Description
Programming Exercise 1 (25 points): (Call the Source code Exercise1.c)
Write a routine/function that takes as input a character c supposed to be a binary digit and returns an
integer representing the value of the digit c. If c is not a binary digit, your function must return -1. Use this
function to implement a program that prompts the user to enter a character c that represents a binary digit
(a bit!) (Recall that c can be only ‘0’ or ‘1’). Your program must use the character type for the input. If the
user enters a character ‘x’ that is NOT a binary digit, you must print out the error message: “The character x
is invalid: x is not a bit”. If the character c is a bit, your main program must return an integer representing
the value of the digit and print out that value in decimal.
Example 1: If the user enters the character ‘0’, your program must print out the value 0.
Example 2: If the user enters the character ‘1’, your program must print out the value 1.
Example 4: If the user enters the character ‘B’, your program must print out the error message: “The
character B is invalid: B is not a bit”.
Programming Exercise 2 (25 points): (Call the Source code Exercise2.c)
Write a routine/function that takes as input a character c supposed to be an hexadecimal digit and returns an
integer representing the value of the digit c. If c is not a hexadecimal digit, your function must return -1. Use
this function to implement a program that prompts the user to enter a character c that represents an
hexadecimal digit (Recall that c can be ‘0’, ‘1’, ‘2’, …., ‘8’, ‘9’, ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’, ‘E’, or ‘F’). To simplify, we will
use only uppercase letters for hexadecimal digits larger than 9. Your program must use the character type
for the input. If the user enters a character ‘x’ that is NOT an hexadecimal digit, you must print out the error
message: “The character x is invalid: x is not an hexadecimal digit”. If the character c is an hexadecimal digit,
your main program must return an integer representing the value of the digit and print out that value in
decimal.
Example 1: If the user enters the character ‘4’, your program must print out the value 4.
Example 2: If the user enters the character ‘B’, your program must print out the value 11.
Example 3: If the user enters the character ‘E’, your program must print out the value 14.
Example 4: If the user enters the character ‘t’, your program must print out the error message: “The
character t is invalid: t is not a hexadecimal digit”.
Programming Exercise 3 (50 points): (Call the Source code Exercise3.c)
Write a routine/function that takes as input a positive integer n (0 up to 232-1) and returns a string s
representing the number n in binary. Use this function to implement a program that prompts the user to
enter a positive integer n (0 up to 232-1). You must write a function that takes as input n and returns a
string s representing the number n in binary. For this assignment, you must use the method of
successive division by 2 to convert the number to binary. Ultimately, your main program must print out s.
Recall that you CANNOT use built-in function to convert an integer into a string.
Example: If the user enters the number 66, your program must print out 1000010.
What you need to turn in: • Electronic copy of your report (standalone) and source code of your programs (standalone). In
addition, all programming files (source code) must be put in a zipped folder named m1-name, where
name is your lastname. Do not use any space to name the directory (there is no space between ‘m’ and
‘1’). Recall that you must name the source programs Exercise1.c, Exercise2.c, and Exercise3.c
respectively and include them in the folder. Zip the folder and post it on Canvas. In summary, your
source code must be submitted twice: standalone AND in a zipped folder.
Submit separately (not inside the zipped folder) the report as a Microsoft Word or PDF file and copies
of your source code.
• Your report must:
o State whether your code works. If it does not work, state clearly what is wrong with it.
o Clearly explain how to compile and execute your code.
• Good writing and presentation are expected.
How this assignment will be graded:
1. The program compiles but does not produce any meaningful output (5%).
2. The program compiles and executes with major bugs (40% credit).
3. The program compiles and executes with minor bugs. The code is well-designed and commented (90%
credit).
4. The program compiles and executes correctly without any apparent bugs. The code is well-designed
and commented (100%).
5. If the instructor needs additional communications/actions to compile and execute your code, then a
30% penalty will be applied.
6. If the turn-in instructions are not correctly followed, 25% will be deducted.
