The midterm exam date: 8 December 2010, Wednesday. The exam has two parts. The first part is a closed book written exam. The second part is a programming practice exam. You should bring your notebooks, text books and other related materials to the exam. The notebook, textbook and notes sharing in the exam will not be allowed.

In your first assignments, your programs did not follow the recommended C style and coding techniques. We tried to give you some important ones in the lab sessions and class. But there are also many other important principles for writing good C programs. Actually, you will use many of these principles in your other programming languages, like Java, that you will learn later. This is very important to develop good programming skills.

Some good reference guides are given below at the References section. These are in the PDF file format, so you need the Acrobat Reader program to read these files.

Please start reading these two files and use these principles in your programs. If your programs are not written following the C style and coding techniques, generally they will not be graded or your grade will be affected very much!

Please come to the computer lab with your notebooks. You will write, compile and execute the programs you have seen in class in the DevC++ environment.
