(2) As from Monday, 3rd September 2007, the venue of this course has changed into Wonchun Hall, room 540 (days of week, and hours, remain unchanged).
(3) For practical reason, the most essential information covered during our lectures is summarised in these
lecture notes. Thus, these lecture notes are true reflection of everything that was presented, discussed, or
practically exercised during our lectures. In order to run or to download any notes made available here, simply
click on the underlined part
(in green)
of the title of these notes!
(4) These lecture notes follow the course textbook [1] by Behrouz A. Forouzan and Richard F. Gilberg,
"Computer Science, A Structured Programming Approach Using C", Third Edition,
Thomson Course Technology,
2007, ISBN 0-534-49132-4, pb.
In each subsequent lecture note, as well as in each subsequent week, another chapter from this textbook is learned.
However, for the better perception effect, the order of lectures NOT necessarily follow the order od chapters.

Part 4: Preparations for the midterm exam (in WORD.DOC format for the WORD XP):
Please notice, that after 7 weeks of study this semester, a midterm exam will be held
during our normal class hours. The exact date and time of this exam is tentatively
decided for Wednesday, 17 October 2007, 1:30 to 2:45 pm - in our usual lecture room).
During this exam students will be asked to propare a program in C, and then post it for
confirmation of their marking. An example of exam paper and a question type is provided below
(of course, during the exam a program to write will be different - this example shows
only how
the question is to look like, what level of difficulty it is going to be, and how
it is going to be marked). The question for this midterm exam will be simlar to
one of the "midterm exam problems" provided below. Therefore, if you are able to
solve each of the "midterm exam problems" provided below within the time of a single
lecture session, then you should have no difficulty with passing this exam. Therefore,
for your preparation
to the midterm exam, I would advice you to learn how to solve
each "midterm exam problems" listed below.
Example of the midterm exam paper and the formulation of exam question (including a marking schedule.)
Midterm exam problems (to be solved by students as their preparation to this exam.)
Please note how the problem used in the above "example of midterm exam peper"
compares to the first problem #Q_1_1 from the "midterm exam problems". In a
similar manner the problem used in the real midterm exam is to compare to
a problem listed above amongst other "midterm exam problems".
Part 5: Midterm exam (in WORD.DOC format for the WORD XP):
Midterm exam question (students are to download the exam question from here, complete it, and then post it for marking, within the duration of the midterm exam.)

Wednesday, 12 December 2007, 1:30 to 2:45 pm - in our usual lecture room).
During this final exam students will again be asked to propare a program in C,
and then post it for confirmation of their marking. The question
for te final exam
will be simlar to one of the "final exam problems" provided below. Therefore,
if you are able to solve each of the "final exam problems" provided below within
the time of a single lecture session, then you should have no difficulty with passing
the final exam. Therefore, for your preparation
to the final exam, I would advice you
to learn how to solve each "final exam problem" listed below.

Part 7: Final exam (in WORD.DOC format for the WORD XP):
Final exam question (students are to download the exam question from here during the exam hour, complete it, and then post it for marking, within the duration of the midterm exam.)
Part 8: A sample of assignment 4 program:
Shown here is a sample of C program
prepared for Assignment 4. (Notice
that apart from the source code in C,
the ZIP package provided below
includes also all data files and the
executable program "assignment4.bin".
Before the run, the extension of the
executable program should be renamed
from the present "bin" into the required "exe".)

Part 9: Educational humor:
Hawaiian Good Luck Sign
Four people: Everybody - Nobody
Part 10: Additional instructions (e.g. how to use this web page):
(A) Each C program is provided here as a source code (*.cpp),
which is preperad for execution by the MS Visual Studio, version 6.0.
Many of these programs were previously working on Borland C as well.
(B) In order to download any source code (e.g. in *.cpp, in *.c, etc.) to your computer,
simply click on this code,
and then follow the procedure of downloading source code from a web page.
