CS211 Midterm 1 Review Guide

• List of data types that are common, along with their sizes. Common are types like char, int, float, double, etc. Uncommon would be things like short, size_t (for this test anyway).
• A couple examples of how to use control structures, like one of each type of loop, an if statement, etc.
• An example of how to write a function and how to call a function
• Any terms you tend to forget.
• A bit longer example that might have pieces that are useful

Test Topics

• How to set up a C++ program (includes, namespace standard, main function, etc)
• Printing with cout and reading from the user with cin
• Variables (how to declare them, change them, types, etc)
• If/else statements and loops (while, for, and do/while, NOT goto). Switch won't be on the test. Loop control like break and continue.
• Arrays and vectors. How to use stack arrays (int arr[];) and vectors (vector arr;). Not new or delete, yet. New and delete will be on the second midterm, but not this one.
• Objects and classes, at a chapter 7 level. No inheritance, virtual functions, operator overloading, friend functions. Keywords static, private, protected, and public are not on this test.

Example Questions

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(){
	int gerbil = 23;
	int gerbil_mites = gerbil / 5;
	int gerbil_hairs = gerbil % 5;
	cout << gerbil_mites << endl; 
	cout << gerbil_hairs << endl; // Remember endl in your answer
	return 0;
}

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

string hamster(string message){
	for(int i = 0; i < message.length(); i++)
		if(message[i] == ' ')
			message[i] = '_';
	return message;
}

int main(){
	string ham = "I'm stuck in a cage!"
	cout << hamster(ham) << endl;
	cout << ham << endl; // Might save this for the second midterm
	return 0;
}

Enter the number of volts:   100
Enter the number of amps:  1.5
The power is 150 watts
