Overview
We meet three times this week, so we will have time to complete Chapter 4: Conditionals and recursion in our online textbook, and begin Chapter 5: Fruitful functions.

Classwork
At the beginning of class we will have a quiz on Chapter 4. We will then discuss function signatures and function overloading.

Next answer any questions about the program presented in Chapter 4 Exercise Set 0: Chapter Review. If you do not feel comfortable yet with bitwise operators, now is the time to speak up.
Homework
Study for the quiz at the beginning of class on Friday based on the exercises in Chapter 4 Exercise Set 1: CPE Practice.
Monday, September 9th
Classwork
Please note that I have renamed our textbook, but the URL for it is unchanged.
We'll start class by discussing the results of the first quiz from last week. The grade distribution was: A:10, B:5, C:5, D:3, and E:5. Your next quiz will be on Friday on Chapter 4: Conditionals and recursion.
We will then take an ungraded 15 question CPE pre-test, which I need to do for my SMART goal this year, and which we can use as a resource afterward in preparing for the CPE.
Next we'll discuss chapter 4, introducing bitwise operators, a topic I imagine will be new to most of you. You will then have any remaining class time to begin working through the exercises in Chapter 4 Exercise Set 0: Review, which will help you understand the bitwise operators.
Homework
Complete all the exercise in Chapter 4 Exercise Set 1: CPE Practice and come to class Wednesday ready to discuss the solutions to them.
