    1. BIL 106E Introduction to Programming in F General Course Related Information & Lecture Notes

    2. 2 General Information BIL106E is an internet-assisted course. The official course website is at www.bil.be.itu.edu.tr > Lisans Dersleri > BIL106E It is the student’s responsibility to check this website to find out about announcements, homework and midterm solutions and lecture notes. There may be newer versions of lecture notes or any other file that you see at the course website, due to either a correction, or the inclusion of a better explanation, or a new example.

    3. 3 General Information AGAIN, it is the student’s responsibility to check if there are newer versions of the files posted at the course website. Note that all the files posted at the course website will have a version number in their file names, such as BIL_106_INTRO_SLIDE_v1.1.ppt or BIL_106_INTRO_SLIDE_v1.1.zip. (Note that if a file is compressed with WinZip its extension changes to .zip. In order to uncompress it, you need to download WinZip or WinRar from www.download.com and install it in your computer. This download is free of charge.) If version 1.1 is what you have downloaded and the next time you visit the course website, you notice that there is a file with name BIL_106_INTRO_SLIDE_v1.2.ppt, or .zip, you should download version 1.2 and immediately delete version 1.1. This is known as VERSION CONTROL. It is your foremost responsibility to do version control in any computing project including keeping track of lecture notes.

    4. 4 General Information (cont’d) There are 3 sections and 3 instructors for this course. The two midterms and the final exam will be common to all 3 sections. Homeworks and quizzes will be different for each section. The letter grade will be based on a single bell curve instead of 3.

    5. 5 General Information (cont) Breakdown of the letter grade: Final Exam: 40% 2 Midterms: Each 20% Labwork, Homeworks, Quizzes and In-class bonus points: 20% The third item above will be determined separately by each instructor. The result will then be standardized using 3 separate curves from the 3 sections. The standardized grade will then count as 20% towards your letter grade. Each instructor is free to decide whether or not to give in-class bonus points. Since the results will be standardized at the end, this will not be a setback for any section.

    7. 7 What is FORTRAN? Fortran ["FORmula TRANslation"] is the oldest language still in general use, dating back to 1957, the year the Space Age began. It excels at the first task computers were called on for: number-crunching. This is the language that literally put a man on the moon, and some of the features it developed in the process of that project (and other less glamorous ones) have yet to be duplicated in other, more "modern" languages.

    8. 8 What is F? F is a subset of FORTRAN. The F compiler was written by Walt Brainerd, one of the authors of your textbook.
