ECE 4122/6122 Hmk #1 (100 pts)
Problem 1: One more One
(www.projecteuler.net) Consider the following process that can be applied recursively to any
positive integer n:
• if n=1, do nothing and the process stops,
• if n is divisible by 7, divide it by 7,
• otherwise add 1.
The write a console program that takes in a number n from the console and outputs to the
console the number of 1's that must be added to the positive integer n before the process
above ends.
Sample Sequence:
125
+1
�� 126
÷7
�� 18
+1
�� 19
+1
�� 20
+1
�� 21
÷7
�� 3
+1
�� 4
+1
�� 5
+1
�� 6
+1
�� 7
÷7
�� 1
Example Input:
Please enter the starting number n: 125
The sequence had 8 instances of the number 1 being added

Problem 2: Numerical Integration
Write a console program to numerically calculate the value of the following integral, using the
“midpoint” rule.
� 4
(1 + 𝑥𝑥2)
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑
𝛽𝛽
0
The program should ask the user to enter β (type double) and the number of subdivisions, N
(type unsigned long) on separate lines. The value (type double) of the integral should be
displayed on the following line.
Example Input:
Please enter a value for the upper limit (beta): 1.0
Please enter the number of subdivisions to use: 10000000
The integral evaluates to: <answer>
Check your code:
When β =1.0 the integral is equal to π. Your answer should approach the exact value of π as N
increases.
Midpoint Rule:
The integral is equal to the area underneath the function from 0 to β. We can approximate the
integral as the sum of the area of rectangles. The height of the rectangle is F(x) at the midpoint
of the rectangle and the width is ∆𝑥𝑥 as shown below.
� 𝐹𝐹(𝑥𝑥)𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 ≅ �𝐹𝐹(𝑥𝑥𝑖𝑖) ∗ ∆𝑥𝑥

Problem 3 (ECE 6122 students only):
(www.projecteuler.net) The Knights of the Order of Fibonacci are preparing a grand feast for
their king. There are n knights, and each knight is assigned a distinct number from 1 to n.
When the knights sit down at the roundtable for their feast, they follow a peculiar seating rule:
two knights can only sit next to each other if their respective numbers sum to a Fibonacci
number.
When the n knights all try to sit down around a circular table with n chairs, they are unable to
find a suitable seating arrangement for any n > 2 despite their best efforts. Just when they are
about to give up, they remember that the king will sit on his throne at the table as well.
Suppose there are n = 7 knights and 7 chairs at the roundtable, in addition to the king’s throne.
After some trial and error, they come up with the following seating arrangement (K represents
the king):
Following the rules above, write a console program that prompts the user for the number of
knights, n (type unsigned long). The program then determines if the rules above can be
satisfied. If a solution is found, then output to the console the solution in a clockwise fashion
starting with the king. If no solution is possible then output “No solution found!”
Example Input/Check your code:
Please enter the number of knights: 7
The knights should sit clockwise as follows: K, 4, 1, 7, 6, 2, 3, 5

Appendix A: Coding Standards
Indentation:
When using if/for/while statements, make sure you indent 4 spaces for the content inside those. Also
make sure that you use spaces to make the code more readable.
For example:
for (int i; i < 10; i++)
{
 j = j + i;
}
If you have nested statements, you should use multiple indentions. Each { should be on its own line (like
the for loop) If you have else or else if statements after your if statement, they should be on their own
line.
for (int i; i < 10; i++)
{
 if (i < 5)
 {
 counter++;
 k -= i;
 }
 else
 {
 k +=1;
 }
 j += i;
}
Camel Case:
This naming convention has the first letter of the variable be lower case, and the first letter in each new
word be capitalized (e.g. firstSecondThird). This applies for functions and member functions as well! The
main exception to this is class names, where the first letter should also be capitalized.
Variable and Function Names:
Your variable and function names should be clear about what that variable or function is. Do not use one
letter variables, but use abbreviations when it is appropriate (for example: “imag" instead of
“imaginary”). The more descriptive your variable and function names are, the more readable your code
will be. This is the idea behind self-documenting code.
7
File Headers:
Every file should have the following header at the top
/*
Author: <your name>
Class: ECE4122 or ECE6122
Last Date Modified: <date>
Description:
What is the purpose of this file?
*/
Code Comments:
1. Every function must have a comment section describing the purpose of the function, the input
and output parameters, the return value (if any).
2. Every class must have a comment section to describe the purpose of the class.
3. Comments need to be placed inside of functions/loops to assist in the understanding of the flow
of the code.

Appendix B: Accessing PACE-ICE Instructions
ACCESSING LINUX PACE-ICE CLUSTER (SERVER)
To access the PACE-ICE cluster you need certain software on your laptop or desktop system, as described
below.
Windows Users:
Option 0 (Using SecureCRT)- THIS IS THE EASIEST OPTION!
The Georgia Tech Office of Information Technology (OIT) maintains a web page of software that can be
downloaded and installed by students and faculty. That web page is:
http://software.oit.gatech.edu
From that page you will need to install SecureCRT.
To access this software, you will first have to log in with your Georgia Tech user name and password,
then answer a series of questions regarding export controls.
Connecting using SecureCRT should be easy.
• Open SecureCRT, you'll be presented with the "Quick Connect" screen.
• Choose protocol "ssh2".
• Enter the name of the CoC machine you wish to connect to in the "HostName" box (i.e.
coc-ice.pace.gatech.edu)
• Type your username in the "Username" box.
• Click "Connect".
• A new window will open, and you'll be prompted for your password.
