Learn to use the C Reference Card. Do not bring a copy to the exam. One will be provided for you.
The first exam covers Chapters 1 to 7 of the textbook. The emphasis is on reading C and writing very short sections of C, similar to those you've included in the programming assignment.
You should wish to review a copy of last Fall's exam and try out the solution program or, at least, read the printout of running the solution program. You need to be able to solve all the problems on last year's exams.
The first exam will cover elements of C covered in Homeworks E1 to E4. You need to be able to independently write a solution to these programs.
