Advanced Programming Lab 1

This document provides instructions for Lab #1 in COMS W3157 Advanced Programming. It consists of two parts worth 50 points each. Part 1 requires writing a C program to calculate the average, prime status, and relative primality of two positive integers. Part 2 requires writing a program called "convert" to print a decimal integer in signed decimal, unsigned decimal, hexadecimal, and binary formats. Detailed requirements are provided for file organization, function prototypes, sample output format, and use of Makefiles.

COMS W3157 Advanced Programming, Lab #1

(100 points total)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------Please read this assignment carefully and follow the instructions
EXACTLY.

Submission
----------Please refer to the lab retrieval and submission instruction, which outlines
the only way to submit your lab assignments. Please do not email me your
code.
If a lab assignment consists of multiple parts, your code for each part must
be in a subdirectory (named "part1", "part2", etc.)
Please include README.txt in the top level directory.
README.txt should contain the following info:
-

At a minimum,

your name
your UNI
lab assignment number
description of your solution

The description can be as short as "My code works exactly as specified in


the lab." You may also want to include anything else you would like to
communicate to the grader such as extra functionalities you implemented or
how you tried to fix your non-working code.

Makefile
--------If a part asks for a program, you must provide a Makefile. The TAs will
make no attempt to compile your program other than typing "make".
The sample Makefile in the lecture note is a good starting point for the
Makefile you need to write for this lab. If you understand everything about
the sample Makefile, you should have no problem writing this labs Makefile.
Here are some additional documentations on Make:
- Stanford CS Education Library has a nice short tutorial on
Makefiles. See Unix Programming Tools, Section 2, available at
http://cslibrary.stanford.edu/107/.
- The manual for make is available at
http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html. Reading the
first couple of chapters should be sufficient for basic
understanding.
There are a few rules that we will follow when writing makefiles in
this class:
- Always provide a "clean" target to remove the intermediate and
executable files.

- Compile with gcc rather than cc.


- Use "-Wall" option for all compilations.
- Use "-g" option for compiling and linking.
The sample Makefile follows all these rules.

Part 1 (50 points)


-----------------Write a C program that reads 2 positive integers from the user, and
prints:
- the average of the two (this should be printed as a floating point
number.)
- whether each number is a prime number or not
- whether the two numbers are relatively prime or not (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coprime if you dont know what this
means.)
You can assume that the user will input only positive integers, i.e.,
dont do any error checking.
In order to see if two numbers are relatively prime, you should
calculate the GCD using Euclidean algorithm. You are allowed to look
up the algorithm and/or code on the Internet, in which case you should
cite the source in your README.txt file.
Your code should be organized as follows:
- gcd.h & gcd.c: GCD calculation function header and definition
- prime.h & prime.c: prime number testing function header and
definition
- main.c: everything else
- Makefile
All files must be named EXACTLY as above, case-sensitive.
"make", it should build an executable file called "main".

When you run

The makefile should have correct dependencies. For example, if you


build everything, change prime.h, and run make again, only prime.c and
main.c should recompile, not gcd.c. (You can simulate changing a file
by using touch command.)
You can use
printf("You typed in %d and %d\n", x, y);
to print integers, and
printf("The average is: %f\n", avg);

to print a floating point number.


And you can use
scanf("%d", &x);
to read an integer that the user types in.
in front of the variable.

Dont forget the ampersand

Part 2 (50 points)


-----------------Write a C program called "convert" that reads a signed decimal integer from
the user and prints the number in 4 different ways: signed decimal, unsigned
decimal, hexadecimal, and binary.
Here are a few example runs of the program:
$ ./convert
-1
signed dec:
unsigned dec:
hex:
binary:

-1
4294967295
ffffffff
1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111

$ ./convert
256
signed dec:
unsigned dec:
hex:
binary:

256
256
100
0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 0000 0000

There is a bash shell trick that you might find useful for testing your
program. You can evaluate an arithmetic expression like this:
$ echo $(( 1 + 2 + 3 ))
6
In addition, you can take the output of one program, and feed it as a user
input to another program by chaining the two programs with | character.
So, you can input the minimum 32-bit integer like this:
$ echo $(( -2
signed dec:
unsigned dec:
hex:
binary:

* 1024 * 1024 * 1024 )) | ./convert


-2147483648
2147483648
80000000
1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000

Note that your program must behave EXACTLY the same as the sample runs shown
above. Given the same number, your program must generate the EXACT same
output--same order, same strings, same spacing.
To help you get started, I gave you a little C program called printf-test.c
in the lab 1 skeleton code. Please take a look at it. Good luck!
