Midterm Exam Topics

Introduction

The midterm exam will be Thursday, April 11. You should have completed virtually all of Assignment 3 by then, because the exam will be based on the material covered by doing that assignment.

Material Covered

You will be responsibile for material on the following web pages:

Coding Guidelines
- Writeable Strings (linked from Coding Guidelines)
Using RCS
- RCS Keywords (linked from Using RCS
Using Make
- Skeleton Makefile (linked from Using Make)
- Make Implicit Rules (linked from Using Make)

We have also covered material from the following chapters in the Stevens text:

Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7. I haven't talked about chapter 10 (signals) in class yet, so that won't be on the exam. This is the part of Assignment 3 that I plan to go over in class on 4/14.
You don't have to memorize this material: concentrate on the parts we have gone over in class and/or are needed for the assignments.
There has been no reading assignment relating to network interprocess communication, so you have only the web page for Assignment 3 and your class notes to relay on for that.
