Class Session 6
Topics
  • Review solutions to prior week's coding assignments
  • Decision Structures (Zelle 3e - Chapter 7)
Required Readings
  • Zelle 3e - Chapter 7 (Decision Structures) PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately, the main sample program in this chapter gets needlessly bogged down with math. If you are a math fan, then I suspect that you will enjoy the sample program and the chapter. Nevertheless, if you are not a math fan, please don't let the math in this chapter distract you. My lecture is based on a supplemental set of examples that I created for this chapter (see below). Also, remember that Severance Chapter 3 covers this same material without using such math-heavy examples.

Lab Session
On Sunday mornings from 11:00 AM till 12:00 PM, I will be holding an optional Lab Session using Zoom. Please drop by to ask a question, to discuss solutions to previous assignments, to get help with the current assignment, to discuss the final project, or just to say hello. Please use a headset while participating.
