Reminders:
Using strings with iostream programs:
If you want to use strings with iostream programs include the following in
your program:
#include <iostream.h>
#include <cstring.h>
#include "francast.h"
Notice:
Strings:
To use strings in your
programs include francast.h and franca04.h in this order
Using wireless service on campus (CruzNet)
If you use CruzNet wireless service on campus, you may have trouble to use
the "LOGIN" section. This means you may NOT be able to take quizzes or see the
lab material if you are using the wireless service. This happens because CruzNet blocks
some methods of Internet access.
I am working to see if this problem can be solved. In the meantime, use a
regular Internet connection when you need to take your quizzes.
Important reminder:
Lab assignments are due at the
end of each lab session. Under special circumstances, the supervisor can let you
demonstrate a final version of a program at the beginning of the next lab session. This is
only in case a substantial work was done during the session where the assignment was due.
Any assignment demonstrated
after the due session is NOT ELIGIBLE for credit.
Download files you need:
Strings:
You need to download franca04.h
Include both: francast.h and franca04.h in this order

- The written exam average is
computed by taking the average of the three exams (mid 1, mid 2
and final). However, if you have 80% or
more attendance to the class (classroom, not labs!) you
may request that the average be computed by considering the two
best exam grades (this way you can even skip the final).
- Passing the class:
- You need at least 50% in the exams and at
least 50% in the labs in order to pass the class.
- Your overall score must be over 50% to pass.
- You need at least 70% attendance to labs to
pass
- Letter grades are assigned competitively
