CS99 Fall 2002
Prelim 2 Topics

Previous topics:
+ All topics from T1
+ algorithms again
+ all homework and exercises to date

Problems:
+ short answer:
  - arrays (creating, inserting, extracting)
  - characters and strings
  - a bit about structures
+ student problem (loops)
+ character graphics (nested loops)
+ maybe an algorithm
+ writing a function 
  (example: write a function called $myUpper$ that converts a lowercase
   string to uppercase)

Loops:
+ identifying when to use a loop
+ syntax of $while$ and $for$
+ definite and indefinite loops
+ design process (from algorithm to working loop)
+ boundary and initial conditions for preprocessing
+ postprocessing after loops
+ processing input in loops

Arrays:
+ 1D
+ 2D
+ size and dimensions
+ indexing (from lecture and lab)
+ storing and retrieving elements

Strings:
+ creating
+ array of strings
+ character arithmetic
+ using numerical values of characters to manipulate strings

Functions:
+ creating... for example,

  function newString = myUpper(oldString)
  % MYUPPER make string uppercase
