Charlotte's spring2013 Opus

HPC Fundamentals, Systems Programming, C/C++

Introduction

Hi, my name is Charlotte. So far I seem to be the only female in my computer classes… Brain will work slow at first, due to being around a four year old most of the day, and helping out with an infant. Hoping my brain gets back to full capacity soon. This semester is going to be fun.

GCC- GNU compiler collection

When you invoke GCC, it preprocesses, compilation, assembly, and linking.

Option - A thing that is or may be chosen

Tokens

  1. options - changes behavior of command
  2. parameters - data to be processed

unix - short options ( single characters )

microsoft - long options ( multiple characters )

prepocess - directives

       
        a computer program that modifies data to conform with the input requirements of another program
        

compile -

        collect information in order to produce something
     

assemble -

        gather together in one place for a common purpose
        

link -

        a relationship between two things or situations, esp.  where one thing affects the other
        

LAB

gcc -o numbers numbers.c
 
% takes you back to the second fprintrf
 
%X subs a hexidecimal address in (hex value)
 
%hhu   unsigned half of a half int value
 
%hu    unsigned half int value
 
%u     unsigned value
 
d is for signed values
 
8 bit - 1 byte : char
 
4 bytes : int
 
& - address of
 
%lu - subs in unsigned long int
 
%llu - subs in unsigned long long int

Variable -

       name
       value
       datatype
       

freestanding environment -

       the name and type of the function called at program startup are implementation - defined.  

hosted environment -

       need not to be provided, but shall conform to the following specifications if present.
       

int main -

       the function called at program startup is named main.  The implementaion declares no prototype for this function. 
       It shall be defined with a return type of int and with no parameters:
                                        int main( void ) {/*...*/} 
       or with two parameters (referred to here as argc and argv) though any names may be used, as they are local to 
       the function in which they are dreclared
                                     int main( int argc, char * argv[ ] )
                                              {/*...*/}
       or equivalent;) or in some other implementation-defined manner.

Character data Script

  • a is 65 but can be mapped to 'A' in ASCII
  • b is 97 but can be mapped to 'a' in ASCII
  • c is 49 but can be mapped to '1' in ASCII

Pointer fun 1

  • a contains 'a'
  • a's address is 0xFBD05F0F
  • b dereferenced contains 'a'
  • b contains 0xFBD05F0F
  • b's address is 0xFBD05F00

Pointer fun 2

  • *a is 0
  • If we uncomment that fprintf() line, what will be displayed? You receive nothing

My own script to play with, “Howdy”

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
        printf("Howdy Lovely Lady!\n");
        return(0);
}
  • without <stdio.h> you will recieve an error : #include expects “FILENAME” or <FILENAME>

Feb 11th, 2013

Compilation - preprocessing

             compilation proper
             assembler
             linking
             

enivronment - translation

             run execution

output - display - printf( )

             files - fprintf( )
             environment - return
                         - exit( ) from main

intput - keyboard - scanf( ) getc( )/ gets( )

             file -fscanf( ), fgetc( )/fgets( )
             environment - argc, argv

C programs - functions and declarations

cls - clears screen

cd - change dir

cd…- leave dir

cmd - info for cmd

nchars - number of characters

warning - somethign might not be right

error - something is not right

errors

  1. runtime
  2. syntax
  3.

Feb 15th, 2013

C declaration - “something is”

1. datatype

  1. what kind of thing it is
  2. how much memory does it fit in

2. identifier

= assignment operator

== equivalence operator

pointerarrays.c → pointerarrays

man 3 printf —→ #include <stdio.h>

man 3 malloc —→ #include <stdlib.h>

api - application programming interface

malloc

  1. allocate raw space
  2. allocates a block of size bytes of memory, returning a pointer to the beginning of the block

function prototype - is a declaration of a function that omits the function body does specify the function's return type, name, arty, and argument types

Feb 20th, 2013

argc –> argument count

%s –> string

( char * argv[ ] ) 
  • - ( address/ pointer) reference. an address of where a string of characters are

char - built in data type

    [ ] - array
( * argv[0] )
  • - using the variable, the value at that address, dereferencing it

  4. break _______ (sets break at desired location ) 
  5. run
  6. step -  s
  7. next -  n
  8. print 
  9. print sum
  10. set

This is a sample format for a dated entry. Please substitute the actual date for “Month Day, Year”, and duplicate the level 4 heading to make additional entries.

As an aid, feel free to use the following questions to help you generate content for your entries:

  • What action or concept of significance, as related to the course, did you experience on this date?
  • Why was this significant?
  • What concepts are you dealing with that may not make perfect sense?
  • What challenges are you facing with respect to the course?

Going over past lessons, trying to make things work. Reading up on background information to try to understand what I am actually dealing, at a bit of a disadvantage not knowing much about games, trying to brush up on old knowledge that has been hiding in the closet.

Over all

This is what a rough idea of what happened to me trying to study
