| 05/16 | Preparing for the final exam We will try to cover all the slides: CSI32-PreparingToFinalExam.pdf We didn't finish going over it This is the work we did in class: program 3 (for Chapter 3 slide), program 8 (for Chapter 8 slide), complex.h Visit Midterm and Final Exams page to get more information about the final exam and study guide. |
|
| 05/11 | Chapter 21: Algorithms and Maps, Sections 21.5 - 21.9 Lecture slides Programs: mapsExamples.cpp, article.txt; setExample.cpp Suggested solution to in-class work (ages): ages.cpp |
Homework assignment that won't be graded, but you must work on it: Chapter 21: 1) Looks through Sections 21.1 - 21.9 (it includes information from this and previous class) 2) Look through the lecture slides and all the examples thoroughly practice: Chapter 21: work on the in-class work |
| 05/09 | Chapter 20: Continers and Iterators + find(), find_if and function objects with lambda expressions from Sections 21.1 - 21.4 Lecture slides Programs: functions.cpp, records.cpp After-class notes: 1) We stopped at slide 44, to work on two items from functions.cpp file (at the end of the file) - we did only one item Work on the second item and I will be posting the soltuion shortly. Here is a solution (all the changes to the function.cpp are commented): InClassWork.cpp 2) Go through the rest of the slides, see file records.cpp that contains all the code from that part. Run it, play with it. |
Homework assignment that won't be graded, but you must work on it: Chapter 20: 1) Read Sections 20.1 and 20.10 2) Look through the lecture slides and all the examples thoroughly 3) Read thr after-class notes and do the work that is asked for in the notes 4) Look at the posted programs, make sure you understand everything that is done there 5) Review the code of Less_than function object, then constuct Greater_than function object and test it on vector of integers, looking for value greater than 5, and on the list of strings, looking for a word greater than 'hi' 6) more practice will be posted shortly for practice: Chapter 20: 1) Drill (all items) 2) Review: 1-10, 12-15, 19, 22-23 For self-development (not for grade, no questions will be based on this material): Read Sections 20.5 - 20.9 |
| 05/04 | Recursion with C++ Lecture slides Programs: FibFunctions.cpp, palindromes.cpp Suggested solution to in-class work (recursive factorial function, etc.): factorial.cpp |
for practice: 1) CSI32-Lecture21-suggestedPratice.pdf 2) virtualFunctionsInClssWork.pdf 3) CSI32-Lecture22-suggestedPratice.pdf x |
| 05/02 | Classes: inheritance, polymorphism, hierarchies, etc. based on chapter 14, section 14.3 in particular Lecture slides Programs: someClasses.h and inheritanceExamples; point.h, Shape.h, quadrilateral.h, trapezoid.h For in-class work: virtualFunctions.h Quiz 8 based on Chapter 18 material will be at the end of the class. This will be our last quiz. After-class notes: We didn't have time to go over the in-class work: virtualFunctions.h Pease walk through these guided instructions: virtualFunctionsInClssWork.pdf |
|
| 04/27 | Chapter 19: Vector, Templates and Exceptions, Sections 19.4 - 19.5 Lecture slides In-class work: use the handout I distibuted in class. We are working on a Tracer class where its constructor and destructor print messages. Tracer is used to see where RAII management objects will do their work (i.e. experiment with global objects, local objects, ...) This is what we got: tracer.h, reporterMoreWork.cpp (please take a look at the make_unique use - I found a correct way of using it!) |
HW 9 (due Thursday, May 11th) - last HW assignment Chapter 19: 1) Read about optimized assignment on page 676 (from Section 19.2.5) 2) Read sections 19.3.2, 19.3.3, 19.4.1, 3) Review lecture slides and the code we have 4) work on our in-class practice and see the proposed solutions 5) Do the Chapter 19 Drill, 6) Do the Chapter 19 Review 7) Exercises to submit (for grade): (1) Grab the file arraysWork.cpp. It will not compile as it has some errors in it. Feel free to remove them when you are working on the code. Your goal is to comment every single line in the function main (except for the return statement) with what is being done in this line; for print statements place what values did you see and what do these values represent. Those lines that have errors also must be commented on (so don't forget to return them back): what is attempted to be done and why it is an error. (2) Recall the struct Link from the last in-class practice in Lecture 16 (we worked on it in the next class). I defined a class ListNode very similar to it, with few extra defintions added: ListNode_str.h. Re-write it as a template class, and re-name the file to ListNode.h 8) Exercises to get more practice: 1, 2, 10, 12 |
| 04/25 | Chapter 19: Vector, Templates and Exceptions, Sections 19.1 - 19.3 Lecture slides Vector class: vector.h, vectorTesting.cpp Template vector class: vectorT.h, testvectorT.cpp Meeting recordings: part 1, part 2 After-class meeting notes: 1) on slide 34 I proposed to convert/re-write the given funciton to a template function and showed you how I would do it. Restore what I did, and then test your function using this test code: cout << add cout << add(std::string("I'm just fine! "), std::string("thank you!")) << endl; cout << "5+6=" << add(5, 6) << endl; cout << "5.4 + 7.8 = " << add(5.4, 7.8) << endl; 2) grab the file vector.h, there is a commented out definition of the funciton fill(). Uncomment it and move it out of the definition of the class vector (it is a standalone method) and use it (now it should be working). You can use this test code: cout << "input values for v3, separated by white space, then press CTRL-Z and hit Enter:"; vector v3 = fill(std::cin); cout << "* vector v3 has size of " << v3.size() << " :\n" << v3 << "\n"; cout << "* vector v3 has space of " << v3.capacity() << "\n"; This function is of special interest to us, since the move constructor will be implicitly used to implement the return, because compiler knows that res is about to go out of scope. Quiz 8 based on Chapter 18 material will be on Tuesday, May 2nd, at the end of the class. This will be our last quiz. |
|
| 04/20 | Chapter 18: Vector and Arrays, Sections 18.4 - 18.7 Lecture slides We will used a cleaned-up and re-organized code for our vector class: vector.h, vectorTesting.cpp * What was done * : 1) only function's headers (prototypes) are left in the definition of the class vector; their definitions are moved down, with scope resolution vector:: 2) copy was made a private member function (a helper method used by copy constructor and assignment operator), since it will only be used by member functions 3) member function display is removed since we have overloaded output operator 4) resize was also made private as it will be used only by the member function(s) Other programs: arraysWork.cpp, palindromes.cpp After-class notes: 1) look at the slide 24 titled a "Why bother with arrays?" 2) I didn't cover the palindromes. I will use it later on, when we will talk about recursion. Code we produced in class: arraysWork.cpp, testingVector.cpp Updated vector class header file: vector.h Quiz 7 based on Chapter 17 at the end of class |
HW 8 (due Thursday, May 4th): Chapter 18: 1) Look throught the sections 18.1 - 18.7, 2) Read sections 18.4.2, 18.6.4, 3) Review lecture slides and the code we have 4) work on our in-class practice and see the proposed solutions 5) Do the Chapter 18 Drill, 6) Do the Chapter 18 Review 7) Exercises to submit (for grade): CSI32-HW8assignment.pdf, polynomial.h, testPolynomial.cpp 8) Exercises to get more practice: to be posted |

| 03/23 | Chapter 10: Input and Output Streams, Sections 10.7 - 10.11 This will be online meeting, via Zoom. The Zoom link is posted on the Blackboard and was suppleied in the Blackboard announcement. Plan for today: 1) We will look at the temperatures example and modify our code to employ the I/O error handling. Consider this temperature readings file: temps2.txt 2) We will talk about the in-class practice 3) We will continue covering Chapter 10. Lecture slides Quiz 5 based on Chapter 9 will be at the end of class, on Blackboard. The quiz will be timed at 20 minutes and you will have an opportunity to take it only once. Don't forget that Blackboard tends to log users off after few minutes of idle. After class meeting notes: 1) Here you can find the video recording of I/O error handling in "temperature reading" program Here is what we did in class (not finished): temperatureReadingsModded.cpp Here is a suggested code with output file and the end-cases solved (finished): temperatureReadingsModified.cpp Note: the program didn't handle the case fgh(for hour) 76.56(for temperature) correctly! The code needs further improvements. Here is the temperature recordings file on which the code crashes: temps3.txt 2) Here you can find the video recording of in-class practice from March 21st meeting - we continue to work on it This is what we have so far: InClassPractice.cpp I suggested that you continue to work on it, and then on Friday I will post a suggested solution. Here is a suggested solution: inClassWorkFinal.cpp 3) Here you can find the recording of the rest of the lecture. 4) I promissed to update Google sheets by today, 5pm. |

Here is what we did in class: f1.txt, f2.txt, inClassWork.cpp more work is needed to complete the code. I mentioned in class that I need to understand how to follow the strategy I gave for merging the files - it looks like I need to know how to "step back" in a file. Try to continue working on it - see what you are getting. I will either finish it in the next class or post a solution 3) Look through the rest of the lecture slides (from slide 17), namely I/O error handling. I will incorporate something from this Section in the program that we worked on today 4) Important: We might have an online meeting via Zoom on Thursday. The Zoom link is posted at the Blackboard. By Wednesday, 5pm I will send a message via Blackboard announcement with the final say: online or in-person. |

| some comments and solutions from week of Feb. 7th - 9th | At the meeting on February 7th, we have an in-class practice that we were not able to complete: Write a program that reads in a sequence of decimal values from keyboard (from the user), and then displays: – the mean (same as average), – the median value, and – the largest and the smallest values in the sequence. Here is how we find the median: 1) order the data values from smallest to largest 2) for odd number of data values, the median is the middle value 3) for even number of data values, the median is the avverge of the two middle values. Examples: for values 4, 7, 18, 19, 23, the median is 18 for values 4, 7, 18, 19, 23, 30, the median is (18+19)/2 = 18.5 Use vector for storing data values; You can start by writing the code as one function, test it and correct all mistakes. Then split the code into functions, for example, have a function that will calculate the mean, have a function that will calculate the median. Here is one function code: statsProgram.cpp |
