Old Assignments

To get an idea of what you might expect, take a look at old assignments. Some of them have accompanying solutions as well. These programs give you examples of most of what you need to write programs in this course, as well as showing what I expect in terms of documentation. Old assignments are shown in Java and C++, depending on the semester.

• See the note in the Syllabus on pair programming.
• If you need it, tutoring here at UIC is available from the ACM
• See the Important Notes on the g++ compiler and your default path.
• For programming notes, references, tutorials, look here.
• Programming process examples (in C/C++):
       - Coins exchange program (swap the places of the X's and the O's). First approach with a confusion of nested ifs, second approach using switch statements for more generic code, third version using functions, and a version using a linked list to implement undoing moves.
       - Marble guessing game (play against the computer to guess even or odd): marble1.c and marble2.c
