Midterm exam review

The CSE 142 midterm exam is usually very similar to the format of the practice exams. The following kinds of problems are often found on the exam:

• expressions (given an expression, write the value it produces)
• parameter mystery (read code with parameters and write its output)
• if/else mystery (read code with if/else statements and write its output)
• while loop mystery (read code with while loops and write its output)
• assertions (given a piece of code, what can we say is always / sometimes / never true?)
• programming problems (write code to implement a method with specific behavior)

To solve each problem, you will need to use various concepts and syntax taught throughout the course so far, such as System.out.println, expressions, variables, parameters, return, if/else, for/while loops, Scanner, and Random. Part of the challenge is in figuring out which tools to use and how to use them together to solve the problem at hand.
