CMSC 331 Midterm Exam Topics

Slides that I covered in class are all fair game. Homework problems are an indication of what I consider important, so reviewing homework assignments is probably a good idea.

I like to ask some True/False questions, and chapters 1 and 2 are good material for those. I don't plan to ask a lot of history of programming languages questions.

Chapters/Sections of the textbook to study:

3.1-3.4

4.1-4.3.2

5.1-5.3 (will be a review of some concepts and terminology I've talked about but never presented slides for. It's about 4 pages in the book.)

12.5, and you may bring hardcopy of the C++ cheat sheet to the exam.

15.5 and 15.6. and you may bring hardcopy of the Lisp cheat sheet to the exam.

I might ask you to do something with small segments of C++ or Lisp code.
