Programming Practice with Sequential Programs

Today's lecture consists of demonstrations of simple sequential programs to permit students to become more familiar with C++ and the linux programming environment.

Program examples:

• compute_tax.cpp: Demostrate how to compute tax on an amount and format the output (alternate version with additional "white space").
• swap.cpp: Demonstrate how to exchange two variables.
• constants.cpp: Demonstrate different types of variables and and variable constants.
• size.cpp: Demostrate the sizeof() operator for determining how much memory variables of different types use.
