[SOLVED] Csc 352: assignment 6

The purpose of this assignment is to do more involved work with pointers, linked lists, and
memory allocation.1. Your C code should adhere to the coding standards for this class as listed in the
Documents section on the Resources tab for Piazza. This includes protecting against
buffer overflows whenever you read strings.2. Your programs should indicate if they executed without any problems via their exit
status, i.e., the value returned by the program when it terminates:
Execution Exit Status
Normal, no problems 0
Error or problem encountered 13. Under bash you can check the exit status of a command or program cmd by typing the
command “echo $?” immediately after the execution of cmd. A program can exit with
status n by executing “exit(n)” anywhere in the program, or by having main() execute
the statement “return(n)”.4. Remember your code will be graded on lectura using a grading script. You should test
your code on lectura using the diff command to compare your output to that of the
example executable.5. To get full points your code should compile without warnings or errors when the -Wall
flag is set in gcc6. Anytime you input a string you must protect against a buffer overflow. Review slides 82
– 87 of the basic_C deck.7. You must check the return values to system calls that might fail due to not being able to
allocate memory. (e.g. Check that malloc/calloc don’t return NULL) getline() is an
exception to this rule.8. Your code must run without errors using valgrind. NOTE you do not need to free
memory. Valgrind might report things called memory leaks. Don’t worry about this.
What you need is to see the line that includes: “ERROR SUMMARY: 0 errors”Example executables of the programs will be made available. You should copy and run these
programs on lectura to test your program’s output and to answer questions you might have about
how the program is supposed to operate. Our class has a home directory on lectura which is:
/home/cs352/fall18
You all have access to this directory. The example programs will always be in the appropriate
assignments/assg#/prob# subdirectory of this directory. They will have the same name as the
assigned program with “ex” added to the start and the capitalization changed to maintain
camelback. So, for example, if the assigned program is theBigProgram, then the example
executable will be named exTheBigProgram. You should use the appropriate UNIX
commands to copy these executables to your own directory.Your programs will be graded by a script. This will include a timeout for all test cases. There
must be a timeout or programs that don’t terminate will cause the grading script to never finish.
This time out will never be less than 10 times the time it takes the example executable to
complete with that test input and will usually be much longer than that. If your program takes an
exceedingly long time to complete compared to the example code, you may want to think about
how to clean up your implementation.
Makefiles
You will be required to include a Makefile with each program. Running the command:
make progName
should create the executable file progName, where progName is the program name listed for the
problem. The gcc command in your Makefile must include the -Wall flag. Other than that, the
command may have any flags you desire.Your solutions are to be turned in on the host lectura.cs.arizona.edu. Since the assignment will
be graded by a script, it is important you have the directory structure and the names of the files
exact. Remember that UNIX is case sensitive, so make sure the capitalization is also correct. For
all our assignments the directory structure should be as follows: The root directory will be named
assg#, where # is the number of the current assignment. Inside that directory should be a
subdirectory for each problem. These directories will be named prob# where # is the number of
the problem within the assignment. Inside these directories should be any files required by the
problem descriptions. For this assignment the directory structure should look like:
assg6
prob1
noVowels2.c
MakefileTo submit your solutions, go to the directory containing your assg6 directory and use the
following command:
turnin cs352f18-assg6 assg6prob1: noVowels2
Recall in assignment 2 we defined two words are noVowel matches if the words are the same
when we remove their vowels (a, e, i, o, u). This problem involves writing code to divide up a set
of words into groups where each group is a set of words that are noVowel matches of each other.Write a C program in a file called noVowels2.c and a Makefile that creates an executable called
noVowels2 to classify words as noVowel matches as specified below.
 Input:
The input comes from stdin and consists of a sequence of strings separated by white
space. This means the strings may be on one line or on multiple lines.Your program should read in a sequence of words from the input stream, group them into
sets where each set consists of words that are noVowel matches of each other, and print
out the resulting words one group per line as specified below.Multiple occurrences of a word in the input should be retained, i.e., the total number of
legal words in the output should be the same as the total number of words in the input.
For the purposes of this program, a word is a sequence of alphabetic characters. The
property of being a noVowel match is case-insensitive.Note that it is possible if a word is all vowels. In this case your program should ignore
this word. It is not an error, but it should not appear in the list of groupings.
 Output:
The output from your program should be printed out as follows (see example below):
o each group of noVowel matches should be printed out on a separate line;
o The order of the noVowel match groups should be the same as the order they
appear in the input. In other words, if dog is the first word input, then the first line
of the output should be all the noVowel matches of dog that appear in the input.
So each line will include all the words that are noVowel matches of each other.
The order of the words per line should also be the order in which they appear in
the input. Also, although case should not be considered when determining if
words are noVowel matches of each other, when printing out the words the
original case (the case of the words in the input) should be preserved. In other
words, if a word appears as WoRd in the input, it should be printed out as WoRd.You may assume that each word has length at most 64, though your program should still
protect against buffer overflow if a word longer than 64 chars is entered.A string that contains something other than an alphabetic character is an error. When
such strings are found in the input, an error message should be printed, the string should
be ignored, and the next string would then be read in.The point of this problem is to get experience using malloc() or calloc() to create
linked structures. Therefore you may NOT use an array where you allocate some large
amount of space for your list of words, perhaps reallocating more space as necessary.
Instead you should use a linked list or similar structure that uses exactly the amount of
memory you need. I’m not saying you can’t use arrays in your assignment. You certainly
will need an array to fit the longest possible word to use with scanf(). You are allowed to
use static arrays in the program as you need them, but you must use a linked list to store
your list of noVowel equivalence groups and the list of words within those groups. See
the comment section below.Also, rather than include in your structs a large array to save the largest possible word,
include an char * and allocate exactly the amount of memory you need. The Arrays, Ptrs,
Structs deck has an example program that reads words and stores them in a linked list.
Look over that example if you’re confused. Makefile:
In addition to your source files, you should submit a make file named Makefile that
supports at least the following functionality:
make noVowels2
Compiles the C source code to create an executable named noVowels2. The compiler
options used should include -Wall. Example:
Given the list of words
Hat mast past hit mostly Past
hoot prove Pest HATE prove paste most
the output generated should be as follows:
Hat hit hoot HATE
mast most
past Past Pest paste
mostly
prove prove
 Comment:
A good data structure for this program is a linked list for the group of noVowel matches,
each node of which contains a linked list of the strings for each of those matches. In other
words, use two different node types. One for the set of matches, and another to hold the
actual words input.
