Question
Chapter 2.1, Problem 2.7PP
Program Plan Intro
String representation:
- A string is encoded by an array of characters ended by the null character.
- Each character is indicated by some standard encoding.
- The most character occurs with ACSII code.
- Therefore, if the user execute the function “show_bytes” with arguments “12345”, then the user gets the result of 31 32 33 34 35
From the given question, the function definition for “show_bytes” is
void show_bytes(byte_pointer start, size_t len) {
int i;
for (i = 0; i < len; i++)
printf(" %.2x ", start[i]);
printf(“\n”);
}
The above function is used for show the bytes in hexadecimal.
- The “byte_pointer” is a pointer to an object of type unsigned char.
- The data type of “size_t” represents the size of data.
- In the printing statement, “%.2x” represents that an integer should be showed in hexadecimal with at least 2 digits.

(4) [8]Write code for a function multBy3divBy4, that for argument int x, computes 3*x/4, but follows the bit-level integer coding rules (text p.128) like in problem 3 of the assignment 1. (you may assume ints are 32 bits).
(Note: The operation in your code 3*x is allowed to cause overflow.)
(c) An electronic rainfall depth measurement device is developed to collect the data from
the past 7 days as shown in Table 1 to study the weather condition at UniMAP.

(i) Write a program in C to receive the values of rainfall depth and display the
number of days with light rain ( 7.6 mm) from the
record in Table 1.
(ii) Rewrite the program in (c)(i) to identify and display the day with the lowest value
of rainfall depth, the day with the highest value of rainfall depth and the average
value of rainfall depth for the past 7 days.
Question 1: (C++ Programming)
Why could the following code crash?
void Func( int *X )
{
if( X )
cout << (*X);
}
choices:
A.You can't use asterisks with ints
B.Pointer may be uninitialized
C.It can't, this checks for null
D.Can't have a pointer in an if statement
