======Part 1======

=====Entries=====

Due to my ignorance I did not know that I required 4 separate entries I apologise this wont happen again.

I have been taking classes in not only this class but also Joes discrete structures class.
This has caused me to learn a lot about c programming in the past month. The second day of class we had to learn how to recreate string.h due to situations such as these I have learned a lot about strings in c programming and a good amount about arrays. Right now I am dealing with some confusion on the implementation of linklist. I fully understand how they work but I am confused as how to actually include them and manipulate them in my programs. The challenges I face with this course are pretty trivial in retrospect this pas month has been a pretty bad month personally so I was thrown behind in all of my classes. But now that things have settled down I plan on improving myself in all my classes 


=====Topics=====

====Array====
Array An array is a series of elements of the same type placed in contiguous memory locations that can be individually referenced by adding an index to a unique identifier
 
====String====
C does not have a string type as other modern programming languages. C only has character type so a C string is defined as an array of characters or a pointer to characters. #include <stdio.h>   int main() {

====Variable====
A variable is a way of referring to a memory location used in a computer program. This memory location holds values- perhaps numbers or text or more complicated types of data like a payroll record. Pointer A pointer is a special kind of variable in C and C++ that holds the address of another variable. 

====I/O====
I/O is an abbreviation of Input / Output and refers to the transfer of data to or from an application. There are three standard libraries for I/O in C (STDIO, STDOUT, STDERR) 

====Header====
The header file is used to access the standard library of functions and personalized functions that you or other programmers have created.

====Multi-Dimensional Array====
The same as a regular array with the exception that instead of storing one type of variable multiple variables are stored



====C Library====
The C library holds full source code from example articles, reader submitted code and any code that is in the public domain 

====Command line Arguement====
Functions that require you to enter arguments from the command line 


====Logic and Operators====
Aids in the helping of comparing values and situations where more than two things need to be compared

====Scope====
Scope refers to identifiers, that is types, functions, classes and variables and is that part of the source code where the particular idntifier is visible. 


====File Access====
The ability to read, write or execute a file based on what permissions you have 


=====Experiments=====

====Experiment 1====

1.What would happen in a program that counted the number of characters in a string if you entered 2 separate string in the same line.

I believe that the program will only grab the characters until the null terminator

{{:opus:fall2011:csteve16:count_program.png?200|}}

{{:opus:fall2011:csteve16:count_run.png?200|}}

The null terminator stops scan f from continuing on in the array 


====Experiment 2====

2.What would happen if you were to insert an integer value into a program that expects a string value?

I believe that it will still treat the numbers as a character and treat them as such

{{:opus:fall2011:csteve16:count_run_num.png?200|}}

The characters where counted as characters instead of numbers meaning that with a few adjustments you could convert this count program into a base 10 number converter
