Exam 1 Study Guide (Written Exam)
---------------------------------
- The written exam will be closed-book, closed-notes.

- Don't forget the first week and a half of class before we started programming!  
	- Review the vocabulary in the slides concerning how a computer works
	- The parts of a computer
	- How to convert base-10 numbers into binary (base-2) numbers
	- How to convert binary numbers into base-10 numbers
	- Storage units of measure (bits, bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes)
	- How to convert from one unit of measure to another

- Look through the class slides and zyBooks to be sure you know the bolded vocabulary words.

- Understand how to prompt the user for input using input().

- Understand how to display results using print().

- Understand the string, float, and int data types and how to convert from one type to another type.

- How to use if, elif, and else.

- How to use for loops and while loops.  

- Know how the range() function works with a loop.  For example, what does this do:

  for number in range(3,10,2):
    print(number)

- Be able to explain the difference in words between a for loop and a while loop. When would you use one over the other?

- Know how string indexing works.  For example, what will my_string[0] give me?

- Know how string slicing works.  For example, what will my_string[0:5] give me?  What about my_string[:9] or my_string[1:]?

- Know how to use the + with two strings and the * with strings.  For example "hello" + "there", or "hello"*3.

- Understand how to use a loop to go through a string, one character at a time.  For example:

  for char in my_string:
    print(char)

- Be aware of the string methods we went over in class.  For example, how does my_string.lower() work?  How does my_string.find('a') work?


Exam 1 Study Guide (Programming Exam)
-------------------------------------
- The programming exam will be closed book, closed notes with the exception of one side of one sheet of paper for handwritten notes.

- You can use one side of one sheet of paper for handwritten notes.  Why handwritten?  Studies show that writing something down (instead of copy/pasting) is a form of studying.

- Try to work the programs in this lecture from scratch without looking at the answers.

- Once you can do that, go back to homeworks 1-3 and make sure you can do Python calculations and use if/elif/else correctly.

- This exam WILL NOT be autograded.  I will hand-grade all your submissions.  I will also give partial points for trying something, and the closer you get to the actual solution, the more points you will earn.

- This also means that you must test your programs yourself and make sure they work.  (The autograder will not be there to test your programs.) 

- The programs I ask you to write will be the size of the programs in homeworks 1-2.  You will not have to write a large program (like in homework 5 or lab 7).

- If you encounter a program that is hard, skip it to do the ones you know you can do.  Come back to the hard one when you have time at the end.
