    This document is a worksheet for a CSCE 155 lab on data types in C programming. It contains questions about the creators of C and C++, testing programs with invalid input, filling out a table of basic data types with their sizes and ranges, demonstrating a currency conversion program, limitations of using only integer types for large values, fixing a program that calculates area but gives incorrect results due to mixed data types, and getting instructor approval.

    155 Lab: Data Types


    Worksheet C Version

    Name _________________________________

    1. Dennis Ritchie, the creator of the C programming language, was born on September 9th, 1941. If
    he were still alive, how old would he be today? Find out by running the birthday01 program
    on the appropriate inputs.


    2. Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of the C++ programming language, the object-oriented extension
    of C, was born on December 30th, 1950. How old is he today?


    3. Software testing often involves testing code with known bad input in an attempt to break it.
    Try breaking the birthday02 program by giving it bad input and observe the consequences.
    Give at least two examples of potentially bad input and the results.







    4. Complete all the size and range entries in the table below

    Name Description Size (bytes) Range


    Signed: -128 to 127
    char Character or small integer 1
    Unsigned: 0 to 255
    Signed:
    short int Short Integer
    Unsigned:
    Signed:
    int Integer
    Unsigned:
    Signed:
    long int Long Integer
    Unsigned:

    float Floating point number +/- 3.4E +/- 38 (~7 digits)

    Double precision floating point


    double +/- 1.7e +/- 308 (~15 digits)
    number
    Long double precision floating
    long double +/- 1.7e +/- 308 (~15 digits)
    point number
    5. Demonstrate your working currency conversion program to an instructor; use it to determine
    the exchange amounts for the following inputs:
    a. $250.25

    b. $1000.52

    c. $968410.12

    6. Suppose that you had used only int types in your conversion program. Would you be able to
    use it to convert the US national debt (which as of 2012/11/25 was $16,295,605,724,786.77)?
    Why or why not?

    7. Mixed types
    a. Run the area program from with base = 3 and height = 4. What value do you get? Is this
    result correct? Execute the program again with inputs of your choice. Does the program
    give correct results? Why not?









    b. Fix the program by editing area.c source code so that the program produces correct
    results. Hand your program in using webhandin and grade it using webgrader.
    Demonstrate your output to a lab instructor, have them sign this worksheet and turn it in.
