CECS 130 EXAM 2

Function Prototype Syntax

return-type function_name ( arg_type arg1, ..., arg_type argN);

Function Prototypes tell you the data type returned by the function, the data type of parameters, how many parameters, and the order of parameters

Function definitions implement the function prototype

Where are function prototypes located in the program?

Where do you find function definitions?

Function Prototypes are placed after preprocessor directives and before the main(){} function.

Function Definitions are self contained outside of the main(){} function

#include <stdio.h> int mult ( int, int );

main() { int x,y; printf( "Please input two numbers to be multiplied: " );

scanf( "%d", &x ); scanf( "%d", &y ); printf( "The product of your two numbers is %d\n", mult( x,

y ) ); getchar(); // To pause the screen, same like system(“pause”)

}

int mult (int x, int y) // Make sure not to end this with a semicolon { return(x * y); }

#include <stdio.h>void print_char( char *, int);

main() { char name[20]=“REACH CRC”;

print_char(name, 3); // The name of the array is a pointer to that array

getchar(); }

void print_char (char *nameStringArray, int x) { printf(“The character specified is: %c”, nameStringArray[x-1]); }

#include <stdio.h> void printReportHeader();

main(){

printReportHeader;}

void printReportHeader(){

printf(“\n Column1\tColumn2\tColumn3\tColumn4 \n”);}

#include <stdio.h> void printReportHeader();

main(){

printReportHeader; // Should be corrected to printReportHeader()}

void printReportHeader(){

printf(“\n Column1\tColumn2\tColumn3\tColumn4 \n”);}

Variable scope defines the life time of a variable

Local Scope: defined within functions and loses scope after function is finished.

Global Scope: defined outside of functions and can be accessed by multiple functions

#include <stdio.h>

void printNumbers();int iNumber;

main() { int x;

for(x=0, x<10,x++){printf(“\n Enter a number:”);scanf(“%d”, &iNumber);printNumbers();

}}

void printNumbers(){

printf(“\n Your number is: %d \n”, iNumber);}

Can you declare a one-dimensional array made up of 10 integers? data_type name[size_of_array] Answer: int iArray[10];

How to declare an Array? int iArray[10]; // Array of 10 integers float fAverages[30]; // Array of 30 floats char cName[19]; // 18 characters and 1 null

character

Why do we initialize? Because memory spaces may not be cleared

from previous values when arrays are created.

Initialize an array directly when we declare it: Example int iArray[5]={0,1,2,3,4};

We csn initialize an array with a loop such as for().

#include <stdio.h>

main(){ int x; int iArray[5];

for( x=0; x < 5 ; x++) { iArray[x] = 0;}

}

Can you add code that will print out the value of each element of iArray?

#include <stdio.h> main()

{int x;int iArray[5];

for( x=0; x < 5 ; x++) {

iArray[x] = 0;}

}

#include <stdio.h> main(){

int x;int iArray[5];

for( x=0; x < 5 ; x++) { iArray[x] = 0;}for(x=0 ; x<5; x++){ printf(“\n The value of iArray index %d is %d \n”, x, iArray[x]);}

}

How do you search through an array?

#include <stdio.h> main(){

int x;int iValue;int iFound = -1;int iArray[5];

for( x=0; x < 5 ; x++) iArray[x] = (x+x);

printf(“\n Enter value to search for:”);scanf(“%d”, &iValue);

for(x=0 ; x<5; x++){ if( iArray[x] ==iValue){ iFound =x;

break; }}if(iFound >-1) printf(“\n I found your search value in element %d \n”,

iFound);else printf(“\n Sorry, your search value was not found \n”);

}

Declaring: data_type name[size_dim_1][size_dim_2]

▪ size_dim_1 is known as “ROW” count.▪ size_dim_2 is known as “COLUMN” count.

int double_array[20][10]

Accessing: printf(“Element 2,5 is: %d”, double_array[2][5]);

Initializing: Use a second, nested FOR() loop

#include <stdio.h> main(){

int x, y, double_array[10][20];for( x=0; x < 10 ; x++) // Outer loop goes with ROW count{ for(y=0 ; y<20; y++) // Inner loop goes with Column count { double_array[x][y] = 0; }}

}

Passing to a function:#include <stdio.h>#include<stdlib.h>void custom_func(int [ ][2]); // Multi dimensional arrays must have a bound main(){

int double_array[2][2]={{1,2},{3,4}};custom_func (double_array);system(“pause”);

}void custom_func (int temp[ ][2]){ printf(“Test: %d, %d, %d”, temp[0][0],temp[0][1],temp[1][1]);}OUTPUT: Test: 1, 2, 4

Pointers are variables that contain memory addresses as their values.

A variable name directly references a value. A pointer indirectly references a value.

Referencing a value through a pointer is called indirection.

A pointer variable must be declared before it can be used.

ALL Arrays are Pointers!

Lect 14 P. 21

Examples of pointer declarations:FILE *fptr; //fptr is a pointer to a fileint *a; //a is a pointer to a filefloat *b; //b is a pointer to a filechar *c; //c is a pointer to a file

The asterisk, when used as above in the declaration, tells the compiler that the variable is to be a pointer, and the type of data that the pointer points to, but NOT the name of the variable pointed to.

Lect 14 P. 22 Winter Quarter

Consider the statements:

#include <stdio.h>int main ( ){

FILE *fptr1 , *fptr2 ; /* Declare two file pointers */ int *aptr ; /* Declare a pointer to an int */ float *bptr ; /* Declare a pointer to a float */ int a ; /* Declare an int variable */ float b ; /* Declare a float variable */ return 0;}

Lect 14 P. 23 Winter Quarter

When is & used?

When is * used?

& -- "address operator" which gives or produces the memory address of a data variable

* -- "dereferencing operator" which provides the contents in the memory location specified by a pointer

Lect 14 P. 24 Winter Quarter

If instead of passing the values of the variables to the called function, we pass their addresses, so that the called function can change the values stored in the calling routine. This is known as "call by reference" since we are referencing the variables.

The following shows a swap function modified from a "call by value" to a "call by reference". Note that the values are now actually swapped when the control is returned to main function.

Unary operator (&) – “Address of”int x=10;int *xptr;xptr = &x; //xptr now points to x

Indirection operator (*)int x, y = 10;int *xptr;xptr = &y;x = *xptr //copies contents of y into x

Lect 14 P. 26

#include <stdio.h>void swap ( int *, int *) ;int main ( ){ int a = 5, b = 6; printf("a=%d b=%d\n",a,b) ; swap (&a, &b) ; printf("a=%d b=%d\n",a,b) ; return 0 ;}

void swap( int *a, int *b ){ int temp; temp= *a; *a= *b; *b = temp ; printf ("a=%d b=%d\n", *a, *b);}Output:a=5 b=6 //printed from maina=6 b=5 //printed from inside

swapa=6 b=5 // printed from main

after calling swap function

To avoid accidently changing the value the pointer points to: Use const

void custom(const int *);main(){}void custom(const int *){

}

Strings are character arrays that have a special set of functions for handling their data as complete sentences or “strings” of characters.

Since a string is an array it is also a pointer.

Character literals are expressed with a single quote: char example=‘a’;

String literals are expressed with double quote:char example[10]=“REACH”;

When determining the maximum length your string variable needs to be it is important to consider a NULL Character: “\0”

char example[10]=“REACH”;example[0] -> Rexample[1] -> Eexample[2] -> Aexample[3] -> Cexample[4] -> Hexample[5] -> \0

#include <stdio.h>#include<stdlib.h>#include <string.h>

int main (){ char szInput[256]; printf ("Enter a sentence: "); gets (szInput); printf ("The sentence entered is %u characters long.\n",(unsigned)strlen(szInput));

System(“pause”); return 0;}

Output:Enter sentence: just testingThe sentence entered is 12 characters long.

#include <stdio.h>#include <ctype.h>int main (){ int i=0; char str[]="Test String.\n"; char c; while (str[i]) { c=str[i]; putchar (tolower(c)); i++; } return 0;}

Output:

test string.

For toupper() will be same case, just replace tolower() by toupper()

#include <stdio.h>#include <string.h>

int main (){

char str1[]="Sample string"; char str2[40]; char str3[40]; strcpy (str2,str1); strcpy (str3,"copy successful"); printf ("str1: %s\nstr2: %s\nstr3: %s\n",str1,str2,str3); return 0;

}

Output:

str1: Sample stringstr2: Sample stringstr3: copy successful

#include <stdio.h>#include <string.h>

int main (){ char str[80]; strcpy (str,"these "); strcat (str,"strings "); strcat (str,"are "); strcat (str,"concatenated."); puts (str); return 0;}

Output:these strings are concatenated.

#include <stdio.h>#include <string.h>

int main (){ char szKey[] = "apple"; char szInput[80]; do { printf ("Guess my favourite fruit? "); gets (szInput); } while (strcmp (szKey,szInput) != 0); puts ("Correct answer!"); return 0;}

Output:Guess my favourite fruit? orange Guess my favourite fruit? appleCorrect answer!

/*This example searches for the "simple" substring in str and replaces that word for "sample".*/#include <stdio.h>#include <string.h>

int main (){ char str[] ="This is a simple string"; char * pch; pch = strstr (str,"simple") ; /* returns a pointer to first occurrence of

“simple” in str*/ strncpy (pch,"sample",6); // copies 6 characters from source->pch puts (str); return 0;}

Output:This is a sample string

Can you make a program to sort an array of 10 integers either ascending or descending order?Consider you have the array[10]={7,8,5,3,0,3,2,1,4,10}Write a code to do the sorting.

#include<stdio.h>

int main(){int array[10]={7,8,5,3,0,3,2,1,4,10};int temp=0,i,j; for(i=0;i<10;i++) // print the array before sorting printf(“%d\n”,array[i]); for(i=0;i<10;i++) for(j=0;j<10;j++) { if(array[i]<array[j]) /* This will do Ascending order, if you need Descending order just

flip the < to > */ { temp=array[i]; // This will do the swapping array[i]=array[j]; array[j]=temp; } } for(i=0;i<10;i++) // print the array after sorting printf(“%5d “,array[i]); getchar(); return 0;}

Can you modify the previous code to pass the array to a function that will sort the array and print the sorted array in main.

#include<stdio.h>

void sortArray(int [ ],int size); int array[10]={7,8,5,3,0,3,2,1,4,10};int temp=0,i,j;

int main(){ for(i=0;i<10;i++) printf(“%d\n”,array[i]); sortArray(array,10); for(i=0;i<10;i++) printf(“%5d”,array[i]); getchar(); return 0;}

void sortArray(int passedArray[ ],int arraySize){ for(i=0;i<arraySize;i++) for(j=0;j<arraySize;j++) { if(passedArray[i]<passedArray[j]) { temp=passedArray[i]; passedArray[i]=passedArray[j]; passedArray[j]=temp; } } }

Calling the function sortArray(array,10) is equivalent to sortArray(&array[0],10)

A data structure is a group of data elements grouped together under one name. These data elements, known as members, can have different types and different lengths. Data structures are declared in C/C++ using the following syntax:

struct structure_name {member_type1 member_name1;member_type2 member_name2;member_type3 member_name3;..} object_names;

struct product { int weight; float price; } ; product apple; product banana, melon;

Or you can do it this way:

struct product { int weight; float price; } apple, banana, melon;

apple.weight apple.price banana.weightbanana.pricemelon.weight melon.price

} #include <stdio.h>#include<stdlib.h>

using namespace std;

struct database { int id_number; int age; float salary;};

int main(){ database employee; //There is now an employee variable that has modifiable // variables inside it. employee.age = 22; employee.id_number = 1; employee.salary = 12000.21; printf(" Employee Age is : %d\n Employee ID is : %d\n Employee Salary is :%.2f\n" ,employee.age,employee.id_number,employee.salary); system("pause");}

union u_tag { int ival; float fval; char *sval; } u;

#include <stdio.h>#include<stdlib.h>

int main(){ union data { char a; int x; float f; } myData;

int mode = 1;myData.a = 'A';printf("Here is the Data:\n%c\n%i\n%.3f\n", myData.a, myData.x, myData.f );

myData.x = 42;mode = 2;printf("Here is the Data:\n%c\n%i\n%.3f\n", myData.a, myData.x, myData.f );

myData.f = 101.357;mode = 3;printf("Here is the Data:\n%c\n%i\n%.3f\n", myData.a, myData.x, myData.f );

if( mode == 1 )printf("The char is being used\n");else if( mode == 2 )printf("The int is being used\n");else if( mode == 3 )printf("The float is being used\n");system("pause");return 0;}

The difference between structure and union in c are:

1. Union allocates the memory equal to the maximum memory required by the member of the union but structure allocates the memory equal to the total memory required by the members.

2. In union, one block is used by all the member of the union but in case of structure, each member have their own memory space  

Good Luck from REACH in your Test.
