How might you make this code more efficient? Write it on the board! Note: arrayOfIntegers is an array, or collection, of integers. Because computer scientists always count starting at 0, 8 is the "zeroth" element, 6 is the first element, and so on. If you want to access these, you use square brackets. So, arrayOfIntegers[0] = 8, arrayOfIntegers[1] = 6, etc. int sumOfIntegers = 0; int arrayOfIntegers[4] = {8,6,2,4}; sumOfIntegers = sumOfIntegers + arrayOfIntegers[0]; sumOfIntegers = sumOfIntegers + arrayOfIntegers[1]; sumOfIntegers = sumOfIntegers + arrayOfIntegers[2]; sumOfIntegers = sumOfIntegers + arrayOfIntegers[3]; return sumOfIntegers;
int sumOfIntegers = 0; int arrayOfIntegers[4] = {8,6,2,4}; for (int i = 0; i < 4; ++i) { sumOfIntegers = sumOfIntegers + arrayOfIntegers[i]; } return sumOfIntegers;

/* WILDCARD ROUND */ You have one minute to get together with your teammates and come up with as many reasons as you can for the following: Why is it a good idea to comment your code? Every reason is worth 50 points!
Some good answers include: - To make sure your code is readable to other programmers - To understand what your code means if you go back and look at it in the future - To write notes for your future self for things you might want to build upon in the future! (TODOs) - To make debugging MUCH easier

Which of the following is not a primitive (built-in) type in C++? (Remember, it's okay to Google). a. int b. string c. bool d. char e. void
What is b. string? NOTE: Just because it's not a primitive type, doesn't mean it doesn't exist! It's just not built into the language; instead, strings are included in the C++ standard library, a library of objects that expand upon the ones built into the language. When you type "using namespace std" at the top of your file, you're telling C++ to add the standard library to the list of things you can use. Like strings. (phew!)

What's wrong with this code? (assume all of the functions are all fine). int LOTS = 100; while ( amountOfFun < LOTS ) { int amountOfFun = 0; goToCamp(); writeNeatCode(); playGames(); earnTickets(); ++amountOfFun; } cout << "We've had a lot of fun! Time to go home" << endl;
It runs forever! :(
