In Java array = fillArray(kb, length); is possible; yet in C we can’t write that code using a statically sized array. In class we talked about dynamically allocating arrays. Let’s write a small program to reinforce those concepts.
I have provided cscd240Lab5.c. In this main are eight (8) functions that you have to write. The specification for those functions is below.
readInitialLength – reads the initial length of the array from the user; guarantees the length is one
(1) or greater.
createAndFill – takes the value from readInitialLength and creates the array. It then fills the array with integers entered by the user. The newly created array is returned.
menu – valid choices are
printSortedArray – takes the array and the number of elements in the array – this function prints the elements in sorted ascending order.
addItem – takes the original array and the length of the original array (by reference) – makes a new array, copies over the old elements, and adds a new number (entered by the
user) into the array. The new array is returned and the length is updated to represent the new length. You must cleanUp the old array in this function.
readValue – reads a value from the user to find in this array – this value is returned from
the function
printIfFound – takes the value to find, the array, and the length of the array. Prints if the element was found in the array (first occurrence), and what location it was found at. If the item is not found – the appropriate error message is displayed.
Quit
cleanup – returns any dynamically allocated memory back to the system.
Specifics
I have provided lab5.h and lab5.c you just need to write the code in lab5.c
There is no reason for static arrays in the lab don’t use them
cscd240Lab5.c will contains my main() you may not change anything in this file
You MAY NOT use static arrays
All input scores will be integer values
To Turn In
A zip file containing the Lab5 folder:
All code necessary to compile and grade your submission
An output capture named cscd240Lab5out.txt
A valgrind capture named cscd240Lab5val.txt to show you are leak free
My Makefile
Your zip will be named your last name first letter of your first name lab5.zip (Example: steinerslab5.zip)
My valgrind output
