=============================
CMSI 185 Computer Programming
Preparation for Quiz 1
To be held 2009-02-26
=============================

The quiz will take up the entire period.  It will be open
everything --- the only rule is that you cannot solicit help,
nor look at or take pictures of anyone else's exam, etc.
You can not give help either.

This review page is a summary of the topics we've covered so
far in class; material from course notes, lectures, and
Chapters 1-4 in David Eck's book. The quiz will contain 10 
questions on topics from this list.  There will be short answer
questions, questions asking you to find an error in code,
and questions asking you to write code.

It certainly would not hurt to make sure you have read Chapters 1-4
in the book,  

And remember, the only way to become adept at programming is to
practice, so running programs from the book, and writing and testing
modifications to them is crucial.
