Exercise

Exercise • Implement the function my_strcat – • Input – two strings, s1 and s2 • Output – a pointer to a dynamically allocated concatenation (‘shirshur’) • For example: The concatenation of “hello_” and “world!” is the string “hello_world!” • Write a program that accepts two strings from the user and prints their concatenation • Assume input strings are no longer than a 100 chars

What’s wrong with this? char *my_strcat(char *str1, char *str2) { int len; char result[500]; /* Let’s assume this is large enough */ len = strlen(str1); strcpy(result, str1); strcpy(result+len, str2); return result; }

Solution my_strcat.c (my_strcat2.c)

Structures • Often we want to be able to manipulate ‘logical entities’ as a whole • For example, complex numbers, dates, student records, etc’ • Each of these must be composed of more than one variable, but are logically units • A struct (short for structure) is a collection of variables of different types, gathered into one super-variable • It is used to define more complex data types • Variables in a struct are called members or fields

Example – complex numbers. The following is the definition of a new ‘variable’ of type complex number: • struct complex { int real; int img; }; • Once we define a structure, we can treat it as any type. • In a program, we can then write: struct complex num1, num2, num3;

Access structure members • If A is of some structure with a member named x, then A.x is that member of A • struct complex C;C.real = 0; • If A is a pointer to a structure with a member x, then A->x is that member of the variable pointed by A. • This is simply shorthand for - (*A).x • struct complex *pc = &C;pc->real = 1;

A more convenient usage with typedef • An alternative definition: typedefstruct complex_t { int real; int img; } complex; • Now the program has a new variable type - “complex”. • This way we don’t have to write “struct complex” every time! • For example, we can define two complex numbers in the following line: complex num1, num2;

Examples AddComplex.c

c a b img img img real real real … … … … … … AddComplex – step by step complex a, b, c; printf(“…"); scanf("%lf%lf",&(a.real),&(a.img)); printf(“…"); scanf("%lf%lf",&(b.real),&(b.img)); c = AddComp(a,b); printf(“result = %g+%gi\n",c.real,c.img); return 0;

c a b img img img real real real 1.0 … … … … 2.0 AddComplex – step by step complex a, b, c; printf(“…"); scanf("%lf%lf",&(a.real),&(a.img)); printf(“…"); scanf("%lf%lf",&(b.real),&(b.img)); c = AddComp(a,b); printf(“result = %g+%gi\n",c.real,c.img); return 0;

z x y img img img real real real 1.0 3.0 … … 4.0 2.0 AddComplex – step by step complex AddComp(complex x, complex y) { complex z; z.real = x.real + y.real; z.img = x.img + y.img; return z; }

z x y img img img real real real 1.0 3.0 … 6.0 4.0 2.0 AddComplex – step by step complex AddComp(complex x, complex y) { complex z; z.real = x.real + y.real; z.img = x.img + y.img; return z; }

Exercise • Implement the MultComplex function – • Input - two complex numbers • Output – their multiplication • Note - If x=a+ib and y=c+id then: z = xy = (ac-bd)+i(ad+bc) • Write a program that uses the above function to multiply two complex numbers given by the user

Solution MultiplyComplex.c

Miscellaneous structure trivia • Structure members may be ordinary variable types, but also other structures and even arrays! • Structures can therefore be rather large and take up a lot of space • Many times we prefer to pass structures to functions by address, and not by value • Thus a new copy of the structure is not created – just a pointer to the existing structure

More trivia • Structures cannot be compared using the == operator • They must be compared member by member • Usually this will be done in a separate function • Structures can be copied using the = operator • Member-wise copy

Example Is_In_Circle.c

d (dot) x y … … c (circle) center (dot) radius x y … … … Is_in_circle – step by step printf(“Enter dot\n"); scanf("%lf%lf",&d.x,&d.y); printf("Enter circle center\n"); scanf("%lf%lf",&c.center.x,&c.center.y); printf("Enter circle radius\n"); scanf("%lf",&c.radius); if (IsInCircle(&d, &c)) printf("dot is in circle\n"); else printf("dot is out of circle\n");

Exercise • Write a struct that represents a date (day, month, year) • Write a function that increments the datevoid IncDate(Date *d); • For example – 31.12.05 -> 1.1.06

Solution IncDate.c

Structures containing arrays • A structure member that is an array does not ‘behave’ like an ordinary array • When copying a structure that contains a member which is an array, the array is copied element by element • Not just the address gets copied • For example - array_member.c • Reminder – ordinary arrays can’t be copied simply by using the ‘=‘ operator • They must be copied using a loop

Structures containing arrays • The same happens when passing the structure to a function • Changing the array inside the function won’t change it in the calling function • Reminder – when passing an ordinary array to a function, all that gets passed is the address of its first element • Hence every change to the array within the function, changes the array in the calling function

Pointers are another matter • If the member is a pointer, for example to a dynamically allocated array, all that gets copied is the pointer (the address) itself • For example, pointer_member.c • Hence, we should take extra carewhen manipulating structures that contain pointers

Exiting the program void exit(int status); • Sometimes an error occurs and we want the program to immediately exit • The exit function closes all open files, frees all allocated memory, and exits the program • Equivalent to calling ‘return’ within main • Remember to #include <stdlib.h> • See strcpy_with_exit.c
