CS201 - Laboratories

• All labs will be done using Linux on the PCs or
  esus.
• All labs MUST use Makefiles.
• First lab is due NEXT WEEK at the end of your
  respective lab period.
• You will need to learn a Linux based text editor,
  such as pico, vim, or emacs.

3
CS201 Help Sessions

• With a few exceptions (e.g. 2/18), there will be
  a help session on Fridays in ROBH101 at 310 p.m.
  
• This session will cover auxiliary material
  related to lecture and labs. For example, the
  first help session (1/14) will be on Linux, using
  a text editor, and compiling and running C
  programs

CS201 - Suggestions

• Do the reading assignments BEFORE coming to
  lecture.
• Take advantage of the exercises and self-tests in
  the text.
• Review the lab assignments, design your solution,
  and do some preliminary coding BEFORE your lab
  period.

5
CS201 esus accounts

• You will need to have an esus account to login to
  Linux on the machines in EPS254.
• Wait until you get your esus account to do lab
  1. (No late penalties on this lab only).

6
CS201 - Enrichment

• These are things that are not on the direct path
  of CS201 material but would be useful and
  interesting to advanced students.
• No exam questions will be directly on enrichment
  topics.
• C puzzles, additional lab procedures, or C
  related topics.

CS201 Lab 1 (1/18-1/19)

• Boot the machine into Linux.
• Login to the machine.
• Use a text editor to build the hello world
  program.
• Use a text editor to build a simple Makefile for
  the hello world program.
• Using the Makefile, compile your program and run
  it.
• Print out the Makefile and your source code file.

CS201 lab 1 enrichment

• Try changing the helloworld program so it says
  Happy New Year! instead of Hello World!.
• Try printing a line of astericks
  before and after the Happy New Year message.
• If you wanted to use the C compiler instead,
  replace gcc with g.
