Math 10 -- Midterm II Review

Midterm II Review

Based on questions used on Midterm II, Fall 1997.

Can you answer simple true and false statements about Fortran-90, C++, or theoretical issues, such as, how bubblesort or selection sort works?
Do you know the default variable types in Fortran?
Can you translate a simple DO-loop from Fortran into a for loop in C++?
Can you name equivalent structures/features in C++ and Fortran?
Can you define a simple C++ class?
Can you "play computer" and interpret simple Fortran code, reading in data from an input file by means of READ and FORMAT statements?
With regard to the ways that parameters are passed between a calling (sub)program and a function(subroutines), do you understand the difference between C++ value parameters, C++ variable parameters (which are the same as Fortran call by address), and Fortran call-by-value-result parameters?
Can you interpret a section of Fortran code and output data correctly, following the information in a FORMAT statements (and carefully interpreting the carriage control column information)?
Do you understand the theory behind a C++ class? Do you know the differences between a struct and a class?
Can you play computer and interpret code, for in Fortran and in C++, which contains a function? Can you do this correctly given the different ways that Fortran and C++ use parameter passing schemes?
