CSC 209 schedule

C data types (May 31)

C data types; pointers and arrays
References in King:
- more of chapter 7
- chapters 11 and 12
- chapter 8.1 to the extent you don't already know it
- (multidimensional arrays aren't anything too new in C, given that you know them in other programming languages; how they work with pointers is kinda new, but not extremely, and I don't think I'm going to go into that in this course, although you're quite welcome to ask in office hours or by e-mail if you have any questions about that)
Basic printf: part of the notes about printf and scanf (probably doing scanf after strings; just basic printf at first here)
