CS100: Intro To Programming (Summer Homeworks'19)
Note: This is not the main course webpage, a separate Piazza page will be arranged once the course has officially started. The present page is only for the preparatory summer homeworks.
Abstract
Introduction to Programming is a mandatory first-year course for all students enrolling at SIST, ShanghaiTech. Programming is an essential, foundational skill that is perhaps more instrumental than any other to your successful university studies. As students arrive with diverging backgrounds in programming, we issue the present summer homework booklet with basic lessons and (graded!) exercises for you to get started before the actual start of the semester. The intention is to standardize prior knowledge in programming across the entire class. The summer homework aims at a very basic level of C programming. Instructions on how to submit your solution for online grading are provided at the bottom of this page. Note that the grades will already influence your overall outcome for CS100.
