Program Descriptions

See the schedule for due dates.
See this video (~25 MB) describing using SSH and the pico editor to create and turnin a file.
You may very well need to use a free download of a stand-alone straightforward small footprint (161 KB) .avi player from Camtasia. Download the video you want to play in a location you can remember, and then use the File/Open command from within the Camtasia video player to open it up and play it.

1. Program 1: Mind Reader. See a silent video (3MB .avi format) of it running. See a solution.
2. Program 2: Mini Sudoku. See a solution.
3. Program 3: Sudoku with Functions.
   See a solution with global piece variables, and a solution without global piece variables, using an array to represent the board.
4. Sudoku board generation (See also an MS Word trace sheet)
5. WordFind
6. MatLab assignment on population modelling, must be done during lab on 4/20.

• 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.
  • Marble guessing game (play against the computer to guess even or odd): marble1.c and marble2.c
• To get an idea of what you might expect, take a look at the following old assignments. Many 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.
  • Spring 03 (Course was all in C/C++)
    
    
  • Fall 05 (Java and C/C++)
  • Fall 04 (Java and C/C++)
  • Spring 04 (Java and C/C++)
