Logistics

  • Due: Wednesday, September 4th AoE.
  • Submission instructions: make sure that the required file (remainder.c) is in your /classwork/week3/wed/ directory.
  • Deadline reminder: after the deadline passes, you cannot earn any points for this assignment.

Learning outcomes

  • Write a function in C.
  • Use a function prototype and define your function below main.

Assignment

  • Log in to the server.
  • From your home directory, navigate to csci112_fall2024/classwork/week3/wed/, creating directories week3 and wed if necessary.
  • Copy the file with the starting code and make sure that it is renamed to remainder.c. It’s the file starting_code.c in the directory /public/classwork/week3/wed. You will probably need to use the cp command, and maybe the mv command if you didn’t rename your file when you copied it. See the Linux notes from the first lecture for a review of those commands.
  • Once you have the starting code (in a file renamed remainder.c), open it and add the definition of the function compute_remainder. Hint: The % (mod operator) computes the remainder. For example, 12 % 4 returns 0, whereas 22 % 10 returns 2. The body of your function may be only one or two lines.
  • Compile your program to the executable file exe (or other filename of your choice) using gcc -o exe -Wall remainder.c.
  • Run your program using ./exe.

You can run the autograder by running

/public/classwork/week3/wed/autograder.sh

The file autograder.txt will be created with your score.

Grading turnaround

Final scores will be run at 6am on the due date and scores will be uploaded to D2L by the next class meeting.
