This is a small programming project. It will be due on Thursday, October 13, because Tuesday, October 11 is during Fall Break. This assignment will count 50 points, twice the value of a programming exericise.
Programming projects are expected to have useful comments. Be sure to include some.
This assignment must be submitted as a single file to the Moodle submission page for Project P7 by 11:00 PM on Thursday, 13 October.
After you have created your project, add a C source file called courses.c that contains nothing more than the single C array declaration and initialization shown below.
char courses[12][6] = { "ART230", "ART231", "ART330",
"ART430", "DAN138", "ECE200",
"ECE209", "ECE310", "EGM482",
"MAE206", "MAE301", "mae301" } ;
Do not use a #INCLUDE for
courses.c. Just put
courses.c in your project, just
like you put
ellipse.c in
Homework E6.
You should not assume that your program only needs to
work with a courses array exactly like the one
above. You should also not assume that all letters in the
courses array will be upper case or that the first three
characters will be letters or that the last three characters
will be digits.
Within your main C file, place the following statement
before the main routine.
extern char courses[12][6] ;
The linker will make sure courses can be used in your program
as an externally defined variable.
In this assignment your program will read a six-character line,
representing a course,
from the user and compare it to the twelve different courses stored
in courses.
For each of the twelve courses, your program should do the following.
First, it prints the name of the course taken from courses.
Second, it compares, character ty character,
the input course with the one from courses.
If the letters are the same when both are translated to lower-case
using C’s tolower routine, the character
| is printed. Otherwise, $ is printed.
Third, it prints the input course.
For example, suppose Egg444 is the input course.
When Egg444 is compared to EGM482,
the following lines should be printed.
EGM482 ||$|$$ Egg444
To verify that your program is correct, you can compare
your output with my output
when the input course is eve002 and
courses is initialized as above.
Do not try to write this program in one setting. Try something like the following.
On Wednesday, write a program that prints each course from
courses once.
On Thursday, write a program that reads an input course and
then prints each course from courses followed
by the input course.
On Friday, show up at the problem session, which will talk about comparing two six-character arrays.
Enjoy your break from Saturday until Tuesday, but spend a couple of hours finishing up your solution.
