EE160 Programming for Engineers

Be sure to know:

• the main parts of the program:
  • main(){}
  • #include
• how to get values into and out of a program:
  • printf and its conversion specifiers
  • scanf and its conversion specifiers
• variables and types
  • int
  • float
  • char
  • double
• boolean expressions
  • >
  • >=
  • <
  • <=
  • ==
  • !=
• if/else
• while loop
• arithmetic operators
  • +
  • -
  • *
  • /
  • %
  • ++
  • --
• type casting
  • (int)
  • (float)
  • (double)
  • (char)
• how to read and understand code
  • you should be able to read a C program or snippets of C code and understand what the outputs should be (with given inputs)
  • you should understand the intent of the program
  • you should know how to trace the values of variables and output generated by a program
• how to write a program that solves a problem in an area you are not familiar
  • involves translating a problem into inputs and outputs
  • involves using critical thinking to come up with an algorithm to solve a problem
  • involves translating an algorithm into code
  • examples:
    • Trader Problem: if you have not completed the lab before the exam, be sure to be able to complete a problem similar in complexity to Trader
    • previous exam problems
