Code from lecture

Review: Designing nested loops

• When do we need a loop?
• When do we need a nested loop?
• Checking for limits
• Practice with ASCII art (also topic of lab02)

Three key aspects of functions

• Declaration (what are the inputs, outputs?)
• Definition (actual code for achieving the desired behavior)
• Function call (using function)

C++ Memory Model

• Program layout in memory: text, global data , heap and stack
• The stack and its purpose
• Global vs. local variables
