The final exam covers the book. Although the last chapter was not explicitly covered in class lecturers, the ideas of abstract data types were explored in Project P12 and the lectures on C++. The emphasis is on reading and writing short sections of C, similar to those you’ve done in the homework and the assignments. There will be not questions on C++ or the LC-3 on the final.
The final exam will concentrate on the elements of C covered in the C-releated homeworks and assignments. Expect particular attention to projects P8, P9, and P12,
