What is an IDE and how is it different from how you’ve been coding in your UNIX shell so far?

An IDE stands for integrated development environment (Ex. C++ Visual studios) and it makes coding a lot easier because it automatically debugged your code and makes your code more organized by automatically placing white spaces for you. It also complies your code with a simple command instead of the multi-step process in UNIX shell.

Explain the steps you would use to program, compile, and run a program in your UNIX shell account. Be specific about the commands you type in.

1. Create a UNIX account and log in
2. When you are in UNIX type in pico.
3. Once you have type pico you can put in your code

Example code:
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

cout<<"League of Legends"<<endl;

cout<<"Counter Strike Global Offensive"<<endl;

}

4. Our task was to list our favorite games so we have the normal start of code as:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

5. To list your favorite games you can fill in the code 

cout<<"Favorite game"<<endl;

and repeat for as many games you want:

6. Once you are done end the code with:

}

7. save your code by pressing control + O and save the name as something.c

8. Exit pico by pressing control + X

9. Type in g++ something.c --> if you have bugs debug your code if nothing happens type ./a.out to run your code.

What did you like and dislike about Cave Adventure? How will you be able to improve upon it when you write your own text based game?

I disliked how Cave adventure did not give you any controls at the beginning and it really didn't provide a reason why you are doing what you are doing.

In the context of coding, what is a library and what is is used for? What library have you used so far, and how have you used it?

A library is a bunch of prewritten code and you use it to code. An example of a library is the <iostream> that you use when using c++. <iostream> makes the code easier and shorter to type.

Explain the steps you would use to log into your UNIX account and send an email (including how to use PUTTY).
1. Create a UNIX account and log in
2. When you are in UNIX type in pine compose a message by pressing c.
3. when you compose a message it is like sending a normal email and you need to type the email you are sending to and have a subject and text.
4. Once you are done with the email press control x to send

In your own words, describe what PUTTY is and what you use it for.

Putty is a free SSH client that is like a command prompt/terminal that you can use to run websites, play games and search for files on your computer. When you create an account you are no longer using your computer but a server from another place.

Tell me what you are hoping to get out of this class this semester. Is there a particular project you’d like to do? A specific game you’d like to code? Prepare for a college major or career path?

For this Semester i plan to get out the basics of C++. I would like to code PAC man or eventually super smash bros. I plan to get a major in computer science.
