Preparation Checklist

In preparation for this week's work please check that you have:

• Completed last week's exercises

Be up-to-date

During this consolidation week you should ensure that you are up-to-date with the exercises and that you have read the set text up to and including Chapter 4.

The text book contains many solved exercises - make sure you read these to aid your understanding and type in and run the programs for yourself to gain experience.

Be prepared

Now you have seen the basics of the C language - input/output; variables; operators; statement sequences - it is time to study the basic control structures. These are often grouped into:

1. Selection - if statements; if/else statements; switch statements; and
2. Iteration - for statements; while statements; do-while statements

To prepare yourself for the first of these major topics you should read ahead in the set text CFTTP Chapter 5 Program Control.
