2. Name 5 ways to improve your skills as a programmer

1. What makes one person’s code better/worse than another?


C Standard Library

Standard libraries promote cross-platform compatibility.

Useful for building complex programs. Functions, types, and macros of the standard

library are accessed by the #include directive. Headers may be included in any order (and any

number of times). Actual I/O libraries can be linked statically or

dynamically.

a) absb) malloc / freec) memcpy / memsetd) printf / putchar

2. What is an I/O Stream?

BYU CS 224


I/O Data Streams

I/O is not directly supported by C but by a set of standard library functions defined by the ANSI C standard.

The stdio.h header file contains function declarations for I/O and preprocessor macros related to I/O.

stdio.h does not contain the source code for I/O library functions! All C character based I/O is performed on streams.

All I/O streams must be opened and closed A sequence of characters received from the keyboard is an

example of a text stream In standard C there are 3 streams automatically opened

upon program execution: stdin is the input stream stdout is the output stream stderr stream for error messages

Data Streams


Formatted Output

The printf function outputs formatted values to the stdout stream using putc

printf( const char *format, ... );

The format string contains two object types: Ordinary characters that are copied to the output

stream Conversion specifications which cause conversion

and printing of the next argument in the argument list.

printf("\nX = %d, Y = %d", x, y);

printf()

Conversionspecifications Characters


Format Options

The format specifier uses the format: %[flags][width][.precision][length]specifier

Formatting options are inserted between the % and the conversion character: Field width "%4d" Length modifier "%ld" Left justified "%-4d" Zero padded "%04d" Sign "%+4d" Variable field width "%*d" Characters "\a", "\b", "\n", "\r", "\t", "\v", "\xnn"

printf()

Specifiers:Decimal %d or %iString %sCharacter %cHexadecimal %xUnsigned decimal %uFloating point %fScientific notation %eHex floating point %aPointer %p% %%


Formatted Output

A period separates the field width from the precision when formatting floating point numbers:

printf("Speed = %10.2f", speed);

A variable field width is specified using an asterisk (*) formatting option along with a length argument (which must be an int):

printf("%*s", max, s);

Left justification is specified by a minus

character (-). The plus character (+) is

replaced by the sign (either “+” or “-”).

A space (' ') is replace by “-” if negative.printf("%-+04d", 10);

printf()

\a bell (alert)

\n newline

\r return

\t tab

\b backspace

\\ backslash

\' single quote

\" double quote

\0nnn ASCII code – oct

\xnnn ASCII code – hex


Formatted Output Examples

int a = 100;int b = 65;char c = 'z';char banner[ ] = "Hola!";double pi = 3.14159;

printf("The variable 'a' decimal: %d\n", a);printf("The variable 'a' hex: %x\n", a);printf("'a' plus 'b' as character: %c\n", a+b);printf("A char %c.\t A string %s\n A float %7.4f\n", c, banner, pi);

printf()

Decimal %d or %iString %sCharacter %cHexadecimal %xUnsigned decimal %uFloating point %fScientific notation %ePointer %p% %%


Full Formatted Output Enableprintf()


Formatted Input

The function scanf is similar to printf, providing many of the same conversion facilities in the opposite direction:

scanf( const char *format, ... );

reads characters from the standard input (stdin), interprets them according to the specification in format, stores the results through the remaining arguments.

The format argument is a string; all other arguments must be a pointers indicating where the corresponding converted input should be stored.

scanf()


scanf Conversion

For each data conversion, scanf will skip whitespace characters and then read ASCII characters until it encounters the first character that should NOT be included in the converted value.

%d Reads until first non-digit.%x Reads until first non-digit (in hex).%s Reads until first whitespace character.

Literals in format string must match literals in theinput stream.

Data arguments must be pointers, because scanfstores the converted value to that memory address.

scanf()


scanf Return Value

The scanf function returns an integer, which indicates the number of successful conversions performed.

This lets the program check whether the input streamwas in the proper format.

Example: scanf("%s %d/%d/%d %lf", name, &bMonth, &bDay, &bYear, &gpa);

Input Stream Return ValueMudd 02/16/69 3.02 5

Muss 02 16 69 3.02 2

Doesn't match literal '/', so scanf quitsafter second conversion.

scanf()


Quiz 10.3

What will the following do?1. Output of the program

to the right?

2. int n = 0;scanf("%d", n);

3. scanf("%d");

4. printf("\nValue=%d");

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void){ const char text[] = "Hello world"; int i; for ( i = 1; i < 12; ++i ) { printf("\"%*s\"\n", i, text); }}


I/O from Files

General-purpose I/O functions allow us to specify the stream on which they act

Must declare a pointer to a FILE struct for each physical file we want to manipulate

FILE* infile;

FILE* outfile; The I/O stream is "opened" and the FILE struct

instantiated by the fopen function Arguments include the name of file to open and a description

of the operation modes we want to perform on that file

infile = fopen("myinfile", "r");outfile = fopen("myoutfile", "w");

Returns pointer to file descriptor or NULL if unsuccessful

File I/O


I/O from Files

File operation modes are: "r" for reading "w" for writing (an existing file will lose its contents) "a" for appending "r+" for reading and writing "b" for binary data

Once a file is opened, it can be read from or written to with functions such as

fgetc Read character from stream fputc Write character to stream fread Read block of data from stream fwrite Write block of data to stream fseek Reposition stream position indicator fscanf Read formatted data from stream fprintf Write formatted output to stream

File I/O


I/O from Files

#define LIMIT 1000int main(){ FILE* infile; FILE* outfile; double prices[LIMIT]; int i=0;

infile = fopen("myinputfile", "r"); // open for reading outfile = fopen("myoutputfile", "w"); // open for writting if ((infile != NULL) && (outfile != NULL)) { while (i < LIMIT) { if ((fscanf(infile, "%lf", &prices[i]) == EOF)) break; printf("\nprice[%d] = %10.2lf", i, prices[i]); // ... process prices[i] i += 1; } } else printf("\nfopen unsuccessful!"); fclose(infile); fclose(outfile);}

File I/O


Quiz 10.4

Write an ASCII to integer function (ascii to integer).

1. Account for leading spaces and negative numbers.

2. Stop conversion at any non-digit.

3. Use a ternary operator somewhere in your implementation

Prototype:int my_atoi(char* s);

Exampleprintf("-345 = %d", my_atoi(" -345"));


sprintf and sscanf

sprintf converts binary numbers to a string int sprintf(char* buffer, const char* fmt,…);

buffer – char array big enough to hold converted number(s) fmt – format specification Variable list to be converted Returns number of characters in converted string (not including null

character Useful in converting data to strings

sscanf converts a string to binary numbers int sscanf(char* buffer, const char* fmt,…);

buffer – char array contains data to be converted fmt – format specification List of pointers to variables to hold converted values Returns number of items converted

Useful to convert character data files

sprintf / sscanf
