11.18.05 Lecture Notes for CISC181 Fall 2005

Potential Final Exam question:

I may ask about reading until end of file into an array:

remember that the proper pseudocode is:

initialize count = 0;

try to read a line
while (not end of file)
{
   process the line you read
   store it position [count] in the array
   count++;
   
   try to read the next line
}

An alternative popular with the C, C++, Java crowd:

while ( try_to_read() != failure )
{
   process
   store in [count]
   count++

}
