Lab 1

Your first programming assignment will be a series of basic exercises to make sure that your setups are working correctly. Make sure you understand the whole IO (input-output) process of any program, similar to an algebraic equation. Problems 2 and 3 both requires that you can input ANYTHING and get the corresponding output as defined by the problem, not just match my examples.

Problem 2 is an exercise to check that you understand the concept of variable types. You should be able to input any character or integer and get what you entered out. Every run of the program will have a total of two inputs.

Problem 3 on any lab tends to be a challenge question, and will require some thinking outside the box, but still very doable. For this first lab, it won't be a challenge.

Remember: on ANY AND ALL assignment, you're not allowed to use any topic or technique I haven't covered in class yet!

CHECKING OFF LABS (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED): For every single lab assignment, you can get them checked off by me during lab hours. At any point when you think you've completed the lab during class time, call for me and if I deem your lab to be complete, I'll mark you off as having completed the lab and you WON'T have to submit it online. Instant 100%. Even if I don't mark you off right then and there, you'll still have received useful feedback from me to fix your programs (there's no limit to how many times you can call for me to check your lab). While you're allowed to submit labs online via Canvas later (or just submit them early and not come into class at all), the risk with not getting your labs checked off by me is that you're not guaranteed a full score due to lingering mistakes you may have made or missed a requirement in the directions.
