Some more questions about C
Haskell Prelude
Can anyone answer these C questions?
1. Given the following initial declarations and value assignments:
int ints[20] = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100,
110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, 200};
int *ip = ints + 3;
What value do the following expressions evaluate to? (Note that it is
possible for the values to be undefined.)
ints[4]
ip[4]
*ints + 4
*ip + 4
*(ints + 4)
*(ip + 4)
ints[-2]
ip[-2]
2. Implement a stack data stucture and the companion set of functions to
manipulate it. The payload of each element of the stack should be a double
value. The stack will need the following functions:
void push(stack s, double x); /* Which pushes the the value x on to
the top of the stack. */
double pop(stack s); /* Which pops the top value of the stack off an
returns it. */
double top(stack s); /* Which returns the top of the stack, but
doesn't remove it from the stack. */
int isEmpty(stack s); /* Which returns a true value if the stack is
empty, other wise false. */
void printstack(stack s); /* Which prints the stack. */
stack newStack(); /* Creates an empty stack. */
Thanks to all!

Yes! Almost anybody with a rudimentary knowledge of
C can answer them! Everybody else in your class will be
able to answer them, and very easily, too! How clever of
you to set yourself apart from the others; you are sure to
succeed in getting yourself noticed! Congratulations!

I dont think this is quite right...
1) you didn't define the data structure for stack - it should be either
a struct or a union, whichever you prefer.
2) i think your confusing C with C++/Java - C doesnt have operator
overloading.

Jacob knows this. He probably also thinks it is homework and probably
does not want people to pass courses if they cannot do their homework.

Well, if it is part of your job and you cannot do it then you should not
have the job. If it is an exercise from a text book you will only get
the benefit from doing it yourself. If it is sample interview questions
and you are practising for an interview and you can't answer those
questions then you are the wrong person for the job.
So now give us a good reason we should do this for you instead of you
doing it and then asking for comments on your answers?

You think so? I think jacob is writing in a language which is neither C
nor C++ or Java.

Check the other answers that Jacob provided and you will see why I think
Jacob was deliberaltely giving wrong answers rather than giving
lcc-win32 answers.

What the hell were you thinking here? None of these goddam answers are
right. Why did you post if you don't know a goddam thing about the
subject? It's also incredible that noone else noticed the mistakes and
corrected them.
You're a joke man. This whole newsgroup is a goddam joke man.

Richard didn't say he thought Jacob was giving lcc-win32 answers.
All he said was he thinks it's not C, C++ or Java.

He, and we, noticed that this looked an awful lot like homework, and
gave you appropriate answers. One hopes you got an appropriate grade.

Replace "lcc-win32" with "some language other than C" then if you want.
I do not believe that Jacob was attempting to provide correct answers
for any language. In fact I believe he was deliberately giving incorrect
answers and if they were correct for *any* language that was mere chance.

Good, you noticed.

That question doesn't make sense. Jacob knows a great deal about the
subject; he answered the way he did to help you learn.
> It's also incredible that noone else noticed the mistakes and
> corrected them.
What on earth makes you think that no-one noticed? The answers were
blatantly and obviously a joke; it's not appropriate to "correct" jokes.
> You're a joke man. This whole newsgroup is a goddam joke man.
Far from it. It's a place for discussion of C, not for doing homework
for lazy cheats. There are plenty of people here who will do consulting
work for you, though, at an appropriate rate of pay.

And what exactly were you thinking? That nobody here would recognize
what was *obviously* a homework problem? Here's a clue, Bubba; don't
just cut and paste the assignment.
> None of these goddam answers are right.
If you know that much, why did you need to ask for help in the first
place?

Jacob knows plenty about the subject, enough to recognize a student
too lazy to do his own homework. You're lucky he got to you first and
posted such obviously ridiculous answers; some of the other regulars
here (myself included) are far less charitable, would have given you
plenty of rope to hang yourself with, and you wouldn't realize it
until it was far too late.
> You're a joke man. This whole newsgroup is a goddam joke man.
The joke is you're the 8,543,981,259th clueless larva who somehow
believes that a bunch of professional programmers can't recognize a
"do my homework for me" post.

Maybe he found out because he handed them in. That's might be why he
reacted so pissed off. But I doubt that the universe would be that just.

Oh, that would have been just too damned sweet. That's a level of
cluelessness rarely seen in the wild.

I think that either it did or he missed the deadline for handing in the
homework whilst waiting for us to do it. Either way it will help keep
the number of incompetent programmers down.

He didn't know better. He posted the original answer, and Jacob
'answered' almost immediately. He apparently took the result and
passed it in. About a week later he returned here with his
diatribe, probably after getting his paper back with a zero mark.
Jacob did well.
However, it looks as if he hasn't learned much. List him under "Do
not hire under any circumstance".

It's already below ULONG_MAX, despite appearances.
Getting it below INT_MAX (for all implementations)
would be a challenge. Getting it below INT_MIN would
be a *real* challenge.

All it requires is a cast to unsigned long.
