Study Guide Final Exam

The final exam is comprehensive. This study guide concentrates on material covered later in the course but assumes you know the preliminary material from the first four chapters.
This study guide covers objects, object relationships (composition and inheritance), list objects, linked lists, and templates
NOTE: The book covers more material than is required for the final exam.
Review the web site and chapter sections identified in this study guide for relevant material.
Linked List material is available on the website here.
Information about list objects is available on the website here.
Some of the exam questions will be similar to the quiz questions you have already completed although there will be more open-ended questions (including small program fragments to be written or programs to be changed).
Some of the material will be based on the examples given in the relevant topic pages on the website (see below for details)
This will be a take home exam which you will have 24 hours to complete. The time you first access the exam on the web-site till the time your e-mail is received must be less than 24 hours.
You may choose any 24 hour period you wish, but exams received after 6PM Tue May 1st may not be graded in time to receive a grade for this semester (you may receive a grade of incomplete instead).
To pick up the exam, the following procedure will be used.
- Send me e-mail requesting the password to access the final exam - each student will be given a unique password.
- You will receive your unique password in a responding e-mail.
- Using this password, access the exam on the web site when you are ready to start the 24 hour exam period. (instructions will be included in the above e-mail)
- Return your answers by e-mail within 24 hours.
In the rest of this guide, I point out those topics and examples that are of particular importance.
NOTE: since linked lists are so important and necessary for success in CS361. figure 15.3 is worth particular attention
