Preface
About this Textbook/Collection

Programming Fundamentals A Modular Structured Approach using C++
Programming Fundamentals - A Modular Structured Approach using C++ is written by Kenneth Leroy Busbee, a faculty member at Houston Community College in Houston, Texas. The materials used in this textbook/collection were developed by the author and others as independent modules for publication within the Connexions environment. Programming fundamentals are often divided into three college courses: Modular/Structured, Object Oriented and Data Structures. three courses. This textbook/collection covers the rst of those
Connexions Learning Modules

The learning modules of this textbook/collection were written as presented by the author of the collection. However, the majority of readers of these modules will nd them as a result of an Internet search. The Connexions Project allows the author of a module to create web links to other Connexions modules and Internet locations. These links are shown when viewing materials on-line and are categorized into three types: Example, Prerequisite and Supplemental. The importance of each link is numbered from 1 to 3 by the author. When viewing the module each links shows a three part box with yellow or white rectangles. All three yellow means it is a
standalone modules. Students using a
collection of modules as a textbook will usually view it contents by reading the modules sequentially as
strongly related link. As the yellow decreases the importance decreases. Prerequisite links within the modules will be modules that student should have already read and most of the Supplemental links
Students using this collection for a college course should note that all of the will be modules that the student will read shortly. Thus, students should use Prerequisite links for review as needed and not be overly concerned about viewing all of the Supplemental links at the rst reading of this textbook/collection.
Conceptual Approach
The learning modules of this textbook/collection were, for the most part, written without consideration of a specic programming language. In many cases the C++ language is discussed as part of the explanation of the concept. Often the examples used for C++ are exactly the same for the Java programming language. However, some modules were written specically for the C++ programming language. This could not be avoided as the C++ language is used in conjunction with this textbook/collection by the author in teaching college courses.

Bloodshed Dev-C++ 5 Compiler/IDE

This open source compiler/IDE (Integrated Development Environment) was used to develop the demonstration source code les provided within the modules of this textbook/collection. The compiler/IDE is presented to the student in the second module of Chapter 1, with instructions for downloading, installing and using the compiler/IDE. A more complete explanation of the IDE along with demonstration source code listings with errors is presented in rst module of Chapter 5. All of the source code les provided in this textbook/collection contain only ANSI standard C++ code and should work on any standard C++ compiler like Microsoft Visual Studio (which includes C++), Microsoft Visual C++ Express or Borland C++ Builder.

Connexions PDF Conversion Problems

Buying a copy of the textbook/collection is basically sending the PDF le to a printing service that has a contract with the Connexions project. There are several known printing problems and the Connexions Project is aware of them and seeking a solution. In the mean time, be aware that quirks exist for printed PDF materials. A description of the known problems are: 1. When it converts an "Example" the PDF displays the rst line of an example properly but indents the remaining lines of the example. This problem occurs for the printing of a book (because it prints a PDF) and downloading either a module or a textbook/collection as a PDF. 2. Chapter numbering has been added to the on-line Table of Contents. students to quickly get to the chapter reading materials. This will make it easier for However this creates a "double" chapter
numbering within the textbook/collection's PDF and custom printing formats. 3. Within C++ there are three operators that do not convert properly to PDF format.

which is two minus signs which is two less than signs which is two greater than signs

Rating Connexion Modules

A rating feature was added during 2009 for Connexions modules. It will not be useful until more people rate modules within the Connexions repository. If a module is rated by several people, it can be used as a
measure of quality. Thus, your participation in rating modules is welcomed and helps others determine
the quality of the educational materials being viewed. In order to rate modules you must have a Connexions account. Three (3) modules have been added to the preface series of modules for this collection. They explain why and how to create a Connexions account and how to rate a Connexions module.
Author Acknowledgements
I wish to acknowledge the many people who have helped me and have encouraged me in this project. 1. Mr. Abass Alamnehe, who is a fellow faculty member at Houston Community College. He has encouraged the use of Connexions as an "open source" publishing concept. His comments on several modules have led directly to the improvement of the materials in this textbook/collection. 2. The hundreds (most likely a thousand plus) students that I have taken programming courses that I have taught since 1984. The languages include: COBOL, main frame IBM assembly, Intel assembly, Pascal, "C" and "C++". They have often suggested that I write my own book because they thought that I was explaining the subject matter better than the author of the textbook that we were using. Little did my students understand that directly or indirectly they aided in the improvement of the materials from which I taught as well as improving me as a teacher. 3. To my future students and all those that will use this textbook/collection. They will provide suggestions for improvement as well as being the thousand eyes identifying the hard to nd typos, etc. 4. My wife, Carol, who supports me in all that I do. She has tolerated the many hours that I have spent in concentration on developing the modules that comprise this work. Without her support, this work would not have happened.

Orientation and Syllabus

Orientation
Textbook/Collection Layout
The approach of this course will be to take the student through a progression of materials that will allow the student to develop the skills of programming. The basic unit of study is a Connexions module. Several modules are collected into a chapter. The chapters are divided into ve groups.

Some professors using this textbook/collection might decide to eliminate certain modules or chapters. Some may eliminate the entire Advanced Topics group. Other professors may choose to add additional study materials. The advantage of this textbook/collection is that it may be adapted by professors to suit the needs of their students.
Chapter Layout
Each chapter will usually ow from: 1. One or more Connexions modules built for independent delivery. 2. A Connexions Practice module built specically for this textbook/collection. As you proceed with the Connexions modules that comprise a chapter, you should:
Complete any tasks/demos that require downloading items.

7
Do any exercises. Create 3x5 study cards for all denitions. When this material is used as a textbook for a course the denitions are to be memorized. Conrm this with your professor.
As you start the Practice module you will usually encounter:
Learning Objectives Memory Building Activities aka MBAs Link These could consist of any of the following types of interactive computer activities: ordering or sorting. fun learning. ash card, crossword puzzle, seek a word, drag n drop, labeling, When the materials are used as a textbook for a course, it is imperative that
students do a variety of repetitive activities in order to memorize basic course material. Besides, have
Exercises In addition to any exercises within the study modules that you completed before the practice module, there will be at least one exercise for students to complete. Miscellaneous Items These will exist for some of the chapters. Lab Assignment Usually, completed on one's own eorts. Review the instructions/restrictions from your professor/teacher if using this for a high school or college credit course. Problems The intent of this activity is for students to formulate their own answers. Thus, solutions to the problems will not be provided. When the materials are used as a textbook for a course, the professor/teacher may assign students to a "Study Group" or let students form study groups to discuss their solutions with each other. If you are using this for a high school or college credit course, verify that you may work as team at solving the problems. This type of approved activity is called "authorized collusion" and is not a violation of "Academic or Scholastic Dishonesty" rules.
A professor using this textbook/collection/course will most likely have additional lab assignments, quizzes and exams that would be used in calculating your grade.

The a major task (referred to as an application).
Systems Development Life Cycle is the big picture of creating an information system that handles The applications usually consist of many programs. An
example would be the Department of Defense supply system, the customer system used at your local bank, the repair parts inventory system used by car dealerships. There are thousands of applications that use an information system created just to help solve a business problem. Another example of an information system would be the "101 Computer Games" software you might buy at any of several retail stores. This is an entertainment application, that is we are applying the computer to do a task (entertain you). The software actually consists of many dierent programs (checkers, chess, tic tac toe, etc.) that were most likely written by several dierent programmers. Computer professionals that are in charge of creating applications often have the job title of System Analyst. The major steps in creating an application include the following and start at Planning step.

Maintenance phase, it goes through a mini planning,
analysis, design and implementation. The programs that need modication are identied and programmers change or repair those programs. After several years of use, the system usually becomes obsolete. At this point a major revision of the application is done. Thus the cycle repeats itself.

1.2 Bloodshed Dev-C++ 5 Compiler/IDE2

1.2.1 Introduction
Microsoft and Borland are the two reputable names within the programming world for compilers. They sell compiler software for many programming languages. For the C++ programming language, the Microsoft Visual Studio which includes C++ and Borland C++ Builder are excellent compilers. Often with textbooks or free via the internet; you can get Microsoft's Visual C++ Express or Borland's Personal Edition version of a compiler. However, installing either of these compliers can be complex. Microsoft's Visual Studio compiler often creates a variety of installation problems (such as making sure the operating system and .net components are current) thus making it dicult for students to install at home. These compliers require you to build a project to encompass every program. Using a commercially sold compiler that professional programmers would consider using for project development is ne for professionals but often confusing to beginners. Eventually, if you are going to become a professional programmer, you will need to become familiar with the commercially sold compilers. We suggest that beginning students consider one of the easier to install compiler software packages for use in a programming fundamentals course. The best option we have found is an (Integrated Development Environment) named:
open source compiler/IDE Bloodshed Dev-C++ 5 compiler/IDE.
Denition 1.5: open source

Group development of source code for software that is made available to the public at no cost.
1.2.2 Bloodshed Dev-C++ 5 compiler/IDE

Advantages: Can be installed on Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP operating systems. I have it installed on Windows Vista operating system, thus it can work with slower processors and almost any Windows operating system. It only requires about 80 MB of storage space (usually enough for the compiler with all of its les and storage room for several of your programs). It is very easy to install and easy to use. the use of a "project"; thus individual source code les can be easily compiled. Disadvantages: Would not normally be used by professional programmers, but is sucient for a beginning computer programming course and is a full-featured compiler/IDE. work on their lab assignments on any computer that has a USB port.

Below are installation instructions for installing it on a machine or installing it on a ash drive. We don't suggest trying to switch between the machine drive and ash drive. If it is installed on the machine drive and you try installing it on a ash drive, it creates problems and will not work perperly. Either install it on the ash drive to gain your portability or install it on your machine.

1.3 Modularization and C++ Program Layout6

1.3.1 Concept of Modularization
One of the most important concepts of programming is the ability to group some lines of code into a unit that can be included in our program. The original wording for this was a sub-program. Other names include: macro, sub-routine, procedure, module and function. We are going to use the term
function for that is
what they are called in the two predominant programming languages of today: C++ and Java. Functions are important because they allow us to take large complicated programs and to divide them into smaller manageable pieces. Because the function is a smaller piece of the overall program, we can concentrate on what we want it to do and test it to make sure it works properly. Generally functions fall into two categories: 1.
Program Control - Functions used to simply sub divide and control the program. These functions are
unique to the program being written. Other programs may use similar functions maybe even functions with the same name, but the content of the functions are almost always very dierent.
2.
Specic Task - Functions designed to be used with several programs. These functions perform a
specic task and thus are useable in many dierent programs because the other programs also need to do the specic task. Specic task functions are sometimes referred to as building blocks. Because they are already coded and tested, we can use them with condence to more eciently write a large program.
The main program must establish the existence of functions used in that program. programming language, there is a formal way to: 1. dene a function (it's 2.
Depending on the
denition or the code it will execute)
call a function prototype is a declaration to a complier)
3. declare a function (a
Program Control functions normally do not communicate information to each other but use a common area for variable storage. Specic Task functions are constructed so that data can be communicated between the calling program piece (which is usually another function) and the function being called. This ability to communicate data is what allows us to build a specic task function that may be used in many programs. The rules for how the data is communicated in and out of a function vary greatly by programming language, but the concept is the same. The data items passed (or communicated) are called parameters. Thus the wording:
parameter passing. The four data communication options include:
1. no communication in with no communication out 2. some communication in with no communication out 3. some communication in with some communication out 4. no communication in with some communication out
1.3.2 Introduction of Functions within C++

We are going to consider a simple program that might be used for testing a compiler to make sure that it is installed correctly.
Example 1.1: Compiler_Test.cpp source code
//****************************************************** // Filename: Compiler_Test.cpp

27
// Purpose: Average the ages of two people // Author: Ken Busbee; Kenneth Leroy Busbee // Date: Jan 5, 2009 // Comment: Main idea is to be able to // debug and run a program on your compiler. //****************************************************** // Headers and Other Technical Items #include <iostream> using namespace std; // Function Prototypes void pause(void); // Variables int int double age1; age2; answer;
//****************************************************** // main //****************************************************** int main(void) { // Input cout "\nEnter the age of the first person --->: "; cin age1; cout "\nEnter the age of the second person -->: "; cin age2; // Process answer = (age1 + age2) / 2.0; // Output cout "\nThe average of their ages is -------->: "; cout answer; pause(); return 0; } //****************************************************** // pause //****************************************************** void pause(void) {
28

cout "\n\n"; system("PAUSE"); cout "\n\n"; return; }
//****************************************************** // End of Program //******************************************************

This program has two functions, one from each of our categories. The technical layout of functions are the same, it is our distinction that creates the two categories based on how a function is being implemented.
1.3.2.1 Program Control Function

The main program piece in C++ program is a special function with the
identier name of main. The
special or uniqueness of main as a function is that this is where the program starts executing code and this is where it usually stops executing code. It is usually the rst function dened in a program and appears after the area used for includes, other technical items, declaration of prototypes, the listing of global constants and variables and any other items generally needed by the program. The code to dene the function main is provided; however, it is not prototyped or usually called like other functions within a program. In this simple example, there are no other program control functions.
1.3.2.2 Specic Task Function

We often have the need to perform a specic task that might be used in many programs. In the Com-
pile_Test.cpp source code above we have such a task that is used to stop the execution of the code until the user hits the enter key. The functions name is: pause. This function is not communicating any information between the calling function and itself, thus the use of the data type void.
Example 1.2: general layout of a function
<return value data type> function identifier name(<data type> <identifier name for input value>) { lines of code;
return <value>; }
There is no semi-colon after the rst line. Semi-colons are used at the end of a statement in C++, but not on the rst line when dening a function. Functions have a set of
braces {} used for identifying a group or
block of statements or lines of code. There are normally several lines of code within a function. Lines of code containing the instructions end in a semi-colon. Can you identify the denition of the pause function in the above program example? The pause function denition is after the function main. Though not technically required, most programs list all functions (program control or specic task) after the function main. Let's identify the location where the function pause is called. The calling function is the function main and it towards the end of the function. The line looks like:
pause();
When you call a function you use its identier name and a set of parentheses. You place any data items you are passing inside the parentheses, and in our example there are none. A semi-colon ends the statement
29
or line of code.
After our program is compiled and running, the lines of code in the function main are
executed and when it gets to the calling of the pause function, the control of the program moves to the pause function and starts executing the lines of code in the pause function. When it's done with the lines of code, it will return to the place in the program that called it (in our example the function main) and continue with the code in that function. Once we know how to dene a function and how to call a function, we usually will need to know how to declare a function to the compiler (called a prototype). Because of normal computer programming industry standards, programmers usually list the function main rst with other functions dened after it. executable version for running on our computer, the rst step of the process is compiling. Then somewhere in the function main, we will call a function. When we convert our source code program to an The compiler program demands to know what the communication will be between two functions when a function is called. It will know the communication (what going in and out as parameters) if the function being called has been dened. But, we have not dened that function yet; it is dened after the function main. To solve this problem, we show the compiler a prototype of what the function will look like (at least the communication features of the function) when we dene it.
void pause(void);
This line of code looks exactly like the rst line in our function denition with one important addition of a semi-colon. Prototypes (or declarations to the compiler of the communications of a function not yet
Summary concept: If you call a function before it is dened you must prototype it before it is called. Looking at our list of the
dened) are placed near the top of the program before the function main. three things you do in conjunction with a function in the order that they normally appear in a program, there is a formal way to: 1. declare a function (a prototype is a communications declaration to a complier) 2. call a function 3. dene a function
1.3.3 C++ Program Layout

From the above example, you can see that 2/3 of the program is the two functions. Most C++ programs have several items before the function main. As in the example, they often are: 1. Documentation Most programs have a comment area at the start of the program with a variety of comments pertinent to the program. Any line starting with two slashes // is a comment and the compiler software disregards everything from the // to the end of the line. 2. #include<iostream> This line of code inserts a le into the source code. The le contains necessary code to be able to do simple input and output. 3. using namespace std The C++ compiler has an area where it keeps the identier names used in a program organized and it is called a namespace. There is a namespace created in conjunction with the iostream le called: std. This line informs the compiler to use the namespace std where the identier names in the iostream are established. 4. Function prototypes have already been explained. 5. We need some variables (storage areas) for this program to work. They are dened next.

1.4.5 Lab Assignment

1.4.5.1 Creating a Folder or Sub-Folder for Chapter 01 Files
Within the Chapter 1 Connexions modules you were given directions on how to install the Bloodshed Dev-C++ 5 compiler/IDE and to test your installation with the Compiler_Test.cpp source code le. If you have not done this, return to the Connexions materials and complete this task. In the compiler installation directions you were asked to make a folder named: Cpp_Source_Code_Files. All of your lab assignments in this course assume you have that folder on the same drive as your compiler (either drive C: your hard disk drive, or on a ash drive). If you don't have that folder, go create it now. Depending on your compiler/IDE, you should decide where to download and store source code les for processing. Prudence dictates that you create these folders as needed prior to downloading source code les. A suggested sub-folder for the
Bloodshed Dev-C++ 5 compiler/IDE might be named:
Chapter_01 within the folder named: Cpp_Source_Code_Files
If you have not done so, please create the folder(s) and/or sub-folder(s) as appropriate.

1.4.5.3 Detailed Lab Instructions

Read and follow the directions below carefully, and perform the steps in the order listed.
Navigate to your sub-folder:
Chapter_01 and rename the Compiler_Test.cpp source code le to:
Lab_01.cpp
If you are having problems seeing the le extensions, visit the Show Hide File Extensions instructions within the Appendix. Start your compiler and open the source code le. Carefully make the following modications:
Change the comments at the top, specically:

The lename should be: Lab_01.cpp Purpose should be: Average the weight of three people Remove the next 2 lines of comment talking about the main idea Author: put your name and erase my name and copyright Date: Put today's date Remove the next 3 lines of comment dealing with licensing (don't erase the asterisk line)
note: During the rest of the course you will often use a source code le provided by the instructor
as your starting point for a new lab assignment. Sometimes you will use a source code le that you have created as your starting point for a new lab assignment. Either way, you should modify the comments area as appropriate to include at a minimum the four lines of information (lename, purpose, author and date) as established in this lab assignment.
We are now going to make simple modications to this program so that it is able to
average the weight of three people. Do the following:
Within the variables area, change the variable names for age1 and age2 to weight1 and weight2. Add another variable of integer data type with the identier name of weight3. The input area has two prompts and requests for data from the user. They are paired up a prompt and getting data from the keyboard. We need to modify the prompt to ask for weight instead of age. We need to change the variable name from age1 to weight1. Do this for the second pair that prompts and gets the second data item. Create a third pair that prompts and gets the third data item.
The process area has only one line of code and we need to make changes that add the weight3 and divides by 3.0 instead of 2.0. The code should look like this:
answer = (weight1 + weight2 + weight3) / 3.0; The output area needs the text modied from ages to weights.
Build (compile and run) your program. You have successfully written this program if when it run and you put in the three weights; it tells you the correct average.
After you have successfully written this program, if you are taking this course for college credit, follow the instructions from your professor/instructor for submitting it for grading.

2. Program Planning & Design

2.1 Program Design1
2.1.1 Topic Introduction
Program Design consists of the steps a programmer should do before they start coding the program in a specic language. These steps when properly documented will make the completed program easier for other programmers to maintain in the future. There are three broad areas of activity:
Understanding the Program Using Design Tools to Create a Model Develop Test Data
2.1.2 Understanding the Program

If you are working on a project as a one of many programmers, the system analyst may have created a variety of documentation items that will help you understand what the program is to do. These could include screen layouts, narrative descriptions, documentation showing the processing steps, etc. If you are not on a project and you are creating a simple program you might be given only a simple description of the purpose of the program. Understanding the purpose of a program usually involves understanding it's:

must enter on the keyboard and what processing or manipulations will be done.
2.1.3 Using Design Tools to Create a Model

At rst you will not need a hierarchy chart because your rst programs will not be complex. But as they grow and become more complex, you will divide your program into several modules (or functions). The rst modeling tool you will usually learn is follow closely the IPO approach above.
pseudocode. You will document the logic or algorithm
of each function in your program. At rst, you will have only one function, and thus your pseudocode will

36
CHAPTER 2. 2. PROGRAM PLANNING & DESIGN

There are several methods or tools for planning the logic of a program. They include: owcharting,
hierarchy or structure charts, pseudocode, HIPO, Nassi-Schneiderman charts, Warnier-Orr diagrams, etc. Programmers are expected to be able to understand and do owcharting and pseudocode. These methods of developing the model of a program are usually taught in most computer courses. Several standards exist for owcharting and pseudocode and most are very similar to each other. However, most companies have their own documentation standards and styles. Programmers are expected to be able to quickly adapt to any owcharting or pseudocode standards for the company at which they work. The others methods that are less universal require some training which is generally provided by the employer that chooses to use them. Later in your programming career, you will learn about using applications software that helps create an information system and/or programs. This type of software is called Computer-aided Software Engineering. Understanding the logic and planning the algorithm on paper before you start to code is very important concept. Many students develop poor habits and skipping this step is one of them.
2.1.4 Develop Test Data

Test data consists of the user providing some input values and predicting the outputs. This can be quite
easy for a simple program and the test data can be used to check the model to see if it produces the correct results.
2.1.5 Denitions
Denition 2.1: IPO
Inputs - Processing - Outputs
Denition 2.2: pseudocode

English-like statements used to convey the steps of an algorithm or function.
Denition 2.3: test data

Providing input values and predicting the outputs.
2.2 Pseudocode2
2.2.1 Overview
Pseudocode is one method of designing or planning a program. It looks like (imitates) real code but it is NOT real code.
Pseudo means false, thus pseudocode means
false code. A better translation would be the word fake or imitation. Pseudocode is fake (not the real thing). It uses English statements to describe what a program is to accomplish. It is fake because no complier exists that will translate the pseudocode to any machine language. Pseudocode is used for documenting the program or module design (also known as the algorithm). The following outline of a simple program illustrates pseudocode. We want to be able to enter the ages of two people and have the computer calculate their average age and display the answer.
Example 2.1: Outline using Pseudocode
Input display get the display get the
a message asking the user to enter the first age first age from the keyboard a message asking the user to enter the second age second age from the keyboard
37
Processing calculate the answer by adding the two ages together and dividing by two Output display the answer on the screen pause so the user can see the answer
After developing the program design, we use the pseudocode to write code in a language (like Pascal, COBOL, FORTRAN, "C", " C++", etc.) where you must follow the rules of the language (syntax) in order to code the logic or algorithm presented in the pseudocode. Pseudocode usually does not include other items produced during programming design such as identier lists for variables or test data. There are other methods for planning and documenting the logic for a program. One method is
HIPO. It
stands for Hierarchy plus Input Process Output and was developed by IBM in the 1960s. It involved using a hierarchy (or structure) chart to show the relationship of the sub-routines (or functions) in a program. Each sub-routine had an
IPO piece. Since the above problem/task was simple, we did not need to use multiple
sub-routines, thus we did not produce a hierarchy chart. We did incorporate the IPO part of the concept for the pseudocode outline.
2.2.2 Denitions
Denition 2.4: pseudo
Means false and includes the concepts of fake or imitation.
2.3 Test Data3

2.3.1 Overview
Test data consists of the user providing some input values and predicting the outputs. This can be quite easy for a simple program and the test data can be used twice. 1. to check the model to see if it produces the correct results (model
2. to check the coded program to see if it produces the correct results (code
checking) checking)
Test data is developed by using the algorithm of the program. This algorithm is usually documented during the program design with either owcharting or pseudocode. Here is the pseudocode in outline form describing the inputs, processing and outputs for a program used for painting rectangular buildings.
Example 2.2: Pseudocode using an IPO Outline for Painting a Rectangular Building
Input display get the display get the display get the display get the display get the
a message asking user for the length of the building length from the keyboard a message asking user for the width of the building width from the keyboard a message asking user for the height of the building height from the keyboard a message asking user for the price per gallon of paint price per gallon of paint from the keyboard a message asking user for the sq ft coverage of a gallon of paint sq ft coverage of a gallon of paint from the keyboard
38
Processing calculate the total area of the building by: multiplying the length by height by 2 then multiply the width by height by 2 then add the two results together calculate the number of gallons of paint needed by: dividing the total area by the coverage per gallon then round up to the next whole gallon calculate the total cost of the paint by: multiplying the total gallons needed by the price of one gallon of paint Output display the number of gallons needed on the monitor display the total cost of the paint on the monitor pause so the user can see the answer
2.3.2 Creating Test Data and Model Checking

Test data is used to verify that the inputs, processing and outputs are working correctly. As test data is initially developed it can verify that the documented algorithm (pseudocode in the example we are doing) is correct. It helps us understand and even visualize the inputs, processing and outputs of the program. Inputs: My building is 100 feet long by 40 feet wide and 10 feet in height and I selected paint costing $28.49 per gallon that will cover 250 square feet per gallon. We should verify that the pseudocode is prompting the user for this data. Processing: Using my solar powered hand held calculator, I can calculate (or predict) the total area would be: (100 x 10 x 2 plus 40 x 10 x 2) or 2,800 sq ft. The total gallons of paint would be: (2800 / 250) or 11.2 gallons. But rounded up, I would need twelve (12) gallons of paint. The total cost would be: (28.49 times 12) or $341.88. We should verify that the pseudocode is performing the correct calculations. Output: Only the signicant information (number of gallons to buy and the total cost) are displayed for the user to see. We should verify that the appropriate information is being displayed.
2.3.3 Testing the Coded Program Code Checking

The test data can be developed and used to test the algorithm that is documented (in our case our pseudocode) during the program design phase. Once the program is code with compiler and linker errors resolved, the programmer gets to play user and should test the program using the test data developed. When you run your program, how will you know that it is working properly? accomplish your purpose? test data. By developing test data we are predicting what the results should be, thus we can verify that our program is working properly. When we run the program we would enter the input values used in our test data. Hopefully the program will output the predicted values. If not then our problem could be any of the following: 1. The plan (IPO outline or other item) could be wrong 2. The conversion of the plan to code might be wrong 3. The test data results were calculated wrong Resolving problems of this nature can be the most dicult problems a programmer encounters. You must review each of the above to determine where the error is lies. Fix the error and re-test your program. Did you properly plan your logic to Even if your plan was correct, did it get converted correctly (coded) into the
chosen programming language (in our case C++)? The answer (or solution) to all of these questions is our

3. Data & Operators

3.1 Data Types in C++1
3.1.1 General Discussion
Our interactions (inputs and outputs) of a program are treated in many languages as a stream of bytes. These bytes represent data that can be interpreted as representing values that we understand. Additionally, within a program we process this data in various ways such as adding them up or sorting them. This data comes in dierent forms. Examples include: yourname which is a string of characters; your age which is usually an integer; or the amount of money in your pocket which is usually a value measured in dollars and cents (something with a fractional part). A major part of understanding how to design and code programs in centered in understanding the types of data that we want to manipulate and how to manipulate that data. "A values for each type is known as the domain for that type."
type denes a set of values and a set of operations that can be applied on those values. The set of 2 The four major families of data include:
Nothing Integer Floating-point Complex
The C++ programming language identies ve data types as standard data types:

The standard data types and the complex data types within C++ have a series of attributes, which include:

3.2 Identier Names3

3.2.1 Overview
Within programming a variety of items are given descriptive names to make the code more meaningful to us as humans. These names are called "Identier Names". Constants, variables, type denitions, functions, etc. when declared or dened are identied by a name. These names follow a set of rules that are imposed by: 1. the language's technical limitations 2. good programming practices 3. common industry standards for the language
3.2.2 Technical to Language

Use only allowable characters (for C++ the rst character alphabetic or underscore, can continue with alphanumeric or underscore) Can't use reserved words Length limit
These attributes vary from one programming language to another. The allowable characters and reserved words will be dierent. The length limit refers to how many characters are allowed in an identier name and often is compiler dependent and may vary from compiler to compiler for the same language. However, all programming languages have these three technical rules.
3.2.3 Good Programming Techniques

Meaningful Be case consistent
Meaningful identier names make your code easier for another to understand. After all what does "p" mean? Is it pi, price, pennies, etc. Thus do not use cryptic (look it up in the dictionary) identier names. Some programming languages treat upper and lower case letters used in identier names as the same. Thus: pig and Pig are treated as the same identier name. Unknown to you the programmer, the compiler usually forces all identier names to upper case. Thus: pig and Pig both get changed to PIG. However not all programming languages act this way. Some will treat upper and lower case letters as being dierent things. Thus: pig and Pig are two dierent identier names. If you declare it as pig and then reference it in
be case consistent. Use an identier name only once and spell it (upper and lower case) the same way within
your code later as Pig you get a compiler error. To avoid the problem altogether, we teach students to your program.
3.2.4 Industry Rules

Do not start with underscore (used for technical programming) variables in all lower case CONSTANTS IN ALL UPPER CASE
These rules are decided by the industry (those who are using the programming language). The above rules were commonly used within the "C" programming language and have to large degree carried over to C++.
48

Denition 3.6: reserved word
Words that cannot be used by the programmer as identier names because they already have a specic meaning within the programming language.
3.2.5 Denitions
3.3 Constants and Variables4

3.3.1 Understanding Constants
Various textbooks describe constants using dierent terminology. Added to the complexity are the explanations from various industry professionals will vary greatly. Let's see if we can clear it up. A A
constant is a data item whose value cannot change during the program's execution. Thus, as its name variable is a data item whose value can change during the program's execution. Thus, as its name
implies their value is constant. implies their value can vary. Constants are used in three ways within C++. They are: 1. literal constant 2. dened constant 3. memory constant A
literal constant is a value you type into your program wherever it is needed. Examples include the Example 3.1: Literal Constants
constants used for initializing a variable and constants used in lines of code:
int char float bool
age grade money rich
= = = =
21; 'A'; 12.34; false;
cout "\nStudents love computers"; age = 57;

Additionally, we have learned how to recognize the data types of literal constants. Single quotes for char, double quotes for string, number without a decimal point for integer, number with a decimal point belongs to the oating-point family, and Boolean can use the reserved words of true or false. In addition to literal constants, most text books refer to either symbolic constants or named constants but these two refer to the same concept. A symbolic constant is represented by a name similar to how we name variables. Let's say it backwards; the identier name is the symbol that represents the data item. Within C++ identier names have some rules. One of the rules says those names should be meaningful. Another rule about using ALL CAPS FOR CONSTANTS is an industry rule. There are two ways to create symbolic or named constants:
#define PI 3.14159
Called a
dened constant because it uses a textual substitution method controlled by the compiler
pre-processor command word "dene".
const double PI = 3.14159;
49
The second one is called sometimes called
itself. How can it be constant and vary at the same time? The better name for the second one is a
constant variable but that name is contradictory all by memory
constant because they have a "specic storage location in memory".
3.3.2 Dening Constants and Variables

In the above examples we see how to dene both variables and constants along with giving them an initial value. Memory constants must be assigned a value when they are dened. But variables do not have to be assigned initial values.
int height; float value_coins;

Variables once dened may be assigned a value within the instructions of the program.
height = 72; value_coins = 2 * 0.25 + 3 * 0.05;
3.3.3 Denitions
Denition 3.7: constant
A data item whose value cannot change during the program's execution.
Denition 3.8: variable

A data item whose value can change during the program's execution.
3.4 Data Manipulation5

3.4.1 Introduction
Single values by themselves are important; however we need a method of manipulating values (processing data). Scientists wanted an accurate machine for manipulating values. They wanted a machine to process numbers or calculate answers (that is compute the answer). Prior to 1950, dictionaries listed the denition of computers as " humans that do computations". Thus, all of the terminology for describing data manipulation is math oriented. Additionally, the two fundamental data type families (the integer family and oating-point family) consist entirely of number values.
3.4.2 Denitions
Denition 3.9: expression
A valid sequence of operand(s) and operator(s) that reduces (or evaluates) to a single value.
Denition 3.10: operator

A language-specic syntactical token (usually a symbol) that causes an action to be taken on one or more operands.
Denition 3.11: operand

A value that receives the operator's action.
Denition 3.12: precedence

Determines the order in which the operators are allowed to manipulate the operands.
Denition 3.13: associativity

Determines the order in which the operators of the same precedence are allowed to manipulate the operands.
50

Denition 3.14: evaluation
The process of applying the operators to the operands and resulting in a single value.
Denition 3.15: parentheses

Change the order of evaluation in an expression. You do what's in the parentheses rst.
3.4.3 An Expression Example with Evaluation

Let's look at an example: 2 + 3 * 4 + 5 is our expression but what does it equal? 1. the symbols of + meaning addition and * meaning multiplication are our operators 2. the values 2, 3, 4 and 5 are our operands 3. precedence says that multiplication is higher than addition 4. thus, we evaluate the 3 * 4 to get 12 5. now we have: 2 + 12 + 5 6. the associativity rules say that addition goes left to right, thus we evaluate the 2 +12 to get 14 7. now we have: 14 + 5 8. nally, we evaluate the 14 + 5 to get 19; which is the value of the expression Parentheses would change the outcome. (2 + 3) * (4 + 5) evaluates to 45. Parentheses would change the outcome. (2 + 3) * 4 + 5 evaluates to 25.
3.4.4 Precedence of Operators Chart

Each computer language has some rules that dene precedence and associativity. They often follow rules we may have already learned. Multiplication and division come before addition and subtraction is a rule we learned in grade school. This rule still works. The precedence rules vary from one programming language to another. You should refer to the reference sheet that summarizes the rules for the language that you are using. It is often called a Precedence of Operators Chart. You should review this chart as needed when evaluating expressions. A valid expression consists of operand(s) and operator(s) that are put together properly. Why the (s)? Some operators are: 1. Unary that is only have one operand 2. Binary that is have two operands, one on each side of the operator 3. Trinary which has two operator symbols that separate three operands Most operators are binary, that is they require two operands. Within C++ there is only one trinary operator, the conditional. All of the unary operators are on the left side of the operand, except postx increment and postx decrement. Some precedence charts indicate of which operators are unary and trinary and thus all others are binary.
3.5 Assignment Operator6

3.5.1 Discussion
The assignment operator allows us to change the value of a modiable data object (for beginning programmers this typically means a variable). It is associated with the concept of moving a value into the storage location (again usually a variable). Within C++ programming language the symbol used is the equal symbol. But bite your tongue, when you see the = symbol you need to start thinking: The one to the right of the operator is a value. assignment. The assignment operator has two operands. The one to the left of the operator is usually an identier name for a variable.
51
Example 3.2: Simple Assignment
int age; // variable set up then later in the program age = 21;
The value 21 is moved to the memory location for the variable named: age. Another way to say it: age is assigned the value 21.
Example 3.3: Assignment with an Expression
int total_cousins; // variable set up then later in the program total_cousins = 4 + 3 + 5 + 2;

The item to the right of the assignment operator is an expression. The expression will be evaluated and the answer is 14. The value 14 would assigned to the variable named: total_cousins.
Example 3.4: Assignment with Identier Names in the Expression
int students_period_1 = 25; // variable set up with initialization int students_period_2 = 19; int total_students; then later in the program total_students = students_period_1 + students_period_2;
The expression to the right of the assignment operator contains some identier names. The program would fetch the values stored in those variables; add them together and get a value of 44; then assign the 44 to the total_students variable.
3.5.2 Denitions
Denition 3.16: assignment
An operator that changes the value of a modiable data object.
3.6 Arithmetic Operators7

An operator performs an action on one or more operands. The common arithmetic operators are:

Action
Addition Subtraction Multiplication Division Modulus (associated with integers)

These arithmetic operators are binary that is they have two operands. constants or variables.
The operands may be either
age + 1
This expression consists of one operator (addition) which has two operands. The rst is represented by a variable named age and the second is a literal constant. If age had a value of 14 then the expression would evaluate (or be equal to) 15. These operators work as you have learned them throughout your life with the exception of division and modulus. We normally think of division as resulting in an answer that might have a fractional part (a oating-point data type). However, division when both operands are of the integer data type act dierently. Please refer to the supplemental materials on "Integer Division and Modulus".
3.7 Data Type Conversions8

3.7.1 Overview
Changing a data type of a value is referred to as "type conversion". 1. 2. There are two ways to do this:
Implicit the change is implied Explicit the change is explicitly done with the cast operator
The value being changed may be: 1. 2.
Promotion going from a smaller domain to a larger domain Demotion going from a larger domain to a smaller domain
3.7.2 Implicit Type Conversion

Automatic conversion of a value from one data type to another by a programming language, without the programmer specically doing so, is called implicit type conversion. It happens when ever a binary operator has two operands of dierent data types. Depending on the operator, one of the operands is going to be converted to the data type of the other. It could be promoted or demoted depending on the operator.
Example 3.5: Implicit Promotion
55 + 1.75
53
In this example the integer value 55 is converted to a oating-point value (most likely double) of 55.0. It was promoted.
Example 3.6: Implicit Demotion
int money; // variable set up then later in the program money = 23.16;
In this example the variable money is an integer. We are trying to move a oating-point value 23.16 into an integer storage location. This is demotion and the oating-point value usually gets truncated to 23.
3.7.3 Promotion
Promotion is never a problem because the lower data type (smaller range of allowable values) is sub set of the higher data type (larger range of allowable values). to another. Promotion often occurs with three of the standard data types: character, integer and oating-point. The allowable values (or domains) progress from one type That is the character data type values are a sub set of integer values and integer values are a sub Even set of oating-point values; and within the oating-point values: oat values are a sub set of double. $, comma, etc.) their bit pattern also represent integer values from 0 to 255. promote them up the chain from character to integer to oat to double.

If I calculate the number of cans of soup to buy based on the number of people I am serving (say 8) and the servings per can (say 2.3), I would need 18.4 cans. I might want to demote the 18.4 into an integer. It would truncate the 18.4 into 18 and because the value 18 is within the domain of an integer data type, it should demote with the I might have a get an How do How do you t the oating-point value of 45656.453 into an integer value?

3.7.5 Explicit Type Conversion

Most languages have a method for the programmer to change or cast a value from one data type to another; called
explicit type conversion.
Within C++ the cast operator is a unary operator; it only has one
operand and the operand is to the right of the operator. The operator is a set of parentheses surrounding the new data type.
Example 3.7: Explicit Demotion with Truncation
(int) 4.234
This expression would evaluate to: 4.

4. Often Used Data Types

4.1 Integer Data Type1
The integer data type has two meanings:
The integer data type with its various modiers that create dierent domains The integer family which also includes the Boolean and character data types The integer values jump
The integer data type basically represents whole numbers (no fractional parts). from one value to another. There is nothing between 6 and 7.
It could be asked why not make all your
numbers oating point which allow for fractional parts. The reason is twofold. First, some things in the real world are not fractional. A dog, even with only 3 legs, is still one (1) dog not one value to another. The integer data type has the same attributes and acts or behaves similarly in all programming languages. The most often used integer data type in C++ is the simple integer.

Table 4.1
Within C++ there are various reserved words that can be used to modify the size or signage of an integer. They include: long, short, signed and unsigned. Signed is rarely used because integers are signed by default you must specify unsigned if you want integers that are only positive. Possible combinations are:

Signage signed unsigned signed unsigned singed unsigned
The domain of each of the above data type options varies with the complier being used and the computer. The domains vary because the byte size allocated to the data varies with the compiler and computer. This eect is known as being
machine dependent.
Additionally, there have been some size changes with
upgrades to the language. In "C" the int data type was allocated 2 bytes of memory storage on an Intel compatible central processing unit (cpu) machine. In "C++" an int is allocated 4 bytes. These variations of the integer data type are an annoyance in C++ for a beginning programmer. For a beginning programmer it is more important to understand the general attributes of the integer data type that apply to most programming languages.
4.1.2 Denitions
Denition 4.1: machine dependent
An attribute of a programming language that changes depending on the computer's CPU.
4.2 Floating-Point Data Type2

The oating-point data type is a family of data types that act alike and dier only in the size of their domains (the allowable values). The oating-point family of data types represent number values with fractional parts. They are technically stored as two integer values: a
mantissa and an exponent. The oating-point family
has the same attributes and acts or behaves similarly in all programming languages. They can always store negative or positive values thus they always are signed; unlike the integer data type that could be unsigned. The small numbers. Rather than talk about the actual values, we mention the storage the larger the mantissa and exponent, thus more precision. The most often used oating-point family data type used in C++ is the
domain for oating-point data types varies because they could represent very large numbers or very precision. The more bytes of double. By default, most
compilers convert oating-point constants into the double data type for use in calculations. The double data type will store just about any number most beginning programmers will ever encounter.

4.3 String Data Type3

Technically, there is no string data type in the C++ programming language. Many data items are not integers or oating-point values. The message datum). However, the concept of a string data type makes it easy to handle strings of character data. A single character has some limitations.
Hi Mom! is a good example of a
string. Thus, the need to handle a series of characters as a single piece of data (in English correctly called a
62

In the "C" programming language all string were handled as an array of characters that end in an ASCII
null character (the value 0 or the rst character in the ASCII character code set). Associated with object oriented programming the string class has been added to C++ as a standard part of the programming language. This changed with the implementation with strings being stored as a length controlled item with a maximum length of 255 characters. Included in the C++ string class is the reserved word of it were a data type. Some basics about strings include:
string as if
C++ Reserved Word Represent Size Normal Signage Domain (Values Allowed) C++ syntax rule
string Series of characters (technically an array) Varies in length N/A Extended ASCII Character Code Set Double quote marks for constants
Table 4.5
For now, we will address only the use of strings as constants. Most modern compliers that are part of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) will color the source code to help the programmer see dierent features more readily. Beginning programmers will use string constants to send messages to the monitor. A typical line of C++ code:
cout
"Hi Mom!";
would have the "Hi Mom" colored (usually red) to emphasize that the item is a string.

4.4 Arithmetic Assignment Operators4

4.4.1 Overview of Arithmetic Assignment
The ve
arithmetic assignment operators are a form of short hand. Various textbooks call them "com-
pound assignment operators" or "combined assignment operators". Their usage can be explaned in terms of the assignment operator and the arithmetic operators. In the table we will use the variable age and you can assume that it is of integer data type.
Arithmetic assignment examples:
Equivalent code:
age += 14; age -= 14;
age = age + 14; age = age - 14;

continued on next page
63
age *= 14; age /= 14; age %= 14;
age = age * 14; age = age / 14; age = age % 14;

4.5 Lvalue and Rvalue6

4.5.1 Discussion
They refer to on the left and right side of the assignment operator. usually a variable. The
Lvalue (pronounced: L value)
concept refers to the requirement that the operand on the left side of the assignment operator is modiable,
Rvalue concept pulls or fetches the value of the expression or operand on the right side
of the assignment operator. Some examples:
Example 4.1
int age; // variable set up then later in the program age = 39;
The value 39 is pulled or fetched (Rvalue) and stored into the variable named age (Lvalue); destroying the value previously stored in that variable.
Example 4.2
5 See the le at <http://cnx.org/content/m18743/latest/Demo_Arithmetic_Assignment.cpp> 6 This content is available online at <http://cnx.org/content/m18058/1.12/>.
64
int age; // variable set up int voting_age = 18; // variable set up with initialization then later in the program age = voting_age;
If the expression has a variable or named constant on the right side of the assignment operator, it would pull or fetch the value stored in the variable or constant. The value 18 is pulled or fetched from the variable named voting_age and stored into the variable named age.
Example 4.3
age < 17;

If the expression is a
test expression or Boolean expression, the concept is still an Rvalue one. The
value in the identier named age is pulled or fetched and used in the relational comparison of less than.
Example 4.4
const int JACK_BENNYS_AGE = 39; then later in the program JACK_BENNYS_AGE = 65;
// constant set up
This is illegal because the identier JACK_BENNYS_AGE does not have Lvalue properties. It is not a modiable data object, because it is a constant. Some uses of the Lvalue and Rvalue can be confusing.
Example 4.5
int oldest = 55; // variable set up with initialization then later in the program age = oldest++;
Postx increment says to use my existing value then when you are done with the other operators; increment me. Thus, the rst use of the oldest variable is an Rvalue context where the existing value of 55 is pulled or fetched and then assigned to the variable age; an Lvalue context. The second use of the oldest variable is an Lvalue context where in the value of oldest is incremented from 55 to 56.
4.5.2 Denitions
Denition 4.6: Lvalue
The requirement that the operand on the left side of the assignment operator is modiable, usually a variable.
Denition 4.7: Rvalue

4.6 Integer Division and Modulus7

4.6.1 Overview of Integer Division and Modulus
By the time we reach adulthood, we normally think of division as resulting in an answer that might have a fractional part (a oating-point data type). This type of division is known as is called:
oating-point division.
However, division when both operands are of the integer data type acts dierently on most computers and
integer division. Within the C++ programming language the following expression does not give
the answer of 2.75 or 2
Example 4.6
11 / 4
Because both operands are of the integer data type the evaluation of the expression (or answer) would be 2 with no fractional part (it gets thrown away). Again, this type of division is call what you learned in grade school the rst time you learned about division.
integer division and it is
Denition 4.8: integer division

Division with no fractional parts.
Figure 4.1:
Integer division as learned in grade school.
In the real world of data manipulation there are some things that are always handled in whole units or numbers (integer data type).
Fractions just don't exist.

coins to distribute equally to my 4 children.
How many do they each get? The answer is not 2

living things like puppy dogs. After you divide them up with an axe, most children will not want the dog. What is
modulus? It's the other part of the answer for integer division. It's the remainder. Remember
in grade school you would say, "Eleven divided by four is two remainder three." In C++ programming language the symbol for the modulus operator is the percent sign (%).
Example 4.7
11 % 4
Thus, the answer or value of this expression is 3 or the remainder part of integer division.
Denition 4.9: modulus

The remainder part of integer division. Many compilers require that you have integer operands on both sides of the modulus operator or you will get a compiler error. In other words, it does not make sense to use the modulus operator with oating-point operands. Don't let the following items confuse you.
Example 4.8
6 / 24 which is different from 6 % 24
How many times can you divide 24 into 6? Six divied by 24 is zero. This is dierent from: What is the remainder of 6 divided by 24? Six, the remainder part given by modulus.
Exercise 4.6.1 Evaluate the following division expressions:

1. 14 / 4 2. 5 / 13 3. 7 / 2.0
Exercise 4.6.2 Evaluate the following modulus expressions:

1. 14 % 4 2. 5 % 13 3. 7 % 2.0

5.1.1 IDE Overview
High-level language programs are usually written (coded) as ASCII text into a source code le. A unique le extension (Examples: .asm .cob .for .pas .c .cpp) is used to identify it as a source code le. As you can guess for our examples Assembly, COBOL, FORTRAN, Pascal, "C" and "C++" however, they are just ASCII text les (other text les usually use the extension of .txt). The source code produced by the programmer must be converted to an executable machine code le specically for the computer's CPU (usually an Intel or Intel compatible CPU within today's world of micro computers). There are several steps in getting a program from its source code stage to running the program on your computer. Historically, we had to use several software programs (a text editor, a compiler, a linker and operating system commands) to make the conversion and run our program. However, today all those software programs with their associated tasks
integrated into one program usually called a compiler. However, this one compiler program is environment used by programmers to develop software. Thus the name: Integrated Development Environment or IDE.

CHAPTER 5. 5. INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT
Figure 5.1:
Integrated Development Environment or IDE
Upon starting the IDE software the programmer usually indicates he wants to open a le for editing as source code. As they make changes they might either do a "save as" or "save". When they have nished entering the source code, they usually direct the IDE to "compile & run" the program. The IDE does the following steps: 1. If there are any unsaved changes to the source code le it has the 2. The
test editor save the changes. compiler opens the source code le and does its rst step which is executing the pre-processor
compiler directives and other steps needed to get the le ready for the second step. The #include will insert header les into the code at this point. If it encounters an error, it stops the process and returns the user to the source code le within the text editor with an error message. If no problems encountered it saves the source code to a temporary le called a translation unit. 3. The
compiler opens the translation unit le and does its second step which is converting the
programming language code to machine instructions for the CPU, a data area and a list of items to be resolved by the linker. Any problems encounted (usually a syntax or violation of the programming language rules) stops the process and returns the user to the source code le within the text editor with an error message. If no problems encountered it saves the machine instructions, data area and linker resolution list as an object le.
73
4. The
linker opens the program object le and links it with the library object les as needed. Unless all
linker items are resolved, the process stops and returns the user to the source code le within the text editor with an error message. If no problems encountered it saves the linked objects as an executable le. 5. The IDE directs the operating system's program called the
loader to load the executable le into the
computer's memory and have the Central Processing Unit (CPU) start processing the instructions. As the user interacts with the program, entering his test data, he might discover that the outputs are not correct. These types of errors are called logic errors and would require him to return to the source code to change the algorithm.
5.1.2 Resolving Errors

not be a problem to worry about. For example: Data type demotion may be exactly what you want your program to do, but most compilers give a warning message. Warnings don't stop the compiling process but as their name implies, they should be reviewed. The next three gures show IDE monitor interaction for the

Figure 5.5:
CPU Memory Input/Output Devices
Our program now located in the memory has basically two areas:
Machine instructions our instructions for what we want done Data storage our variables that we using in our program
Often our program contains instructions to interact with the input/output devices. We need to move data into (read) and/or out of (write) the memory data area. A
device is a piece of equipment that is electronically
connected to the memory so that data can be transferred between the memory and the device. Historically this was done with punched cards and printouts. Tape drives were used for electronic storage. With time we migrated to using disk drives for storage with keyboards and monitors (with monitor output called soft copy) replacing punch cards and printouts (called hard copy). Most computer operating systems and by extension programming languages have identied the keyboard as the
standard input device and the monitor as the standard output device. Often the keyboard and
monitor are treated as the default device when no other specic device is indicated.
79
5.2.2 Standard I/O within C++

The developers of the C++ programming language decided to provide some of the more technical code needed to interact with the operating system and the I/O devices. In the following example the include directive inserts a le that contains code from the to use
#include <iostream>
Input-Output Stream library. This le contains necessary code cout and cin for sending data to the monitor or getting data from the keyboard. cout and cin as being locations that you can send to or receive data from; similar in
You should think of
concept to any other variable storage location within the data area of our program. The C++ programming language has two operators to use in conjunction with I/O devices.
Action insertion operator (write) extraction operator (read)
C ++ operator symbol (a pair of less than symbols) (a pair of greater than symbols)
Table 5.1
Used with cout cin
Consider the following code:
Example 5.1: Insertion and Extraction
int age1; // variable set up then later on in our program cout "\nEnter the age of the first person --->: "; cin age1;
Using the
see. Using the
cout the programmer displays (or inserts) a prompting message on the monitor for the user to cin the user types an integer value and hits the enter key and the computer extracts the value
from the keyboard and stores it into the variable named age1. Within the computer all data are stored as numbers and thus part of the technical code provided by the developers of the C++ programming language that is within the
Input-Output Stream library converts data from numbers to those symbols we are used
to seeing as humans and vice versa. Example: If the user entered the numeral digits 57 and hit the enter key the extraction operator would convert the 57 into a binary number and move the binary number into the integer storage place named age1. The
cout which uses the standard output device does not format the output into a Graphical User
Interface (GUI) where you have a mouse to use. A modern operating system using GUI normally opens a 1960's. That is the default of how
black screen output box that would be similar to how the monitor was used when rst developed in the cout is normally implemented by most compilers.
The output message has a unique item worth mentioning. At the very front of the message is a backslash
followed by the letter n. They do not get printed on the monitor. It is a special code (called a printer
escape code) telling the printer to go to a new line. Printer! I thought we were using a monitor? We are but the
code is a left over from the early days of printer output. The backslash tells the printer or monitor that the next letter is a command. The letter n is used for telling the printer or monitor to go to the front of a new line.
5.2.3 Denitions
Denition 5.8: device
A piece of equipment that is electronically connected to the memory so that data can be transferred between the memory and the device.
80

Denition 5.9: standard input
The keyboard.
Denition 5.10: standard output

The monitor.
Denition 5.11: insertion

Aka writing or sending data to an output device.
Denition 5.12: extraction

Aka reading or getting data from an input device.
Denition 5.13: escape code

A code directing an output device to do something.
5.3 Compiler Directives7

A
compiler directive is an instruction to the compiler to complete a task before formally starting to compile
the program, thus they are sometimes called pre-processor directives. Among other items, during the preprocessor step the compiler is looking for compiler directives and processes them as they are encountered. After completing the tasks as directed, the compiler proceeds to its second step where it checks for syntax errors (violations of the rules of the language) and converts the source code into an object code that contains machine language instructions, a data area, and a list of items to be resolved when he object le is linked to other object les. Within C++ the pound symbol or # as the rst character of a line indicates that the next word is a directive (or command word) to be evaluated. The two most common compiler directives are: 1.
include with the item following include being the name of a le that is to be inserted at that place
in the le. The les are often called "Header Files" because the include directive is normally inserted toward the top of the le (at the head) as one of the rst items.
2.
dene with the item followed by an identier name and a value. This identier name and value is
stored by the compiler and when it encounters the identier name in the program it substitutes the value for the identier name.
In the following example the include directive is inserting a le that contains code from the getting data from the keyboard.
Input-Output Stream library. This le contains necessary code to use cout and cin for sending data to the monitor or
#include <iostream>
In the next example the dene directive is being used to handle a constant (called a dened constant).
Example 5.2: Subtituting PI
#define PI 3.14159 ....Later on in the program when it encounters PI ....it will replace or substitute PI with the value 3.14159 ....For example: area_circle = radius * radius * PI; would become: area_circle = radius * radius * 3.14159;
81
Of note, compiler directives in C++ do not have a semi-colon after them. instructions or statements end with a semi-colon, but not compiler directives.
Within C++ programming
5.3.2 Denitions

6.2 Hierarchy or Structure Chart2

6.2.1 Overview
The
hierarchy chart (also known as a structure chart) shows the relationship of various units.
Its
name comes from its general use in showing the organization (or structure) of a business. The President at the top, then vice presidents on the next level, etc. Within the context of a computer program it shows the relationship between modules (or functions). Detail logic of the program is not presented. It does represent the organization of the functions used within the program showing which functions are calling on a subordinate function. Those above are calling those on the next level down. Hierarchy charts are created by the programmer to help document a program. picture of the modules (or functions) used in a program. They convey the big

Another name for a hierarchy chart.
6.3 Program Control Functions3

6.3.1 Prerequisite Material
Critical to this module is the review of several Connexions modules: 1. m_18861 Titled: Modularization and C++ Program Layout
90

2. m_19136 Titled: Pseudocode Examples for Functions 3. m_18682 Titled: Hierarchy or Structure Chart
You should review these materials before proceeding. If you are viewing this module on-line, links to these items are in the "Links" box to your right.
6.3.2 Concept of Modularization

The concept is everywhere present in the real world about us. Simply put it is to
take a large complicated problem and to divide it into smaller manageable pieces. The hierarchy chart of any large
organization (government unit, company, university, hospital, etc.) will show levels of people with job titles that indicate a dierent area of responsibility. Each person is a small piece of the overall workings of the organization. Each person can concentrate on their unique talent or task to make sure it works properly. Collectively they accomplish the goals of the organization. Additionally, the concept has been around for a long time. A village of 300 years ago had farmers, tailors, butchers, blacksmiths, etc. Manufacturing is a prime example of not just work being modularized but the product itself is viewed in terms of modules or systems (Example of a automobile: engine, steering, brakes, etc.). The world of computers, both hardware (equipment) and software (computer programs), also uses this modular concept. Thus, the concept migrates to a single computer program; allowing us to modularize the program into manageable tasks called functions.
6.3.3 Program Control Functions

common area for variable storage. The rules for how data is communicated in and out of a function vary greatly by
Program Control functions normally to do not communicate information to each other but use a programming language, but the concept is the same. The data items passed (or communicated) are called parameters. Thus the wording: the data communication option of
parameter passing. However, with program control functions we use no communication in with no communication out. Our data
variables and constants are placed in a common area available to all functions (called global scope). The identier names for program control functions usually imply a task to be accomplished, such as get-data, process-data or show-results. As you learn to write more complicated programs the number of lines of code will increase. Prudence dictates that it would be benecial to divide the program into functions that perform unique tasks. The larger the program the more need for modularization or creating of program control functions. Depending on the programming language, there is a formal way to: 1. dene a function (it's 2.
denition or the code it will execute))
call a function prototype is a declaration to a complier)
3. declare a function (a
One of the easier ways to understand program control function is to view an example. Even if you don't know the C++ programming language, you can study the materials to help understand the modularization process.

6.3.4.3 Study the Materials Collectively to Understand Modularization

The four items represent a progression from no modularization to modularization: 1. Program code before it is modularized 2. Modularized pseudocode and a hierarchy chart for the program 3. Program code that has been modularized The simplicity of the program should not be considered during this review. It is obvious that the program does not need modularization. The example is to show or demonstrate how to modularize a program for program control.
6.3.5 Denitions
Denition 6.4: common area
An area of the program where variables and constants are dened so that they are available to all functions.
6.4 Void Data Type8

The
void data type has no values and no operations. It's a data type that represents the lack of a data
type.

This data type was added in the transition from "C" to "C++". In "C" by default a function returned an
integer data type. Some functions don't return a value of any kind. Thus, the need to have a data type that indicates
nothing is being returned. The void data type is mainly used in the denition and prototyping of
functions to indicate that either nothing is being passed in and/or nothing is being passed out.
6.4.2 Denitions
Denition 6.5: void data type
A data type that has no values or operators and is used to represent nothing.
6.5 Documentation and Making Source Code Readable9

We are going to consider a simple program that might be used for testing a compiler to make sure that it is installed correctly.
Example 6.4: Compiler_Test.cpp source code
//****************************************************** // Filename: Compiler_Test.cpp // Purpose: Average the ages of two people // Author: Ken Busbee; Kenneth Leroy Busbee // Date: Jan 5, 2009 // Comment: Main idea is to be able to // debug and run a program on your compiler. //****************************************************** // Headers and Other Technical Items #include <iostream> using namespace std; // Function Prototypes void pause(void); // Variables int int double age1; age2; answer;
//****************************************************** // main //****************************************************** int main(void)

93
{ // Input cout "\nEnter the age of the first person --->: "; cin age1; cout "\nEnter the age of the second person -->: "; cin age2; // Process answer = (age1 + age2) / 2.0; // Output cout "\nThe average of their ages is -------->: "; cout answer; pause(); return 0; } //****************************************************** // pause //****************************************************** void pause(void) { cout "\n\n"; system("PAUSE"); cout "\n\n"; return; } //****************************************************** // End of Program //******************************************************
Within the programming industry there is a desire to make software programs easy to maintain. The desire centers in money. Simply put, it costs less money to maintain a well written program. One important aspect of program maintenance is making source code listings clear and as easy to read as possible. To that end we will consider the following: 1. Documentation 2. Vertical Alignment 3. Appropriate use of Comments 4. Banners for Functions 5. Block Markers on Lines by Themselves 6. Indent Block Markers 7. Meaningful Identier Names Consistently Typed 8. Appropriate use of Typedef The above items are not needed in order for the source code to compile. Technically the compiler does not read the source code the way humans read the source code. But that is exactly the point; the desire is to make the source code easier for humans to read. You should not be confused between what is possible (technically will compile) and what is ok (acceptable good programming practice that leads to readable code). Let's cover each item in more detail.
94

The amount of
6.5.1.1 Documentation
Documentation is usually placed at the top of the program using several comment lines. or independent contractors to write the code. Notice the indication of revision dates.
information would vary based on the requirements or standards of the company who is paying its employees
6.5.1.2 Vertical Alignment

You see this within the documentation area. All of the items are aligned up within the same column. This vertical alignment occurs again when the variables are dened. When declaring variable or constants many textbooks put several items on one line; like this:
Example 6.5: Common Textbook Dening of Variables
float length, width, height, price_gal_paint, total_area, total_cost; int coverage_gal_paint, total_gal_paint;
However common this is in textbooks, it would generally not be acceptable to standards used in most companies. You should declare each item on its own line; like this:
Example 6.6: Proper Dening of Variables with Vertical Alignment
float float float float int float int float
length; width; height; price_gal_paint; coverage_gal_paint; total_area; total_gal_paint; total_cost;
This method of using one item per line is more readable by humans. It is quicker to nd an identier name, because you can read the list vertically faster than searching horizontally. Some programmers list them in alphabetic order, especially when the number of variables exceeds about twenty. The lines of code inside either function are also aligned vertically and indented two spaces from the left. The indentation helps set the block o visually.
6.5.1.3 Appropriate use of Comments

You can see through the source code short little comments that describe an area or section. Note the use of input, processing and output which are part of the IPO concept within the program design.
6.5.1.4 Banners for Functions

Note the use of comments in the form of a banner before each function.
Example 6.7: Comments as a Banner
95
//****************************************************** // main //******************************************************

The function name is placed with two lines of asterisks. It makes it extremely easy to nd each function denition because you don't have to read the functions to see where the one ends and the next one begins. You can quickly read the function names within the banners.
6.5.1.5 Block Markers on Lines by Themselves

Within many languages there is a method to identify a group of programming statements as a unit. With C++ the functions use a set of symbols, the braces {}, to identify a block of code, sometimes referred to as a compound statement. Braces are used in other aspects of programs, but for now we will look at this simple example. These braces have a tendency to cause problems, especially when they don't have a proper opening brace associated with a proper closing brace. To solve that problem many programmers simply put a brace on a line by itself and make sure the opening brace and closing brace are in the same vertical column.
6.5.1.6 Indent Block Markers

A block of code associated with a function or with a control structure is indented two or three spaces. When blocks of code are nested each nesting is indented two or three spaces. In our example above the blocks of code for the function denitions are indented two spaces.
6.5.1.7 Meaningful Identier Names Consistently Typed

As the name implies "identier names" should clearly identify who (or what) you are talking about. Calling you spouse "Snooky" may be meaningful to only you. true. Others might need to see her full name (Jane The same concept in programming is Mary Smith) to appropriately identify who you are talking about.
Variables, constants, functions, typedefs and other items should use meaningful identier names.
Additionally, those names should be typed consistently in terms of upper and lower case as they are used in the program. Don't dene a variable as: Pig and then type it later on in your program as: pig.
6.5.1.8 Appropriate use of Typedef

Many programming languages have a command that allows for the creation of an identier name that represents a data type. The new identier name is described or connected to a real data type. This feature is not demonstrated in the code above and is often a confusing concept. It is a powerful way to help document a program so that it is meaningful, but is often used by more experienced programmers.
6.5.2 Denitions
Denition 6.6: documentation
A method of preserving information useful to others in understanding an information system or part thereof.
Denition 6.7: vertical alignment

A method of listing items vertically so that they are easier to read quickly.
Denition 6.8: comments

Information inserted into a source code le for documentation of the program.
Denition 6.9: banners

A set of comment lines used to help separate the functions and other sections of a program.
96

Denition 6.10: braces
Denition 6.11: indention

A method used to make sections of source code more visible.
Denition 6.12: meaningful

A rule that says identier names must be easily understood by another reading the source code.
Denition 6.13: consistent

A rule that says to type identier names in upper and lower case consistently throughout your source code.
97
6.6 Practice 6: Program Control Functions10

With 100% accuracy during a: memory building activity, exercises, lab assignment, problems, or timed quiz/exam; the student is expected to: 1. Dene the terms on the denitions as listed in the modules associated with this chapter. 2. Given pseudocode, test data and source code of an existing program, modify the pseudocode and source code to create "program control" functions.

6.6.3 Exercises
1. Pseudocode has a strict set of rules and is the same everywhere in the computer programming industry. 2. Hierarchy Charts and Structure Charts are basically the same thing. 3. Program Control functions are used to simply sub divide and control the program. 4. The void data type is rarely used in C++. 5. Making source code readable is only used by beginning programmers.

7.1 Specic Task Functions1
7.1.1 Prerequisite Material
Critical to this module is the review of two Connexions modules: 1. m_18861 Titled: Modularization and C++ Program Layout 2. m_19145 Titled: Program Control Functions You should review these materials before proceeding. If you are viewing this module on-line, links to these items are in the "Links" box to your right.
7.1.2 General Concept

Program Control functions which might have similar identier names usually perform slightly dierent tasks in one program to another. Looking at the organizational chart or hierarchy chart for two companies, both might have a vice president of production, but producing automobiles is dierent than producing ice cream. Similar but dierent. As you go down deeper into an organization you might nd the job title of security guard. Notice that the security guard at the automobile plant and the security guard at the ice cream plant have exactly the same job. In fact, they are most likely interchangeable. Within programming when a task gets specic it might be useable in several programs. The calculation of leap year is a good example. Needed for the verication of dates, is there or is there not a 29 programs.
th of February for this year. Needed in thousands of
7.1.3 Specic Task Functions

To create good Specic Task functions you need to do all communication needed via parameter passing. Thus all programs that will use the function will communicate in precisely the same way. In our leap year example, you would communicate into the function the year and the function would return the communication of true or false; meaning it is a leap year and there is a 29
th of February (true) or it is not a leap year (false).
The ability to modularize our program into specic task functions means that we can write the specic task function once making sure it works correctly, then reuse it over and over in many programs. As you can guess there is a balance. Most programs will have some program control functions and some specic task functions. The key to deciding if the function should be a specic task function is usually rooted in the uniqueness of the task so that it can be used in many programs. Specic task functions once created are usually placed into a
user dened library then shared with others for use in many programs.

7.2 Global vs Local Data Storage2

The concept of global and local data storage is usually tied to the concept of scope. Scope is the area of the program where an item (be it variable, constant, function, etc.) that has an identier name is recognized. In our discussion we will use a variable and the place within a program where the variable is dened determines its scope.
Global scope (and by extension global data storage) occurs when a variable is dened "outside of a
function". When compiling the program it creates the storage area for the variable within the program's
data area as part of the object code. The object code has a machine code piece, a data area and linker
resolution instructions. Because the variable has global scope it is available to all of the functions within your source code. It can even be made available to functions in other object modules that will be linked to your code; however we will forgo that explanation now. A key wording change should be learned at this
the point of denition to the end of the program source code. That is why most variable with global scope are placed near
point. Although the variable has global scope, technically it is available only from the top of the source code before any functions. This way they are available to all of the functions.
Local scope (and by extension local data storage) occurs when a variable is dened "inside of a function".
When compiling, the compiler creates machine instructions that will direct the creation of storage locations on an area known as the
stack which is part of the computer's memory. These memory locations

Thus
exist until the function completes its task and returns to its calling function. In assembly language we talk about items being pushed onto the stack and popped o the stack when the function terminates. Although the variable has local scope, technically it is available only from the, stack is a reusable area of memory being used by all functions and released as functions terminate.
the point of denition to the end of the function. The parameter passing of data items into a function establishes them as local
variables. Additionally, any other variables or constants needed by the function usually occur near the top of the function denition so that they are available during the entire execution of the function's code. Scope is an important concept to modularization. for variables and constants placing them near the top of the program before any functions.
Program Control functions usually use global scope Specic Task
functions use only local scope variables by passing data as needed into the function with parameter passing and creating local variables and constants as needed. Any information that needs to be communicated back to the calling function is again done via parameter passing. is used in object oriented programming.

7.3 Using a Header File for User Dened Specic Task Functions3
7.3.1 Concept: User Dened Specic Task Functions
Most companies have certain tasks that are unique to their company. Collectively the programming sta may decide to build several functions and organize them into one or more user libraries. Specic task functions are often built using a testing shell program. The sole purpose of the testing shell program is to create the specic task functions and to test them to insure that they are working properly. Think of a clam, its shell surrounds the important part, the pearl. A testing shell program surrounds the specic task function (the important part). Usually the testing shell program will be used to create several functions that will be placed into a user dened library. The process ows as follows: 1. The

A good way to understand the concept is to review the four les described above that have been created by a programmer. We will be using the C++ programming language, however the code is easy to understand and will serve our needs well at explaining the concepts; even if you are not familiar with C++.

Take a few moments to review the les in conjunction with the concept discussion above. You should compile and run the
Monitor_Testing_Shell.cpp program.
7.3.2.4 Creating a Folder or Sub-Folder for your User Library

Depending on your compiler/IDE, you should decide where to create a folder that will hold the header les you create. We suggest that you create the folder in conjunction with the compiler/IDE software. If
Bloodshed Dev-C++ 5 compiler/IDE you most likely installed the compiler/IDE C:\Dev-Cpp\ if you installed it on your machine or at: DriveLetter:\Dev-Cpp\ (where the DriveLetter is the drive that represents your ash drive) if you installed it on a ash drive. We suggest
you were using the software at: that you create a sub-folder at that location named:
user_library
The path of:
C:\Dev-Cpp\user_library would be created as the location for your user library if using
your machine installation. You can literally place it anywhere and name the library any name, but once you decide on a place and name; you do not want to move or rename the folders.

Because this item is technically a string within C++, we must use two back slashes between the drive, path(s) and lename. This is because the rst back slash assumes that the next character is an escape code and if we really don't want an escape code but a back slash, the second back slash says no I wanted a back slash.This string: "C:\\Dev-Cpp\\user_library\\udst_monitor.h" will be interpreted to mean: This identies to the complier that we are specifying the exact le we want.

Just like functions that we create, we see them in the following order in our source code listing: 1. declaring the function (prototype provided in the include le) 2. call the function (with parameter passing of values) 3. dene the function (it is either dened in the header le or the linker program provides the actual object code from a Standard Library object area)
115
116
CHAPTER 8. 8. STANDARD LIBRARIES
In most cases, the user can look at the prototype and understand exactly how the communications (parameter passing) into and out of the function will occur when the function is called. Let's look at the math example of absolute value. The prototype is:
int abs(int number);
Not wanting to have a long function name the designers named it:
abs instead of "absolute". This might
seem to violate the identier naming rule of using meaningful names, however when identier names are established for standard libraries they are often shortened to a name that is easily understood by all who would be using them. value. The function is of data type int, meaning that the function will return an integer It is obvious that the integer value returned is the answer to the question, "What is the absolute
value of the integer that is being passed into the function". This function is passed only one value; an int number. If I had two integer variables named apple and banana; and I wanted to store the absolute value of banana into apple; then a line of code to call this function would be:
apple = abs(banana);
Let's say it in English, pass the function absolute the value stored in variable banana and assign the returning value from the function to the variable apple. Thus, if you know the prototype you can usually properly call the function and use its returning value (if it has one) without ever seeing the denition of the code (i.e. the source code that tells the function how to get the answer; that is written by someone else; and either included in the header le or compiled and placed into an object library; and linked during the linking step of the Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

9. Character Data, Sizeof, Typedef, Sequence

9.1 Character Data Type1
9.1.1 Overview of the Character Data Type
The
character data type basically represents individual or single characters. Characters comprise a variety
of symbols such as the alphabet (both upper and lower case) the numeral digits (0 to 9), punctuation, etc. All computers store character data in a one byte eld as an integer value. Because a byte consists of 8 bits, this one byte eld has 28 or 256 possibilities using the positive values of 0 to 255. Most microcomputers use the
ASCII (stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange
and is pronounced "ask-key") Character Set which has established values for 0 to 127. For the values of 128 to 255 they usually use the Extended ASCII Character Set. When we hit the capital A on the keyboard, the keyboard sends a byte with the bit pattern equal to an integer 65. When the byte is sent from the memory to the monitor, the monitor converts the integer value of 65 to into the symbol of the capital A to display on the monitor. The character data type attributes include:
C++ Reserved Word Represent Size Normal Signage Domain (Values Allowed)
char Single characters 1 byte Unsigned (positive values only) Values from 0 to 127 as shown in the standard ASCII Character Set, plus values 128 to 255 from the Extended ASCII Character Set

9.2.1 Overview
Every data item, constants and variables, not only have a data type, but the data type determines how many bytes the item will use in the memory of the computer. The size of each data type varies with the complier being used and the computer. This eect is known as being
machine dependent. Additionally, there have
been some size changes with upgrades to the language. In "C" the int data type was allocated 2 bytes of memory storage on an Intel compatible central processing unit (cpu) machine. In "C++" an int is allocated 4 bytes. There is an operator named "sizeof (. . . )" that is a unary operator, that is it has only one operand. The operand is to the right of the operator and is placed within the parentheses if it is a data type. The operand may be any data type (including those created by typedef ). If an identier name it does not need to go inside of the parentheses. It works for both variable and memory constant identier names. This operator is unique in that it does its calculation at compile time for global scoped items and at run time for local scoped items. Examples:

cout
to:
"The size of an integer is:
"
sizeof (int);
The compiler would determine the byte size of an integer on the specic machine and in essence replaces the sizeof operator with a value. Integers are usually 4 bytes long, thus the line of code would be changed
cout
"The size of an integer is:
"
4;
If you place an identier name that represents a data storage area (variable or memory constant), it looks at the denition for the identier name. NOTE: the parentheses are not needed and often not included for an identier name.
Example 9.1: sizeof with a Variable
double money; // variable set up with initialization then later on in the program cout "The size of money is: " sizeof money;
The compiler would determine the byte size of money by looking at the denition where it indicates that the data type is double. The double data type on the specic machine (usually 8 bytes) would replace the code and it would become:
cout
"The size of money is:
"
8;
9.2.2 Denitions
Denition 9.4: sizeof
An operator that tells you how many bytes a data type occupies in storage.
9.3 Typedef - An Alias4

The typedef statement allows the programmer to create an alias, or synonym, for an existing data type. This can be useful in documenting a program. The C++ programming language syntax is:
typedef <the real data type> <the alias identifier name>;
Let's say a programmer is using a double data type to store the amount of money that is being used for various purposes in a program. He might dene the variables as follows:
Example 9.2: Regular Denition of Variables
double double double
income; rent; vacation;
However, he might use the typedef statement and dene the variables as follows:
Example 9.3: Using typedef when Dening Variables

124
typedef double cash; the typedef must be defined before its use cash income; cash rent; cash vacation;
The typedef statement is not used very often by beginning programmers. It usually creates more confusion than needed, thus stick to using the normal data types at rst.
9.3.2 Denitions
Denition 9.5: typedef
Allows the programmer to create an alias, or synonym, for an existing data type.
9.4 Sequence Operator5

The
sequence (or comma) operator is used to separate items. It has several uses, four of which are listed
then demonstrated: 1. To separate identier names when declaring variables or constants 2. To separate several parameters being passed into a function 3. To separate several initialization items or update items in a for loop 4. Separate values during the inititalization of an array This rst example is often seen in textbooks, but this method of declaring variables is not preferred. It is dicult to quickly read the identier names.
int pig, dog, cat, rat;
The following vertical method of declaring variables or constants is preferred.
Example 9.4: Preferred Vertical Method of Dening Variables
int int int int
pig; dog; cat; rat;
The data types and identier names (known as parameters) are separated from each other. This example is a function prototype.
double area_trapezoid(double base, double height, double top);

In the syntax of a for loop you have three parts each separated by a semi-colon. The rst is the initial-
ization area which could have more than one initialization. The last is the update area which could have more than one update. Mutiple initializations or updates use the comma to separate them. This example is only the rst line of a for loop.
for(x = 1, y = 5; x < 15; x++, y++)

The variable ages is an array of integers. Initial values are assigned using block markers with the values
separated from each other using a comma.
int ages[] = {2,4,6,29,32};

An operator used to separate multiple occurrences of an item.

10. Introduction to Structured Programming

10.1 Structured Programming1
10.1.1 Introduction
One of the most important concepts of programming is the ability to control a program so that dierent lines of code are executed or that some lines of code are executed many times. The mechanisms that allow us to control the ow of execution are called structures:
control structures. Flowcharting is a method of documenting

There are four main categories of control
(charting) the ow (or paths) that a program would execute.
Sequence
Very boring. Simply do one instruction then the next and the next. Just do them in a
given sequence or in order listed. Most lines of code are this.
Selection
This is where you select or choose between two or more ows. The choice is decided by
asking some sort of question. The answer determines the path (or which lines of code) will be executed.
Iteration
Also known as repetition, it allows some code (one too many lines) to be executed (or
repeated) several times. The code might not be executed at all (repeat it zero times), executed a xed number of times or executed indenitely until some condition has been met. Also known as looping because the owcharting shows the ow looping back to repeat the task.
Branching
A control structure that allows the ow of execution to jump to a dierent part of the
program. This category is rarely used in modular structured programming. All high-level programming languages have control structures. All languages have the rst three categories of control structures (sequence, selection, and iteration). Most have the to the selection category) and the The concept of two basic structures there are usually language variations.
if then else structure (which belongs while structure (which belongs to the iteration category). After these
structured programming started in the late 1960's with an article by Edsger Dijkstra.
He proposed a "go to less" method of planning programming logic that eliminated the need for the branching category of control structures. The topic was debated for about 20 years. But ultimately "By the end of the 20th century nearly all computer scientists were convinced that it is useful to learn and apply the concepts of structured programming. "

CHAPTER 10. 10. INTRODUCTION TO STRUCTURED PROGRAMMING
10.1.1.1 Introduction to Selection Control Structures

The basic attribute of a selection control structure is to be able to select between two of more alternate paths. This is described as either
two-way selection or multiway selection. A question using Boolean
concepts usually controls which path is selected. All of the paths from a selection control structure join back up at the end of the control structure, before moving on to the next lines of code in a program. We have mentioned that the two-way selection.
if then else control structure belongs to the selection category and is a
Example 10.1: if then else control structure
if (age > 17) { out "You can vote."; } else { cout "You can't vote."; }
10.1.1.2 Introduction to Iteration Control Structures

The basic attribute of an iteration control structure is to be able to repeat some lines of code. The visual display of iteration creates a circular loop pattern when owcharted, thus the word "loop" is associated with iteration control structures. Iteration can be accomplished with test before loops, counting loops, and test after loops. A question using Boolean concepts usually controls how long the loop will execute. We have mentioned that the while control structure belongs to the iteration category and is a test before loop.
Example 10.2: while control structure
counter = 0; while (counter < 5) { cout "\nI love computers!"; counter ++; }
10.1.2 Denitions
Denition 10.1: control structures
Mechanisms that allow us to control the ow of execution within a program.
Denition 10.2: sequence

A control structure where you do the items in the sequence listed.
131
Denition 10.3: selection

A control structure where you select between two or more choices.
Denition 10.4: iteration

A control structure that allows some lines of code to be executed many times.
Denition 10.5: branching

A control structure that allows the ow of execution to jump to a dierent part of the program.
Denition 10.6: structured programming

A method of planning programs that avoids the branching category of control structures.
10.2 Pseudocode Examples for Control Structures3

10.2.1 Overview
No standard for pseudocode syntax exists. However, there are some commonly followed conventions to help make pseudocode written by one programmer easily understood by another programmer. conventions follow two concepts: Most of these
Use indentation to show the action part of a control structure Use an ending
phrase word to end a control structure
The sequence control structure simply lists the lines of pseudocode. The concern is not with the sequence category but with selection and two of the iteration control structures. The following are commonly used ending phrase-words:
Control Structure If then Else Case While For
Ending Phrase Word Endif Endcase Endwhile Endfor
Table 10.1
The
Do While and Repeat Until iteration control structures don't need an ending phrase-word. We
simply use the rst word, then the action part, followed by the second word with the test expression. Here are some examples:
10.2.2 Selection Control Structures

Example 10.3: pseudocode: If then Else
If age > 17 Display a message indicating you can vote. Else Display a message indicating you can't vote. Endif
132

Example 10.4: pseudocode: Case
Case of age 0 to 17 Display "You can't vote." 18 to 64 Display "Your in your working years." 65 + Display "You should be retired." Endcase
10.2.3 Iteration (Repetition) Control Structures

Example 10.5: pseudocode: While
count assigned zero While count < 5 Display "I love computers!" Increment count Endwhile
Example 10.6: pseudocode: For
For x starts at 0, x < 5, increment x Display "Are we having fun?" Endfor

Example 10.7: pseudocode: Do While
count assigned five Do Display "Blast off is soon!" Decrement count While count > zero

10.3.1.4 Connectors
Sometimes a owchart is broken into two or more smaller owcharts. This is usually done when a owchart does not t on a single page, or must be divided into sections. A connector symbol, which is a small circle
135
with a letter or number inside it, allows you to connect two owcharts on the same page. A connector symbol that looks like a pocket on a shirt, allows you to connect to a owchart on a dierent page. On-Page Connector

A program module is represented in a owchart by rectangle with some lines to distinguish it from process symbol. Often programmers will make a distinction between program control and specic task modules as shown below. Note: C++ equivalent is the function. Local module: usually a program control function.

11. Two Way Selection

11.1 If Then Else1
11.1.1 Introduction to Two Way Selection
11.1.1.1 Traditional Two Way Selection
We are going to introduce the control structure from the selection category that is available in every high level language. It is called the
if then else structure. Asking a question that has a true or false answer
controls the if then else structure. It looks like this:
if the answer to the question is true then do this else because it's false do this
In most languages the question (called a
test expression) is a Boolean expression. The Boolean data
type has two values true and false. Let's rewrite the structure to consider this:
if expression is true then do this else because it's fales do this

Some languages use reserved words of: "if", "then" and "else". Many eliminate the "then". Additionally the "do this" can be tied to true and false. You might see it as:
if expression is true action true else action false

And most languages infer the "is true" you might see it as:
151
152
CHAPTER 11. 11. TWO WAY SELECTION
if expression action true else action false

The above four forms of the control structure are saying the same thing. The else word is often not used in our English speaking today. However, consider the following conversation between a mother and her child. Child asks, "Mommy, may I go out side and play?" Mother answers, "If your room is clean then you may go outside and play or else you may go sit on a chair for ve minutes as punishment for asking me the question when you knew your room was dirty." Let's note that all of the elements are present to determine the action (or ow) that the child will be doing. Because the question (your room is clean) has only two possible answers (true or false) the actions are
mutually exclusive. Either the child 1) goes outside and plays or 2) sits on a chair for ve minutes.
One of the actions is executed; never both of the actions.
11.1.1.2 One Choice Implied Two Way Selection

Often the programmer will want to do something only if the expression is true, that is with no false action. The lack of a false action is also referred to as a "null else" and would be written as:
if expression action true else do nothing

Because the "else do nothing" is implied, it is usually written in short form like:
if expression action true

11.2 Boolean Data Type2

11.2.1 Discussion
The
Boolean data type is also known as the logical data type and represents the concepts of true and false.
The name "Boolean" comes from the mathematician George Boole; who in 1854 published: An Investigation of the Laws of Thought. Boolean algebra is the area of mathematics that deals with the logical representation of true and false using the numbers 0 and 1. The importance of the Boolean data type within programming is that it is used to control programming structures (if then else, while loops, etc.) that allow us to implement "choice" into our algorithms. The Boolean data type has the same attributes and acts or behaves similarly in all programming languages. The rules within the C++ programming language are:
C++ Reserved Word Represent Size Normal Signage Domain (Values Allowed) C++ syntax rule
bool Logical concepts of true and false Usually 1 byte Unsigned 0 meaning false, and 1 meaning true true and false are reserved words that can be used as values in expressions
C++ concept/rule
Any value from any data type can be demoted into a Boolean data type with zero representing false and all non-zero values representing true.
Table 11.1
Most control structures use a we often talk about the
test expression that executes either selection (as in the: if then else) or
iteration (as in the while; do while; or for loops) based on the truthfulness or falseness of the expression. Thus,
Boolean expression that is controlling the structure. Within many programming
languages, this expression must be a Boolean expression and is governed by a tight set of rules. However, in C++ every data type can be used as a Boolean expression because the value of any data type within C++ can be demoted into a Boolean value. Within most languages, expressions that yield Boolean data type values are divided into two groups. One group uses the relational operators within their expressions and the other group uses logical operators within their expressions. Within the C++ programming language the Boolean data type is one of the standard or basic data types and is a member of the integer family.

11.3 Relational Operators3

11.3.1 Overview of the Relational Operators
The relational operators are often used to create a of expression is also known as a
test expression that controls program ow. This type Boolean expression because they create a Boolean answer or value when
evaluated. There are six common relational operators that give a Boolean value by comparing (showing the relationship) between two operands. If the operands are of dierent data types, implicit promotion occurs to convert the operands to the same data type.
Denition 11.5: relational operator

An operator that gives a Boolean value by evaluating the relationship between two operands. Operator symbols and/or names vary with dierent programming languages. The C++ programming language operators with their meanings are:
C++ Operator
Meaning less than greater than less than or equal to greater than or equal to equality (equal to) inequality (not equal to)

11.4 Compound Statement5

11.4.1 The Need for a Compound Statement
For illustration we will use the syntax for the
if then else control structure within the C++ programming
language. However this problem generally exits for all control structures within any language that requires the use of compound statements. The syntax is:
if (expression) statement; else statement;

Within the C++ programming language there can be only one statement listed as the action part of a control structure. Often, we will want to do more than one statement. This problem is overcome by creating a compound statement. The brace symbols the opening { and the closing } - are used to create a compound statement. For example:
if(expression) { statement; statement; } else { statement; statement; }

Because programmers often forget that they can have only one statement listed as the action part of a control structure; the C++ programming industry encourages the use of indentation (to see the action parts clearly) and the use of compound statements (braces), even if there is only one action. Thus:
if(expression) {

statement; } else { statement; }

By writing code in this manner, if the programmer modies the code by adding more statements to either the action true or the action false; they will not introduce either compiler or logic errors. Using indentation and braces should become standard practice for C++ programmers and programmers in any other language that require the use of compound statements with the control strucutes.
11.4.2 Other Uses of a Compound Statement

"A compound statement is a unit of code consisting of zero or more statements. It is also known as a
block.
The compound statement allows a group of statements to become one single entry. You used a compound statement in your rst program when you formed the body of the function main. All C++ functions contain a compound statement known as the function body. A compound statement consist of an opening brace, optional declarations, denitions, and statements, followed by a closing brace. Although all three are optional, one should be present."
11.4.3 Denitions
Denition 11.6: compound statement
A unit of code consisting of zero or more statements.
Denition 11.7: block

Another name for a compound statement.

12. Multiway Selection

12.1 Nested If Then Else1
12.1.1 Introduction to Mulitway Selection
12.1.1.1 Nested Control Structures
We are going to rst introduce the concept of nested control structures. Nesting is a concept that places one item inside of another. Consider:
if expression true action else false action

This is the basic form of the if then else control structure. Now consider:
if age is less than 18 you can't vote if age is less than 16 you can't drive else you can drive else you can vote if age is less than 21 you can't drink else you can drink
As you can see we simply included as part of the "true action" a statement and another if then else control structure. We did the same (nested another if then else) for the "false action". In our example we nested if then else control structures. Nesting could have an if then else within a while loop. Thus, the concept of nesting allows the mixing of the dierent categories of control structures.
161

CHAPTER 12. 12. MULTIWAY SELECTION
12.1.1.2 Multiway Selection

One of the drawbacks of two way selection is that we can only consider two choices. But what do you do if you have more than two choices. Consider the following which has four choices:
if age equal to 18 you can now vote else if age equal to 39 you are middle aged else if age equal to 65 you can consider retirement else your age is unimportant
You get an appropriate message depending on the value of age. The last item is referred to as the default. If the age is not equal to 18, 39 or 65 you get the default message. In some situations there is no default action. Consider:
if age equal to 18 you can now vote else if age equal to 39 you are middle aged else if age equal to 65 you can consider retirement
The last if then else control structure has no "else". It's implied "else do nothing". Without the default the multiway selection could be written as a series of "if then without the else" structures. Consider:
if age equal to 18 you can now vote if age equal to 39 you are middle aged if age equal to 65 you can consider retirement
We have shown two ways to accomplish multiway selection. The choice of using nested it then else control structures or a series of if then control structures is decided on the existence of a default action (you must use nested if then else) or programmer preference if there is not a default action (you may use nested if then else or a series of if then control structures).
12.1.2 if then else Syntax within C++

The syntax for the if then else control structure within the C++ programming language is:
Example 12.1: C++ source code: Layout of an if then else
163
if (expression) { statement; } else { statement; }
note: The test expression is within the parentheses, but this is not a function call. The parentheses
are part of the control structure. Additionally, there is no semicolon after the parenthesis following the expression.
12.1.3 C++ Example

Multiway selection is often needed to cover all possibilities. Assume that the user has been prompted for the ages of two people with the answers stored in variables named age1 and age2. Consider:
if(age1 > age2) { cout "\n\nThe first person is older."; } else { cout "\n\nThe second person is older."; }
What if the two persons are the same age? The program incorrectly says the second person is older. To solve this we must handle all three possibilities. Consider this mulitway selection example:
if(age1 == age2) { cout "\n\nThey are the same age."; } else { if(age1 > age2) { cout "\n\nThe first person is older."; } else
164

{ cout } "\n\nThe second person is older.";

12.2 Logical Operators2

12.2.1 Overview of the Logical Operators
Within most languages, expressions that yield Boolean data type values are divided into two groups. One group uses the relational operators within their expressions and the other group uses logical operators within their expressions. The logical operators are often used to help create a type of expression is also known as a
test expression that controls program ow. This Boolean expression because they create a Boolean answer or value
when evaluated. The answers to Boolean expressions within the C++ programming language are a value of either 1 for true or 0 for false. There are three common logical operators that give a Boolean value by manipulating other Boolean operand(s). Operator symbols and/or names vary with dierent programming languages. The C++ programming language operators with their meanings are:
C++ Operator && || !
Meaning Logical and Logical or Logical not
Comment
Typing two ampersands two vertical dashes or piping symbols
unary
the exclamation point
Table 12.1
note:
The vertical dashes or piping symbol is found on the same key as the backslash
\.
You
use the SHIFT key to get it. It is just above the Enter key on most keyboards. It may be a solid vertical line on some keyboards and show as a solid vertical line on some print fonts. In most languages there are strict rules for forming proper logical expressions. An example is:
6 > 4 && 2 <= 14
This expression has two relational operators and one logical operator.
Using the precedence of operator
rules the two relational comparisons will be done before the logical and operation. Thus:
1 && 1
or
true && true

The nal evaluation of the expression is: 1 meaning true.
165
We can say this in English as: It is true that six is greater than four and that two is less than or equal to fourteen. When forming logical expressions programmers often use parentheses (even when not technically needed) to make the logic of the expression very clear. Consider the above complex Boolean expression rewritten:
(6 > 4) && (2 <= 14)
12.2.2 Truth Tables

A common way to show logical relationships is in truth tables.
Logical and (&&) x

false false true true
y
false true false true
x && y
false false false true
Table 12.2
Logical or (||) x
false false true true
y
false true false true
x ||y
false true true true
Table 12.3
Logical not (!) x

false true
!x
true false
Table 12.4
12.2.3 Examples
I call this example of why I hate "and" and love "or". Everyday as I came home from school on Monday through Thursday; I would ask my mother, "May I go outside and play?" She would answer, "If your room is clean and your homework is done then you may go outside and play." I learned to hate the word "and". I could manage to get one of the tasks done and have some time to play before dinner, but both of them. . . well, I hated "and". On Friday my mother took a more relaxed view point and when asked if I could go outside and play she responded, "If your room is clean or your homework is done then you may go outside and play." I learned to clean my room quickly on Friday afternoon. Well needless to say, I loved "or".
166

For the next example, just imagine a teenager talking to their mother. During the conversation mom
says, "After all, your Dad is reasonable!" The teenager says, "Reasonable. (short pause) Not." Maybe college professors will think that all their students studied for the exam. Ha ha! Not. Well, I hope you get the point.

12.3 Case Control Structure4

12.3.1 Traditional Case Control Structure
12.3.1.1 Multiway Selection using the Case Structure
One of the drawbacks of two way selection is that we can only consider two choices. But what do you do if you have more than two choices. Consider the following which has four choices:
if age equal to 18 you can vote else if age equal to 39 you're middle aged else if age equal to 65 consider retirement else age is un-important
You get an appropriate message depending on the value of age. The last item is referred to as the default. If the age is not equal to 18, 39 or 65 you get the default message. In some situations there is no default action. Consider this owchart example:
168
Figure 12.1
This owchart is of the case control structure and is used for multiway selection. The decision box holds the variable age. The logic of the case is one of equality where in the value in the variable age is compared to the listed values in order from left to right. Thus, the value stored in age is compared to 18 or is "age equal to 18". If it is true, the logic ows down through the action and drops out at the bottom of the case structure. If the value of the test expression is false, it moves to the next listed value to the right and makes another comparison. It works exactly the same as our nested if then else structure.
12.3.1.2 C++ Code to Accomplish Multiway Selection

Using the same example as above, here is the C++ code to accomplish the case control structure.
Example 12.4: C++ source code - case structure with integers
switch (age) { case 18: cout
"\nYou can vote.";
169
break; case 39: cout "\nYou're middle aged."; break; case 65: cout "\nConsider retirement."; break; default: cout "\nAge is un-important."; }
The rst thing you should note is that the C++ programming language does not formally have a case control structure. It does have a switch control structure but it acts dierently than the traditional case control structure. We use a break (which is a branching control structure) with the switch to make it act like the traditional case structure. This is one of the few allowable ways to use the switch with break within the C++ programming language to simulate the traditional case structure. All other uses of the switch or break are to be avoided if you are to stay within the bounds of good structured programming techniques. The value in the variable age is compared to the rst "case" (note:
case is one of the C++ reserved
words) which is the value 18 (also called the listed value) using an equality comparison or is "age equal to 18". If it is true, the cout is executed which displays You can vote. and the next line of code (the break) is done (which jumps us to the end of the control structure). If it is false, it moves on to the next case for comparison. Most programming languages, including C++, require the listed values for the case control structure be of the integer family of data types. This basically means either an integer or character data type. Consider this example that uses character data type (choice is a character variable):
Example 12.5: C++ source code - case structure with characters
switch (choice) { case 'A': cout break; case 'B': cout break; case 'C': cout break; default: cout }
"\nYou are an A student."; "\nYou are a B student."; "\nYou are a C student."; "\nMaybe you should study harder.";
12.3.2 Limitations of the Case Control Structure

Most programming languages, including C++, do not allow ranges of values for case like structures. Consider this owcharting example that used ranges:
170
Figure 12.2
Consider also the following pseudocode for the same logic:
Case of age 0 to 17 18 to 64 65 + Endcase
Display "You can't vote." Display "You're in your working years." Display "You should be retired."
Using the case control structure when using non integer family or ranges of values is allowed when designing a program and documenting that design with pseudocode or owcharting. However, the implementation in most languages would follow a
nested if then else approach with complex Boolean expressions. The
logic of the above examples would look like this:
if age > 0 and age <= to 17 display You can't vote. else if age is >= 18 and age <= 64
171
display You're in your working years. else display You should be retired.
12.3.3 Good Structured Programming Methods

Most text book authors conrm that good structured programming techniques and habits are more important than concentrating on the technical possibilities and capabilities of the language that you are using to learn programming skills. Remember, this module is concentrating on programming fundamentals and concepts It is not a created with and it uses the C++ programming language to build our initial programming skills.

Denition 12.6: switch

12.4 Branching Control Structures5

12.4.1 Discussion
The branching control structures allow the ow of execution to jump to a dierent part of the program. The three common branching control structures are: break, continue and goto. These are rarely used in modular structured programming with one exception. That exception is in relation to creating the case within the selection category of control structures. There is one other branching control structure that is often not viewed as branching control structure. It is: return. Additionally, we will add to our list of branching items a pre-dened function commonly used in the C++ programming language of: exit that is part of the C standard library (cstdlib). Some denitions:
12.4.1.1 Denitions Denition 12.7: branching control structures

Allow the ow of execution to jump to a dierent part of the program.
Denition 12.8: break

A branching control structure that terminates the existing structure.
Denition 12.9: continue

A branching control structure that causes a loop to stop its current iteration and begin the next one.
Denition 12.10: goto

A branching control structure that causes the logic to jump to a dierent place in the program.
Denition 12.11: return

A branching control structure that causes a function to jump back to the function that called it.
Denition 12.12: exit

A pre-dened function used to prematurely stop a program and jump to the operating system.
172

We will discuss each item indicating which ones are allowed or not allowed within good structured
programming practices.
12.4.2 Examples
12.4.2.1 break
The break is used in one of two ways; with the switch (a C++ programming structure) to make it act like a case structure (it's more common name within most programming languages) or as part of a looping process to break out of the loop. The rst usage is allowed in good structured programming and the second is not allowed in good structured programming.
switch (age) { case 18: cout break; case 39: cout break; case 65: cout break; default: cout }
"\nYou can vote."; "\nYou are middle aged."; "\nYou are at retirement age."; "\nYour current age is not important.";
The following is an unauthorized use of break in a loop and it gives the appearance that the loop will execute 8 times, but the break statement causes it to stop during the fth iteration.
counter = 0; while(counter < 8) { cout counter endl; if (counter == 4) { break; } counter++; }
12.4.2.2 continue
The continue structure is not allowed in good structured programming. The following gives the appearance that the loop will print to the monitor 8 times, but the continue statement causes it not to print number 4.
173
for(counter = 0; counter < 8; counter++) { if (counter == 4) { continue; } cout counter endl; }
12.4.2.3 goto
The goto structure is not allowed in good structured programming. It is with a certain amount of hesitancy that we even show it. Many textbooks do not cover the goto. Within the C++ programming language you create a label with an identier name followed by a colon. You use the command word goto followed by the label. A label can be used before it is declared.
some lines of code; goto mynewspot; some lines of code; some lines of code; some lines of code; mynewspot: some statement; some lines of code;
//jumps to the label
//Declared label
12.4.2.4 return
The return is allowed in good structured programming, but only at the end of a function. A function should not pre-maturely end by having the logic of the function have it terminate by jumping back to the function that called it.
//****************************************************** // get data //****************************************************** void get_data(void) { // Input - Test Data - 5678.9, 5432.1 cout "\nEnter the length of the property in feet --->: "; cin property_length; cout "\nEnter the width of the property in feet ---->: ";
174
cin property_width; return; }
12.4.2.5 exit
Although exit is technically a pre-dened function, it is covered here because of its common usage in programming. A good example is the opening a le and then testing to see if the le was actually opened. If not, we have an error that usually indicates that we want to pre-maturely stop the execution of the program. Within the C++ programming language the exit function terminates the running of the program and in the process returns an integer value back to the operating system. It ts the denition of branching which is to jump to some other place in the program. In our example the value returned to the operating system is the value of the constant named: EXIT_FAILURE.
inData.open(filename); //Open input file if (!inData) //Test to see if file was opened { cout "\n\nError opening file: " filename "\n\n"; pause(); //Pause - user reads message exit(EXIT_FAILURE); //Allows a pre-mature jump to OS }

13. Test After Loops

13.1 Do While Loop1
13.1.1 Introduction to Test After Loops
There are two commonly used test after loops in the iteration (or repetition) category of control structures. They are: do while and repeat until. This module covers the: do while.
13.1.1.1 Understanding Iteration in General do while

The concept of iteration is connected to possibly wanting to repeat an action. Like all control structures we ask a question to control the execution of the loop. The term loop comes from the circular looping motion that occurs when using owcharting. The basic form of the do while loop is as follows:
do
some statements or action some statements or action some statements or action update the flag while the answer to the question is true
In every language that I know the question (called a
test expression) is a Boolean expression. The
Boolean data type has two values true and false. Let's rewrite the structure to consider this:
do
some statements or action some statements or action some statements or action update the flag while expression is true
Within the do while control structure there are three attributes of a properly working loop. They are:
Action or actions Update of the ag
179
180
CHAPTER 13. 13. TEST AFTER LOOPS

Test expression
The English phrasing is, "You do the action while the expression is true". This is looping on the true. When the test expression is false, you stop the loop and go on with the next item in the program. Notice, because this is a test after loop the action will always happen Latin for after) the action and update.
at least once. It is called a test after loop because
the test comes after the action. It is also sometimes called a post-test loop, meaning the test is post (or
13.1.2 The do while Structure within C++

13.1.2.1 Syntax
The syntax for the do while control structure within the C++ programming language is:
do
{ statement; statement; statement; statement; // This statement updates the flag; } while (expression);
are part of the control structure. Additionally, there is a semicolon after the parenthesis following the expression.
13.1.2.2 An Example Example 13.1: C++ source code: do while loop
do
{ cout "\nWhat is your age? "; cin age_user; cout "\nWhat is your friend's age? "; cin age_friend; cout "\nTogether your ages add up to: "; cout (age_user + age_friend); cout "\nDo you want to do it again? y or n "; cin loop_response; } while (loop_response == 'y');
The three attributes of a test after loop are present. The action part consists of the 6 lines that prompt for data and then displays the total of the two ages. The update of the ag is the displaying the question and getting the answer for the variable loop_response. The test is the equality relational comparison of the value in the ag variable to the lower case character of y.
181
This type of loop control is called an event controlled loop. The ag updating is an event where someone decides if they want the loop to execute again. Using indentation with the alignment of the loop actions and ag update is normal industry practice within the C++ community.
13.1.2.3 Innite Loops

At this point it's worth mentioning that good programming always provides for a method to insure that the loop question will eventually be false so that the loop will stop executing and the program continues with the next line of code. However, if this does not happen then the program is in an innite loop. Innite loops are a bad thing. Consider the following code:
Example 13.2: C++ source code: innite loop
loop_response = 'y'; do { cout "\nWhat is your age? "; cin age_user; cout "\nWhat is your friend's age? "; cin age_friend; cout "\nTogether your ages add up to: "; cout (age_user + age_friend); } while (loop_response == 'y');
The programmer assigned a value to the ag before the loop and forgot to update the ag. provide a way to exit the loop (he forgot to update the ag). Consider the following code: Every time
the test expression is asked it will always be true. Thus, an innite loop because the programmer did not
do
{ cout "\nWhat is your age? "; cin age_user; cout "\nWhat is your friend's age? "; cin age_friend; cout "\nTogether your ages add up to: "; cout (age_user + age_friend); cout "\nDo you want to do it again? y or n "; cin loop_response; } while (loop_response = 'y');
No matter what the user replies during the ag update, the test expression does not do a relational comparison but does an assignment. It assigns 'y' to the variable and asks if 'y' is true? Since all non-zero values are treated as representing true within the Boolean concepts of the C++ programming language, the answer to the text question is true. Viola, you have an innite loop.

13.2 Flag Concept2

13.2.1 Concept Discussion
For centuries ags have been used as a signal to let others know something about the group or individual that is displaying, ying or waving the ag. There are country ags and state ags. Ships at sea ew the ag of their country. Pirates ew the skull and cross bones. A yellow ag was used for quarantine, usually the plague. Even pirates stayed away. Today, some people might recognize the ag used by scuba divers. The Presidents of most countries have a ag. At a race car event they use the checkered ag to indicate the race is over.
183
Figure 13.1
Computer programming uses the concept of a ag in the same way that physical ags are used. A ag is anything that signals some information to the person looking at it.
13.2.2 Computer Implementation

Any variable or constant that holds data can be used as a ag. You can think of the storage location as a ag pole. The value stored within the variable conveys some meaning and you can think of it as being the ag. An example might be a variable named: gender which is of the character data type. The two values normally stored in the variable are: 'F' and 'M' meaning female and male. Then, somewhere within a program we might look at the variable to make a decision:
Example 13.4: ag controling an if then control structure
if gender equals 'F' display "Are you pregnant?" get answer from user store in pregnant variable
184
Looking at the ag implies comparing the value in the variable to another value (a constant or the value in another variable) using a relational operator (in our above example: equality). Control structures are "controlled" by using a test expression which is usually a Boolean expression. Thus, the ag concept of "looking" at the value in the variable and comparing it to another value is fundamental to understanding how all control structures work.
13.2.3 Two Flags with the Same Meaning

Sometimes we will use an iteration control structure of do while to allow us to decide if we want to do the loop action again. A variable might be named "loop_response" with the user prompted for their answer of 'y' for yes or 'n' for no. Once the answer is retrieved from the keyboard and stored in our ag variable of "loop_response" the test expression to control the loop might be:
Example 13.5: simple ag comparison
loop_response equals 'y'

This is ne but what if the user accidentally has on the caps lock. Consider: Then his response of 'Y' would not
have the control structure loop and perform the action again. The solution lies in looking at the ag twice.
Example 13.6: complex ag comparison
loop_response equals 'y' or loop_response equals 'Y'

We look to see if the ag is either a lower case y or an upper case Y by using a more complex Boolean expression with both relational and logical operators.
13.2.4 Multiple Flags in One Byte

Within assembly language programming and in many technical programs that control special devices; the use of a single byte to represent several ags is common. This is accomplished by having each one of the 8 bits that make up the byte represent a ag. Each bit has a value of either 1 or 0 and can represent true and false, on or o, yes or no, etc.
13.2.5 Denitions
Denition 13.7: ag
A variable or constant used to store information that will normally be used to control the program.
13.3 Assignment vs Equality within C++3

Most control structures use a
test expression that executes either selection (as in the: if then else) or
iteration (as in the while; do while; or for loops) based on the truthfulness or falseness of the expression. Thus,
185
we often talk about the
Boolean expression that is controlling the structure. Within many programming
languages, this expression must be a Boolean expression and is governed by a tight set of rules. However, in C++ every data type can be used as a Boolean expression, because every data type can be demoted into a Boolean value by using the rule/concept that zero represents false and all non-zero values represent true. Within C++ we have the potential added confusion of the equals symbol as an operator that does not represent the normal math meaning of with C++ means:
equality that we have used for most of our life. The equals symbol assignment. To get the equality concept of math within C++ we use two equal symbols
to represent the relational operator of equality. Let's consider:
if (pig = 'y') { cout "\nPigs are good"; } else { cout "\nPigs are bad."; }
The test expression of the control structure will always be true, because the expression is an assignment (not the relational operator of ==). It assigns the 'y' to the variable pig, then looks at the value in pig and determines that it is not zero; therefore the expression is true. And it will always be true and the else part will never be executed. This is not what the programmer had intended. Let's consider:
do
{ cout "\nPigs are good"; cout "\nDo it again, answer y or n: "; cin do_it_again } while (do_it_again = 'y');
The loop's test expression will always be true, because the expression is an assignment (not the relational operator of ==). It assigns the 'y' to the variable do_it_again, then looks at the value in do_it_again and determines that it is not zero; therefore the expression is true. And it will always be true and you have just created an innite loop. As a reminder, innite loops are not a good thing. These examples are to remind you that you must be careful in creating your test expressions so that they are indeed a question usually involving the relational operators. Don't get caught using assignment for equality.
13.4 Repeat Until Loop4

13.4.1 Introduction to Test After Loops
There are two commonly used test after loops in the iteration (or repetition) category of control structures. They are: do while and repeat until. This module covers the: repeat until.
186
13.4.1.1 Understanding Iteration in General repeat until

The concept of iteration is connected to possibly wanting to repeat an action. Like all control structures we ask a question to control the execution of the loop. The term loop comes from the circular looping motion that occurs when using owcharting. The basic form of the repeat until loop is as follows:
repeat some statements or action some statements or action some statements or action update the flag until the answer to the question becomes true
In every language that I know the question (called a
test expression) is a Boolean expression. The
Boolean data type has two values true and false. Let's rewrite the structure to consider this:
repeat some statements or action some statements or action some statements or action update the flag until expression becomes true
Within the repeat until control structure there are three attributes of a properly working loop. They are:
Action or actions Update of the ag Test expression
The English phrasing is, "You repeat the action until the expression becomes true". This is looping on the false. When the test expression becomes true, you stop the loop and go on with the next item in the program. Notice, because this is a test after loop the action will always happen test is post (or Latin for after) the action and update.
at least once. It is called a "test
after loop" because the test comes after the action. It is also sometimes called a post-test loop, meaning the

14. Test Before Loops

14.1 Increment and Decrement Operators1
The idea of increment or decrement is to either add or subtract 1 from a variable that is usually acting as a ag. Using a variable named counter; in generic terms, for example:
increment the counter

The concept is:
counter is assigned counter + 1

That is you fetch the existing value of the counter and add one then store the answer back into the variable counter. Many programming languages allow their increment and decrement operators to only be used with the integer data type. Programmers will sometimes use inc and dec as abbreviations for increment and decrement respectively. Operator symbols and/or names vary with dierent programming languages. The C++ programming language operators with their meanings are:
C++ Operator ++
Meaning increment, decrement,

Table 14.1
two plus signs two minus signs
14.1.2 C++ Code Examples

14.1.2.1 Basic Concept
Within the C++ programming language the increment and decrement are often used in this simple generic way. The operator of increment is represented by two plus signs in a row. Examples:
counter = counter + 1; counter += 1; counter++; ++counter;
As C++ statements, the four examples all do the same thing. is stored in counter.
They add 1 to the value of whatever They would
The decrement opereator is represented by two minus signs in a row.

191
192
CHAPTER 14. 14. TEST BEFORE LOOPS
subtract 1 from the value of whatever was in the variable being decremented. The precedence of increment and decrement depends on if the operator is attached to the right of the operand (postx) or to the left of the operand (prex). Within C++ postx and prex do not have the same precedence.
14.1.2.2 Postx Increment

Postx increment says to use my existing value then when you are done with the other operators; increment me. An example:
int oldest = 44; // variable set up with initialization then later on in the code age = oldest++;
The rst use of the oldest variable is an Rvalue context where the existing value of 44 is pulled or fetched and then assigned to the variable age; then the variable oldest is incremented with its value changing from 44 to 45. This seems to be a violation of precedence because increment is higher precedence than assignment. But that is how postx increment works within the C++ programming language.
14.1.2.3 Prex Increment

Prex increment says to increment me now and use my new value in any calculation. An example:
int oldest = 44; // variable set up with initialization then later on in the code age = ++oldest;
The variable oldest is incremented with the new value changing it from 44 to 45; then the new value is assigned to age. In postx age is assigned 44 in prex age is assigned 45. One way to help remember the dierence is to think of postx as being polite (use my existing value and return to increment me after the other operators are done) where as prex has an ego (I am important so increment me rst and use my new value for the rest of the evaluations).
14.1.2.4 Allowable Data Types

Within some programming languages, increment and decrement can be used only on the integer data type. C++ however, expands this not only to all of the integer family but also to the oating-point family (oat and double). Incrementing 3.87 will change the value to 4.87. Decrementing 'C' will change the value to 'B'. Remember the ASCII character values are really one byte unsigned integers (domain from 0 to 255).
14.1.2.5 Exercises Exercise 14.1.1 Evaluate the following items using increment or decrement:
1. True or false: x = x +1 and x+=1 and x++ all accomplish increment? 2. Given: int y = 19; and int z; what values will y and z have after: z = y; 3. Given: double x = 7.77; and int y; what values will x and y have after: y = ++x; 4. Is this ok? Why or why not? 6 * ++(age -3)

14.2 While Loop2

14.2.1 Introduction to Test Before Loops
There are two commonly used test before loops in the iteration (or repetition) category of control structures. They are: while and for. This module covers the: while.
14.2.1.1 Understanding Iteration in General while

The concept of iteration is connected to possibly wanting to repeat an action. Like all control structures we ask a question to control the execution of the loop. The term loop comes from the circular looping motion that occurs when using owcharting. The basic form of the while loop is as follows:
initialization of the flag while the answer to the question is true then do some statements or action some statements or action some statements or action update the flag
In almost all languages the question (called a
test expression) is a Boolean expression. The Boolean
data type has two values true and false. Let's rewrite the structure to consider this:
initialization of the flag while the expression is true then do some statements or action some statements or action some statements or action update the flag
Within the while control structure there are four attributes to a properly working loop. They are:
Initializing the ag Test expression Action or actions Update of the ag
194
The initialization of the ag is not technically part of the control structure, but a necessary item to occur before the loop is started. The English phrasing is, "While the expression is true, do the following actions". This is looping on the true. When the test expression is false, you stop the loop and go on with the next item in the program. Notice, because this is a test before loop the action a meaning the test is pre (or Latin for before) the action and update.
might not happen. It is called test before loop because the test comes before the action. It is also sometimes called a pre-test loop,
14.2.1.2 Human Example of the while Loop

Consider the following one-way conversation from a mother to her child. Child: The child says nothing, but mother knows the child had Cheerios for breakfast and history tells us that the child most likely spilled some Cheerios on the oor. Mother says: "While it is true that you see (As long as you can see) a Cheerio on oor, pick it up and put it in the garbage." Note: All of the elements are present to determine the action (or ow) that the child will be doing (in this case repeating). Because the question (can you see a Cheerios) has only two possible answers (true or false) the action will continue while there are Cheerios on the oor. Either the child 1) never picks up a Cheerio because they never spilled any or 2) picks up a Cheerio and keeps picking up Cheerios one at a time while he can see a Cheerio on the oor (that is until they are all picked up).
14.2.2 The while Structure within C++

14.2.2.1 Syntax
The syntax for the while control structure within the C++ programming language is:
statement; // This statement initializes the flag; while (expression) { statement; statement; statement; statement; // This statement updates the flag; }
are part of the control structure. following the expression.
Additionally, there is not a semicolon after the parenthesis
14.2.2.2 An Example Example 14.1: C++ source code: while
loop_response = 'y'; while (loop_response == 'y') { cout "\nWhat is your age? "; cin age_user; cout "\nWhat is your friend's age? ";
195
cin cout cout cout cin }
age_friend; "\nTogether your ages add up to: "; (age_user + age_friend); "\nDo you want to do it again? y or n "; loop_response;
The four attributes of a test before loop are present. The initialization of the ag. The test is the equality relational comparison of the value in the ag variable to the lower case character of y. ag is the displaying the question and getting the answer for the variable loop_response. This type of loop control is called an event controlled loop. The ag updating is an event where someone decides if they want the loop to execute again. Using indentation with the alignment of the loop actions and ag update is normal industry practice within the C++ community. The action part consists of the 6 lines that prompt for data and then displays the total of the two ages. The update of the

loop_response = 'y'; while (loop_response == 'y') { cout "\nWhat is your age? "; cin age_user; cout "\nWhat is your friend's age? "; cin age_friend; cout "\nTogether your ages add up to: "; cout (age_user + age_friend); }
The programmer assigned a value to the ag before the loop which is correct. However, he forgot to update the ag. Every time the test expression is asked it will always be true. Thus, an innite loop because the programmer did not provide a way to exit the loop (he forgot to update the ag). Consider the following code:
loop_response = 'y'; while (loop_response = 'y') { cout "\nWhat is your age? "; cin age_user; cout "\nWhat is your friend's age? ";
196

age_friend; "\nTogether your ages add up to: "; (age_user + age_friend); "\nDo you want to do it again? y or n "; loop_response;
cin cout cout cout cin }
No matter what the user replies during the ag update, the test expression does not do a relational comparison but does an assignment. It assigns 'y' to the variable and asks if 'y' is true? Since all non-zero values are treated as representing true within the Boolean concepts of the C++ programming language, the answer to the test expression is true. Viola, you have an innite loop.
loop_response = 'y'; while (loop_response == 'y'); { cout "\nWhat is your age? "; cin age_user; cout "\nWhat is your friend's age? "; cin age_friend; cout "\nTogether your ages add up to: "; cout (age_user + age_friend); cout "\nDo you want to do it again? y or n "; cin loop_response; }
The undesirable semi-colon on the end of while line causes the action of the while loop to be the "nothingness" between the closing parenthesis and the semi-colon. there will be no output. The program will innitely loop because there is no action (that is no action and no update). If this is the rst item in your program it will appear to start but
14.2.3 Counting Loops

The examples above are for an event controlled loop. The ag updating is an event where someone decides if they want the loop to execute again. Often the initialization sets the ag so that the loop will execute at least once. Another common usage of the while loop is as a counting loop. Consider:
Example 14.5: C++ source code: while loop that is counting
counter = 0; while (counter < 5) { cout "\nI love ice cream!"; counter++; }
197
The variable counter is said to be controlling the loop.
It is set to zero (called initialization) before entering But part After executing the loop
the while loop structure and as long as it is less than 5 (ve); the loop action will be executed. of the loop action uses the increment operator to increase counter's value by one.
ve times (once for counter's values of: 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4) the expression will be false and the next line of code in the program will execute. A counting loop is designed to execute the action (which could be more than one statement) a set of given number of times. In our example, the message is displayed ve times on the monitor. It is accomplished my making sure all four attributes of the while control structure are present and working properly. The attributes are:
Initializing the ag Test expression Action or actions Update of the ag
Missing an attribute might cause an innite loop or give undesired results (does not work properly).

Consider:
counter = 0; while (counter < 5) { cout "\nI love ice cream!"; }

Missing the ag update usually causes an innite loop.
14.2.3.2 Variations on Counting

In the following example, the integer variable age is said to be controlling the loop (that is the ag). We can assume that age has a value provided earlier in the program. Because the while structure is a test before loop; it is possible that the person's age is 0 (zero) and the rst time we test the expression it will be false and the action part of the loop would never be executed.
Example 14.7: C++ source code: while as a counting loop
while (0 < age) { cout "\nI love candy!"; age--; }

Consider the following variation assuming that age and counter are both integer data type and that age has a value:
Example 14.8: C++ source code: while as a counting loop
198
counter = 0; while (counter < age) { cout "\nI love corn chips!"; counter++; }
This loop is a counting loop similar to our rst counting loop example. The only dierence is instead of using a literal constant (in other words 5) in our expression, we used the variable age (and thus the value stored in age) to determine how many times to execute the loop. However, unlike our rst counting loop example which will always execute exactly 5 times; it is possible that the person's age is 0 (zero) and the rst time we test the expression it will be false and the action part of the loop would never be executed.

15.1 For Loop1
15.1.1 Introduction to Test Before Loops
There are two commonly used test before loops in the iteration (or repetition) category of control structures. They are: while and for. This module covers the: for.
15.1.1.1 Understanding Iteration in General for

In most programming languages the for loop is used exclusively for counting; that is to repeat a loop action as it either counts up or counts down. There is a starting value and a stopping value. The question that controls the loop is a
test expression that compares the starting value to the stopping value. This expression is
a Boolean expression and is usually using the relational operators of either less than (for counting up) or greater than (for counting down). The term loop comes from the circular looping motion that occurs when using owcharting. The basic form of the for loop (counting up) is as follows:
for initialization of the starting value starting value is less than the stopping value some statements or action some statements or action some statements or action increment the starting value
It might be best to understand the for loop by understanding a while loop acting like a counting loop. Let's consider;
initialization of the starting value while the starting value is less than the stopping value some statements or action some statements or action some statements or action increment the starting value
203
204
CHAPTER 15. 15. COUNTING LOOPS

Within the for control structure there are four attributes to a properly working loop. They are: Initializing the ag done once Test expression Action or actions Update of the ag
The initialization of the ag is not technically part of the while control structure, but it is usually part of the for control structure. The English phrasing is, "For x is 1; x less than 3; do the following actions; increment x; loop back to the test expression". This is doing the action on the true. When the test expression is false, you stop the loop and go on with the next item in the program. Notice, because this is a test before loop the action
might not happen. It is called a test before loop because the test comes before the action. It
is also sometimes called a pre-test loop, meaning the test is pre (or Latin for before) the action and update.
15.1.2 The for Structure within C++

15.1.2.1 Syntax
The syntax of the for loop control structure within the C++ programming language is:
for (initializations; expression; updates) { statement; statement; statement; }

note: The initializations, test expression and updates are within the parentheses (each separated
by a semi-colon), but this is not a function call. The parentheses are part of the control structure. Additionally, there is not a semicolon after the parenthesis following the expression.
15.1.2.2 An Example Example 15.1: C++ source code: for
for (counter = 0; counter < 5; counter++) { cout "\nI love ice cream!"; }
The four attributes of a test before loop (remember the for loop is one example of a test before loop) are present. The initialization of the ag. The test is the less than relational comparison of the value in the ag variable to the constant value of 5. The action part consists of the 1 line of output. The update of the ag is done with the increment operator. Using indentation with the alignment of the loop actions is normal industry practice within the C++ community.
205

for (counter = 0; counter < 5;) { cout "\nI love ice cream!"; }
The programmer assigned a value to the ag during the initialization step which is correct. However, he forgot to update the ag (the update step is missing). Every time the test expression is asked it will always be true. Thus, an innite loop because the programmer did not provide a way to exit the loop (he forgot to update the ag).
15.1.2.4 Multiple Items in the Initialization and Update

The following shows the use of the sequence operator to separate the multiple initializations and multiple updates. This is not available in most languages, thus is more unique to the C++ programming language.
Example 15.3: C++ source code: for with multiple initializations and updates
for (x = 0, y = 10; x < 10; x++, y--) { cout x * y endl; }

15.1.4 Miscellaneous Information about the for Structure

Many languages (Pascal, FORTRAN, and other) have a for loop structure that is used exclusively for counting. The for loop in the C++ programming language is much more versatile and can be used (and generally is used) in place of the while loop structure. In reality a counting loop is just a particular use of a while loop. The name for comes from mathematics' method of writing an iteration (or repetition). In math we would say: For the variable i starts at a given value and repeats an action increasing the value of i until i is executed for the stopping value. Usually written in math as: for i = 1 to 5 do some action Note: here the = means equals not assignment. Another way to say it is that i varies from 1 to 5.

15.2 Circular Nature of the Integer Data Type Family2

There are times when character and integer data types are lumped together because they both act the same (often called the integer family). Maybe we should say they act dierently than the oating-point data types. The integer family values jump from one value to another. There is nothing between 6 and 7 nor between 'A' and 'B'. It could be asked why not make all your numbers oating-point data types. The reason is twofold. First, some things in the real world are not fractional. A dog, even with only 3 legs, is still one dog not three fourths of a dog. Second, the integer data type is often used to control program ow by counting (counting loops). The integer family has a circular wrap around feature. Using a two byte integer, the next number bigger than 32767 is negative 32768 (character acts the same way going from 255 to 0. We could also reverse that to be the next smaller number than negative 32768 is positive 32767. This can be shown by using a normal math line, limiting the domain and then connecting the two ends to form a circle.
Figure 15.2
This circular nature of the integer family works for both integer and character data types. In theory, it

should work for the Boolean data type as well; but in most programming languages it does not for various technical reasons. "In mathematics, modular arithmetic (sometimes called clock arithmetic) is a system of arithmetic for integers where numbers "wrap around" after they reach a certain value the modulus. which the day is divided into two 12 hour periods.
...
A familiar use of modular arithmetic is its use in the 12 hour clock the arithmetic of time-keeping in If the time is 7:00 now, then 8 hours later it will be 3:00. Usual addition would suggest that the later time should be 7 + 8 = 15, but this is not the answer because clock time "wraps around" every 12 hours; there is no "15 o'clock". Likewise, if the clock starts at 12:00 (noon) and 21 hours elapse, then the time will be 9:00 the next day, rather than 33:00. Since the hour number starts over when it reaches 12, this is arithmetic modulo 12.
Figure 15.3
Time-keeping on a clock gives an example of modular arithmetic." (Modular arithmetic from Wikipedia) The use of the modulus operator in integer division is tied to the concepts used in modular arithmetic.
15.2.2 Implications When Executing Loops

If a programmer sets up a counting loop incorrectly, usually one of three things happen:
Innite loop usually caused by missing update attribute. Loop never executes usually the text expression is wrong with the direction of the less than or greater than relationship needing to be switched. Loop executes more times than desired update not properly handled. Usually the direction of counting (increment or decrement) need to be switched.
Let's give an example of the loop executing for what appears to be for innity (the third item on our list).
for (int x = 0; x < 10; x--) { cout x endl; }

The above code accidently decrements and the value of x goes in a negative way towards -2147483648 (the largest negative value in a normal four byte signed integer data type). It might take a while (thus it might appear to be in an innite loop) for it to reach the negative 2 billion plus value, before nally decrementing to positive 2147483647 which would, incidentally, stop the loop execution.

15.3 Formatting Output4

Formatting of output is handled in dierent ways in the various languages used today. Many programming languages have dierent formatting instructions for the standard output device which is usually the monitor (going to a DOS black screen output box) versus using the monitor as a Graphical User Interface (GUI). File storage output is often handled similarly to the standard output device. All of this makes formatting of output very machine, output device and language dependent. When teaching programming fundamentals, many professors prefer to use the standard output device. For the C++ programming language this means going to the monitor using a DOS black screen output box.
15.3.2 C++ Considerations using Standard Output (cout)

15.3.2.1 Text Wrapping and Vertical Spacing
There are two items used to keep output from lling up a line and
wrapping on to the next line. They are:
Using the escape code sequence of
\n
within your strings (text between as set of double quote marks).
Using the item from the iostream named: endl; which is short for end line.
Thus the programmer is responsible for making text show reasonably on the screen. Both of the above also allow for adequate
vertical spacing when needed in your output.

15.3.2.2 Handling Floating-point Data Type

It is nice to have your output displayed so humans can read it (most humans are not use to scientic notation). There are three lines often inserted near the start of your code (rst items in the function main) that can be used to direct the formatting of oating-point data. They are:
cout.setf(ios::fixed); cout.setf(ios::showpoint); cout.precision(n);
They do the following for the rest of your program:
xed Do not use scientic notation but show oating-point values like integer values (numeral digits of 0 to 9 no exponent notation). showpoint Always show a decimal point for oating-point values even if there is no fractional part. precision Always show this number of digits (change n to a number like 2) to the right of the decimal point.
15.3.2.3 Setting the Width for Numbers

Setting the width for integer family and oating-point family data types must be done for the output of each value. Assume in the following example that age is an integer data type and money is a oating-point data type.
cout cout
setw(4) setw(8)
age endl; money endl;
Note that each value had to have its own setw(n) where n is an integer number telling it how many positions to use for the output. The iomanip header le (immediately shown) will need to be included in your program.
#include<iomanip> // needed for the setw

15.4 Nested For Loops6

15.4.1.1 Nested Control Structures
We are going to rst introduce the concept of nested control structures. Nesting is a concept that places one item inside of another. Consider:
if expression true action else false action

This is the basic form of the if then else control structure. Now consider:
if age is less than 18 you can't vote if age is less than 16 you can't drive else you can drive else you can vote if age is less than 21 you can't drink else you can drink
As you can see we simply included as part of the "true action" a statement and another if then else control structure. We did the same (nested another if then else) for the "false action". In our example we nested if then else control structures. Nesting could have an if then else within a while loop. Thus, the concept of nesting allows the mixing of the dierent categories of control structures. Many complex logic problems require using nested control structures. By nesting control structures (or placing one inside another) we can accomplish almost any
complex logic problem.
15.4.2 An Example Nested for loops

Here is an example of a 12 by 12 multiplication table:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------! 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | ! 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 20 | 22 | 24 | ! 3 | 6 | 9 | 12 | 15 | 18 | 21 | 24 | 27 | 30 | 33 | 36 | ! 4 | 8 | 12 | 16 | 20 | 24 | 28 | 32 | 36 | 40 | 44 | 48 | ! 5 | 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 | 30 | 35 | 40 | 45 | 50 | 55 | 60 | ! 6 | 12 | 18 | 24 | 30 | 36 | 42 | 48 | 54 | 60 | 66 | 72 | ! 7 | 14 | 21 | 28 | 35 | 42 | 49 | 56 | 63 | 70 | 77 | 84 |

16. String Class, Unary Positive and Negative

16.1 String Class within C++1
In most programming languages a string is typically a string of characters (string them along in a series). The rules for handling strings vary from language to language. Technically, there is no string data type in the C++ programming language. However, the concept of a string data type makes it easy to handle stings of character data. Associated with object oriented programming the string class has been added to C++ as a standard part of the programming language. Most data is more complex than just one character, integer, etc. methods to represent and store data that are more complex. students encounter. identier name. cally.

In the "C" programming language all strings were handled as an array of characters that end in an ASCII null character (the value 0 or the rst character in the
ASCII character code set). This changed with the
implementation of the string class within C++ where strings are stored as a length controlled array with a maximum length of 255 characters. This string class implementation also allowed programmers to use the reserved word

16.2 Unary Positive and Negative Operators3

Unary positive also known as plus and unary negative also known as minus are unique operators. The plus and minus when used with a constant value represent the concept that the values are either positive or negative. Let's consider:
+5 + -2
We have three operators in this order: unary positive, addition, and unary negative.
The answer to
this expression is a positive 3. As you can see, one must dierentiate between when the plus sign means unary positive and when it means addition. Unary negative and subtraction have the same problem. Let's consider:
-2 - +5
The expression evaluates to negative 7. Let's consider:
7 - -2
First constants that do not have a unary minis in front of them are assumed (the default) to be positive. When you subtract a negative number it is like adding, thus the expression evaluates to positive 9.
16.2.2 C++ Code Examples

The above examples work within the C++ programming language. What happens if we put a unary positive or unary negative in front of a variable or a named constant?
16.2.2.1 Negation Unary Negative

The concept of negation is to take a value and change its sign, that is: ip it. If it positive make it negative and if it is negative make it positive. Mathematically, it is the following C++ code example, given that money is an integer variable with a value of 6:
-money money * -1
The above two expressions evaluate to the same value. In the rst line, the value in the variable money is fetched and then it's negated to a negative 6. In the second line, the value in the variable money is fetched and then it's multiplied by negative 1 making the answer a negative 6.
16.2.2.2 Unary Positive Worthless

Simply to satisfy symmetry, the unary positive was added to the C++ programming language as on operator. However, it is a totally worthless or useless operator and is rarely used. following expression is completely valid: However don't be confused the
6 + +5
The second + sign is interpreted as unary positive. The rst + sign is interpreted as addition.
money +money money * +1
For all three lines, if the value stored in money is 6 the value of the expression is 6. Even if the value in money was negative 77 the value of the expression would be negative 77. because multiplying anything by 1 does not change its value. The operator does nothing,
222
16.2.2.3 Possible Confusion

Do not confuse the unary negative operator with decrement. Decrement changes the value in the variable and thus is an Lvalue concept. Unary negative does not change the value of the variable, but uses it in an Rvalue context. It fetches the value and then negates that value. The original value in the variable does not change. Because there is no changing of the value associated with the identier name, the identier name could represent a variable or named constant.

17. Conditional Operator and Recursion

17.1 Conditional Operator1
17.1.1 Overview
The conditional operator is unique in that it has three operands separated by two unconnected operator symbols. All other C++ operators are either unary (one operator and one operand) or binary (one operator and two operands). On the "Abbreviated Precedence Chart for C++ Operators" the conditional operator This prex "tri" means three, thus three operands. has the word "trinary" in the comments column.
C++ Operator ? :
Meaning conditional
Comments trinary three operands with two operators

Table 17.1
As an operator it produces a value for the expression. An easy way to explain the conditional operator is to convert an "if then else" control structure to an expression using the conditional operator.
Example 17.1: if then else
if (age > 17) { cout "You can vote."; } else { cout "You can't vote."; }
Example 17.2: conditional = option 1
age > 17 ? cout
"You can vote." : cout
"You can't vote.";

18. Introduction to Arrays

18.1 Array Data Type1
18.1.1 Overview
An
array is a sequenced collection of elements of the same data type with a single identier name. As such, dimension. Thus a single dimension array is also known as a list. table (a spreadsheet like Excel is a two dimension array).
the array data type belongs to the "Complex" category or family of data types. Arrays can have multiple axes (more than one axis). Each axis is a A two dimension array is commonly known as a
In real life there are occasions to have data organized into multiple dimensioned arrays. Consider a theater ticket with section, row and seat (three dimensions). This module will only cover the single dimension array. Most single dimension arrays are visualized vertically and are often called a list. Most programmers are familiar with a special type of array called a single dimension array of characters. as a horizontal stream of characters and not vertically as a list. length-controlled array and is a pre-dened data class. We refer to the individual values as members (or elements) of the array. Programming languages implement the details of arrays dierently. Because there is only one identier name assigned to the array, we have operators that allow us to reference or access the individual members of an array. The operator commonly associated with referencing array members is the members in an array. array and initialize its members. Additionally, the

18.1.2 Dening an Array in C++

Example:
int ages[5] = {49,48,26,19,16};

This is the
dening of storage space. The square brackets (left [ and right ]) are used here to create
the array with ve integer members and the identier name of ages. The assignment with braces (that is a block) establishes the initial values assigned to the members of the array. Note the use of the sequence or comma operator. We could have done it this way:
int ages[] = {49,48,26,19,16};
By leaving out the ve and having initial values assigned, the compiler will know to create the array with ve storage spaces because there are ve values listed. This method is preferred because we can simply add members to or remove members from the array by changing the items inside of the braces. We could have also done this:
233
234
CHAPTER 18. 18. INTRODUCTION TO ARRAYS

int ages[5];
This would have declared the storage space of ve integers with the identier name of ages but their
initial values would have been unknown values (actually there would be values there but we don't know what they would be and thus think of the values as garbage). We could assign values later in our program by doing this:
ages[0] ages[1] ages[2] ages[3] ages[4]

18.2.1 Array Index Operator in C++
Example:
int ages[5] = {49,48,26,19,16}; int my_age; my_age = ages[2]

This second usage of the square brackets is as the
called the
array notation of dereference or more commonly index operator. As an operator it either provides the value held by the member of the array
(Rvalue) or changes the value of member (Lvalue). In the above example the member that is two osets from the front of the array (the value 26) is assigned to variable named my_age. The dereference operator of [2] means to go the 2
nd oset from the front of the ages array and get the value stored there. In this case
the value would be 26. The array members (or elements) are referenced starting at zero. The more common way for people to reference a list is by starting with one. Many programming languages reference array members starting at one, however for some languages (and C++ is one of them) you will need to

18.3 Displaying Array Members3

18.3.1 Accessing Array Members in C++
Example 18.1: accessing the members of an array
int ages[] = {49,48,26,19,16}; int counter; for (counter = 0, counter < 5, counter++) { cout ages[counter] endl; }
This second usage of the square brackets is as the the
array notation of dereference or more commonly called index operator. As an operator it provides the value held by the member of the array. For example,

18.3.2 Using the Sizeof Operator with Arrays in C++

Example 18.2: using the sizeof operator
int ages[] = {49,48,26,19,16}; int counter; for (counter = 0, counter < sizeof ages / sizeof ages[0], counter++) { cout ages[counter] endl; }
Within the control of the for loop for the displaying of the grades, note that we calculated the number of the members in the array by using the
sizeof ages / sizeof ages[0]
sizeof operator. The expression is:
When you ask for the sizeof an array identier name the answer is how many total bytes long is the array (or in other words how many bytes of storage does this array need to store its values). This will depend
237
on the data type of the array and the number of elements. it tells you how many bytes one member needs.
When you ask for the sizeof one of its members, This method allows for
By dividing the total number of bytes by the size of one
member, we get the answer we want: the number of members in the array.

coding.
By writing the for loop in this fashion, we can change the declaration of the array by adding or
subtracting members and we don't need to change our for loop code.

19. File I/O and Array Functions

19.1 File Input and Output1
19.1.1 Overview of File I/O in C++
We need to understand how to open, read, write and close text les. The following File Input/Output terms are explained:
Text File A le consisting of characters from the ASCII character code set. Text les (also know an
ASCII text les) contain character data. When we create a text le we usually think of it consisting of a series of lines. On each line are several characters (including spaces, punctuation, etc.) and we generally end the line with a return (this a character within the ASCII character code set). The return is also known as the new line character. You are most likely already familiar with the escape code of
\n
which is used within
C++ to indicate a return character when used with in a literal string with the cout. A typical text le consisting of lines can be created by text editors (Notepad) or word processing programs (Microsoft Word). When using a word processor you must usually specify the output le as text (.txt) when saving it. Most
source code les are ASCII text les with a unique le extension; such as C++ using Bloodshed Dev-C++ 5 compiler/IDE) can be used to create ASCII text
.cpp, Pascal using .pas, Cobol using .cob, etc. Thus, most compiler/Integrated Development Environment software packages (such as the les.
Filename The name and its extension. Most operating systems have restrictions on which characters
can be used in lenames. Example for MS-DOS and Windows: Lab_05.txt Because some operating systems do not allow spaces, we suggest that you use the needed for spacing in a lename.
underscore where
Filespec The location of a le along with its lename. It is short for le specication. Most operating
systems have a set of rules on how to specify the drive and directory (or path through several directory levels) along with the lename. Example for MS-DOS and Windows: C:\myles\cosc_1436\Lab_05.txt Because some operating systems do not allow spaces, we suggest that you use the needed when creating folders or sub-directories.
underscore where
Open Your program requesting the operating system to let it have access to an existing le or to open
a new le. Within C++ this is accomplished by including the header le:
<fstream>
File Input/Output is
handled in C++ by using a pre-dened class of data objects, similar to the way string data type is handled. This class of objects has both data type names and functions built to specically accomplish opening and closing a le. Within your program you create a local storage variable with the data type of fstream like this:
fstream inData;
241
242
CHAPTER 19. 19. FILE I/O AND ARRAY FUNCTIONS

This variable will be used to store the device token that the operating system assigns to the le being
opened. Thus, opening a le uses a class member function call like this:
inData.open("C:\\myfiles\\cosc_1436\\Lab_05.txt", ios::in);
device token from the operating
The device
The two parameters passed to the function are the lespec and the method that you want to use the le (in this example as input). The function provides a returning value of a system and it is stored in the variable named inData. It is considered good programming practice to determine if the le was opened properly. token should be a non zero value. It the operating system gives you the value of zero it was not able to open the le. The reason it usually can't open a le is because the lespec is wrong (misspelled or not typed case consistent in some operating systems) or the le is not stored in the location specied. We often test the device token by using an if then control structure with the action consisting of stopping the program if it is true that you got the zero. The rst line of the if then control structure looks like this:
if (!inData)
Don't be misled by the not operator. This reads "if it is true that the token stored in inData is zero". If inData is zero, noting zero is 1 or true.
Read Moving data from a device that has been opened into a memory location dened in your program.
When reading text les that have integer or oating-point constants, the operating systems converts the text symbols to a binary number. The operator used is the extraction or read operator. An example of reading is:
inData cin
next_number next_number
This expression is similar to reading from the standard input device (aka the keyboard): The "cin" is a predened device token associated with the Standard Input and Output devices. For our le reading example you might say, "Go to the device identied by the token stored in the inData variable and read in the next value storing it in the next_number variable within my program".
Write Moving data from a memory location dened in your program to a device that has been opened.
When writing integer or oating-point data types, the operating system converts the binary number into the proper text symbols. The operator used is the insertion or write operator. An example of writing is:
outData
"Total is:
"
total
endl;
This expression is similar to writing to the standard output device (aka the monitor):
cout
"Total is:
"
total
endl;
The "cout" is a predened device token associated with the Standard Input and Output devices. For our le writing example you might say, "Go to the device identied by the token stored in the outData variable and write the items listed (the string constant then the value stored in my program variable named total then the endl or new line or the return character)".
Close Your program requesting the operating system to release a le that was previously opened.
There are two reasons to close a le. First, it releases the le and frees up the associated operation system resources. Second, if closing a le that was opened for output; it will clear the out the operating system's buer and insure that all of the data is physically stored in the output le. Some examples of closing les:
inData.close(); outData.close();

Arrays are an important complex data type used in almost all programming. We continue to concentrate on simple one dimension arrays also called a list. Most programmers develop a series of
user dened specic task functions that can be used with an array for normal processing. These functions are usually passed the
array along with the number of elements within the array. Some of functions also pass another piece of data needed for that particular functions task. This module covers the displaying the array members on the monitor via calling an

We can read the le once to get the element count. Thus, we will know exactly how many members (elements) we will need. 2. We can then create an array using function so that it has The problem resolves around how many elements you should plan for in the array. Let's say 100, but what if the le has fewer or more than 100

code. Since we don't know how many elements will be on the input le when we write the source code
dening an array with global scope will not work. But, we can determine exactly how many members we need for the array by having our program count them (step 1) so that we can then dene the array with local scope to the precise size needed. 3. We can then load the array by reading the le a second time and storing the values read into the array just created. This method is demonstrated in the demo le provided, thus you need to study this material in conjunction with the demo program.

Arrays are an important complex data type used in almost all programming. We continue to concentrate on
user dened specic task functions that can be used with an array for normal processing. These functions are usually passed the
simple one dimension arrays also called a list. Most programmers develop a series of array along with the number of elements within the array. Some of functions also pass another piece of data needed for that particular functions task. This module covers the totaling of the members of an integer array member. The Latin name for totaling is summa sometimes shortened to the word
sum. The array function is often called "sum" and it does
some parameter passing. It passes into the function the common two items of the array: its name along with the number of elements; but it also returns a value representing sum or total of the values within the array. You need to study this module in conjunction with the demo le provided. Other mathematical functions often associated with statistics such as: average, count, minimum, maximum, standard deviation, etc. are often developed for processing arrays.

20. More Array Functions

20.1 Finding a Specic Member of an Array1
20.1.1 Overview
Finding a specic member of an array means searching the array until the member is found. It's possible that the member does not exist and the programmer must handle that possibility within the logic of his algorithm. Two specic searches can be made for the maximum (largest) values in the array or the minimum (smallest) value in the array. Maximum and minimum are also know as max and min. There are two basic ways of searching for a specic value: 1. Linear search 2. Binary search "The linear search is a very simple algorithm. Sometimes called a sequential search, it uses a loop to
sequentially step through an array, starting with the rst element. It compares each element with the value being search for, and stops when either the value is found or the end of the array is encountered. If the value being searched for is not in the array, the algorithm will search to the end of the array."
Binary search is not cover in this module. Linear search and searching for the maximum is demonstrated in the demo le provided, thus you need to study this material in conjunction with the demo program.

If an array is sorted in ascending order, it means the values in the array are stored from lowest to highest. If values are sorted in descending order, they are stored from highest to lowest. Bubble sort works by comparing each element with its neighbor and swapping them it they are not in the desired order."
There are several dierent methods of bubble sorting and some methods are more ecient than others. Most use a pair of nested loops or iteration control structures. One method sets a ag that indicates that the array is sorted, then does a pass and if any elements are exchanged (switched); it sets the ag to indicate that the array is not sorted. It is executed until it makes a pass and nothing is exchanged.

Figure 20.1
The bubble sort gets its name from the lighter bubbles that move or "bubble up" to the top of a glass of soda pop. We move the smaller elements of the array to the top as the larger elements move to the bottom of the array. This can be viewed from a dierent perspective. Using an Italian salad dressing with oil, water and herbs; once shaken you can either: 1. envision the lighter oil rising to the top;
OR
2. envision the heaver water and herbs sinking to the bottom Either way is correct and this version of the code simply demonstrates the sinking to the bottom the heaver or larger elements of the array. Bubble sorting is demonstrated in the demo le provided, thus you need to study this material in conjunction with the demo program.

21.1 Versatile Code with Typedef1
21.1.1 Overview
Everyone seeks of ways to be more ecient in what they do. A farmer uses a tractor instead of a horse. A construction worker uses an air powered nail gun instead of a hammer. Programmers are no dierent than others, in that they are constantly improving their ability to produce correctly working programs. Some aspect of this is the use of modular/structured programming, proper documentation and following industry rules for a specic programming language. One example of ecient coding is letting the computer count the number of elements in an array. If we dene an array:
int ages[] = {33,32,10,3};

This type of
We can use the following expression to calculate the number of members in the array:
sizeof ages / sizeof ages[0]

exible coding allows us to change the members of the array by adding or subtracting a
int ages[] = {57,33,32,3,1};

Thus, we don't have to modify our code that uses the expression that calculates the number of member One use of the

"Every variable is assigned a memory location whose address can be retrieved using the address operator &. The address of a memory location is called a pointer. Every variable in an executing program is allocated a section of memory large enough to hold a value of that variable's type."
2 Thus, whether the variables are
global scope and use the data area for storage or local scope and use the stack for storage; you can ask
the question at what address in the memory does this variable exist. Given an integer variable named age:
int age = 47;

We can use the

address) in the memory by:

A pointer points to the location in memory because the value of a pointer is the address were the data item The address operator is commonly used in two ways: 1. To do parameter passing by reference 2. To establish the value of pointers Both of these items are covered in the supplemental links to this module. You can print out the value of the address with the following code:
cout
&age;
This will by default print the value in hexadecimal. Some people prefer an integer value and to print it as an integer you will need to cast the address into a long data type:
cout
long(&age);
One additional tidbit, an array's name is by denition a pointer to the arrays rst element. Thus:
int iqs[] = {122, 105, 131, 97};

22.2 Parameter Passing by Reference3

22.2.1 Overview
When we pass parameters to functions we usually pass by value; that is the calling function provides several values to the called function as needed. The called function takes these values which have
local scope and
stores them on the stack using them as needed for whatever processing the functions accomplishes. This is the preferred method when calling user dened specic task functions. The called function passes back a single value as the return item if needed. This has the advantage of a
closed communications model
with everything being neatly passed in as values and any needed item returned back as a parameter. By necessity there are two exceptions to this closed communications model: 1. When we need more than one item of information returned by the function 2. When a copy of an argument cannot reasonably or correctly be made (example: le stream objects). These exceptions are handled by parameter passing by reference instead of passing a value. The item passed is called a
reference variable and it represents a concept of an alias for the variable. Any change made to
the reference variable is actually performed on the variable that it represents. The symbol of the ampersand is used to designate the reference variable (and it is associated with the address operator).
Example 22.1: parameter passing by reference
// prototype void process_values(int qty_dimes, int qty_quarters, double &value_dimes, double &value_quarters); // variable definitions int dimes = 45; int quarters = 33; double value_dimes; double value_quarters; // somewhere in the function main process_values(dimes, quarters, value_dimes, value_quarters); // definition of the function void process_values(int qty_dimes, int qty_quarters, double &value_dimes, double &value_quarters); { value_dimes = dimes * 0.10; value_quarters = quarters * 0.25; }

or a pointer. The concept of an address and a pointer are one in the same. A pointer points to the location in memory because the value of a pointer is the address were the data item resides in the memory. Given an integer variable named age:
int age = 47;
We can create a pointer variable and establish its value which would be the done using the

operator [which is the ampersand or &] by:
int * int_pointer = &age;

The
asterisk is used to designate that the variable int_pointer is an integer pointer [int *]. This means

22.4.1 Indirection Operator in C++
When we pass parameters to functions we usually pass by value; that is the calling function provides several values to the called function as needed. The called function takes these values which have
local scope and
stores them on the stack using them as needed for whatever processing the functions accomplishes. This is the preferred method when calling user dened specic task functions. The called function passes back a single value as the return item if needed. This has the advantage of a

When we need more than one item of information returned by the function 2. When a copy of an argument cannot reasonably or correctly be made (example: le stream objects). These exceptions could be handled by parameter passing by reference instead of passing a value. Although dierent syntax than parameter passing when using a the
reference variable; using a pointer variable and indirection operator can accomplish the same eect. The indirection operator is the asterisk or the character that we also use for multiplication. The concept of indirection is also known as dereferencing,
meaning that we are not interested in the pointer but want the item to which the address is referring or referencing.
Example 22.2: parameter passing with pointers
// prototype void process_values(int qty_dimes, int qty_quarters, double * ptr_value_dimes, double * ptr_value_quarte // variable definitions int dimes = 45; int quarters = 33; double value_dimes; double value_quarters; double * ptr_value_dimes = &value_dimes; double * ptr_value_quarters = &value_quarters; // somewhere in the function main process_values(dimes, quarters, ptr_value_dimes, ptr_value_quarters); // definition of the function void process_values(int qty_dimes, int qty_quarters, double * ptr_value_dimes, double * ptr_quarters); { * ptr_value_dimes = dimes * 0.10; * ptr_value_quarters = quarters * 0.25; }
note:
The asterisk and must appear in both the prototype and the function denition when
dening the pointer variables but it does not appear in the function call when the pointers are passed into the function.
269
The above example shows the basic mechanics of the indirection operator. The use of pointers with indirection is often preferred for processing arrays. The is also known as the
int ages[] = {47, 45, 18, 11, 9}; cout ages[3]; cout *(ages + 3);

The both say, "The name of an array is a pointer; take the pointer and calculate a new address that points to the 3
rd oset by adding the correct number of bytes onto the pointer (integer data type is normally
4 bytes long 3 osets times 4 bytes is 12 bytes); then dereference that pointer (since this is an Rvalue context fetch me the value that you are pointing at) and send it to the standard output device." You should study the demonstration programs in conjunction with this module.

We refer to the individual values as members (or elements) of the array. Programming languages implement the details of arrays dierently. Because there is only one identier name assigned to the array, we have operators that allow us to reference or access the individual members of an array. The operator commonly associated with referencing an
array member is the index operator. It is oset from the front of the array.
important to learn how to dene an array and initialize its members. The index operator is a set of square brackets with an integer value between the brackets that represents the Multidimensional arrays use one set of square brackets per dimension or axis of the array. For example a table which has two dimensions would use two sets of square brackets to dene the array variable and two sets of square brackets for the index operators to access the members of the array. Because of the complexity for multidimensional arrays, the demonstration program shows a two dimension array and you should study it in conjunction with this module.

23.2 Conditional Compilation3

23.2.1 Overview
As you proceed in your programming career, the problems/tasks that need solving become more complex. The documentation of the algorithm done in pseudo code (or some other method) will still need to be converted into a programming solution. Inevitably, when writing that source code mistakes will be introduced. When learning the syntax of a new programming language, programmers sometimes automatically think in their old language syntax, and make mistakes that are sometimes hard to detect. The concept of using a ag to either activate or have remain dormant certain lines of code designed solely to help with the debugging of a program has existed since almost the beginning of modern computer programming (1950's). One of the debugging tools available within C++ is our ag, we would use a dened constant like:
conditional compilation. For
#define DEBUG 1
Then using another compiler directive pair, the #if and #endif, we can have the compiler during the pre-processor either include or not include one or more lines of code.
#if DEBUG cout "\n***** DEBUG Code ** Hi mom!"; #endif

Of course saying "Hi mom!" is not very useful for debugging your code. However, you can use test data with conditional compilation. A series of input data values and a series of output predictors can be placed in the program. Then you can turn on the debug feature or turn them o with your debugging ag. You should study the demonstration program in conjunction with this module.

24.1 Object Oriented Programming1
24.1.1 Discussion
"In procedural programming, the programmer constructs procedures (or functions, as they are called in C++). The procedures are collections of programming statements that perform a specic task. The procedures each contain their own variables and commonly share variables with other procedures. Procedural programming is centered on the procedure or function." programming was taught as
2 For decades (1950s to through the 1980s) most
control structures in the late 1960s, we have what is typically called
procedural programming. Coupled with the imposition of using standardized modular structured programming. Another, equally valid approach to programming is object-oriented programming or OOP. It was
introduced in the mid 1980s and was widely accepted as a programming approach by the early 1990s. The rst languages to introduce OOP to the masses were C++ and Java. Shortly after their introduction, there were American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards established for those languages. Today, C++ and Java are widely used. "The primary dierences between the two approaches is their use of data. In a procedural program, the design centers around the rules or procedures for processing the data. The procedures, implemented as functions in C++, are the focus of the design. The data objects are passed to the functions as parameters. The key question is how the functions will transform the data they receive for either storage or further processing. Procedural programming has been the mainstay of computer science since its beginning and is still heavily used today. In an object-oriented program, abbreviated OOP, the design centers around objects that contain (encapsulate) the data and the necessary functions to process the data. In OOP, the objects own the functions that process the data."
"Object-oriented programming
...
is centered on the object. An object is a programming element that
contains data and the procedures that operate on the data. The objects contain, within themselves, both the information and the ability to manipulate the information."
To help complicate the picture, the C++ programming language can be used (and is used) to write either a procedural program (modular structured program) or an object-oriented program. Some items used by those writing procedural programs in C++ are in fact objects. Examples include:

The common way of teaching programming fundamentals is to cover them or divide them into three courses, usually covered in this order: 1. Modular structured 2. Object-oriented 3. Data structures The following items learned in modular structured programming ow into the learning of object-oriented programming: 1. The standard and complex data types are the same 2. The operators are the same, thus data manipulation is the same 3. The control structures are the same 4. Concepts of documentation and making code readable are the same 5. The use of test data to verify logical thinking and program results is similar

24.2 Understanding High Performance Computing5

24.2.1 Preface November 13, 2009
2008-'09 Open Education Cup: High Performance Computing competition. The competition was supervised by Dr. Jan Erik Odegard, Executive Director
This module was created as an entry for the of the Ken Kennedy Institute for Information Technology at Rice University. It was submitted to the "Parallel Algorithms and Applications" category and specically designed as an introduction to the subject targeting intermediate grade school students to collegiate undergraduates who have little knowledge of High Performance Computing (HPC). This module received the
"Best Module" award for the "Parallel Algorithms and Applications" category
which included a US $500 prize. Those who reviewed the entries for the competition made some suggestions for improvement and most have been incorporated into this revised edition of the module. As always; my thanks to them and all others who make suggestions for improving educational materials. Kenneth Leroy Busbee

24.2.2 Introduction to High Performance Computing

Grouping multiple computers or multiple computer processors to accomplish a task quicker is referred to as
High Performance Computing (HPC). We want to explain how this is accomplished using parallel
programming algorithms or concepts.
24.2.2.1 The Shift from a Single Processor to Parallel

We are going to start our explanation by giving two simple examples.
Example 24.1
After eating all you can, you toss your chicken leg bone out of the car window (shame on you for trashing up the highway), but in short order an ant nds your tossed chicken bone. One single ant could bite o the left over on the bone and transport it to the colony, one bite at a time; but, it might take him 1 whole day (24 hours) of work. But, what if he gets help? He signals some buddies and being a small colony of ants they allocate a total of 10 ants to do the task. Ten times the workers take one tenth the time. The ten ants do the task in 2 hours and 24 minutes. I toss another bone out the window. An ant nds it and the colony allocates 50 ants to do the task of picking the bone clean. In less than 30 minutes (28.8 to be exact) the 50 ants working in parallel complete the task.
Example 24.2
One painter might take 8 hours to paint the exterior of an average sized house. But, if he can put a crew of 10 painters working simultaneously (or in other words in parallel) it takes only 48 munities. What about a crew of 50 painters assuming that they can do work and not get in the way of each other; well how about less than 10 minutes (9.6 to be exact). Now let's make sure we understand that the same amount of work was done in the examples given. The work was only completed in a shorter amount of time because we put more workers on the task. Not all tasks can be divided up in this way, but when it can be divided between multiple workers, we can take advantage of the workers doing their sub part of the task in parallel. Let's look at another example.
Example 24.3
I want to drive from Houston, Texas to Dallas, Texas; a distance of about 250 miles. For easy calculations let's say I can travel 50 miles in one hour. It would take me 5 hours. Well, I could divide the task between 5 cars and have each car travel 50 miles and arrive in Dallas in 1 hour. Right? Well, wrong. The task of driving from Houston to Dallas cannot be divided into tasks that can be done in parallel. The task can only be done by one person driving in a line from Houston to Dallas in 5 hours. I used the word "line" because it helps connect us to the word: with linear concept is
linear. A linear task cannot be broken-up into
smaller tasks to be done in parallel by multiple workers. Within the computer world, the word associated
sequential processing. I must drive one mile at a time in sequence to get to Dallas.
Our natural tendency is to share the work that is to work in parallel whenever it is possible. As a group we can accomplish many tasks that can be done in parallel in less time.
24.2.2.2 The Birth of Computers A "Parallel" to Central Processing Unit (CPU) Story
ENIAC, short for Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer, was the rst general-purpose electronic computer (July 1946). It was the rst Turing-complete, digital computer capable of being reprogrammed to solve a full range of computing problems. ENIAC had twenty ten-digit signed accumulators which used ten's complement representation and could perform 5,000 simple addition or subtraction operations between any of them and a source (e.g., another accumulator, or a constant transmitter) every second. It was possible to connect several accumulators to run simultaneously, so the peak speed of operation was potentially much higher due to parallel operation. (ENIAC from Wikipedia)
282

Often not understood by many today, the rst computer used base 10 arithmetic in the electronics and
was a
parallel processing machine by using several accumulators to improve the speed. However, this did
not last for long. During its construction: The First Draft of a Report (commonly shortened to First Draft) on the EDVAC Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer was an incomplete 101 page document written by John von Neumann and distributed on June 30, 1945 by Herman Goldstine, security ocer on the classied ENIAC project. It contains the rst published description of the logical design of a computer using the stored-program concept, which has come to be known as the von Neumann architecture. (First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC from Wikipedia) The von Neumann architecture is a design model for a stored-program digital computer that uses a [central] processing [unit] and a single separate storage structure to hold both instructions and data. It is named after the mathematician and early computer scientist John von Neumann. Such computers implement a universal Turing machine and have a sequential architecture. (Von Neumann architecture from Wikipedia) Von Neumann also proposed using a binary (base 2) numbering system for the electronics. One of the characteristics of the von Neumann architecture was the trade o of multiple processors using base 10 electronics to a single central processor using base 2 (or digital) electronics. To compare to our ant example, the idea was to use one real fast ant versus 10 slow ants. If one real fast ant can do 1,000 tasks in an hour; it would be more powerful (be able to do more tasks) than 10 ants doing 10 tasks an hour or the equivalent of 100 tasks per hour. The rest is history most commercially built computers for about the rst forty years (1951 to 1991) followed the von Neumann architecture. The electronic engineers keep building more reliable and faster electronics. From vacuum tube, to transistor, to integrated circuit to what we call today "chip" technology. This transformation made computers break down less frequently (they were more reliable), physically smaller, needing less electric power and faster. Personal computers were introduced in the late 1970's and within ten years became more commonly available and used. One short coming was that most programming eorts were towards improving the linear (or sequential) way of thinking or solving a problem. After all, the computer electronic engineers would be making a faster computer next year. Everyone understood that the computer had only one Right?
central processing unit (CPU).
24.2.2.3 The Need for Power

Well, wrong. Computer scientists and electronic engineers had been computers with parallel programming since 1946. computers. It's time for another example.
experimenting with multi-processor
But it's not until the 1980's that we see the rst par-
allel processing computers (built by Cray and other computer companies) being sold as commercial built
Example 24.4
The circus traveling by train from one city to the next has an elephant that dies. They decide to toss the elephant o the train (shame on them for trashing up the country side), but in short order a "super" ant (faster than most regular ants) nds the elephant. This project is much larger than your tossed chicken bone. One single "super" ant could do the task (bite o a piece of the elephant and transport it to the colony, one bite at a time); but, it might take one whole year. After all this requires a lot more work than a chicken bone. But, what if he gets help? He signals some buddies and being a large colony of "super" ants they allocate a total of 2,190 ants to do the task. Wow, they devour the elephant in six hours. This elephant example is exactly where the computer scientists had arrived. The electronic engineers were going to continue to make improvements in the speed of a single central processing unit computer, but
immense computing power. Some of the new tasks that would require immense computer power included the human genome
not soon enough to satisfy the "need for power" to be able to solve tasks requiring project, searching for oil and gas by creating 3 dimensional images of geological formations and the study of gravitational forces in the universe; just to mention a few. The solution: parallel processing to the
283
rescue. Basically the only way to get this immense computer power was to implement parallel processing techniques. During the late 1970's and early 1980's scientists saw the need to explore the parallel processing paradigm more fully and thus the birth of High Performance Computing. Various national and international conferences started during the 1980's to be able to further the cause of High Performance Computing. For example in November of 2008 the "SC08" supercomputing conference celebrated their 20
th anniversary.
The predicting of the weather is a good example for the need of High Performance Computing. Using the fastest central processing unit computer it might take a year to predict tomorrow's weather. The information would be correct but 365 days late. Using parallel processing techniques and a powerful "high performance computer", we might be able to predict tomorrow's weather in 6 hours. Not only correct, but in time to be useful.
24.2.2.4 Measuring Computer Power

Most people are familiar with the giga hertz (billions of instructions per second) measure to describe how fast a single CPU's processor is running. Most microcomputers of today are running around 3 GHz or 3 billion instructions a second. Although 3 billion sounds fast, many of these instructions are simple operations. Supercomputing uses a measurement involving oating point arithmetic calculations as the benchmark for comparing computer power. "In computing, point
FLOPS (or ops or op/s) is an acronym meaning FLoating Operations Per Second." and again "On May 25, 2008, an American military supercomputer built by
IBM, named 'Roadrunner', reached the computing milestone of one petaop by processing more than 1.026 quadrillion calculations per second." (FLOPS from Wikipedia) For those of us not familiar:
Example 24.5: Getting a Sense of Power
3 billion or 3 GHz is: 3,000,000,000 1 quadrillion or 1 pedaflop is: 1,000,000,000,000,000

You also should realize that your personal computer is not doing 3 gigafolp worth of calculations, but something slower when using the FLOPS measurement.
24.2.2.5 High Performance Computing Made Personal

It took several years (about 30) to get computers to a personal level (1951 to 1981). It took about twenty years (late 1980's to present 2009) to get multi-processor computers to the personal level. Currently available to the general public are computers with "duo core" and "quad core" processors. In the near future, micro computers will have 8 to 16 core processors. People ask, "Why would I need that much computer power?" There are dozens of applications, but I can think of a least one item that almost everyone wants: high quality voice recognition. That's right! I want to talk to my computer. Toss your mouse, toss your keyboard, no more touch pad talk to it. Again, one short coming is that most programming eorts have been towards teaching and learning the sequential processing way of thinking or solving a problem. Educators will now need to teach and programmers will now need to develop skills in programming using parallel concepts and algorithms.
24.2.2.6 Summary
We have bounced you back and forth between sequential and parallel concepts. We covered our natural
tendency to do work in parallel. But with the birth of computers the parallel concepts were set to the side and the computer industry implemented a faster single processor approach (sequential). We explained the limitations of sequential processing and the need for computing power. Thus, the birth of High Performance Computing. Parallel processing computers are migrating into our homes. With that migration, there is a great need to educate the existing generation and develop the next generation of scientists and programmers to be able to take advantage of High Performance Computing.

24.2.3 Learner Appropriate Activities

High Performance Computing is impacting how we do everything. Learning, working, even our relaxation and entertainment are impacted by HPC. To help more people understand HPC, I have listed appropriate activities based on where a learner is in relation to their programming skills.
24.2.3.1 Computer Literacy but No Programming Skills

We have provided two computer programs that help students see the impact of parallel processing. The
rst is a "Linear to Parallel Calculator" where the student enters how long it would take one person to complete a task, asks how many people will work as a group on the task, then calculates how long it will take the group to complete the task. The second is a "Parallel Speed Demonstration Program" that simulates parallel processing. It displays to the monitor the rst 60 factorial numbers in 60 seconds, then shows as if 10 processors are doing it in 6 seconds, then as if 100 processors are doing it in less than 1 second. Both are compiled and ready for use on an Intel CPU machine (compiled for use on Windows OS). Download the executable le from Connexions: Linear to Parallel Calculator
Download the executable le from Connexions: Parallel Speed Demonstration Program via Internet connections for parallel processing.
An interesting activity would be to join a group that is using thousands of personal microcomputers Several distributed processing projects are listed in the "FLOPS" article on Widipedia. One such group is the "Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search - GIMPS".

24.2.3.3 Upper Division Under-Graduate College Students

The challenge is to try parallel computing, not just talk about it. During the week of May 21st to May 26th in 2006, this author attended a workshop on Parallel and Distributed Computing. introduced The workshop was given by the National Computational Science Institute and The conference emphasized several important points related to the
parallel programming using multiple computers (a group of micro computers grouped or
clustered into a super-micro computer). computer industry:
1. During the past few years super-micro computers have become more powerful and more available. 2. Desk top computers are starting to be built with multiple processors (or cores) and we will have multiple (10 to 30) core processors within a few years. 3. Use of super-micro computing power is wide spread and growing in all areas: engineering applications, 3D animation for computer games and education, etc. 4. There is a shortage of educators, scientic researchers, and computer professionals that know how to manage and utilize this developing resource. Computer professionals needed include: Technicians that know how to create and maintain a super-micro computer; and Programmers that know how to create computer applications that use parallel programming concepts. This last item was emphasized to those of you beginning a career in computer programming that as you progress in your education, you should be aware of the changing nature of computer programming as a profession. Within a few years scientic research,
all professional programmers will have to be familiar with parallel
programming.
During the conference this author wrote a program that sorts an array of 150,000 integers using two dierent approaches. The rst way was without parallel processing. When it was compiled and executed The second way was to redesign the When it was compiled and That's using a single machine, it took 120.324 seconds to run (2 minutes).
program so parts of it could be run on several processors at the same time. approximately 6 times faster. Thus,
executed using 11 machines within a cluster of micro-computers, it took 20.974 seconds to run.
parallel programming will become a necessity to be able to utilize the multi-processor hardware of the near future.
A distributed computing environment was set up in a normal computer lab using a Linix operating system stored on a CD. After booting several computers with the CD, the computers can communicate with each other with the support of "Message Passing Interface" or MPI commands. This model known as the Bootable Cluster CD (BCCD) is available from: Bootable Cluster CD University of Northern Iowa at: http://www.bccd.net/ lename.

26.1 Abbreviated Precedence Chart for C++ Operators1
An
operator is a language-specic syntactical token (one or more symbols) that causes an action to be
taken on one or more operands. The following item provides an abbreviated list of those C++ operators that are typically taught in a programming fundamentals course that teaches modular structured programming concepts. The rst column shows the precedence (the higher precedence is 1 or it goes rst) and operators that have the same precedence also have the same associativity (the associativity is only listed once for the group of operators). Decrement is two minus signs, but some word processing software programs might have problems printing two minus signs and convert it to a double dash. Insertion (two (two

signs) might also have printing problems. These printing problems are noted in the comments with

26.2 C++ Reserved Keywords2

All programming languages have "reserved words". There are usually less than 50 of these reserved words in any given programming language. They are reserved because they have been pre-assigned a specic meaning within that programming language, thus the compiler recognizes those words to mean a specic thing or action. Within C++ the reserved words are also known as "keywords". Programmers use identier names for a variety of items, to include: functions, variables, named constants, alias names, etc. But, they can't use as identier names the words that are "reserved to the language". For the C++ language all "reserved keywords" are typed in lower case. The list that follows includes the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) lists of reserved words for the C++ programming language. The ISO reserved words may not be implemented in the compiler that you are using, however they may be adopted in future releases of C++ compilers. Wisdom dictates to avoid using them at this point so that there will not be a problem compiling your source code in future releases of compilers. There has been no distinction made in the ANSI or ISO reserved word lists. A search of the Internet for C++ reserved words will reveal several dierent lists. Some are more unique to a specic compiler. Some will be incomplete because the list has been enlarged. The talbe that follows should work for any beginning programming course using C++. The reserved keywords are:

26.3 ASCII Character Set3

ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange (pronounced "ask-key"). Computers can only understand numbers, so an ASCII code is the numerical representation of a character such as 'a' or '@' or an action of some sort. ASCII was developed a long time ago and now the non-printing characters are rarely used for their original purpose. non-printing characters. Several software products can be used to create an ASCII text le. The rst 32 values (0 to 31) and the last value (127) are the
Notepad within Windows OS and it uses by default the .txt extension. Microsoft Word by saving the le as 'text only' and it uses by default the .txt extension. Integrated Development Environment (IDE) compliers for most programming languages usually save source code as ASCII text les but they will use an extension that describes the content of the text le. Example: C++ usually uses .cpp as the extension.

26.5 Academic or Scholastic Dishonesty12

26.5.1 Introduction
The relationship between faculty and students has always been one of open and honest communication. The faculty member carries the responsibility of presenting course materials via reading assignments, lectures, labs, etc. The student is to learn and understand these materials. Additionally, the faculty members employ various methods to assess the student's mastery of the course materials. Frequently this is done via quizzes, tests, writing assignments, the completion of lab materials, etc. Scholastic Dishonesty) is the violation of that trust. Cheating on quizzes and tests as well as plagiarism is usually well understood by students before arriving at the collegiate level of education. Most colleges include adequate explanation in their student handbook explaining well what constitutes cheating on exams and plagiarism. Academic dishonesty often carries some sti penalties. Usually, the student receives the grade of F from the professor in the course in which he is enrolled. The student might be expelled from all of their classes for which they are currently enrolled (F in all of your classes) and expelled from the institution (may not register for classes in the future). Sounds harsh, but it is a violation of the Academic dishonesty (sometimes called
bond of trust between the student and the educational institution.
26.5.2 Collusion
Another category of academic dishonesty is collusion which is the unauthorized collaboration with another person in preparing written work (including lab assignments) oered for credit (counting towards your grade calculation). To better understand collusion, students need to realize that as part of the learning and evaluation of that learning, many professors use group projects; a directed or authorized collaboration. Often students are encouraged to form study groups to help discuss the course materials thus improving the learning process. These authorized and sometimes directed activities are not collusion. The following discussion is to help the student understand collusion (unauthorized collaboration) with specic reference to courses that use computers. This is not an all inclusive list, but will cover the common situations that faculty have encountered over the years. Unless your specic professor informs you dierently, you are to assume that the following items discussed are collusion.
26.5.3 Type it Yourself

Lab assignments are to be your own personal typing eorts. That is you are to type them or make the modications yourself to the les (documents, spreadsheets, databases, programming source code, etc.) If your course is a programming subject, you are to run the source code le on your compiler, making corrections as need to complete the lab assignment. If the directions for an assignment include starting a new le then
Unless specically authorized by your professor, students should not complete computerized course work as a team or group and then share the nal completed product.
don't use an existing le and modify it to complete the assignment. Students have said that they worked as a team or group and that all participated and all learned the materials. Don't try this excuse because professors don't buy it. Here is the problem: Part of the learning process is in you doing it yourself. Example: I ask two students to make me some pancakes for breakfast; I expect two individually prepared plates of pancakes (one from each of them) for my breakfast. The professor really does not want to eat two plates of pancakes (or 50 to 100 plates of pancakes, depending on how many students they are teaching), but part of your directed learning activity for the course is to demonstrate that you can make pancakes (not watch someone else make pancakes or participate as a group to make pancakes).
306
APPENDIX
26.5.4 Control Access to Your Files

Controlling the les you create (or are directed to modify) means that others will not have access to copy your work. In other words, don't share your les. Students have said that they shared the le so they the other student could see how the completed assignment should look. Don't try this excuse because professors don't buy it. Here is the problem: When you share the le you share your typing eorts (or your original work and your eorts to create that original work). Back to our pancake example: I only gave the other student a plate of completed pancakes, so he could see what the end product should be. All the other student does is add some blue berries and whip cream. If a student makes minor modications to your work (changes the spots where his name is at) and
Unless specically authorized by your professor, don't share any les that you create or modify with another student ever, not now and not in the future.
turns it in as his work you will be included in the charge of academic dishonesty. Here are two suggestions for controlling access to your les: When using a course delivery software product or learning system, such as BlackBorad Vista, don't give another person your password. With the password, they will have access to your submitted assignments including the les that you created. Don't leave your les on a machine where others may have access to them. If multiple students are using or have access to the same machine (often happens with students living in the same household husband/wife, siblings or roommates) or in an on-campus course where many students will have access to the machine
store your les on a ash drive. Physically control who gets access to your ash drive.
26.5.5 Ask for a Clarication of the Collaboration

If you have any question about an activity that might be construed as unauthorized collaboration, ask your professor. They will provide clarication and direction to you about the activity. Students have said that they did not understand or think that it was unauthorized collaboration. Don't try this excuse because professors don't buy it way in which students can collude.
The burden is for you to ask for any clarication for the specic
Here is the problem: We can't, and won't list every minor
course from your professor. Don't assume that what another instructor allowed in another course will
be allowed by this professor in this course.
26.5.6 Detecting Academic Dishonesty

Professors weren't born yesterday. collusion are not new to us. settings is often astounding. Students have said that they did not think they could be detected or that academic dishonesty could not be proved. Don't try this approach because professors believe that they are slightly smarter. Actually, we know that we are a lot smarter. It amazes us that student don't realize that professors are a formidable force. The faculty members of most institutions have individually years and Cheating on tests, plagiarism and collectively thousands of years at understanding academic dishonesty. We share our expertise with each other at detecting academic dishonesty.
Additionally, the years of technical computer experience of professors who teach using computers in lab

26.6 Successful Learning Skills13

26.6.1 Realize the Time Commitment
College computer courses often are listed in the catalog of courses with both lecture and lab hours. But unlike the natural and biological sciences (chemistry, physics and biology) that must meet in a specic lab room designed for those courses, students can usually complete their lab portions at a variety of locations (the college's computer lab, home, work, public library, friend's house, etc.). The normal rule of thumb is 1 to 1.5 hours out of class studying for every hour in class and for computer courses this normally means both the lecture and lab hours. Students with learning disabilities or those whose primary language is not English will want to plan for more study time and should use a larger ratio. Thus, you should calculate the weekly hours of commitment needed for a course depending on your circumstances. Example: If a student is taking a 4 credit hour computer course that the college catalog says contains a combination of 6 hours (adding your lecture and lab hours) during a regular 16 week semester; the weekly classroom and study time for that course would be 12 to 15 hours a week. But many students take courses at a faster pace by either taking a course between semesters in a very concentrated mode, starting a course after the regular start of a semester or during the summer. To calculate the weekly study time needed you will need to calculate the total regular semester instructional time and divide by the number of weeks in the faster pace delivery. Example: Our 4 credit hour course is to be taken during a summer term that has 9 weeks of instruction time. The total regular semester time would be 15 times the normal semester commitment (180 to 225 hours). Dividing it by 9 would mean 20 to 25 hours per week.
26.6.2 Understand Your Capacity to Concentrate

You cannot expect to spend long periods of time working on computer course materials. After 3 to 4 hours of working on course materials, your ability to learn drops signicantly (and for most to near zero). This problem is compounded by the nature of the material which is cumulative in nature. This means that you must understand item a before you try to learn item b. All of the math and sciences courses of study are of this nature.
26.6.3 Plan Regular Study Times

The combination of the time commitment and your ability to concentrate leads to the conclusion that you cannot cram your study time into a week-end of concentrated study. You must break up your study time into 3 to 4 hour study periods doing only one study period per day. You must establish a regular routine for each week. Students taking a regular semester course on-campus will count their class (lecture and lab) time and plan 2 to 3 additional study periods. If taking a course via distance education, students need to plan for all of the course time, thus during a regular semester term, our 4 credit hour course example would require 3 to 4 study periods with 3 to 4 hours for each study period per week. If taking the course at schedule more study times. This may mean a only one day o as a day of rest). You need to stay on top of a course to successfully complete it. through course materials are rarely "A" students. Pacing yourself with multiple study times allows for eective learning. Students who procrastinate until close to an exam and then try cramming

APPENDIX
26.6.4 Learning Requires Variety and Repetition
309
Variety comes in many forms and includes lecture, lab assignments, studying textbooks, multi-media materials, quizzes, writing a research papers, learning activities such as group discussions, crossword puzzles, ash cards, etc. This variety actually helps our brain to understand and build memory. In addition to variety, repetition (exposure over multiple study periods) is essential for our brains to be able to learn and recall the course materials. Again, this understanding and recall are essential to courses that require cumulative learning (you must understand item a before you can learn item b). Textbooks and professors break-up course materials into chapters or learning modules often with learning objectives rst and review items at the end of each unit. Each chapter or module might have any of the above mentioned items. But doing things and study are dierent. You can't just show up to class and listen, you can't just read stu, you need to study. Study requires a variety of activities. Ask yourself:
Do you understand each learning objective? Can you explain or formulate an answer for each learning objective? If you did not understand the reading materials, did you re-read it? Do the review items (especially questions). Take lecture notes. Do the lecture notes or handouts give you a better understanding than the textbook? Often the problems or lab assignments are to be studied in conjunction with and reinforce the study materials. Have you tried to do and understand the problems or lab assignments? Are there any learning activities available and if yes, did you do them. Did you consider using 3x5 cards to study denitions and vocabulary? Did you review the learning objectives before taking any quizzes? If the quizzes are computerized, did you study your quiz results? After reviewing quiz results and re-study, did you retake the quiz again if available?
All of this requires time and eort on your part as the student in any course (distance education or oncampus). You need several study periods a week to learn the materials in any course. The purpose of a quiz is for you to self assess your understanding of the materials. If your learning is not complete,
change or
modify your learning habits.
26.6.5 Interact with the Other Students

In a normal classroom students interact with each other. They often form study groups with other students and meet regularly to help each other study materials. These interactions in most cases are essential to the learning process. If your only interaction is by private conversation or private email with the instructor, you are not fully participating in the course. For distance education students, most learning systems (such as Blackboard Vista) provide several tools to create this interaction. They typically include announcements, discussion list, email and chat tools.

26.6.7 Attend Class and Take Notes

Taking lecture notes and being able to review those note later when you are studying provides variety that is needed to learn material. Just writing the notes down more actively engages the brain, because you are listening and writing. But you need to arrange with at least two fellow classmates that you will all take notes
310
APPENDIX
and share notes with each other if absent. In addition to course materials, other administrative matters are discussed in class (such as the announcement of exam date change). If you are taking a distance education course, you need to regularly enter the learning management system (such as Blackboard Vista) and review the announcements, discussion list postings and read (and answer if appropriate) email. Most distance education professors assume that anything he has communicated via these tools will have been read by the student within 3 days. In short this means you are responsible for having read the items and completing any action requested.
