3. Group selection – this one is special
This is a lecture + lab type of class. The following rules only apply to our English lab time!
There is no separate lecture
The tests are conducted during the labs
Everything will be submitted to and graded by us
Transfers to and from the other lab (running concurrently with us) are allowed for the first three weeks.
2017

4. Prerequisites C program structure Variable declarations
Arrays, up to 2 dimensions
Loops
Conditionals
Strings
Functions
Ability to create a decent title page and write documentation
2017

5. What to expect Pointers Binary operations File access
Programming microcontrollers
Structures
Database connections (SQL)
Dynamic memory management
etc.
Recursions
Advanced data structures (stack, linked list)
2017

6. Coding style
Using our coding style is highly recommended, but not mandatory.
If you already have a commonly acceptable style, we’ll allow it.
However the following is mandatory
Meaningful comments (functions, files, complex operations, conditions etc.)
Different naming schemes for variables, functions, macros
Whitespace (empty lines, spaces)
Line length
Uniformity – sticking with the style throughout the code
2017

7. Borrowing ideas and code
When using code written by someone else, you must understand exactly what it does and how it does it.
When working together in the lab, everybody involved must have full understanding of the code.
We may ask you to defend your lab tasks, homework, test or exam code. In this case, the score will be 0 until a successful defense.
Obvious and intentional plagiarism will be dealt with according to the procedure for processing contemptible behavior.
