CompE160 Mid-term EXAM Closed book/notes Fall 2013 s1

SOLUTIONS

1. Read the following statements and fill in the correct answers for the values of each variable AFTER this block of statements has been executed. { int a = 1; int b = 2; a = b--; } When complete a = 2, b = 1 NOTE b is copied into a BEFORE b is decremented by 1 Same as: a=b; b=b-1; 10 pts

2. Complete main() below, so that main() prints n, n-1, n-2 ... 1 using a for loop. The output should look like this with input = 5: Enter n: 5 5 4 3 2 1 //Complete the program: #include <stdio.h> void main(void) // print 1..n { int n; printf(\n Enter n: \n); scanf(%d, &n); for ( n=5; n>0; n--) // count down from n..1, and print n { printf("%d ", n); } } // note n is modified

3. Complete main() so that it count up and prints the numbers 1..n substituting T if the number is a multiple of 3, and F if it is a multiple of 5, and TF if it is a multiple of both 3 and 5. Like this: Enter n: 17 1 2 T 4 F T 7 8 T F 11 T 13 14 TF 16 17 #include <stdio.h> void main(void) { int n; int counter = 1; printf(\n Enter n: \n); scanf(%d, &n); while ( counter <= n ) // count up 1..n using while { if (counter%3 == 0) // alterantively: if (counter/3 == 0) printf("T"); // print T if (counter%5 == 0) // alterantively: if (counter/5 == 0) printf("F"); // print F if ((counter%3 != 0) && (counter%5 != 0)) //not 3 or 5 printf("%d", counter); // and print count printf(" "); counter++; } } // note n is unchanged 30 pts

4. Write a function with a prototype: float plustax(float subtotal, float tax); Calculates and returns the total price plus tax, given a pre-tax subtotal and the tax rate. If called with arguments subtotal = 10.00 and tax = 0.08, it would return 10.8 float plustax(float subtotal, float tax) { float taxamount; taxamount = subtotal * tax; return subtotal+taxamount; } // or just: return (1+tax)*subtotal; 20 pts Page 2

5. Write the code for the function in the prototype: int str_spaceremaining ( char *s, int size ); Assume the string argument s has been initialized in the calling function as a char array of size characters containing a string of unknown length. The length must be somewhere in the range 0 and size-1 chars. Calculate and return the number of remaining available and unused characters available in the string s. It should indicate how many additional characters could be stored in string s without exceeding the size of s, in addition to whatever string is currently stored there. Do not use any string.h library functions. int str_spaceremaining ( char *s, int size ) { int s_length = 0; while (s[s_length] != '\0') s_length++; // now return remaining space in s[] return size-s_length-1; // allowing for the '\0' null at the end of the string } 20 pts 6. For the following code fill in the blanks: #include <stdio.h> void mysteryxy ( int *x, int *y ); void main (void) { int a=1, b=2; mysteryxy (&a, &b); printf("\n a = %d, b = %d", a, b); } void mysteryxy ( int *x, int *y ) // fill in the values // of variables a & b below { //............................. a = 1 b = 2 *x=*x+*y; // a = a+b = 1+2 = 3 //............................. a = _3_ b = _2_ *y=*x-*y; // b = a-b = 3-2 = 1 //............................. a = _3_ b = _1_ *x=*x-*y; // a = a-b = 3-1 = 2 } What does main() print out: a = _2_, b = _1_ 30 pts Page 3

7. For the function below, when mystery2() is called with arguments x=2 and n=3, what value is returned? int mystery2(int x, int n) return value: _23 = 8_ { int i, p; // called with x=2, n=3 p = 1; for (i = 1; i <= n; i++) // iterations: { // i = 1 2 3 p = p * x; // p = 2 4 8 } return p; } 20 pts
