All of the following are required except any items labeled Optional are, well, optional (i.e., things that may be interesting but do not directly pertain to your success in this course).

  1. Test 2 preparation documents (Do these before you arrive for Test 2):

    Test 2 covers all the material from Test 1, plus the wait-for-event pattern (via WHILE loops) and sequences. To prepare:

    1. Do the Session 13 on-the-computer practice problems.
    2. Do the Session 13 paper-and-pencil practice problems.
      • They are included in the project as a Word document and as a PDF, use whichever form you prefer.
      • Do these problems in the electronic copy, or print them and do them by hand, whichever you prefer.
      • We will give you instructions for how to turn them in.
    3. AFTER doing the above paper-and-pencil problems, check your answers by examining these Answers to those practice problems.
    4. Review this Honesty Pledge.
      • You will sign this at the end of the test, so you should understand it first.
      • This version for Test 2 is very similar to that for Test 1.
      • The rules for Test 2 are the same as the rules for Test 1.

    The Session 13 problems (on the computer and paper and pencil) are your admission ticket for taking Test 2.

    • You must complete them BEFORE you take Test 2.
    • If the time for the test arrives and you have not done them for some reason, see your instruction to determine what to do about it.

  2. Loops within Loops (aka Nested Loops) — How they work:
    • Video (embedded in a web page) [6:21 minutes]
    • Video (as an mp4 that you can download if you want: 6.4 MB)
  3. Nested Loops
    • Textbook reading: Section 4.7 - Nested Loops (pages 184 - 189, 6 pages).

      Pay special attention to:

      • The concept of nested loops as described on pages 184-185.
      • The patterns for nested loops, some of which are shown in Table 3 on page 187 . (It is an EXCELLENT table.)
