======Project: More Pointer Fun!!!======

A project for CSCS 1320 by Paul Sechrist during the Spring 2013.
=====Objectives=====
State the purpose of this project. What is the point of this project? What do we hope to accomplish by undertaking it?


=====Code=====

<code c 1>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define NUM_SCORES 5
#define SCORE0 87
#define SCORE1 92
#define SCORE2 97
#define SCORE3 83
#define SCORE4 79

int main()
{
        unsigned char *scores;
        float average;

        scores = (unsigned char *) malloc (sizeof(unsigned char) * NUM_SCORES);
        *(scores+0) = SCORE0;
        *(scores+1) = SCORE1;
        *(scores+2) = SCORE2;
        *(scores+3) = SCORE3;
        *(scores+4) = SCORE4;

        average = ((float)(SCORE0+SCORE1+SCORE2+SCORE3+SCORE4)/NUM_SCORES);
        fprintf(stdout, "Your scores are, %hhu, %hhu, %hhu, %hhu, %hhu\n", SCORE0, SCORE1, SCORE2, SCORE3, SCORE4);
        fprintf(stdout, "Your average is, %f\n", average);

        return(0);
}
