General Instructions for Programming Assignments

• The main purpose of learning a variety of languages is to understand the basic design of the language which helps in understanding the pros and cons of the language's suitability for a given application.
• For each of the programming languages that we cover, the website presents two volumes of tutorial. The first one gives you an introduction to the language, its syntax, datatypes, instructions to run programs on the class servers. The second part focuses on branching, looping, subprograms and other suitable topics. Follow these tutorials and the sample programs presented in each section.
• For each language compile, debug, and run these programs:
  1. Hello World (Click here for samples)
  2. Sum the elements in an array (Click here for samples)
  3. 'Bubble Sort' the elements in an array
• Telnet to class servers and create a new directory for each language and complete the assignments
• Class servers are:
et791.ni.utoledo.edu and prog.et.utoledo.edu
• In case of any questions or difficulty in logging into these servers, mail the Instructor or the Graduate Assistant
