Class Notes 09/14/06

-Language reference manual in CISAT Library.
-New text book in the CIAST library.
-When using FIREFOX you may not get the appropriate .exe extension upon downloading the compiler.

-Email Dr. Adams if you notice that the notes are not on the website.

-Get used to going to ADA 95 Reference Manual online.

-When you declare a new type of an array, REMEBER TO DECLARE A VARIABLE OF THAT TYPE!

-When you want to make a data file, make it a plain text file and then you can name it .in or .out

-When you submit files to Dr. Adams name your files yourName1 or yourName2 with the number 		incrementing respectively

-https://users.cs.jmu.edu/adamses/web is her website.

-If your having problems send her a note or put it on the discussion board.

-The command to go the next line on a read statement is Ada.text_io.skip_Line()

-If you know there are only going to be n numbers, declare an integer constant representing the desired number of items
	-need a loop up to that constant
	-Alternative way other than looping
		-ada.integer_text_io.get(num1,num2,num3,num4,num5);

-For blackboard digital dropbox, you must ADD and then SEND!!!!

-You can not index just an integer, you have to declare a array type to be able to index

-Slides from today's lecture on chapter two will be linked on the web page.


--DR.ADAMS YOU WENT TO FAST FOR ME ABOUT THE ONE'S COMPLIMENT AND TWO'S COMPLIMENT NOTES. COULD YOU ENTER THAT HERE?

-One's Compliment you have all positive numbers and 0 and a -0

-Here is an example(Dr. Adam's fill this in)



-plus and minus sign are overloaded operators
	-between two numbers means subtraction
	-before a singal number means negative

-/= is a not equal (in other words it is equivalent to != in JAVA)

-you get attributes when talking about integers using the ticks and the tick(things) being attributes
	-the advatage of ticks is you don't have to remember where your beginning or end is of 		that array



-Scalar data type has values which are ordered and each value is atomic
	-Character
	-Naturals
	-Floats
	-boolean is an enumerated data type which is ordered
-Discrete(Ordinal) data type in which each value (Except the first and last) must have a unique 	predecessor and successor
	-Integer


-Composite data type is a data type whose elements are composed of multiple data items(must have 	component parts)
	-String (it has an array of characters)
	-Date

-Stack operations include POP, PUSH, PEAK, ISEMPTY, or ISFULL

-You NEED TO go back and look at the slides and understand them!
-GO look in the language reference manual for exceptions and figure out how to handle errors.
