Week5 - 4

1. Week 4 Ex3: NRIC Check Code (1/3)


Algorithm for NRIC check code
NRIC consists of 7 digits.
Eg: 8730215

Step 1: Multiply the digits with corresponding


weights 2,7,6,5,4,3,2 and add them up. Eg: 82 + 77 + 36 + 05 + 24 + 13 + 52 =
16+49+18+0+8+3+10 = 104

Step 2: Divide step 1 result by 11 to obtain the


remainder. Eg: 104 % 11 = 5

CS1010 (AY2013/4 Semester 1)

Week5 - 5

1. Week 4 Ex3: NRIC Check Code (2/3)


Algorithm for NRIC check code (cont)
Step 3: Subtract step 2 result from 11
Eg: 11 5 = 6

Step 4: Match step 3 result in this table for the check


code
1 A 2 B 3 C 4 D 5 E 6 F 7 G 8 H 9 I 10 11 Z J

Eg: The check code corresponding to 6 is F.

Therefore, the check code for 8730215 is F.

Sample run:
CS1010 (AY2013/4 Semester 1)

Enter 7-digit NRIC number: 8730215 Check code is F


Week5 - 6

1. Week 4 Ex3: NRIC Check Code (3/3)


Write a program Week4_NRIC.c to generate the check code given
a 7-digit NRIC number. Your program should include a function char generateCode(int) that takes in a single integer (the NRIC number) and returns a character (which is the check code). You need to use the char type. (Explore this on your own.) A character constant is enclosed in single quotes (eg: 'A', 'Z'). The format specifier for char type is %c (to be used in a printf() statement). Do not use techniques that are not covered in class, such as array. Your program may be long now. You can write an improved version later. This is your take-home exercise. This exercise is mounted on CodeCrunch.

2. LOOPS! (1/2)
A program without a loop and a structure variable isnt worth writing.
Alan J.Perlis Yale University The first recipient of ACM Turing Award

A loop is a statement whose job is to repeatedly execute some other statement(s).

CS1010 (AY2013/4 Semester 1)

Week5 - 9

2. LOOPS! (2/2)
Loop condition
cond?
true

Each round of the loop is called an iteration.


false

loop body

Some statement(s)

CS1010 (AY2013/4 Semester 1)

Week5 - 10

2. Loop: Demo (1/3)

Keep prompting the user to input a non-negative integer, and output that integer. Halt the loop when the input is negative.

Key observations:

Enter a number: 12 You entered: 12 Enter a number: 0 You entered: 0 Enter a number: 26 You entered: 26 Enter a number: 5 You entered: 5 Enter a number: -1

You keep repeating a task while certain condition is met, or alternatively, you repeat until the condition is not met. You do not know beforehand how many iterations there will be.
Week5 - 11

CS1010 (AY2013/4 Semester 1)

2. Loop: Demo (2/3)


Same code repeated
Algorithm: condition read num if (num >= 0) { print the value entered read num } body else end input request

if (num >= 0) { print the value entered read num } else end input request ....

Enter a number: 12 You entered: 12 Enter a number: 0 You entered: 0 Enter a number: 26 You entered: 26 Enter a number: 5 You entered: 5 Enter a number: -1

2. Loop: Demo (3/3)


Week5_Read_print.c int main(void) int num; num >= 0? true printf printf scanf {

false

printf("Enter a number: "); scanf("%d", &num); while (num >= 0) { printf("You entered: %d\n", num); printf("Enter a number: "); scanf("%d", &num); } return 0; }

CS1010 (AY2013/4 Semester 1)

Week5 - 13

3. The while Loop


while ( condition ) { // loop body }
cond? true Loop body false

If condition is true, execute loop body; otherwise, terminate loop.

CS1010 (AY2013/4 Semester 1)

Week5 - 14

3.1 The while Loop: Demo (1/3)

Keep prompting the user to enter a nonnegative integer. Halt the loop when the input is negative, and output the maximum integer entered so far.

Enter a number: 12 Enter a number: 0 Enter a number: 26 Enter a number: 5 Enter a number: -1 The maximum number is 26

maxi = 0; read num; if (num >= 0) { if (maxi < num) maxi = num; read num; } else stop; if (num >= 0) { if (maxi < num) maxi = num; read num; } else stop; ... print maxi;
CS1010 (AY2013/4 Semester 1) Week5 - 16

maxi = 0; read num; while (num >= 0) { if (maxi < num) maxi = num; read num; } print maxi;

int main(void) { int num, maxi = 0; Week5_Find_max.c

printf("Enter a number: "); scanf("%d", &num); while (num >= 0) { if (maxi < num) { maxi = num; } printf("Enter a number: "); scanf("%d", &num); } prinf("The maximum number is %d\n", maxi); return 0;

3.2 while Loop Condition (1/2)


a = 2;
b = 7; while (a == b) { print a;

Output: ?

a = a + 2;
}

When the loop condition is always false, the loop body


is not executed.

3.2 while Loop Condition (2/2)


a = 2;
b = 7; while (a != b) { print a;

3.3 Tracing while Loop (1/4)

Trace the following codes manually and write out their outputs (assume all variables are of type int)
a = 1; while (a*a < 100) { printf("%d ", a); a *= 2; } printf("\n"); b = 0; c = 9; while (b < c) { printf("b=%d, c=%d\n", b, c); b++; c--; } printf("outside: b=%d, c=%d\n", b, c);

6. Exercise #1: Sum of Multiples of 3 (1/2)


Modify the program Week5_OddIntegers_v1.c to read a positive integer n and then compute the sum of all integers which are multiples of 3 between 1 and n using a for loop. Write a function called sum_multiples_of_3(int).
This problem can be solved with a formula, but we will use the for loop just for exercise.

Call this program Week5_SumMultiples3.c Sample run: Enter a positive integer: 50 Sum = 408

CS1010 (AY2013/4 Semester 1)

Week5 - 30

6. Exercise #1: Sum of Multiples of 3 (2/2)


How about using a while loop instead? Pseudo-code using a while loop: precondition: n > 0 sum 0 i n while i > 0 if i is multiple of 3 then sum sum + i i i - 1 return sum

CS1010 (AY2013/4 Semester 1)

Week5 - 31

7. Exercise #2: Asterisks (1/2)


Write a program Week5_Asterisks.c to read an integer n and print a certain number of asterisks on a single line. Write a function print_asterisks(int). If n is non-positive, then no asterisk should be printed. Sample runs: Think! What is Enter n: 3 ***** Done! Enter n: 6 *********** Done!
the relationship between n and the number of *?

Enter n: 10 ******************* Done!

8. Common Errors (1/2)


What are the outputs for the following programs? (Do not code and run them. Trace the programs manually.)
int i; for (i=0; i<10; i++); printf("%d\n", i);
Week5_CommonErrors1.c

int i = 0; while (i<10); { printf("%d\n", i); i++; } Week5_CommonErrors2.c

8. Common Errors (2/2)


int z = 3; while (z = 1) { printf("z = %d\n", z); z = 99; }
Week5_CommonErrors3.c

Off-by-one error; make sure the loop repeats exactly the correct number of iterations. Make sure the loop body contains a statement that will eventually cause the loop to terminate. Using = where it should be == Putting ; where it should not be (just like for the if statement)
Week5 - 35

CS1010 (AY2013/4 Semester 1)

9. Some Notes of Caution (1/2)


Involving real numbers
Trace the program manually without running it.

double one_seventh = 1.0/7.0; double f = 0.0; while (f != 1.0) { printf("%f\n", f); f += one_seventh; }
Week5_Caution1.c

CS1010 (AY2013/4 Semester 1)

Week5 - 36

9. Some Notes of Caution (2/2)


Involving wrap-around
Trace the program manually without running it. int a = 2147483646; int i; for (i=1; i<=5; i++) { printf("%d\n", a); a++; }

10. Exercise #3: Tracing Nested Loops


You are given Week5_NestedLoop1.c, Week5_NestedLoop2.c and Week5_NestedLoop3.c Hand trace the programs and write out the outputs without running the programs Verify your answers by running the programs

CS1010 (AY2013/4 Semester 1)

Week5 - 38

11. Using break in Loop (1/2)


You have seen break in switch statement break can also be used in a loop Test out Week5_BreakInLoop.c

CS1010 (AY2013/4 Semester 1)

Week5 - 39

11. Using break in Loop (2/2)


Use break sparingly, because it violates the one-entryone-exit control flow. A loop with break can be rewritten into one without break.
// without break int n, i = 1, sum = 0; int isValid = 1; while ((i <= 5) && isValid){ scanf("%d", &n); if (n < 0) isValid = 0; else { sum += n; i++; } }
Week5 - 40

// with break int n, i = 1, sum = 0; while (i <= 5) { scanf("%d", &n); if (n < 0) break; sum += n; i++; }
CS1010 (AY2013/4 Semester 1)

12. Using continue in Loop


Test out Week5_ContinueInLoop.c

continue is used even less often than break

CS1010 (AY2013/4 Semester 1)

Week5 - 41

13. Exercise #4: Prime Number (1/2)


Primality test is a classic programming problem
Given a positive integer, determine whether it is a prime A prime number has two distinct factors (divisors): 1 and itself. Examples: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, ... (Note: 1 is not a prime!)

Write a program Week5_PrimeTest.c. You should include a function is_prime(int). (What does it return?) Sample runs:
Enter a positive integer: 131 131 is a prime. Enter a positive integer: 713 713 is not a prime.
