C Course Homework

Reading

Chapter 1 - pay special attention to how printf() works.

Output Banana Slug Program Description

You do all of this by mapping out strings which will be drawn on the screen using the function printf(), the basic output function in the C library.

Follow the book's style. Make sure the program is properly commented. Comments should include your name, the date the program was written, the instructor and class name, and a brief description of the program. Test your program to ensure that the output prints correctly on the screen (compile it using gcc and run it).

HOMEWORK 1 GRADING OUTLINE

Style -- 4 points total

• proper comments 2 points
  • (name, class, date, instructor, program description)
• proper & consistent indentation 1 point
• proper use of whitespace 1 point
  • (to separate #includes from main program, for example)

Correctness -- 4 points total

• name 1 point (6 characters high; using printf)
• banana slug 1 point (at least 6 characters high; using printf)
• description why computers are interesting 1 point (25 words or less; using printf)
• one program 1 point

Overall appearance -- 2 points total

This is subjective. Points awarded for neatness, a cool banana
slug, or maybe an interesting point in the description about
computers.

Deductions

Deduct 3 points if the program does not compile.
(use "gcc <filename.c>")

• Each of these programs have good commenting, have good program structure, and are very neat. They also practice consistent indentation, use whitespace to separate distinct sections of the program and they avoid wrapping lines of code by using multiple printf's to describe why programs are interesting.
