TOPICS TO REVIEW FOR THE FINAL 
(this list is not complete)

* Everything from E50a

* Classes
	-design of a class 
	- private vs. public
	- constructor/copy constructor/destructor
	- member vs. friend function
	- function/operator overloading
	- inheritance/virtual function/pure virtual
	
* Structs

* Pointers
	- declaring
	- initializing
	- dereferencing
	- NULL
	
* Arrays
	- creating 
	- accessing values
	- assigning values
	- multi-dimensional 
	- as parameters 		
	
* Stack (FILO) vs. Queue (FIFO)

* Strings
	- the C++ string library
	- creating/copying/comparing	

* Recursion
	- see e50a
	- more complicated than fibonacci: printnum 
	- recursive backtracking (game of NIM)
	
* Sorting/Searching
	- bubblesort
	- binary search
	
* Memory allocation: 
	- new/delete
	- stack vs. heap
	
* Bits, bytes...
	- bit manipulation: shifting (doubling/halving), setting, clearing
	- logical operators:  &, |, ^
	- 1 byte = 8 bits
	- big vs. little endian
	- binary arithmetic
	- signed vs. unsigned int
	- hexadecimal notation
	- bitset class
	
* MIPS
	- registers
	- basic instructions: load, store, move, branch
	- syscalls
	- directives
	- function calls, without and with stack frames
