Modulo Arithmetic and Character I/Ovoid f(unsigned int n) {do { putchar(‘0’ + (n % 10)); } while (n /= 10); putchar(‘\n’); }• What does f(837) produce?• What does this function do?31.

Short Answer• In the memory layout for a UNIX process:o Why does the heap grow from the top down and the stack from the bottom up, instead of both growing from the top down or both growing from the bottom up?

ADT Common Mistakes• Adding to the queueo Implementing a stack rather than a queue– Adding element to the head, rather than the tailo Not handling the case where the queue is emptyo Missing assert() after call to malloc() for new entry• Removing from the queueo Missing assert() when removing an element from an empty queueo Not handling removing the last item from the queueo Not doing a free() to return space used by the head element18Midterm Review(overview of spring 2008 midterm)19Bit-Wise Manipulations• Consider the following code, where k is an unsigned int:printf(“%u\n”, k – ((k >> 2) << 2)); • What does the code do? Rewrite the line of code in a more efficient way. • Replaces last two bits with 0o Same as doing: k & 320What Does This Function Do?char* f(unsigned int n) { int i, numbits = sizeof(unsigned int) * 8; char* ret = (char *) malloc(numbits + 1); for (i=numbits-1; i>=0; i--, n>>=1) ret[i] = ‘0’ + (n & 1); ret[numbits] = ‘\0’; return ret; }n = 19 0001001121Good Bug Hunting• Consider this function that converts an integer to a string• Where the sprintf() function “prints” to a formatted string, e.g., sprintf(retbuf, “%d”, 72) places the string “72”starting at the location in memory indicated by the address retbuf: char *itoa(int n) { char retbuf[5]; sprintf(retbuf, “%d”, n); return retbuf; }Not enough spaceTemporary memory22Fixing the Bug: Rewritechar *itoa(int n) { int size = 0;int temp = n; /* Count number of decimal digits in n */ while (temp /= 10) size++; size++; /* If n is negative, add room for the "-" sign */ if (n < 0) size++;23Fixing the Bug: Rewrite/* Allocate space for the string */char* retbuf = (char *) malloc(size + 1); assert(retbuf != NULL); /* Convert the number to a string of digits */sprintf(retbuf, "%d", n); return retbuf; }24Preparing for the Exam• Studying for the examo Read through lecture and precept nodeso Study past midterm examso Read through exercises in the book• Taking the examo Read briefly through all questionso Strategize where you spend your time• Exam logisticso Wednesday 10-10:50am in COS 104o Closed book and notes.
