Fall A 2024, Siena College
Meeting 2: C Essentials
Date: Wednesday, September 11, 2024
Agenda
- Announcements
- Lab 1: Introduction to Unix and C now past due, sample solutions video coming soon
- Tip: When programming in a new language, it's important to make
sure you have your logic correct before trying to code it in the new
language. It's sometimes worth writing, debugging, and testing the
program in a familiar language then doing a translation.
- Readings for next time: K&R Ch. 2 and 3
- this is mostly familiar for Java programmers (after all, Java
stole a whole bunch of its syntax from C), please at least skim
through it, though
- Introduction to Assessment 1: [PDF], due in 1 week
- Today: Lab 2: C Essentials
