======Part 2====== =====Entries===== ====October 6, 2011==== This week we learned some new things with regular expressions. Normally we would use a command like cut or grep to pick apart data and choose what we want to show. But with the regular expressions we were able to be even more precise in a more concise manner as well. They are a little hard to grasp because the concepts are kind of obscure, but for the most part i understand how they work. I just need to work with them more in my shell scripting or just in general like in my programs as well. We also did a script that will extract the data from our opus. It takes the total score you can get, the score you got and what percentage you recieve. We wrote that and added more on like cutting off the many decimal points after or similar stuff. We used some regular expressions in it as well which is really confusing but if i pick it apart piece by piece i can understand it. For C i have read more of the book and did a few practice programs from the book and the excercises it gives us. I have yet to start the dataypes project but i should have that done this weekend and i have another idea already for a new project. But other than that, i believe i am getting a grasp on the c language, still a little weird on arrays and calling a function. I understand what they are but i am a little confused on how they work at times but i will get it eventually. ====October 13, 2011==== This week we did more with regular expressions. We played around with that and used them in a script to become more familiar with them, we also learned wildcards. They are similar to expressions but wildcards are for files, not text. So we can manipulate files with them, not text. we wrote some scripts with the regular expressions in them and we also tried to go through the dictionary finding words only using regular expressions. That was interesting but fun, it made it a lot easier to use when we put it to a simple concept like words in a dictionary. We also just messed around with scripts this week by making one that did binary conversion, it only went to a certain number but it did its job. We learned that linux had its own area for math and it was implemented within the script. In c, i have been reading more of the book however i have not really worked on any projects or exercises. I know i must have 8 or possibly more projects done by the end of the month, i will do my best to finish them. In the meantime, i have been reading and learning however i know i must do some kind of programming to fully reinforce the syntax and logic i must use. ====October 20, 2011==== This week in linux we played around a little bit with the c language. The class did the first and best program that i will ever write which is the "hello, world" program. It was a simple program but it got the point across on how to write a c language program. then we used linux terminal to compile and execute our programs. After that we got into a little bit more complex programs and played around with them and made our programs work with linux. basically this week was a little introduction to the language for the unix/linux class. For C i have yet to really start anything, i have procrastinated horribly and have not done anything at all this week. I have read when i had time and a little programming aside from the linux class but not enough to truly say i have done work. This coming month i will be sure to get work done. ====October 27, 2011==== This week was an easy week for classes. This week was catch up on work week, so with the time i had i worked on doing projects. I got up to 4 projects done, one was not documented yet but i will do that once i get the chance. So for the class of unix i have 4 projects and c/c++ i still i have only one done. I really need to get it dont but it is hard with it being online because it constantly sits in the back of my mind and not in the front with the other classes so i become very forgetful, i will step up my game this month and get things done. =====cprog Topics===== ====Header Files==== header files are files that seperate certain elements from the source code into a reusable file. They contain things like identifiers, classes, subroutines, and other identifiers. A programmer will include this file so that can use standard identifiers to help implement their code easier. 1 #include // This is the header file for the standard library of input and output. So use things like printf and scanf. 2 #include 3 int main() 4 { 5 unsigned short int bob=0; 6 signed short int jim=0; 7 printf("before , jim is %hd\n", jim); 8 jim=pow(2, sizeof(jim)*8); 9 printf("after, jim is %hd\n", jim); 10 printf("jim is %d bytes\n", sizeof(jim)); 11 return(0); 12 } ====Pointers==== This is a data type that "points" directly to another value stored somewhere in the computer memory using its address. The symbol for a pointer is *. Pointers are simply a indexed array arithmetic, so if you know one it is not too hard to learn the other. here is an example of a pointer: int a = 5; int *ptr = NULL; ptr = &a; This pointer is equal to a null value and points to the address of a. ====Multi-Dimensional Array==== Multi-dimensional arrays are like arrays within arrays. They have rows and columns with elements to fill them all. You can have a table like structure in it (rectangular to be exact) and pick and choose where to look within the array. you can do this with referenced pointers and thats what would be more commonly used. With this you can put the number of days in a month, all into one place. Below is how it would be shown: int array2d[ROWS][COLUMNS]; Where the row and column is, thats where you specify your location in the array. ====Type Casting==== Typecasting is making a variable of one type, such as an int, act like another type, a char, for one single operation. To typecast something, simply put the type of variable you want the actual variable to act as inside parentheses in front of the actual variable. (char)a will make 'a' function as a char. #include using namespace std; int main() { printf (char)65 <<"\n"; // The (char) is a typecast, telling the computer to interpret the 65 as a // character, not as a number. It is going to give the character output of // the equivalent of the number 65 (It should be the letter A for ASCII). scanf(); } ====Selection Structures==== The ability to change the flow of program execution. It is achieve by establishing the truth or falsity of an expression (condition). This is done by statements like if, switch or case/file. An if statement asks the user or a process a question of some sort, and it is either the truth or false and depending on where it goes is how the program runs. This is if: #include int main() { int choice; printf("Choose an option: "); scanf("%d", &choice); if (num > 0) { printf("%d is a positive number\n", num); if (num % 2 ==0) printf("%d is an even number\n", num); else printf("%d is an odd number\n", num); } else printf("%d is an odd number\n", num); return(0) } This is a sample of an selection statement, other statements like switch have cases and depending on what case is presented, it will choose that case and go through the program. ====Compiler==== The compiler is a computer programs or a set of programs that transforms source code into object code. The reason for this is because when you write your source code (your syntax language code) it is not executable so in order to make it executable it needs to go through the compiler and make it object code. ====Typedef==== typedef assigns alternative names to existing types. They most often change the ones that are annoying, long or to make more sense with the implementation. Below is small example of how it could work typedef int km_per_hour ; typedef int points ; km_per_hour current_speed ; points high_score ; ... void congratulate(points your_score) { if (your_score > high_score) ... ====Enum==== Enum is short for enumeration and what it does is instead of having int to represent a set of values, it uses a type of restricted set values instead. Without enum you would have to define each int type specifically with #define then whatever you assign it too. With enum you go like this: enum rainbowcolors { red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet) } Then the system will automatically assign a number to each one within the enum but you can set them to whatever you want. Its a easier way to set constants. ====Union==== A union declaration specifies a set of variable values and a tag naming the union. The variable values are called members of the union and can have different types. union sign /* A definition and a declaration */ { int svar; unsigned uvar; } number; This defines a union variable with sign type and declares a variable named number that has two members: svar, a signed integer, and uvar, an unsigned integer. This declaration allows the current value of number to be stored as either a signed or an unsigned value. ====Structures==== A structure is a collection of variables under a single name. These variables can be of different types, and each has a name which is used to select it from the structure. A structure is a convenient way of grouping several pieces of related information together. typedef struct { char name[64]; char course[128]; int age; int year; } student; student st_recc; This is a structure of variables that is stored into student, which is renamed to st_recc. ====Repetition/Iteration Structures==== These are similar to the if and switch statements but they are loops. These consist of for, while, and do whiles. A for loop asks for a initialized variable, the parameters of the loop and an incrementation. So with these, the program will run until the parameters are met and it exits out. A while loop goes while a condition is true, and once that condition is untrue it exits out of the loop. A do while does what you want it to do, then checks to see if its true. If the condition is true, the program continues. Its similar to a while loop but with this it executes the program then checks the condition. ====Preprocessor==== It is a separate program called by the compiler as the first part of translation. The preprocessor handles instructions for the source file inclusion (#include), macro definitions (#define), and conditional inclusion (#if). The language of preprocessor instructions is agnostic to the grammar of C, so the C preprocessor can also be used independently to process other types of files. =====unix Topics===== ====$PATH==== This is a variable that tells the shell what directory to search for executable files, in response to commands issued by the user. I took a script that was written that has the path "$password" and it uses similar actions as the $PATH variable. 1 #!/bin/bash 2 echo -n "Enter magic Password: " 3 read Password 4 if [ "$Password" = "`cat pss`" ]; then 5 echo "Access Granted" 6 else 7 echo "access denied" 8 exit 1 9 fi 10 exit 0 11 lab46:~$ ./soaringeagle1.sh Enter magic Password: candyland Access Granted lab46:~$ ====Wildcards==== Wildcards are basically an indicator to the shell that some particular part of the filename is not known to you and the shell can insert a combination of characters in those places and then work on all the newly formed filenames. Some wildcards that are commonly used are: ? - match any single character * - match 0 or more of anything [] - any one of enclosed [^ ] - not anyone of enclosed ====Tab Completion==== This is a much faster way then typing out an entire line of commands and files on the command line. Instead of typing out the entire file you can hit "tab" and linux will do its best to finish it for you. So something that could take 5 seconds to type can take 1 second. If it matches 2 or more files you can do a double tab and it will cycle through them. ====C==== C is a programming language that is a fairly low level-language. Linux is written in this code and you can use linux to create, compile and execute these programs. Just open up a text editor and began typing away your program, assuming you know c language syntax. below is a example of a simple C code used in the VI text editor: 1 #include 2 #include 3 int main() 4 { 5 unsigned short int bob=0; 6 signed short int jim=0; 7 printf("before , jim is %hd\n", jim); 8 jim=pow(2, sizeof(jim)*8); 9 printf("after, jim is %hd\n", jim); 10 printf("jim is %d bytes\n", sizeof(jim)); 11 return(0); 12 } 13 ====Regular expressions==== regular expressions are different ways to manipulate a text. Before we used and piped commands like grep and cut to manipulate our text and get exactly what we wanted. With regular expressions you can manipulate the text to something very precise in a more concise way. Some common regular expressions are: ^ - Match beginning of line $ - match eof line . - match any single character * - match 0 or more of the previous \< - match beginning of word \> - match ending of word [] - match any of what is enclosed [^] - inverted brackets (do not match..) () - grouping | - or \( \) - grouping for substitution ====Killing a Process==== When you have a process running in your terminal, whether in the background or foreground, you can easily kill it by using the command kill. There are many kill commands you can use to kill just about anything, as long as you have permission to do so. here is an example of killing another terminal you may have open: lab46:~$ ps USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND dgirard3 14965 0.0 0.1 13632 2000 pts/40 SNs 00:11 0:00 -bash dgirard3 25645 0.0 0.1 13624 1944 pts/41 SNs+ 01:00 0:00 -bash dgirard3 25772 0.0 0.0 8584 972 pts/40 RN+ 01:01 0:00 ps u dgirard3 25993 0.0 0.0 13660 8 pts/33 SNs Oct13 0:00 /bin/bash dgirard3 26141 0.0 0.1 42464 1924 pts/33 SN+ Oct13 2:26 irssi lab46:~$ kill -9 25645 lab46:~$ Now in the other terminal i used a tty command to figure out the PID (process Id) to figure out which process to kill, so when the kill -9 is executed the terminal bash process should quit and it will close out. ====Backgrounding a process=== When you want to run a command or a process but do not want to clog up the command line while doing so, run it in the background. In order to do this, write the command like you would normally do but this time put a ampersand at the end of it (&). This will put the running process into the background so you can do other things in the foreground. this example shows how the command would be executed by putting into the background, the number shows which process there is in the back so you can have more then one. lab46:~$ cat hey& [1] 27455 lab46:~$ #include int main() { return(0); } ====Foregrounding a process==== This is obviously the opposite to backgrounding but the foreground is where you begin once you bring up the terminal. Where you write and interact with the commands, thats the foreground. But when you background something and want to bring it back, all you have to do is use the command "fg % job number". This should bring whatever job number you chose from the background to the foreground. If you want to resume it again in the background just use "fg %job number&" ====Archiving/Unarchiving==== Archiving is a useful tool to know in linux. It can take a collection of files and/or directories and put it all into one place, known as a archive. There are many archiving tools in the linux terminal and you choose one that fits your needs. I am going to show you an example of one archiver right now called Tar: lab46:~$ ls Desktop archives hi public_html Harchives.tar.bz2 bin hi.c regularexpressions Maildir botopen hi.s scriptrgex.sh Puzzlewin candy in soaringeagle.sh Scanned1-1.png closet irc soaringeagle1.sh Scanned1.png cmdcprog.c killerwasp.sh src Scanned2-1.jpg contact.info.save lab1a.text temp Scanned2.jpg courses lyrics.mp3 temp.c a.out data motd the answer.txt addscr.sh destructo.sh newdirectory tmp archive1.tar.gz dl program try3.png archive2.zip exper program.c wildcards archivees hey pss lab46:~$ tar cvzf Cexetension.tgz *.c cmdcprog.c hi.c program.c temp.c lab46:~$ ls Cexetension.tgz archivees hey pss Desktop archives hi public_html Harchives.tar.bz2 bin hi.c regularexpressions Maildir botopen hi.s scriptrgex.sh Puzzlewin candy in soaringeagle.sh Scanned1-1.png closet irc soaringeagle1.sh Scanned1.png cmdcprog.c killerwasp.sh src Scanned2-1.jpg contact.info.save lab1a.text temp Scanned2.jpg courses lyrics.mp3 temp.c a.out data motd the answer.txt addscr.sh destructo.sh newdirectory tmp archive1.tar.gz dl program try3.png archive2.zip exper program.c wildcards lab46:~$ The archive should be highlighted red in your directory. What i did was archive any normal files with the c extension, hence why i called my archive "Cexetensions". If you want to unarchive it, just find the extract commands you want in the man pages. I would use "tar xvzf Cexetensions.tgz" personally. ====Compress/Decompress==== If you want to have a smaller file because its too big to transfer or you just need more space, use the zip command. This command will compress files down and give it the file extension ".z". When you compress you will not be able to read contents unless you decompress, and you would just use the decompress command. lab46:~$ zip -r example3 closet adding: closet/ (stored 0%) adding: closet/skeleton (stored 0%) adding: closet/candy zip warning: Permission denied zip warning: could not open for reading: closet/candy adding: closet/cake (deflated 2%) zip warning: Not all files were readable files/entries read: 3 (42 bytes) skipped: 1 (0 bytes) lab46:~$ ls Cexetension.tgz archives hi regularexpressions Desktop bin hi.c scriptrgex.sh Harchives.tar.bz2 botopen hi.s soaringeagle.sh Maildir candy in soaringeagle1.sh Puzzlewin closet irc src Scanned1-1.png cmdcprog.c killerwasp.sh temp Scanned1.png contact.info.save lab1a.text temp.c Scanned2-1.jpg courses lyrics.mp3 the answer.txt Scanned2.jpg data motd tmp a.out destructo.sh newdirectory try3.png addscr.sh dl program wildcards archive1.tar.gz example3.zip program.c archive2.zip exper pss archivees hey public_html lab46:~$ In there you should see a new zip file that i called example3. There are some errors saying permission denied, that is because i have some files with certain permissions on them so they can not be touched. But if you want to simply uncompress this file just use the command unzip and the contents should be extracted. ====Shell Scripting==== Shell scripting is a way to execute commands and processes by using one single executable file. You can write this in a text editor like vi, use very high level programming like pseudo coding and write it all out. then after that, save it and execute and it should run commands for you out on the commandline so you dont even have to type each command one by one. Here is an example: 1 #!/bin/bash 2 cd ~/tmp 3 for file in `/bin/ls -1A `; do 4 fname="`echo $file|cut -d'.' -f1`" 5 mv -v $file $fname 6 done 7 exit 0 As you can see, it goes through the commands cd and mv, while doing some text manipulation. ====Home Directory==== The Home Directory is where you keep all of your files, your text files, audio files and any other directories you might have. All permissions are set for your use and yours only, unless you change it. the "~" represents that you are in your home directory and ls will list all your files in it. cd will also take you to your home directory no matter where you are. lab46:~$ ls Cexetension.tgz archives hi regularexpressions Desktop bin hi.c scriptrgex.sh Harchives.tar.bz2 botopen hi.s soaringeagle.sh Maildir candy in soaringeagle1.sh Puzzlewin closet irc src Scanned1-1.png cmdcprog.c killerwasp.sh temp Scanned1.png contact.info.save lab1a.text temp.c Scanned2-1.jpg courses lyrics.mp3 the answer.txt Scanned2.jpg data motd tmp a.out destructo.sh newdirectory try3.png addscr.sh dl program warning:.zip archive1.tar.gz example3.zip program.c wildcards archive2.zip exper pss archivees hey public_html lab46:~$ =====cprog Objective===== ====Objective==== understand the difference between procedural and object-oriented languages ===Method=== To show the I know the difference, i will show 2 programs. One that is object oriented and one that is procedural. ===Measurement=== Follow your method and obtain a measurement. Document the results here. #include int main(void) { printf("hello, world\n"); return 0; } A list of instructions telling a computer, step-by-step, what to do, usually having a linear order of execution from the first statement to the second and so forth with occasional loops and branches. This is an procedural program. This is a very simple program but it can been seen it reads from top to bottom when it is executed. // program start.cpp #include using namespace std; struct item // a struct data type { int keep_data; }; void main() { item John_cat, Joe_cat, Big_cat; int garfield; // a normal variable John_cat.keep_data = 10; // assigning values Joe_cat.keep_data = 11; Big_cat.keep_data = 12; garfield = 13; // displaying data cout<<"Data value for John_cat is "< Object-oriented programming is a method of programming based on a hierarchy of classes, and well-defined and cooperating objects. This is a very simple example of object orientation, but if you can tell, it does not go step by step, it has structures with different values and they call each other. This is c++ language, c++ is OO most of the time, While c is very procedural. ===Analysis=== Reflect upon your results of the measurement to ascertain your achievement of the particular course objective. * How did you do? I did pretty good * Room for improvement? yes there is * Could the measurement process be enhanced to be more effective? I could show more of the OOP and procedural programming * Do you think this enhancement would be efficient to employ? yes it would * Could the course objective be altered to be more applicable? How would you alter it? No i like it the way it is =====unix Objective===== ====Objective==== Exposure to command-line tools and utilities. This is the ability to effectively use commands and utilities to navigate and use linux to its full potential. ===Method=== To prove i have reached this objective i will show various amounts of commands and tools that i can use in the terminal. ===Measurement=== lab46:~$ man What manual page do you want? lab46:~$ ls Cexetension.tgz archives hi regularexpressions Desktop bin hi.c

I cant show any of the shorcuts i have used on here however i can at least show my ability to be on here there are other text editors like nano. If i wanted i could easily read this file in the command line with a cat command. VI can also be used to shell script which i have many scripts wrriten (files with sh extension) i also have c programs used in the vi editor (.c extensions) I also have a file that edits vi once it opens, i will show you. 1 syn on 2 set tabstop=4 3 set shiftwidth=4 4 set nu ~ ~ These are in the vi text editor and this will change my vi settings everytime i go to use it. ===Analysis=== Reflect upon your results of the measurement to ascertain your achievement of the particular course objective. * How did you do? Not too bad * Room for improvement? Yes there is * Could the measurement process be enhanced to be more effective? Yes, i could show more use of commands or show how effective i can use them. I showed i could navigate and execute commands and tools but i feel it could be further shown, i just dont know how. * Do you think this enhancement would be efficient to employ? Yes it definitely would * Could the course objective be altered to be more applicable? How would you alter it? No i like it where it stands =====Experiments===== ====Experiment 1==== ===Question=== Can there be a space in a file/directory name? ===Resources=== Any information will be knowledge from class. ===Hypothesis=== I believe you can because its not that hard to put it into quotes of some sort to show that its all one thing, and not separated. ===Experiment=== I will show you a file with a space in it or create one of my own to prove its possible. ===Data=== lab46:~$ ls Cexetension.tgz archives hey public_html Desktop bin hi regularexpressions Harchives.tar.bz2 botopen hi.c scriptrgex.sh Maildir candy hi.s soaringeagle.sh Puzzlewin closet in soaringeagle1.sh Scanned1-1.png cmdcprog.c irc src Scanned1.png contact.info.save killerwasp.sh temp Scanned2-1.jpg courses lab1a.text temp.c Scanned2.jpg data lyrics.mp3 the answer.txt a.out destructo.sh motd tmp addscr.sh dl newdirectory try3.png archive1.tar.gz example3.zip program wildcards archive2.zip exper program.c archivees forobjective pss lab46:~$ before this experiment i forgot i found a file that was named "the answer.txt" for project i did and so it is possible to create and read one but i am going to attempt to make my own to see if i can do it. lab46:~$ mkdir "for experiment" lab46:~$ ls Cexetension.tgz archives forobjective pss Desktop bin hey public_html Harchives.tar.bz2 botopen hi regularexpressions Maildir candy hi.c scriptrgex.sh Puzzlewin closet hi.s soaringeagle.sh Scanned1-1.png cmdcprog.c in soaringeagle1.sh Scanned1.png contact.info.save irc src Scanned2-1.jpg courses killerwasp.sh temp Scanned2.jpg data lab1a.text temp.c a.out destructo.sh lyrics.mp3 the answer.txt addscr.sh dl motd tmp archive1.tar.gz example3.zip newdirectory try3.png archive2.zip exper program wildcards archivees for experiment program.c lab46:~$ ok its possible :) ===Analysis=== Based on the data collected: * was your hypothesis correct? yes it was * was your hypothesis not applicable? It was * is there more going on than you originally thought? (shortcomings in hypothesis) Nope, i knew what was going to happen, just wasnt sure * what shortcomings might there be in your experiment? Maybe i could do it another way * what shortcomings might there be in your data? there are none ===Conclusions=== I am certain that your files and directories are not limited to a single word line, it can have spaces you just have to know how to manipulate your command line the right way to work for you. ====Experiment 2==== ===Question=== Can you compile assembly code the same way you compile c code? ===Resources=== Just going to take what i know from class and implement it here ===Hypothesis=== I think you can compile it the same way, essentially its the same code just with different syntax. I am just not sure if it requires anything special to be done because its such a low level, so maybe it will act differently. ===Experiment=== I will show you within the lab46 terminal by running commands and executing a program. ===Data=== lab46:~$ ls Cexetension.tgz archives forobjective pss Desktop bin hey public_html Harchives.tar.bz2 botopen hi regularexpressions Maildir candy hi.c scriptrgex.sh Puzzlewin closet hi.s soaringeagle.sh Scanned1-1.png cmdcprog.c in soaringeagle1.sh Scanned1.png contact.info.save irc src Scanned2-1.jpg courses killerwasp.sh temp Scanned2.jpg data lab1a.text temp.c a.out destructo.sh lyrics.mp3 the answer.txt addscr.sh dl motd tmp archive1.tar.gz example3.zip newdirectory try3.png archive2.zip exper program wildcards archivees for experiment program.c lab46:~$ gcc -o experiment hi.s lab46:~$ ls Cexetension.tgz archives for experiment program.c Desktop bin forobjective pss Harchives.tar.bz2 botopen hey public_html Maildir candy hi regularexpressions Puzzlewin closet hi.c scriptrgex.sh Scanned1-1.png cmdcprog.c hi.s soaringeagle.sh Scanned1.png contact.info.save in soaringeagle1.sh Scanned2-1.jpg courses irc src Scanned2.jpg data killerwasp.sh temp a.out destructo.sh lab1a.text temp.c addscr.sh dl lyrics.mp3 the answer.txt archive1.tar.gz example3.zip motd tmp archive2.zip exper newdirectory try3.png archivees experiment program wildcards lab46:~$ ./experiment hello lab46:~$ I took the "hi.s" which is machine language and ran the compile command to compile it into "experiment" and it still executes just fine ===Analysis=== Based on the data collected: * was your hypothesis correct?

(shortcomings in hypothesis) I thought something weird would happen honestly * what shortcomings might there be in your experiment? No there is not * what shortcomings might there be in your data? There are none ===Conclusions=== As long as you have the right syntax of whatever code you are using, you can compile it withn the lab46 terminal using gcc -o. It will compile and execute normally ====Experiment 3==== ===Question=== What happens when you mix up the .c file and the filename when compiling in linux? ===Resources=== My information comes from class :) so Matt Haas ===Hypothesis=== I believe it will not do anything to it, it shouldnt matter, right? as long as it has both files it should just know which is which. ===Experiment=== i will write a sample program and compile it the wrong way ===Data=== 1 #include 2 int main() 3 { 4 printf("hello\n"); 5 return(10); 6 7 } this is an easy simple code that i wrote, just for the use of this experiment. Now we will try to compile it the wrong way: lab46:~/unixprog$ gcc -o hi.c ghjk gcc: ghjk: No such file or directory gcc: no input files lab46:~/unixprog$ gcc -o poop hi.c lab46:~/unixprog$ It yells at me when i do it the wrong way. ===Analysis=== No my hypothesis was wrong. I feel it was applicable just it was incorrect. There was nothing that i knew that wasnt going on and i knew what to expect if something happened. There were no shortcomings in either data or experiment. ===Conclusions=== This was an easy project and i just needed to know what would happened if i did this, and no i know.
