Instructions
Write a program that
Reads a CSV file with movie data that is provided to the program as an argument
Processes the data in the file to create structs to hold data for each movie
Creates a linked list of all these structs
Gives user choices to ask questions about the movies in the data
Prints out the data about the movies per user choice
Format of the CSV File
Here is a sample file (https://canvas.oregonstate.edu/courses/1890464/files/94288613/download) whose
format corresponds to the format of the CSV file your program will be tested with.
The first line in the input file will always be the header line containing the column headers (i.e., it
will not have data for a movie).
All the other lines will have the data for a movie in valid format and no columns will be missing.
The file will not have any empty lines.
The file will contain data for at least one movie.
Don't assume a maximum number of movies in the file.
Commas appear as delimiters between columns, but will not appear in the values of any columns.

https://canvas.oregonstate.edu/courses/1890464/assignments/8931979 2/7
The name of the input file will be less than 50 characters and will not contain any spaces.
Don't assume that the input file name will have a particular extension.
This file has the following columns:
1. Title
This is a string with the movie title.
E.g., Iron Man 2
You cannot assume a maximum length of the movie title.
2. Year
This is a 4 digit integer value for the year the movie was released
It's value will be between 1900 and 2021 (inclusive of these years).
E.g., 2010
3. Languages
The language or languages in which the movie was released.
One or more string values that are always enclosed within []
Multiple values are separated by semi-colons.
E.g,
[English;Portuguese;Spanish]
[English;French]
[English]
You can assume that the maximum number of languages any movie can be released in is 5.
You can assume that the maximum length of a particular language is 20 characters.
You cannot assume any particular case for the letters in the language.
E.g., don't assume that the first letter is upper case, or that all letters are lowercase.
4. Rating Value
A number between 1 and 10 (inclusive of both 1 and 10)
It can be an integer or a double with one digit after the decimal point
E.g.,
5
8.7
Program Functionality
Process the input file
When your program starts it must read all data from the file and process it. After processing the file,
the program must print the following message to stdout
"Processed file XYZ and parsed data for M movies"
where XYZ is the name of the file that has been process and M is the number of movies whose data
has been processed (this will be 1 less than than the number of lines in the file because the first line
has the column headers).
E.g., Processed file movies_sample_1.csv and parsed data for 24 movies

Interactive Functionality
Next your program should display a menus of interactive choices to the user and process the
selected choice as described below. For the text of messages to print, see the section "Sample
Program Execution."
1. Show movies released in a specified year
If the user chooses this option, then ask them to enter a year and
Display the names of all the movies released in that year, one on each line
If the data doesn't have any movies released in that year, print a message about this.
Your program can assume that the user will enter a 4 digit integer for the year between 1900 and
2021 (inclusive of these years)
2. Show highest rated movie for each year
If the user chooses this option, then for each year for which at least one movie was released,
display a movie that had the highest rating along with the year and the rating with one line per
year.
In case of ties, display any one movie that had the highest rating that year.
Display the data in the form: YYYY RatingValue MovieTitle
The data doesn't have to be sorted by year or by rating value.
E.g.,
2010 8.5 Avengers: Infinity War
2012 8.1 The Avengers
3. Show movies and their year of release for a specific language
If the user chooses this option, ask them to enter a language and
For all movies released in the specified language
Display the year of release and the movie title, one line per movie
If the data doesn't include any movie released in this language, print a message about it.
You should only do an exact match on the language entered by the user
E.g., "English" shouldn’t match "english"
You can assume that the length of the language string entered by the user will be less than 20
character.
4. Exit
If the user choose this option, the program should exit.
Notes:
For the interaction choice if the user enters an incorrect integer (i.e., something other than 1 to 4),
print an error message and again present the 4 choices to the user.
You can assume that when the program asks user to enter an integer, the user will indeed enter
an integer (i.e., you don't need to verify the data type of the user input).
Don't assume that the languages in the test file will be the same as the ones that appear in the
sample file.

https://canvas.oregonstate.edu/courses/1890464/assignments/8931979 4/7
Don’t make an assumption about the number of distinct languages that can appear in the test file.
Technical Requirements
Your program is required to
1. Read data from the file line by line
2. Break-up the line into tokens
3. Create a struct called movie with the data for that line
4. Create a linked list containing all the movie structures
See the Resources section (below) to access sample code that you can adapt to meet these
technical requirements.

Hints
Code the functionality incrementally, constantly testing it and using version control (e.g., Git) to
track changes.
You can use the Grading Rubric as a guide to incrementally develop the functionality.
To convert a string to int, you can use the function atoi (https://man7.org/linux/manpages/man3/atoi.3.html) .
To convert a string to a double, you can use the function strtod (https://man7.org/linux/manpages/man3/strtod.3.html) .
To extract tokens from a string, use strtok_r (https://man7.org/linux/manpages/man3/strtok_r.3.html) instead of strtok.

Assignment 1 Movies
To print a variable of data type double to one decimal space, use "%.1f" for this variable in the
format string passed to printf (https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/printf.1.html) .
Resources
We have provided an example program main.c (https://repl.it/@cs344/studentsc#main.c) that
reads a space delimited text file with student data, processes it line by line, creates a linked list of
student structs with that data and then prints that data.
In your assignment, you can use and adapt any code from this program and also any code
presented in the explorations.
A sample file with student info that you can use with this program is available here
(https://repl.it/@cs344/studentsc#student_info1.txt) .
You can compile and run the program by using the following commands:
gcc --std=gnu99 -o students main.c
./students student_info1.txt
What to turn in?
You can only use C for coding this assignment and you must use the gcc compiler.
You can use C99 or GNU99 standard or the default standard used by the gcc installation on os1.
Your assignment will be graded on os1.
Submit a single zip file with all your code, which can be in as many different files as you want.
This zip file must be named youronid_program1.zip where youronid should be replaced by your
own ONID.
E.g., if chaudhrn was submitting the assignment, the file must be named
chaudhrn_program1.zip .
In the zip file, you must include a text file called README.txt that contains instructions on how to
compile your code using gcc to create an executable file that must be named movies .
When you resubmit a file in Canvas, Canvas can attach a suffix to the file, e.g., the file name may
become chaudhrn_program1-1.zip . Don't worry about this name change as no points will be
deducted because of this.
Grading Criteria
The value of items that are being graded are described in the grading rubric.
The grading will be done on os1 by running the program against one or more CSV files that have
the exact format of the sample CSV file but with different data.
