Week 5

Week 5 hits a few milestones:
- This week effectively marks the 1/3 waypoint of the semester. Can you believe it?
- Fall begins on September 23, at 4:21 A.M. … so be sure to enjoy what remains of summer!
General observations:
- rushing begets confusion and stalled progress. Be it rushing due to procrastination, or rushing due to not putting adequate amounts of time into understanding, it will hurt you if you do not spend the appropriate amount of time to learn the new concepts and to become increasingly fluent with them.
- I cannot stress this enough: you must take the time to practice this material.

Our programming capabilities grow with each passing class, each passing week.
Barring any questions, we'll be proceeding onto to loops this week:
- for() - counting (aka “automatic counter”) loops
- while() - top driven relational loops
- do while() - bottom driven relational loops
arithmetic shortcuts:
- ++ - increment by 1 (comes in both pre- and post-increment varieties)
- – - decrement by 1 (comes in both pre- and post-increment varieties)
- += - increment by provided value
- -=, *=, /=, %=

Explored input with scanf()
Expressed values according to different schemes (octal, signed/unsigned decimal, hex, ASCII)
Started looking at pointers, including double pointers

Welcome! I've wrapped all the initial activities into one project, cci0, that I'd like you to perform by the given deadline (by 11:59:59pm / 23:59:59).
Get familiar with logging into the pod systems, and once there:
- open up a terminal
- log that terminal onto Lab46 for class work and attendance
Get familiar with how to log onto Lab46, and once on:
- change to your src/ subdirectory
- create/edit .c files (such as hello.c), and how to save/exit
- compile the C program (.c file(s)) into an executable with gcc
- execute the compiled C program (the executable) by specifying a path: ./program_name
