Ninja's Software Challenge

[ninja9578]

Here's a simple programming challenge for all of you. For each challenge, you get 5 points for writing code that does what it's supposed to. 1 - 4 points for code that doesn't work, depending on how close it it. In a few days I'll write my own code for each challenge, and you get five points if you code runs faster than mine and 5 points if your code uses less memory than mine You can use either C or C++ and any of the STL. I think it'll give you guys some good practice as well as learn from a pro. Spoiler for Challenge 1: You have a path to a file, the problem is that it is a windows path and you need to use it on a *Nix machine. Windows uses forwards slashes for paths, *nix uses backslashes. You need to write a method that will convert "..\MyDocuments\Programming\Tut1.cpp" into "../MyDocuments/Programming/Tut1.cpp" #include <stdio.h> const char * ConvertToUNIX(const char * str){ /* This method returns a char string, which is a UNIX encoded path The parameter is the original string Your conversion goes here */ } int main(void){ /* There are two slashes for each one because \ is a reserved character which tells the compiler that a special character is coming after it, \ is the id of that special character, in the string it will act like one character. */ const char * path = "..\\MyDocuments\\Programming\\Tut1.cpp"; printf("Modified string: &#37;s\n", ConvertToUNIX(path)); } Spoiler for Challenge 2: Write a method that returns the sum of all values from one to and including n. For example, if you pass the method the number 5, it should return 10 (5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1) #include <stdio.h> unsigned int Sum(unsigned int Value){ //Your code here } int main(){ unsigned int TestValue = 10000; printf("Original string: %d\n", Sum(TestValue)); } Spoiler for Challenge 3: Write a method that parses a simple string and analyzes it. The string will have one of the basic math operations (* - + /) and two numbers. ie "12+4". It will always be two numbers and one operation. #include <stdio.h> int Analyze(const char * math){ //Your code goes here } int main(void){ char * test = "12+4"; printf("Answer: %d\n", Analyze(test)); char * test2 = "4*100"; printf("Answer: %d\n", Analyze(test2)); } Spoiler for Challenge 4: Write a method that counts how many time a certain character appears in a string. #include <stdio.h> int Count(const char * str, char search){ //Your code goes here } int main(void){ char * test = "Hello World, I'm a lil string"; printf("Answer: %d\n", Count(test, 'l')); } Spoiler for Challenge 5: Write a method that counts how many time a certain character appears in a string. #include <stdio.h> #define NumberOfNumbers 15 void Sort(int * array){ //Your code goes here } int main(void){ int test[]= {10, 4, 65, 12, 43, 53, 23, 6, 13, 54, 12, 43, 45, 12, 44}; Sort(test); unsigned int i; for (i = 0; i < NumberOfNumbers; i++){ printf("Number %d: %d\n", i, test[i]); } }
