What’s This Blue Code?
int main( /* no params */ )
{ // main
/* use C IO function to prrrrint
printrf( “Hello world’ );
} //end mian
4
What’s This Blue Code?
This only looks like C, but is riddled with errors
1. No library was included via #include<xxx.h>
2. String literal was not terminated with a “
3. The end of output not followed by a ‘\n’
4. The assumed printf() was mis-spelled
5. The comment /* was not */ terminated
6. No main() return value was given . . . and so on
But at least you started thinking about C
5
Some Better Code
#include <stdio.h>
int main( /* no params */ )
{ // main
/* use C output function */
printf( “Hello world.\n” );
return 0; // 0: no error
} //end main

ECE 103 Engineering Programming, Summer ‘15
Instructor: Dr. Herbert G. MayerOffice: FAB 40-06Hours: Mondays, Wednesdays 16:45 – 19:05E-Mail: [email protected]: [email protected] URL: http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~herb/ click
ECE103Term: Summer 2015Detail: Important, for you to read handout 1
7
Should I take this course?
Electrical Engineering majors Yes – (ECE 102 or CS 161 equivalent), then ECE 103
Computer Engineering majors No – (ECE 102 or CS 161), then CS 162, CS 163
Computer Science majors No – Take CS 161, CS 162, CS 163
(unless you want hardware interfacing experience)
8
Specific Outcomes
Students will develop the ability to: Identify and follow the software design process
Use the C programming language to solve medium complex problems in engineering, math, and physics
Apply programming skills to create control software for real-world sensors and actuators
Document a project via a technical report
9
Course Prerequisites
Algebra and trigonometry (MTH 111 or equivalent) ECE 102 Engineering Computation (recommended)

How Hard is This Class, really?
Do not assume ECE 103 is easy or simple just because it is a 100-level course
You will have to spend a lot of time writing programs and learning software tools
