Common assignments in computer science (google)

Ahh... my first assignment right just after the prof gave his name was, "The History of Computer" funny though cause i already known this one since high school. i would've opted write it down for him and pass it after the class, but i don't wanna brag on the first day of school.

well, since you are going to study computer science, i would suggest you is to learn the basics of C++, since you will spend a lot of your time programming in this language. just pick up any introductory book for C++ and give it a read and do some end of chapter problems. install visual studio 6 on your computer and execute your programs and see the effects. the first semester is extremely easy for C++ programming, but only if you have clear concepts on how things are working. there were students in my class who flunked in this very basic course, so just be cautious. early on, you will most get programs where take two numbers as input from a user and display the sum, difference, multiplication and division result for these numbers. you may get other similar programs that would require you to input and do other similar stuff with the input. you will spend most of the time in doing the 'while' and 'for' loops. and then nested loops i.e. loop within loop. from here on it gets really interesting. one of the interesting assignment we got was to output different triangles made using * character, for example like this * ** *** **** ***** or this one * *** ***** ******* ********* or a diamond as well... all this can be done using loops. in the end you will study arrays and two-dimensional arrays but just leave that for the time being. go through the basics and study the loops and play around. it is quite entertaining ;) good luck!

yeah that is the most important resource nowadays! use it and make sure tht u also tell eh teacher where u got the info from lke add the lnks in teh a shortnote at the bottom of ur report that way its playin it safe happy lotting and have a nice day!
