We'll meet initially in Hoyt 369, then repair to the Math/CS Lab.

Work on the following programs, in any order you like:

1. Write a program which reads (from the keyboard) a person's name (a string) and age (an integer). The program should greet the person, using their name and then print ``You're old!!'' if the person is 20 or older and print ``Shouldn't you be at home?'' otherwise.

2. Write a simple calculator program which accepts inputs and sums them. If an input of 0 is read, print the sum and exit.

3. Write a program that reads a line of characters (no more than 128 characters on a line) and then determines and prints the number of characters and words on the line.

4. Experiment with the sorting routine we worked on in class. You can prompt the user for integer values to store in the array, or pre-store values in the array using declarations like this:

               .data
   array:      .word 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
   n:          .word 5
   

   After sorting, add a for loop to print out the values in the array, verifying that they're now in sorted order.
