C - Functions, nested loops

Resources

Read or watch:

Learning Objectives

At the end of this project, you are expected to be able to explain to anyone, without the help of Google:

General

  • What are nested loops and how to use them
  • What is a function and how do you use functions
  • What is the difference between a declaration and a definition of a function
  • What is a prototype
  • Scope of variables
  • What are the gcc flags -Wall -Werror -pedantic -Wextra -std=gnu89
  • What are header files and how to to use them with #include

Requirements

General

  • Allowed editors: {vi, vim, emacs}
  • All your files will be compiled on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS using gcc, using the options -Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic -std=gnu89
  • All your files should end with a new line
  • A README.md file, at the root of the folder of the project is mandatory
  • Your code should use the Betty style. It will be checked using betty-style.pl and betty-doc.pl
  • You are not allowed to use global variables
  • No more than 5 functions per file
  • You are not allowed to use the standard library. Any use of functions like printf, puts, etc… is forbidden
  • You are allowed to use _putchar
  • You don’t have to push _putchar.c, we will use our file. If you do it won’t be taken into account
  • In the following examples, the main.c files are shown as examples. You can use them to test your functions, but you don’t have to push them to your repo (if you do we won’t take them into account). We will use our own main.cfiles at compilation. Our main.c files might be different from the one shown in the examples
  • The prototypes of all your functions and the prototype of the function _putchar should be included in your header file called main.h
  • Don’t forget to push your header file

Tasks

Write a program that prints _putchar, followed by a new line.

  • The program should return 0
root@ubuntu:~/functions_nested_loops$  gcc -Wall -pedantic -Werror -Wextra -std=gnu89 _putchar.c 0-putchar.c -o 0-putchar
root@ubuntu:~/functions_nested_loops$ ./0-putchar
_putchar
root@ubuntu:~/functions_nested_loops$

Repo :

Write a function that prints the alphabet, in lowercase, followed by a new line.

  • Prototype: void print_alphabet(void);
  • You can only use _putchar twice in your code
root@ubuntu:~/functions_nested_loops$ cat 1-main.c
#include "main.h"

/**
 * main - check the code.
 *
 * Return: Always 0.
 */
  int main(void)
  {
      print_alphabet();
      return (0);
  }

  root@ubuntu:~/functions_nested_loops$ ./1-alphabet
  abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
  root@ubuntu:~/functions_nested_loops$

Repo :

Write a function that prints 10 times the alphabet, in lowercase, followed by a new line.

  • Prototype: void print_alphabet_x10(void);
  • You can only use _putchar twice in your code

If we list all the natural numbers below 10 that are multiples of 3 or 5, we get 3, 5, 6 and 9. The sum of these multiples is 23. Write a program that computes and prints the sum of all the multiples of 3 or 5 below 1024 (excluded), followed by a new line.

  • You are allowed to use the standard library

Repo :

Write a program that prints the first 50 Fibonacci numbers, starting with 1 and 2, followed by a new line.

  • The numbers must be separated by comma, followed by a space ,
  • You are allowed to use the standard library

Repo :

Each new term in the Fibonacci sequence is generated by adding the previous two terms. By starting with 1 and 2, the first 10 terms will be: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89. By considering the terms in the Fibonacci sequence whose values do not exceed 4,000,000, write a program that finds and prints the sum of the even-valued terms, followed by a new line.

Repo :

Write a program that finds and prints the first 98 Fibonacci numbers, starting with 1 and 2, followed by a new line.
