SVN/Version Control

You will be submitting your homework assignments and your project via Subversion, a version control system. The CPSC Department maintains an SVN repository server.

SVN is normally used for keeping an ongoing history and backup of files in a project, but its properties also lend themselves nicely to the submission of computer science work assignments.

Using a Command Line

In which students learn how to speak directly to an OS without GUI intervention.


Using SSH

On Mac & Linux: Use the SSH command through the terminal

  • ssh -l <username> <server>

On Windows: The Windows machines in the the computer science lab have SSH Secure Shell installed.

Windows does not (by default) have an SSH program, so you need to get your own (PuTTY[1] for example).

The C Language

  • C keywords
  • control flow: decision, repetition
    • if
    • while
    • for
    • do..while
    • switch/case
  • variables and data
    • variable naming, content, addressing (pointers)
    • primitive types
    • arrays
    • structures
    • unions
  • pointers
  • functions
    • call by value
    • call by reference
