the following:

• Look at past assignments and sample tests. What did you get wrong? Why? Would you get it right now? Make use of any relevant handouts (see the course web page).
• Make use of the Summary, Terminology, and Self-Review sections at the end of each chapter. Summary gives a concise list of the major points covered in the chapter. Terminology lists terms you should be familiar with. Self-Review has a number of exercises with answers given.
• If there are any questions about the test or problems with the course material, bring them up in class or see me outside of class.
• Remember: in order to do well on a test, you not only need to know the material; you must also be able to put what you know down on paper clearly, concisely, and in a reasonable amount of time. Just reading a book is not sufficient preparation for any test, so try working some problems and see how well you do.
