Instructions

• Only this page will serve as reference: do not trust rumors.

• Watch out! This document could potentially change up to an hour before submis-
sion.

• Make sure you have the appropriate permissions on your files and directories.

• You have to follow the submission procedures for every exercise.

• Your exercises will be checked and graded by your fellow classmates.

• On top of that, your exercises will be checked and graded by a program called
Moulinette.

• Moulinette is very meticulous and strict in its evaluation of your work. It is entirely
automated and there is no way to negotiate with it. So if you want to avoid bad
surprises, be as thorough as possible.

• Moulinette is not very open-minded. It won’t try and understand your code if it
doesn’t respect the Norm. Moulinette relies on a program called Norminator to
check if your files respect the norm. TL;DR: it would be idiotic to submit a piece
of work that doesn’t pass Norminator’s check.

• These exercises are carefully laid out by order of difficulty - from easiest to hardest.
We will not take into account a successfully completed harder exercise if an easier
one is not perfectly functional.

• Using a forbidden function is considered cheating. Cheaters get -42, and this grade
is non-negotiable.

• If ft_putchar() is an authorized function, we will compile your code with our

ft_putchar.c.

• You’ll only have to submit a main() function if we ask for a program.

C Bootcamp Day 08

• Moulinette compiles with these flags: -Wall -Wextra -Werror, and uses gcc.

• If your program doesn’t compile, you’ll get 0.

• You cannot leave any additional file in your directory than those specified in the
subject.

• Got a question? Ask your peer on the right. Otherwise, try your peer on the left.

• Your reference guide is called Google / man / the Internet / ....

• Check out the "C Bootcamp" part of the forum on the intranet.

• Examine the examples thoroughly. They could very well call for details that are
not explicitly mentioned in the subject...

• By Odin, by Thor ! Use your brain !!!

Chapter II

Foreword

Here’s how to connect an XBOX ONE:

1. Connect the power adapter into a plug, depending on the country,

you might need an adapter.
2. Connect the HDMI connector to the HDMI port on the console.
3. Connect the HDMI connector on the HDMI port on your huge HDTV or monitor.

optional :
4. If you have a great 7.1 sound system use the optical cable to connect it.
In some very specific cases, a 5.1 sound system will also be accepted.

Of course to connect a PS4 it’s much more simpler !

Chapter III

Exercise 00 : ft.h

Exercise 00

ft.h
Turn-in directory : ex00/
Files to turn in : ft.h
Allowed functions : None
Notes : n/a

• Create your ft.h file.

• It contains all prototypes of your libft.a functions.

5
Chapter IV

Exercise 01 : ft_boolean.h

Exercise 01

ft_boolean.h
Turn-in directory : ex01/
Files to turn in : ft_boolean.h
Allowed functions : None
Notes : n/a

• Create a ft_boolean.h file. It’ll compile and run the following main appropriately
:
#include "ft_boolean.h"

void ft_putstr(char *str)

{
while (*str)
write(1, str++, 1);
}

t_bool ft_is_even(int nbr)

{
return ((EVEN(nbr)) ? TRUE : FALSE);
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)

{
(void)argv;
if (ft_is_even(argc - 1) == TRUE)
ft_putstr(EVEN_MSG);
else
ft_putstr(ODD_MSG);
return (SUCCESS);
}

• This program should display

I have an even number of arguments.

6
C Bootcamp Day 08

• ou
I have an odd number of arguments.

• followed by a line break when adequate.

Chapter V

Exercise 02 : ft_abs.h

Exercise 02

ft_abs.h
Turn-in directory : ex02/
Files to turn in : ft_abs.h
Allowed functions : None
Notes : n/a

• Create a macro ABS which replaces its argument by it absolute value :

#define ABS(Value)

8
Chapter VI

Exercise 03 : ft_point.h

Exercise 03

ft_point.h
Turn-in directory : ex03/
Files to turn in : ft_point.h
Allowed functions : None
Notes : n/a

• Create a file ft_point.h that’ll compile the following main :

#include "ft_point.h"

void set_point(t_point *point)

{
point->x = 42;
point->y = 21;
}

int main(void)
{
t_point point;

set_point(&point);
return (0);
}

Chapter VII

Exercise 04 : ft_param_to_tab

Exercise 04

ft_param_to_tab
Turn-in directory : ex04/
Files to turn in : ft_param_to_tab.c, ft_stock_par.h
Allowed functions : ft_split_whitespaces, ft_show_tab, malloc
Notes : n/a

• Create a function that stores the program’s arguments within an array structure
and that returns the address of that array’s first box.

• All elements of the array must be processed, including av[0].

• Here’s how it should be prototyped :

struct s_stock_par *ft_param_to_tab(int ac, char **av);

• The structure array should be allocated and its last box shall contain 0 in its str
element to point out the end of the array.

10
C Bootcamp Day 08

• The structure is defined in the ft_stock_par.h file, like this :

typedef struct s_stock_par

{
int size_param;
char *str;
char *copy;
char **tab;
} t_stock_par;

◦ size_param being the length of the argument ;

◦ str being the address of the argument ;

◦ copy being the copy of the argument ;

◦ tab being the array returned by ft_split_whitespaces.

• We’ll test your function with our ft_split_whitespaces and our ft_show_tab
(next exercise). Take the appropriate measures for this to work !

Chapter VIII

Exercise 05 : ft_show_tab

Exercise 05

ft_show_tab
Turn-in directory : ex05/
Files to turn in : ft_show_tab.c, ft_stock_par.h
Allowed functions : ft_putchar
Notes : n/a

• Create a function that displays the content of the array created by the previous
function.

• Here’s how it should be prototyped :

void ft_show_tab(struct s_stock_par *par);

• The structure is defined in the ft_stock_par.h file, like this :

typedef struct s_stock_par

{
int size_param;
char *str;
char *copy;
char **tab;
} t_stock_par;

• For each box, we’ll display (one element per line):

◦ the argument

◦ the size

◦ each word (one per line)

12
C Bootcamp Day 08

• We’ll test your function with our ft_param_to_tab (previous exercise). Take the
appropriate measures for this to work !
