The Lab assignment will be graded out of 100 points. There are .docx

The Lab assignment will be graded out of 100 points. There are
multiple parts or tasks that make up each Lab.
This document can be downloaded here :
Lab4CFall20v1.docx
The code you need to start with :
Lab4Part1.c
The data file you need :
Lab4giftList.txt
(Note that this file name doesn't match the code so you'll need
to adjust that.)
Some tasks ask you to write code, and specify what name to use
for the file in NetBeans. You need to use exactly the name that
is given (do not change the case, or make any other
modification). Remember, the name of the main class must
match the filename.
There are further instructions at the bottom (after the questions)
about how to save the file from NetBeans in order to be able to
turn it in.
For every lab assignment you need to create an answers file. In
this answers file you will put in answer any questions that are
asked, you will show the output of code that you write and you
will reference any code files that you create for a given
question. See below for more details about what goes in the
answers file.

Your answers document needs to be named with your initials
and the last four digits of your ID number and then
Lab#answers. So if my initials are JCMT and the last four
digits of my ID are 1234, then the answers file for my Lab 4
would be
JCMT1234Lab3answers
.
The ONLY acceptable file formats are Word document,
OpenOffice document, and PDF.
Put your last name, first name and UTA ID in the file on the
first line.
[-5 deduction if not**]
Label the answers for each question with the number/letter of
the question.
Separate each answer from the next answer by at least two blank
lines
.
[-5 deduction if not**]
Include EVERY question number/letter combination from the
assignment in your answers document. If the question is a
coding question telling you to save a file, for example some
question numbered 17.b), then in your answers document you
should have a line like the following for question 17.b):
17.b) Please see file Lab1Part3.c for this question.”
Put all your question answers the answer document.
If the lab question asks you to show the output of a doing some

particular thing with the code, then you must also put a
screenshot of the output in the answer document. For output that
takes up more than one screen, make multiple pictures so that
every screen is recorded. If you do not include the screenshots
in your answer document, then the questions that should have
had screenshots will be considered “Not answered” and will be
awarded ZERO 0 points.
Each task below will instruct you where to put your answers.
If the task says to “Save your program as file
XYZ1234Lab1Task1.c
” then this .c file should be turned in as part of the assignment
along with the answers file.
Every lab assignment has a given due date. No late labs will be
accepted. (Five minutes late is still late.) Lab assignments will
be posted on Canvas. If you are unable to turn in your lab on
time, you may request an extension by sending an e-mail to Dr
Tiernan within 24 hours of the deadline for the lab. The e-mail
must explain WHY you are not able to submit on time. If Dr. T
grants an extension, she will reply to your message with the late
penalties and new deadlines.
Instructions about C files, i.e. the .c documents:
At the very top of the C file you must replace the first three
lines of comments (the part that starts with “To change”) with
something like “CSE1310 Fall 2020” . This is described as part
of the Lab1 assignment.
Every document that is turned in MUST have your name and
your student ID. This means that your .c files must have your
name and ID number in the comments at the top of the file.
You must put your name and ID just in the second comment
block that NetBeans puts in your code. Below the label Author:

and the creation date, put your name as specified in the
instructions for this lab assignment and as shown above. This
should be just above the include statements in the code. Ex:
/*
* File: main.c
* Author: jcmtiernan
*
* Created on September 1, 2020, 12:57 PM
.*
* Name: Dr. Carter Tiernan
* UTA ID: 1000000000
*/
#include
In the empty comment block before main, make sure that you
add comments to describe your own program. Here is an
example
/*
* Lab X Part Y – Testing arithmetic in C
*/
int main…

Every code file should have
your initials
and the
last four digits of your ID number
at the beginning of the file name. For example, if my initials
are JCMT and the last four digits of my ID are 1234, then the C
code file for my Lab 1 Task 1 would be
JCMT1234Lab1Task1.c
. In the questions below, the initials and digits are shown as
XYZ1234
. Every code file name should start with the initials and digits
even if not explicitly listed.
You will substitute your initials and digits
for the
XYZ1234
part of the file name.
Summary of answer document and .c files prep
Create an answers file named with your initials and the last four
digits of your ID number and then Lab#answers that is of file
type .docx, .pdf, or .odt
Put lastname, firstname and UTA ID in the file then put every
question number into the file.
Make sure to put some answer after every question number. The
answer might be a written answer, a pasted pic or screenshot, or
a message indicating that the answer is in an external file.
Make sure that when you create your C programs, your program
includes your name and UTA ID in the Author: block. Also
make sure your header comments describe your specific C
program and you remove the default messages and put in your
own messages.

There is info at the bottom about creating a folder for your
assignment files to be turned in and submitting the assignment.
Instructions that apply to all lab questions:
For later labs, if the instructions say to use code from previous
lab/question then
everything
from previous question should still be in lab except what is
explicitly changed in the current question.
** Things not allowed in Dr. Tiernan’s 1310 class in C
programs. {More details about these things will be posted in the
file “Things Not Allowed”} If you use these elements in your
lab assignment C code, you will get a 0 (zero) for the entire
question where you used this element.
1) Cannot use
exit
2) Cannot use
break
except between case statements in a switch structure
3) Cannot use
continue
4) Cannot use an
intentional infinite loop
such as while (true)
5) Cannot use

goto
NOTE on compiler to use:
I know that various folks – including myself – have been having
issues with the NetBeans environment for C. If NetBeans isn't
working here are some possible options. You are not limited to
these choices but I've at least played with these a little.
OnlineGDB (onlinegdb.com/online_c_compiler )
JDoodle (jdoodle.com/c-online-compiler/ )
CodingGround (tutorialspoint.com/compile_c_online.php )
If a Surface Pro is all you have access to, then you can try the
app Code Compiler Editor (
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/code-compiler-
editor/nagdmbckkknilkfndjaadheldefdkfdb?hl=en-US (Links to
an external site.)
) to get some basic coding functionality for C programming.
You may have also used Eclipse, Code∷ Blocks, etc. which are
fine to use.
CAVEAT: Do not use any specialized commands that only work
in that specific compiler.
Grading Rubric for Lab 4:
Part 1: 100 points
Lab 4 parts to complete:
Part 1a:
You have been given some code Lab4Part1.c.

1.a)
Create a new C application project called
XYZ1234Lab4Part1a
. Copy the code from Lab4Part1 into your new application.
Make the modifications as described in the code and the
questions below for Part 1a.
Modifications to make:
Meaningful names – Look for the comments related to
meaningful names.
Replace generic / meaningless variable and function names with
meaningful names
A "meaningful name" is a name that tells someone else what
that data represents
Hard coded numbers – Look for the comments related to hard-
coded numbers
A hard-coded number is a fixed numeric value that would have
to be replaced with a different number in order to use the
program for different data. Fixed values make your code less
easy to reuse. At the top of the program you will see a bunch of
constants defined. Use those constants to replace fixed values.
Remember, if the value is a
variable
then it is not fixed. For example, using [5] is hard coded but
using [x] is not because x is a variable.
In declarations - replace fixed numeric values with constant
names defined below for sizes
In accessing array elements - replace fixed numeric values with

constant names defined below for columns
Formatting and indentation – Indentation, placement of curly
braces, and spacing primarily
Use the notes in the code to modify the code so that formatting
and indentation is consistent throughout whole program
Use consistent spacing inside statements including assignments,
arithmetic, control structures, and function calls
Insure that code is indented consistently throughout. Code
within { } should be indented in one tab space from the {.
Opening { should either be consistently
a) on their own line, not at the end of the previous line OR
b) at the end of the previous line
Each level of nested { should then indent the code inside
Comments - Add comments as noted to explain various parts of
the code
In some places, questions are given to help you write
comments.
Some of these questions are also below in this document
Make sure that all output data is labeled so that a user would
know what is represented by each set of data shown in the
output. Make sure that your program runs completely without
errors and the correct output is produced. Once your program is

modified as required and working correctly, save your working
program as

Suggestions
Pay close attention to all requirements on this page, including
file names and submission format. Even in cases where the
program works correctly, points will be taken off for not
following the instructions given on this page (such as wrong file
names, wrong compression format for the submitted code, and
so on). The reason is that non-compliance with the instructions
makes the grading process significantly (and unnecessarily)
more time consuming. Contact the instructor or TA if you have
any questions.
For each new question that requires you to write code, make a
new C project with the exact name that you need to use. Double
check that there are no errors before submission. In case of an
error in this situation, 0 points will be awarded.
Write your code in small steps. Do NOT try to write 25 lines of
code and then start trying to run it. Instead, write a small chunk
of code - 5 to 10 lines - then save and run those 10 lines to
make sure they work and then continue. If the 5 to 10 lines
have any errors, start on the errors closest to the top of the file
and fix those first. Once you have made changes to fix ONE
error, then run the code again to see if that really did fix the
error. Don’t go forward until you have fixed to topmost error.
If you can’t figure out how to fix that one – try to comment out
the line with the error and then fix the remaining errors in your
chunk. Don’t go further until you have fixed what you have so
far.
If you are working on a project and want to start completely
over (which is not always the best idea), copy the “old code”
that you do not plan to reuse and save it into a text file in a
directory with your other materials for the class. You may

discover that you do want to reuse that code and if you have
saved it, then you won’t have to rewrite all of it.
Instructions about preparing your lab to turn in (same as Lab1
with some extra suggestions):
How to prepare your assignment to turn in (or to "submit")
Create a folder for your lab in your CSE 1310 class directory
(outside of the Netbeans projects folder) and name the lab
folder with your initials, your last 4 digits, and LabX. [If you
don’t have your files organized into folders, I STRONGLY
suggest that you start doing this. This is a way to sort the
material you keep on your computer and be able to find it later.
Check the internet for suggestions on how to do this type of
organization.)
As an example, if your name is Happy Camper 1010101010,
then your Lab 1 folder name is HXC1010Lab1. Save your
HXC1010Lab1answers file in this folder. Next save all the .c
files for the assignment in the folder. Below is how to do that.
Once you have put all the needed .c files in your folder, zip the
folder to compress it before submitting it (see info further down
with submission details).
Saving .c files out of NetBeans
Go to the
main.c
file (the program) in NetBeans that you want to save. Make
sure the program is open in the main window and is the program
you are looking at. You should see the window tab highlighted
for the program you want. For example, if you are saving the .c
file for Lab1Part5 you will see the window tab for that file will
say lab1part5/Lab1Part5. Make sure your cursor clicks in the

editing window of that file.
From that window, go to the File menu and select Save As.
This will bring up the directory where the file is currently
stored (lab1part5 in NetBeansProjects). Navigate from the
current directory to your new folder and save the file in the new
folder. This will make a
copy
of the program in your new folder. You may notice now in
NetBeans that the tab on the window of the program has
changed. The tab might now say HXC1010Lab1/Lab1Part5.
This shows that you have made a copy and stored it in the new
directory. You should
close this window in NetBeans
.
NOTE: If you have closed a project in NetBeans and want to go
back to it to edit it some more, you can go to the project by
going to the Projects (or Files) tab either in the pane or on the
left margin of the window. Then select the folder of the project
you want. Open the folder and select Source Files (might say
src
), then select the name of the main.c or other source file you
want, then click on the that file. This will open the program
again in the editing window for you to keep working on.
TIP: If you open the .c file that you saved in your folder
(HXC1010Lab1/Lab1Part5) you can edit it in NetBeans but
NetBeans
CANNOT
run it. This is because NetBeans expects all the files to be in
its own folder. What will happen is that you will make changes
but when NetBeans runs, it will run the copy that is stored in
NetBeans not the copy from your folder so none of your edits
will be executed. This is why you should always go back to the
files in NetBeans to keep working.

C FILE NOTE: Only the .c files and the answers file should be
included in your zipped folder. Do NOT include the entire
NetBeans project. You will be penalized if you save the project
instead of just the .c file.
Because C names all of the main files as main.c, you will need
to save each unique main.c into its own folder and then save
these folders into your XYZ1234Lab1 folder for submission.
Thus, if you are turning in Lab 1 with three parts, then you
should have a XYZ1234Lab1 folder and then inside that folder
you should have folders for Parts 1, 2, and 3, i.e. a
XYZ1234Lab1Part1 folder, a XYZ1234Lab1Part2 folder, and a
XYZ1234Lab1Part3 folder.
How to submit
The assignment should be submitted via Canvas. Submit a
ZIPPED directory/folder called XYZ1234Lab1.zip. The file
must be ZIPped (not RAR). No other forms of compression
accepted. (Contact the instructor or TA if you do not know how
to produce .zip files). The zipped directory should contain your
answers document and all the C code files (task1.c etc).
To create a zipped directory called XYZ1234Lab1.zip, follow
these steps:
Create a folder called XYZ1234Lab1.
Copy to that folder all your solutions (your answers file, all
your C files, and any .txt files that were required for input or
output).
Zip that folder. On some Windows systems, you can zip a folder
by right-clicking on the folder, and then selecting Send to-

>Compressed (zipped) folder. On Mac, go to the parent
directory of your Lab# directory in a Finder window, click on
your XYZ1234Lab# folder, then select Compress from the list
of file actions (under the gear icon).
Submit your zipped folder through your Canvas account at the
lab assignment. You click on the name of the assignment and
then it goes to the screen where you can upload your zipped
file. (Assignments are only accepted through Canvas.)
Check that what you uploaded is
exactly what you want
by going into Canvas and then downloading the assignment you
just uploaded, unzipping the folder, and checking the contents
to make sure that everything you want to be there is present.
Submission checklist
Did you answer all of the questions in the lab assignment and
did you create all the required .c program files and text files, if
any?
Do all your .c program files run without errors in Netbeans?
Do all your .c program files run and give correct answers in
Netbeans?
Did you create the answers file with your name and UTA ID in
the file, and your answers to non-programming tasks?
Did you include all the needed screenshots for output making
sure that each screenshot was large enough to be read but small
enough to keep the answers document from becoming huge?

Did you put all of the files you created into one folder called
XYZ1234Lab# ?
Did you zip that folder into a file called XYZ1234Lab#.zip?
Did you upload the zipped file to Canvas before the due date
and time?
Did you check what you uploaded to Canvas to make sure it has
the desired material in it?
