Compu 131 WrapUp Winter 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
.  Last Class day(s) -- present your game prototype class (Asgn. 6 DONE by start of class)
       Late work -- late fees after due date
       Nothing after 11 AM last class day before the exam
          Or special arrangement (grade of Incomplete)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Or any of my other exam days (see my schedule onteh web site (make prior arrangement)
    Ch. 6, 7, (8), binary<-->decimal
    Asgn. 4 (World:  file processing, accumulate, count),
	 5 (Translate:  arrays, searching), (6)
    Topics:  Loops and selection, file processing, 
       arrays (bubble sort, search, 2D, from files, vs. files)
    Format similar to Test 2.  Same weight.  But 2 hours.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
.  Evaluation form:  http://www.shoreline.edu/rshields (bottom of table)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
.  Methods (Subs, Functions, Procedures) should fit on 1 screen (2 at most).
    Identify chunk of code that does 1 job & make a "method" out of it
    Sharing data?
        Parameter list -- as long as needed
        Function can only return 1 value
           Is method trying to do too much
           Or is a class (form)-level variable a good solution ?
           Or use a structure to hold all the values you want to return
           
Back to section 7.3 (p. 339+)
Define your OWN data type--not restricted to one data element type

     Structure ProvinceType 'this is the name of the "type"
        Dim name As String
        Dim population As Double
        Dim area As Double
     End Structure
     
     Dim province1 As ProvinceType
     Dim province2 As ProvinceType
     
     'Individual members
     province1.name = "Quebec"
     province1.population = 5000000
     province1.area = 300000

     'Entire structure
     province2 = province1

     'An array of structures
     Dim provinces(13) As ProvinceType
     provinces(1).name = "Ontario"
