Instructions on Using Windows 2000 and Various Applications (old)
Windows 2000 for Computing Science Induction
"Standard" C++ and C libraries of functions under Cygwin
These libraries can be found by typing (in your Cygwin bash shell)
cd /usr/include
or
cd /usr/include/g++-3
Alternatively, it should be reached (using the Windows Explorer) on your C: drive, in
"Program Files/Cygwin/usr/include" and "Program Files/Cygwin/usr/include/g++-3"
Library of Programmer Defined Types (Array, Text ...)
The definitions of these types can be found on
the "software on 'campus' (F:)" drive (look inside "My Computer"),
in "compsci/cygwin/C++/include".
A
WWW version of the PDT and built-in type interfaces is available here.
C++ Zipped Files
Includes template projects, design notation templates, CodeWarrior Programs
SUPPORTING SOFTWARE for those who would like to run C++ (Borland, Metrowerks, Microsoft Visual C++, Unix)
on their own computers
Software for work at home
Link to Cygnus
solutions software etc. can be found here
Be prepared for a long period of downloading!

Examination Structure
This part refers to the previous (prior to 2006-07)
module CSC601 in which C++ was taught to EEE and Marine Technology students.
The examples of exam questions can however be very useful to students
taking EEE1004 because they will test their proficiency in C++.
I strongly recommend to use them for practice!
CSC601 has an OPEN BOOK examination (lectures notes and books are permitted).
However I wouldn't recommend students to spend too much
time browsing through the notes during the examination.
The point is that the examination questions are essentially about
solving particular problems - checking syntax,
working out the meaning of the code, or designing
algorithms - and not a book work!
The examination paper will consist of three sections A, B and C.
Sections A and B are on testing your knowledge of C++ syntax and semantics.
Section C is to test you ability to design and implement C++ programs.
Students will be offered a mock test in the first week of December to
have a flavour of what Sections A and B are.
Examination: Section B question samples
Understanding Boolean
expressions
and Answers
Understanding loops
Understanding
functions
Examination: Section C samples

NOTE ABOUT PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism is an attempt to pass someone else's work as your
own. This is a serious offence and may result in disciplinary
measures being taken against anyone who is found to be
plagiarising.
In particular, copying someone else's program code,
algorithm design solutions, documentation etc. is
seen as examples of plagiarism and will be treated as such
with all appropriate consequences, from having a zero mark given
for the relevant piece of submitted work
to a case raised to the university disciplinary committee.
More details on plagiarism can be found
here.
