Statement from Michael Berman:We started using C++ in CS2 in Fall 1993. In Fall 1994 we will start using C++ in our CS 1 class.Our motivation for using C++ came from several directions. First, we use C in advanced courses, and needed a better place in the curriculum to introduce C (or, better, C++). Second, we wanted a language that could fully support implementation of abstract data types and OOP. Third, external forces (employers, MIS department, and a future Engineering School) pointed towards C++.There's no time in CS UCS2 to learn everything about C++, but I don't think you need to. Ideally, the relevant features are covered as they are needed. I am developing a CS2 textbook based on this approach. Introducing features in this way is nearly impossible in C, but is actually easier in C++ because pre-written classes can be used to hide some of the complexity of the language.Statement from Rick Decker:We've been phasing C++ into our curriculum at Hamilton for the past two years and expect to complete the transition in two more years. We assume, with what we think are very good reasons, that object-oriented programming is the appropriate paradigm for CS 1 and CS 2, and hence forms a thread that will eventually run throughout our entire curriculum. For this to take place, we have essentially inverted the order of topics in the first two courses. We' ve been preaching strategic programming for years and it's time to start practicing what we've been preaching. There's no paradigm shift if one has no paradigm to shift from. How do you fit it all in? You don't, that's how. There's time enough for algorithms later. In the first part of the CS1-2 sequence, we concentrate our attention on good design principles, and 00P is perfect for that.Why C++? We decided to use C++ as the vehicle for 00P because we felt that the shortcomings of the language were outweighed by the benefits to be gained by its adoption. C++ is like your distant cousin Bubba. He's fat, sloppy, and has a serious attitude problem. However, everybody loves him and he's the Charlie Daniels of the torque wrench if you need to get your car fixed. We underestimated the difficulties inherent in providing an accessible introduction to C++, In spite of our pedagogical 383

Ethereum smart contracts based on blockchain technology are powerful and promising applications that provide a global platform for exchanging cryptocurrencies and public services. This technology are garnering a huge impact and is widely adopted in the current times as it can transform the way we transfer and exchange value by passing the need for a middleman and reducing cost. These smart contracts also represent a basis for true ownership of digital assets and a wide range of decentralized applications. Besides this, since Ethereum and its smart contracts are a publicly accessible, unchangeable and distributed platform, they are extremely vulnerable to various forms of attack, with their security becoming a top priority. However, current security-verifying programs tend to provide many technical details which are pretty hard for normal people to understand briefly. To tackle this problem, we designed a process aiming to mitigate these limitations, with our key insight being a combination of semantic structure analysis and symbolic execution on control-flow graphs (CFG for short). This article proposes a new approach for auditing Ethereum smart contracts, applying this technique would benefit both average users without any technical knowledge and security experts as well.
