           2. Compare switch with nested if as a multiway exit
           3. Use switch statements in designing programs
        5.6 Assertions(more later in chapter 7..very important
           1. Know how to assert pre-conditions
           2. Know how to assert post-conditions
           3. Reference use in file-I/O chapter 7(teacher comment)
        5.7 Graphics
           1. use selection statement in a graphics format
           2. Use boolean statements in graphics formats

        Case Study(Gas-n-Clean Service Station)(honors only)


   b. Programming assignments discussion
      1. program a  p282  #1(regular)
      1. program a  p282  #2(honors)
      2. program b  p282  #4(regular)
      2. program b  p282  #6(honors)(use and/or/not)
      3. program c  p282  #9(regular)if-then or and
      3. program c  p282  #10(honors)if-then or and
      4. program d  p284  #13(regular)if-then or and or switch(see inst)
      4. program d  p284  #15(honors)(application)

      5. program e  p289  #29(regular)(switch)
      5. program e  p288  #28(honor)(fractions)

      6. program f  p290  #32(regular)(select shape)
      6. program f  p290  #33(honor)(dice)
        
   c. Debugging techniques
      See chapter 3 & 4 for earlier lists
        1.  Use "f8" to trace the logic of programs using chosen data
        2.  Check boundary cases for correctness
        3.  Avoid branches that are never used.
        4.  Check syntax 
            a.(..) and (..)  
            b. if (x>y) { statement_1; statement-2;}..note braces
            c. ..else {statement_3; statement-4;} note more braces..
        5. switch (x) {....} ..open & close brace
        6. don't use the word "or"  ..>"||"
        7. assertions are over-kill at this point..wait 'till chapter 7.
`       8. if(x > 4) ;  <-- misplaced semicolon 
            {stuff!!!}
