C/C++ Programming Journal

Week #1

Logged into Lab 46 http://www/haas/fall2013/cprog

Created a number guessing game in C, compiled with gcc.

Week #2

Variable types
variables are defined by the number of bits they store information in
they can be signed and unsigned
unsigned variables cannot contain negative numbers

32 can fit into a char(half half int)
562 can fit into a short int
-32769 can fit into a long signed int
98 435 984 can fit into a long int
3.14 can fit into a float
-65 can fit into a signed char
31 415 926 535 897 can fit into a long long
-24764 can fit into a short signed int

Week #3

this is a preprocessor directive
#include<stdio.h>
It finds this header file in the standard location and copies and pastes the contents

printf(); outputs a string to the screen. uses %u and similar to put variables in the output
scanf(); takes in a string and stores it in a variable. ended by whitespace
malloc(); must be casted to the size of the memory type
sizeof(); returns the bit size of a variable type

Week #4

http://www.boutell.com/gd/manual2.0.33.html gd.h maual

Drew new images in drawprog.c

for(x=0,y=0;x>5, y>0;x++,y–)

Week #5

Using xte from the xautomation package to move the mouse and type

Using xte with xpaint to draw stuff like a square

Made a program to play tetris randomly

'>' in the terminal redirects the STDOUT feed to something else

'2>' redirects STDERR

'»' and '2»' append instead of replace

'<' redirects STDIN stream

Week #6

logical operators

'»' logical right shift

'«' logical left shift

'&' bitwise AND

'|' bitwise OR

'~' bitwise NOT

'^' bitwise XOR

wrote 102logic.c wrote 102functions.c

& before a variable gives you the address of the variable

exceptions to functions standard setup -if() -for() -while() -return()

passing by value- the contents of the a variable in main is copied into the function(two separate memory locations with the same value)

passing by address(reference)- (the same memory address)

a procedure is a function that does not return a value

Week #8

Structs!!!!! Heterogeneous composite

struct thing{
	int a;
	char b[20];
	float c;
	int d;
	short int e;
};

typedef struct thing Thing;

struct thing Stuff;

stuff.a=12;
stuff.b[3]=’A’;

Week #9

Made a program called pix drawer.
It is a gd.h program and requires the -lgd (link to the gd library)
used on gcc to compile correctly

It creates a pix art picture using an array and GRECTS.
It takes in values from the user, putting them into an array
It then reads from the array using a series of nested for loops the draw the image

I created a text file of the data that I redirect into the program using » in bash

Week #10

members of a class have access to the private member variables

The #ifndef statement creates a symbol only once to prevent the compiler from including the header file a whole bunch of times.

a pointer is dereferenced by * which brings you down a level. address of is given by & which brings you up a level.

BigNum *num=new BigNum(4); to use a constructor and pass in a parameter. the dot operator no longer works. use arrow →

Week #11

gdb

-g when compiling
gdb ./yourprogram

list
run
break
print
display
next
step
continue

Week 12

Started playing with the dig dug game that was written by a C/C++ class from several years prior
Improved collision detection system
Caused the enemy to move randomly
Created a Jewel that you can pick up
created a chest of which you can place the jewel
If the jewel makes it back to the chest, A good job Doge appears,
There are ten levels

UNIX/LINUX

Week #1

learned more about cd and ls. Discovered ‘who’ command with help of “Unix for Beginning Mages”.

screen -r

absolute paths start with a root

pwd - “print working directory”

spells: ls, pwd, cd, mkdir, who, whereis, cal, date

windows vs. unix

Week #2

pwd prints the working directory

mkdir creates a new directory

rmdir removes a directory if it is empty

rm -rf force removes a directory recursively, even if it is full. be careful

Week 3

-learned vi, didn’t like it -edited .plan and .signature -finger command(tells more about user, including their plan) -PS1 variable in .bashrc changes prompt appearance -alias in .bashrc creates shortcut commands -created alias lll=’ls -alF|less’ -rm -rF(recursive, by Force) -timetravel with history command, use !number to redo the command -created script1.sh my first script -created script2.sh a number guessing game that loops, telling you if you are higher or lower until you guess correctly, written in bash

#!/bin/bash # #script2 my second script # pick=$RANDOM number=0 while [ “$pick” -ne “$number” ];do echo -n “Pick a number” echo read number if [ “$pick” -eq “$number” ]; then

      echo "you win"

elif [ “$pick” -gt “$number” ]; then

      echo "mystery number > $number, try again"

else

      echo "mystery number < $number, try again"

fi done exit 0

Week #4

Server software end in d short for daemon

spell list: grep jobs ps top-similar to ctrl alt delete whowatch-interactive who crontab -e kill command, takes -number as options nice - adjusts niceness level from -20 to 19, 19 is lowest priority pkill - pattern kill

Regular Expressions

. match any single symbol

* 0 or more of the previous( modification character)

\< match start of the word

\> match end of the word

$ match end of line

[ ] match one of the enclosed

[^ ] do not match any of the enclosed

( ) grouping

week 6

for1);do done while [ ] ;do done

if2);do fi

Interpreted Languages: HTML bash vbscript python javascript

Compiled C C++ Pascal Python Fortran

wrote plus, which takes one argument and adds it to input

Week #7

Knowledge assessment week.

Brute is a brute. upgraded to elite Hakz0r.

used C programs, and used a script to orchestrate the whole system. A nice exercise in using multiple programs together in a top down approach

Week #8

We made a script that counts the number of directories and files in a path and displays it as a histogram

</script> #!/bin/bash # # # if [ -z “$1” ]; then

      echo -n "Enter a path: "
      read path
      chk=`ls $path 2>&1|grep 'No such file'|wc -l`
      if [ "$chk" -eq 1 ]; then
              path=`pwd`
      fi
      else
              path="$1"

fi echo $path cd $path max=0 for file in `ls -1d *`;do

      c=`echo $file |wc -c`
      let data[$c]=${data[$c]}+1
      if [ "$max" -lt "$c" ];then
              max=$c
      fi

done for3);do

      printf "%2d |" $i
      if [ -z "${data[$i]}" ];then
              data[$i]=0
      fi
      for((j=0;j<${data[$i]};j++))do
              echo -n "*"
      done

echo done </script>

Week #9

documents worth reading HTTP RFC SMTP RFC RITA RFC -HAHA

telnet mail 25 HELO pimps.net MAIL FROM bitches@pimp.net RCPT user@lab46 DATA Subject:~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ .

telnet www 80 GET /

/sbin/ifconig

/usr/sbin/arp -a

netstat

  1. lvn
  2. ltn
  3. nr

the beauty of 'sed'

edits a text stream, most common use is find and replace

sed 's/pattern/replace with/g'

get ready for the code!

pod02:~$cat winter2014-20131025.html|grep '^<th class=“ddtitle'|sed 's/^<th class=“ddtitle.*crn_in=…..”>g'|sed 's/<\/a><\/th>g'|sed 's/^\(.*\) - \(…..\) - \(.*\) - \(…\)$/\2:\3-\4:\1/g'

pretty awesome eh?

editing an html doc on the fly..

Week #10

Regular Expressions are for text. Wildcards are for files.

sed 's/pattern/replacement/g' find and replace globally

'/^$/d' delete

tr 'a' '7' tr '\n' ' ' tr '#' '\n'

final command from end of class cat winter2014-20131025.html |egrep '(^<th class=“ddtitle)|(^<td class=“dddefault)' | sed 's/</ llll/g'| sed 's/>/ /g' | sed 's/\<l*[^0123456789]*g' | less wizard people dear reader IFS is internal field separator
