CS1A EXAM 2 C++

WHAT IS THE NOT OPERATOR?

!

WRITE CODE IN YOUR HEAD FOR A SWITCH STATEMENT THAT CHANGES THE INPUT CARDINAL DIRECTIONS ('W' for West, 'E' for East, and so on)

#include <iomanip> #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { char cardinalDirections[3]; cout << "please enter cardinal directions N, E, W, S of where you live in relation to city hall:" cin >> cardinalDirections; cin.ignore(1000, '\n') switch (cardinalDirections); case 'w' : case 'W' : cout << "West"; break; case 'e' : case 'E' : cout << "East"; break; etc. and so on default: "invalid input, please try again"; break;

COUT

-how we communicate with user -COUT - inserts data to output stream using << insertion operators -can output a string literal using " " or variables - pre-defined variable in C++

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A COMPILE TIME ERROR AND A RUN TIME ERROR?

-syntax errors are compile errors we cannot build or compile the code -logic errors are run time errors when our code compiles but then produces incorrect output

WHAT APPROACHES SHOULD YOU USE TO FIX A RUN-TIME ERROR?

-try to isolate problem - commenting out to pinpoint section of faulty code -coding incrementally/ a little at a time will help reduce run time errors -

cin.getline(c-stringName, stringwidth);

-used to extract strings including whitespace as a character

WHY DO WE HAVE STYLE?

-Readability -Modifiablity -Reusability -easier to debug

using namespace std;

-Tells the compiler that we will be using all the standard C++ functions -Functions are small code segments that we use to build our program

WHAT IS A TEST PLAN?

-a formalized plan including a table of inputs and expected outputs. -it should cover both white box and black box testing -include all category of values - expected values - unexpected values - boundary values

SELECTION

-based on some condition, either one part of the condition is executed or another part -program chooses which part to execute based on condition -conditions are boolean expressions

endl

-best by itself or used with a variable or constant and setw()

CIN

-extracts information from the input buffer using extraction operator >> -can only have variables on right side of cin statement

WHAT APPROACH SHOULD YOU USE TO FIX A COMPILE-TIME ERROR?

-fix from top to bottom -look at the line above and below error message -try to think about what the message is telling you

WHAT IS THE AND OPERATOR?

&&

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 'A' & "A" IN C++?

'A' represents a single character "A" represents a c=string of 2 characters ('A' & '\0') null terminator

WHAT IS THE ORDER OF PRECEDENCE FOR ARITHMETIC AND BOOLEAN OPERATORS FROM HIGHEST TO LOWEST?

() ++ -- ! * / % + - < <= > >= == != && || =

DO WHILE

-POST-TEST event based loop - CONDITION TESTED AT BOTTOM of loop -LCV can initialized inside DO loop, changed inside the loop, and checked at end condition -checks instructions if true it runs again -part of the program is executed at least one time and repeats until some condition is false - runs at least one time before condition is checked -

WHEN WOULD YOU USE A WHILE LOOP?

- As a counter - count number of inputs - Running totals - sum a number of inputs - When you don' know how many times you need to run that part of the program (event based)

AVOIDING RUNTIME ERRORS

- Code incrementally little at a time and check for errors - check dependent variables - check lcv in loops and each variable iteration - use cin.ignore(1000, '\n') to hold the cursor so you can track code through each iteration

WHILE LOOP

- PRE-TEST event based loop - LCV is initialized before loop, checked in while statement compares to sentinal value, and changed just before the end of the loop. LCV must be updated within the loop - choose if you don't know how many times to run the loop -if condition evaluates to true is enters loop if FALSE IT BYPASSES the loop

FOR LOOP

- PRE-TEST loop - LCV is initialized, checked and changed within for statement - choose this if you know how many times you need something to loop

FIXING COMPILE TIME ERRORS

- Read the message and think about what it says - Look at line above and below error message - Go to project an clean project - Possible def use error, a defined value not used or is missing - close previous projects - use proper style - name variables with names that make sense

WHEN WOULD YOU USE A DO WHILE?

- Run when we don't know how many times it should run - Event-controlled - Similar to while - when you need to error check a user's inputs - when we know we have to run the code at least 1 time

WHAT ARE THE 3 CONTROL LOGIC STRUCTURES?

- Sequence - Selection - Repetition

HOW DO WE DEFINE/ASSIGN A VALUE FOR A VARIABLE? (get a value into a variable?)

- cin >> variableValuesAssignedUponInput; - can also be defined in an assignment statement ex : variableValue = variableValue + 1;

cin.ignore(1000, '\n');

- cleans input buffer - use after a cin.get(variable); every time

SHORT-CIRCUIT EVALUATION

- evaluates logical expressions left to right - when using AND && operator evaluation STOPS as soon as FALSE condition is found - when using OR || operator evaluation STOPS as soon as TRUE condition is found

NAME THE DATA TYPES

- int - char - bool - float - long - short - double - longlong

WHAT CAN APPEAR ON RIGHT SIDE OF COUT << STATEMENTS?

- literals - variables - constants - expressions anything really

FIXING RUNTIME ERRORS

- localize which part of code is causing issues - isolate by commenting out areas - insert cerr statements and output variables to make sure they have expected values - Desk Check code!

WHAT ARE 3 TYPES OF SELECTION STATEMENTS?

- one way - two way - multi way

cin.width(5);

- used like setw but with cin - will limit the amount of characters to be input - not recommended because it will leave whatever the user input that was over the size alotted by the cin.width and leave it in input buffer.

cin.get(variable);

- used to get a single character - it can be any single character even whitespace - if used with variable it places value in variable - if used without variable the character is discarded - need to use cin.ignore(1000, '\n') to flush the input buffer after -

WHICH IDENTIFIERS CAN APPEAR ON RIGHT SIDE OF CIN >> STATEMENTS?

- variables

DESCRIBE THE BASIC STRUCTURE OF A PROGRAM

-DIRECTIVES i.e., Pre-Processor directives/ information the program needs (a list of all necessary header files used in the program # include <iostream> , #include <iomanip>, #include <cstring>, using namespace std;) -HEADING i.e, int main() -INSIDE THE int main() FUNCTION { named constant declaration variable declaration executable statements return 0; }

int main () { body of function (i.e. program statements) return 0; }

-Program execution begins with this function -All C++ programs must have this function -MUST BE an int -Must start with { and end with } -Must have return 0; as the last statement

WHAT ARE THE STEPS INVOLVED IN DEVELOPING AN ALGORITHM THAT INCLUDES LOOPS

1 - Define input/output 2 - processing 3 - determine if a loop 4 - while : LCV - sentinal value - boolean expression 5 -for : Determine how many times to run

1) a !=b 2) a == b 3) a < b 4) a <= b 5)a > b 6)a >= b

THERE ARE 3 DIFFERENCES IN HOW WE DECLARE VARIABLES VS. CONSTANTS, WHAT ARE THEY?

1) constants are assigned a value when they are declared 2)have const in front of data type 3) CAPITALS Variables - lower cased for single word - must be camelCased for 2+ words - can contain numbers CONSTANTS - UPPERCASED - UNDER_SCORE_SPACING - can contain numbers

WHAT ARE 2 THINGS THE COMPILER NEEDS TO KNOW WHEN WE DECLARE AN IDENTIFIER? - how do we provide this information to the compiler?

1) the type of data that will be stored 2) how much memory is needed to store data -info is provided to compiler by the data type i.e, char, float, int, bool, double, short, long, longlong etc.

NAME 2 TYPES OF IDENTIFIERS

1) variables 2) CONSTANTS

WHAT ARE THE 4 QUESTIONS WHEN EVALUATING AN ALGORITHM?

1)Does the algorithm solve the stated problem? 2)Is the algorithm well-defined? 3)Does the algorithm produce an output? 4)Is it efficient

INDENTIFY THE 6 PARTS OF DEVELOPING AN ALGORITHM

1)Identify the input 2)identify the output 3)identify the process 4)develop the HIPO chart 5)develop the pseudocode and flowchart 6)test the algorithm with a desk check

FOR ANY LOOP WHAT 3 THINGS MUST WE DO?

1)Initialize LCV 2)Check LCV in some conditional statemment 3)Change LCV

NAME 4 COMMON LOOP ERRORS

1)Not initializing the LCV 2)Not updating the LCV within a WHILE or DO WHILE loop 3) Improperly written loop can be infinite - make sue that the condition that ends the loop can and will happen 4) Off by 1 errors are common in FOR loops check the LCV

WHEN WOULD WE DECLARE AN IDENTIFIER A CONSTANT?

1)When code might be modified in future 2)When same # is used more than 1 time throughout the code. 3)Readability 4)When you need a numerical literal

WHAT 3 STEPS NEED TO HAVE FOR EVERY LOOP?

1- initialize 2 - check 3- change

WHERE DO INITIALIZATION, CHECK AND CHANGE HAPPEN ON A FOR LOOP?

all within the for statement

WHAT SHOULD THE DATA TABLE TELL THE READER?

1.)What the variables are used for 2.)describing them

CONSTANTS

Contain data values that can't be changed during program execution - can be used/retrieved - can't be modified during program execution

RELATIONAL OPERATORS

< less than > greater than == equal to != not equal >= less than or equal to <= greater than or equal to

EXTRACTION OPERATOR

>> - used with cin - ignores leading whitespace - reads data until it reaches white space - Everything else goes into the input buffer - starts extracting once it hits a non-whitespace character - ignores whitespace character - the \n newline character stays in input buffer -next time we extract it will pull form input buffer first -it is important to clear the input buffer

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 'A' and A in C++

A without the quotes is treated as an identifier by the system and since it is uppercase would be a CONSTANT

VARIABLES

Contain data values that may change during program execution - can be used/retrieved - can be modified during program execution

EACH INPUT BLOCK SHOWN ON A FLOWCHART REQUIRES THESE TWO STATEMENTS TO PROMPT THE USER AND TO INPUT VALUE INTO SPECIFIED MEMORY LOCATION (VARIABLE)

WHAT CONTROLS WHEN A LOOP WILL EXECUTE AND WHEN IT WILL EXIT?

Loop Control Variable

WHAT IS AN LCV?

Loop Control Variable

LCV

Loop Control Variable - all loops controlled by a condition -a value is compared against a variable -the value is called the sentinel value for any loop we must INITIALIZE the lcv CHECK the lcv CHANGE

\n - Newline - moves cursor to next line better with text strings \t - Horizontal tab -moves cursor to next tab stop \a - Alarm - causes the computer to beep \\ - Backslash - causes a backslash to be printed \' - Single quote - causes single quotation to print \" - Double quote - causes double quotation to print

IDENTIFIERS

a descriptive name that maps to a location in computer memory. Identifiers give a place in memory a name, and when used, the location can be referenced. -called SYMBOLIC REFERENCING -can only have letters, numbers, or underscore(_) -must begin with a letter -can't have spaces -no special characters -case sensitive

ACCUMULATOR

a running total must be initialized

BREAK STATEMENT

a statement that forces a block of code to terminate or exit. if you do not use inside switch then all of the statements succeeding will execute. sometimes we want this though.

KEYWORD

a word that has some sort of predefined meaning in the context of a programming language

WHAT DATA TYPE WOULD WE USE TO STORE A LETTER GRADE?

char

EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FOLLOWING DECLARATIONS char charVal; char charVal[11];

char charVal; reserves only 1 byte for single character char charVal[11]; reserves 11 bytes for a string of characters

HOW WOULD WE DECLARE A C-STRING VARIABLE WHICH COULD STORE A NAME OF UP TO AND INCLUDING 10 CHARACTERS?

char name[11]; (10 characters for the name and +1 for the null terminator)

DATA TABLE

comments to the right of variables being declared in variable declaration The declaration section must contain a data table which must contain - how data is defined/ used i.e. INPUT & CALC -describes what data it will contain ex: char name; // INPUT & OUTPUT - user's name input and output in program

HOW WOULD WE DECLARE A CONSTANT NAMED A WHICH WOULD STORE THE SINGLE VALUE 'A'?

const char A = 'A';

GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF HOW TO DECLARE CONSTANT IN CODE

const datatype CONSTANT_NAME = 5; or more specifically: const int TAX_RATE = .075;

WHAT IS THE DOCUMENTATION NEXT TO THE DECLARATION SECTION CALLED?

data table

char

datatype 1 byte Characters enclosed in quotes ex: 'a', 'b', 'c'

bool

datatype Boolean 1 byte once of two values: true or false 1, 0

double

datatype double precision float 8 bytes Floats up to 15 digits same as float but large numbers

float

datatype floating point numbers 4 bytes pos. or negative decimal numbers - including fractional part (up to 7 digits) ex: 32.2345, 0.0, -.045, 123.123456

long

datatype long integer 4 bytes (8 on some systems) same as int

int

datatype 4 bytes pos. or neg. integers (whole numbers) (9 digits 2^32) ex: 34, 6, 12345, -23 etc.

WHAT DOES THE COMPILER NEED TO KNOW WHEN DECLARING IDENTIFIERS?

datatype the type of data how much to store

GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF HOW TO DECLARE A VARIABLE IN CODE

datatype variableName; or more specifically: int variableName;

WHAT DATA TYPE WOULD WE USE TO STORE THE AVERAGE OF A SUM OF INTEGERS?

float and technically a double

WHEN WOULD YOU NEED AN ACCUMULATOR?

for running totals - sum an unknown number of inputs

in the conditional statement (hrsWrkd < 40 ? (hrsWrkd - 40)*rate*1.5:0.0); which is the condition? which is true statement? which is the false statement?

hrsWrkd<40 is condition (hrsWrkd-40)*rate*1.5 is true statement 0.0 is false statement

C-Strings

if you have more than one character you need to store you use c strings - An array of characters - The last character is called the null terminator (\0) null terminator tells the compiler where the end of the string is - We need to specify how many characters we want ex: char variableName[15]; can hold 15 characters, 14 + null terminator (null terminator counts as character)

GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF WHEN IT IS USEFUL NOT TO USE BREAK STATEMENTS WITHIN A SWITCH STATEMENT

if you want the succeeding statements to execute such as switch (letterGrade) case 'a' : case 'A' : gradePoint = 4.0 letterGrade = gradePoint; break; case 'b' : case 'B' : gradePoint = 3.0 letterGrade = gradePoint break; default : cout << "invalid";

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DECISION?

primary is outer if secondary is inner if

WHEN DO WE INITIALIZE A VARIABLE?

just before their use in the program, before we have defined a value for it. ex: int count; count = 0 incorrect - incount = 0; we only do this with CONSTANTS

'\n'

new line -best when used with text

WHAT IS A LITERAL IN C++?

on right side of cout (string, int, or float)

HOW DO WE USE A VALUE STORED IN A VARIABLE?

output and in an expression - cout << variableValue << " is your value for your variable";

REWRITE THE EXPRESSION DISTRIBUTING THE ! OPERATOR !(num1 >= num2 && num3 < num4 || num1 != -1)

remember the order of precedence! (num1 < num2 ||num3 >= num4) && num1 == -1

switch

#include <iomanip>

tells pre-processor we will be using output manipulators like setw, setprecision, fixed, showpoint etc

#include <iostream>

tells the pre-processor we will be using input output functions cout and cin statements

#include <cstring>

tells the pre-processor we will be using strngcpy etc

BLACK BOX TESTING

testing FUNCTIONALITY of code think about what the code should do and write test cases before coding - you don't see code - Test based on specifications of program - determine test cases and expected output - compare the actual output to the expected output - Plans are written ahead of time - Testing Inputs and Outputs

WHITE BOX TESTING

tests structure and think about loops and selection statements - You can see the code - you define test cases based on what you see of the code - Testing STRUCTURE (internal behavior) of the code ensuring it meets the design - TEST CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS - Test pathways of nested statements - if statements true/false - Loops - while loops - what happens if first input causes loop to exit? - test boundaries if (hours>40) then test values: 40, 39, 41
