• 4. Function return values
• 5. Strings, string functions, strlen, strcpy, strcmp
• 6. Arrays
• 7. Functions and arrays
• 8. Functions and strings
• 9. Top down design
• 10. Incremental programming
• 11. Call by reference, C++ style
• 12. Call by value
• 13. Module Stubs
• 14. Problem solving
• 15. Problem analysis
• 16. Solution design
• 17. Design implementation
• 18. Software testing
• 19. Sorting, selection sort (max sort)
• 20. Sorting, bubble sort
• 21. Sorting, insertion sort
• 22. Information representation, ascii values
• 23. Character counting, frequencies
• 24. Input/output functions, scanf, printf, fscanf, fprintf, cin, cout
• 25. Files, file pointers, fopen, fclose
• 26. Function overloading

Please note that you will be asked to write several program modules as a part of this examination. These program solutions must be clear and to the point. Additionally, you will be asked to read and trace several code segments and must be able to tell what they do. The problems you will be asked to solve will extend your knowledge to situations you haven't seen before.
