Set 2 (More arithmetic operators, for loops, Arrays, (named) Constants, Applications & examples using arrays, Strings & Characters, 2D arrays, Application to matrices & vectors)

Set 6 (Functions – last set) [For 2007 class: You can omit pages on pointers and operators & and *]

Set 7 (Files – this is about reading and writing to files instead of the screen; it is quite useful stuff and not really difficult.

For 2007 class: However, we will not have time to cover it and so it can be omitted for exam purposes]
