Assignment #1 - C Programming Basics

Assignment #1 - C Programming Basics
Note: Study the example output (see below) before beginning, as it will help you understand what needs to be done.
1.    Create a directory for your assignments and copy the file into it. Change into that directory.
% mkdir cmpsc311
% cp assign1-starter.tgz cmpsc311
% cd cmpsc311
% tar xvzf assign1-starter.tgz
% cd assign1
Once unpacked, you will have the following starter files in the assign1 directory: Makefile, assign1-cmpsc311-sp20.c, test-large.txt and assign1-sample-output.txt. The Makefile contains commands to make your program from the source code. cmpsc311-sum19-assign1.c contains the main function which reads in values from standard input, as well as calls the functions you are to create as part of this exercise. The test-large.txt file contains sample input for your program, and the assign1-sample-output.txt shows a sample output run using the sample input. Note that during testing, other inputs will be given.
2.    You are to complete the assign1-cmpsc311-sp20 program. The assign1-cmpsc311-sp20 program receives an array of floating point values, one per line and executes a number of operations and functions. Complete the code in the assign1-cmpsc311-sp20.c per the instructions below. Locations where code or declarations need to be added or completed are indicated by ???. The code should:
o    Step #1 - Read in the float numbers to process from standard input (this is done for you, so you don't need to add code). Note that there will be exactly NUM_TEST_ELEMENTS elements read.
o    Step #2 - Alter the values of the float array as follows: all even numbered indices of the array should be multiplied by 0.78 if the value is greater than 50 and 1.04 otherwise. All odd valued indices should multiplied by 0.92 if the value is greater than 50 and 1.15 otherwise.
o    Step #3 - Create a function round311 that rounds a floating point number to the nearest integer, where you round up if the value to the right of the decimal place is 0.5 or higher. Round all of the values of the floating point array to integers (but do not alter the original value in the floating point array) and assign the rounded values to the same index of the i_array using the round311 function.
o    Step #4 - Create a function printfloatArr311 that prints all of the values of an array, comma separated (with no trailing comma and newline at the end). The function should receive as parameters a pointer to an array of floats and a size of the array (integer). Each value should be printed with exactly 2 digits to the right of the decimal point.
o    Step #5 - Create a function printIntArr311 that prints all of the values of an array, comma separated (with no trailing comma and newline at the end). The function should receive as parameters a pointer to an array of integers and a size of the array (integer). Print out all of the floating point numbers in the array in order on a SINGLE line using the printfloatArr311 function.
o    Step #6 - Write a bubble sort function bubbleSort311 that receives a pointer to an array of integers and a size of the array (integer). An example of the algorithm can be found here (Links to an external site.). Pass the integer array i_array into the function and sort it. The function should receive as parameters a pointer to an array of integers and a size of the array (integer). Use printIntArr311 to print out the array as in the previous step.
o    Step #7 - Create a function toBinary that receives a byte (char) and prints is value out in binary (with spaces every nibble). Print out the first 5 values in i_array using this function.
o    Step #8 - Create a function countRange311 that receives reference to an array of floating point values, a integer indicating how many elements z are in the array and a int minimum and maximum values. The function will return the number of elements (after rounding) between min and max (inclusive). Next, declare an array of 10 integers at the top of the main function. Fill the array with a count of the number of values for each set of tens within the floating point array, i.e. index 0 will contain the count of rounded values in the array 0-9 >, the second will be 10-19, etc. all the way to 90-99. Use the countRange311 to fill the array.
o    Step #9 - Create a function histogram311 that receives a reference to an array of integer values calculated in the previous step and prints out a histogram showing the counts of the different values. The Y-axis should display count values from 0-19. The function should check the number of elements and return with a -1 value if it is not 10. Otherwise, the function should create a histogram indicating the numbers calculated in Step #8 above. All labels, lines, and framing of the histogram should look like the following (this is exactly what the output for the test input should be, see below).

3.    Add comments to all of your files stating what the code is doing. Fill out the comment function header for each function you are defining in the code. A sample header you can copy for this purpose is provided for the main function in the code. It is very important that your code is neat and legible. You will be penalized if your code is difficult to read.
4.    The assignment starter package also includes a sample input test-large.txt and output test-output1.txt which you can use to test your program. The assign1-sample-output.txt file was input used to produce test-large.txt. To test your program with these inputs, run the code and pipe in the input file to the program as follows:
make && ./assign1-cmpsc311-sp20 < test-large.txt
Please try to make the output for your program as close to that of the test program output.
To turn in:
1.    Create a tarball file containing the assign1 directory, source code and build files as completed above. Upload the tarball by the assignment deadline (11:59pm of the day of the assignment). The tarball should be named LASTNAME-PSUEMAILID-assign1.tgz, where LASTNAME is your last name in all capital letters and PSUEMAILID is your PSU email address without the "@psu.edu". For example, if the professor was submitting the homework, he would call the file MCDANIEL-pdm12-assign1.tgz. Any file that is incorrectly named, has the incorrect directory structure, or has misnamed files, will be assessed a one day late penalty.
2.    Before sending the tarball, test it using the following commands (in a temporary directory -- NOT the directory you used to develop the code):
3.    % tar xvzf LASTNAME-PSUEMAILID-assign1.tgz
4.    % cd assign1
5.    % make
... (TEST THE PROGRAM)
