Preparing CS201 for Midterm

 

First two lectures are the introductory then in third lecture carefully understands the data types. These are the important one.

From chapter 5 to 9 you must understand the syntax and working of if, ifelse, switch statement and while, dowhile, for loop. These are very very important as there will surely a 5 marks or 10 marks question in the midterm paper from these. Best way to study these are, you learn the syntax, read out the working through flow chart and then do examples given in the handouts.

Then most important thing “function” is next. There can be a objective type question of 1 or 2 marks and question of 5 or 10 marks to write small program using function.  So you must carefully understand how functions work. What is function prototype, how to declare function, what function definition is and how to call it. Do example given in handouts.

Here comes array. Gain important and very useful tool of C++. Give it your good time and understand it keenly. Write the code of all examples and do array comparison at page 115. If you feel multidimensional array difficult than simply leave it and move to chapter 14 pointers.
Chapter 15 and 16 are important to understand the basic working and implementation of pointers. Pages # 158 to 170 are important regarding pointers.

You can skip chapter # 17 to 19 (strings and file). But it is up to you. There may be a question from these chapters in exams. Then from chapter 20 do “structure”. There may be a question in paper to write syntax of structure or write structure for given condition.

But as the vu exam is automatic shuffling system so nobody can guess what will be the paper.
