HW-3 10 points
Malloc the Barbarian and Calloc, his faithful wife,
are heroes in Tatooinian folklore. You will honor
their memory with this assignment.
Write a C program (no system commands allowed) to
numerically merge the three integer list files
(list0.txt, list1.txt, and list2.txt). The output
must be a file called hw3.out and the output must
be numerically sorted.
Your code must use malloc/calloc to create dynamically
allocated arrays to hold the data. Also, you MUST call
free() as appropriate.
Note that you CANNOT cheat by using Linux commands to
do this. It must be done entirely in your C code.
Note that the size of the files will NOT be the same
as those on my website. They may be larger or smaller.
Hint:
Foghorn Leghorn: I need, I say, I need a pointer, and
that dog's got just the head for it. Pointed, that is.
More Hints:
1. Assume integers.
2. Determine file sizes first (they may be different).
3. Create a single dynamic array to hold all of the numbers.
4. Sort the numbers.
5. Write result to hw3.out.
6. man 3 malloc or calloc.
7. man 3 feof.
