Class Summaries 3/30 - Welcome back!

Precalc



Intro to Algebra

We started Chapter 6 today - section 6.1 - Solving one-step inequalities.

I also gave a new schedule and assigned homework #1.


Computer Science 2

In order to warm everyone back up to computer programming, I gave two problems.  You need to demonstrate that each of these runs correctly for credit on this assignment:

1.  Write a program that prints out a list of perfect squares up to (and including) the integer value specified by the user.  For example, if the user enters in 100, the output of the program should be: 

1  4  9  16  25  36  49  64  81  100 

Print an error message to the user if they enter in a negative number.

2.  Write a program that will count the number of instances in a given sentence of a specified char by the user.  For instance: 

The user enters in a sentence:  “I love Computer Science.”

Then specifies a char: 

The program then returns something to the effect of:  “There are 2 ‘o’s in your sentence.”
