Week 3 Objectives

Given a programming requirement for iteration, design, code and test a solution algorithm which employs loop functions appropriate to the task.

Key Concepts:

• Explain and differentiate the various looping structures available in C++.
• Examine which looping structures are appropriate under what conditions.
• Discuss and implement a debugger using breakpoints and the watch window to ensure that infinite looping does not occur.

Given a program with logic errors that is intended as a solution to a simple program, employ debugging diagnostics (breakpoints, watch window, call stack) functions to remove and correct the errors.

Key Concepts:

• Utilize breakpoints in debug mode to examine execution paths and information.
• Utilize the watch window to observe changing data as one steps-over or into code segments.
• Use the call stack to trace function execution.
