Description

Most high-level programming languages (and particularly Java) insulate the programmer from the realities of the hardware on which the programs will run. C is the exception since it was originally designed to implement the Unix operating system. C offers the programmer direct access to much of the underlying hardware and, for programs running under Unix, direct access to operating system services. For these reasons C remains the language of choice for systems programming.

This is a (short) course on "low-level" programming using C. We will learn C with heavy emphasis on pointer operations.

Project 2 Submission Requirement Annoucement

10/20/14 - 10:29 PM

All,

In order to run MOSS, we need you to submit project 2 as follows.

(1) Name your c source file as <your email account>_<your section>_project2.c.

For example, cliu6_section0_project2.c

(2) Name your script as <your email account>_<your section>_project2.

For example, cliu6_section0_project2.

If you used other name for the script, change it by using unix command "mv".

(3) Your Makefile should include "clean" as well. Makefile name is still "Makefile".

(4) use tar cvf to compress all files including source code, Makefile and script to <your email accout>_<your section>_project2.tar. NOTICE: DO NOT compress the folder. PLEASE compress files directly.

For example, if all your files are in directory ./Proejct2. You do the following steps.

a. cd ./Project2

b tar cvf cliu6_section0_project2.tar <related file names> or tar cvf cliu6_section0_project2.tar * ( * means all files in this directory)

(5) Double check the above procedures before you submit the compressed tar file.

Also, students should put commented names in the code, which is a good habit.

Thank you.
