You must complete all previous Sessions (topics 1 – 6) starting on
this Topic.
Any lack of preparation in the early stages is going to cause you
severe problems in the later parts of the unit/module.
Step 1:
Complete Session 3 if not already completed then go through the 3 powerpoint files in Content.
Step 2:
Go through any of Bucky’s tutorials that you didn’t complete
Use codeblocks and do the tutorials instead of just watching the video.
In a number of cases, you are being asked to view and do the tutorial
more than once. If you have already understood, you can skip the
particular video tutorial.
Note that things are getting a little complicated. So if you have
skipped any work from before, go back and complete.
Step 3:
Read the textbook chapters – In a number of cases, you are being
asked to read a particular chapter more than once because they are
important. If you have already understood the chapter, you can skip.
o Chapters on Standard Template Library, sections on Associative containers relating to set and multiset, container Adapters
o Chapter on Stacks and Queues, entire section on Stacks
Step 4:
Start on LabExcTopic07 in the Practical Folder. You will note that you are being
asked to complete assignment 1 ASAP.
Then start on the exercises listed there.
Be mindful of the advice given in the lab document.
Once you have completed the above, you are ready for the next topic.
If you have not understood something, make note of it to discuss during the workshop where you meet the lecturer.
