UMBC CMSC 104 -- Spring 2001

Assignment:

The assignment is as follows:

• Using a text editor (emacs, vi, or pico), type the following C program in EXACTLY AS SHOWN. (Three exceptions in the header comment: 1) insert YOUR name as the author, 2) insert YOUR social security number, and 3) insert YOUR e-mail address.) Make sure to save the program with the file name hw4.c. /************************************************************** ** Filename: hw4.c ** Author: put your name here ** Date Written: 3/29/00 ** SSN: put your SSN here (last 4 digits only is OK) ** Section: 0201 ** E-mail: put your umbc e-mail address here ** Description: This program asks the user to enter integers, ** one at a time, until the user enters a zero. ** The largest integer is computed and displayed. ***************************************************************/ #include <stdio.h> main() { int number; /* integer entered by the user */ int largest; /* largest entered read */ /* Prompt the user for an integer and read it */ /* Initialize the largest integer */ printf("Please input an integer, 0 to end: "); scanf("%d", &number); largest = number; /* Continue to prompt and read until a zero is read */ /* Keep track of the largest integer entered */ while (number != 0) { if (largest < number) { largest = number; } printf("Please input an integer, 0 to end: "); scanf("%d", &number); } /* Display the largest integer entered */ printf("\nThe largest integer entered was %d.\n", largest); }
• Compile the program using the command

       gcc hw4.c

  Correct any compilation errors (if any) that you receive and recompile until you receive no errors.

• Look at your directory to make sure that the file a.out is there. This is your executable program.

• Run the program a few times using different sets of numbers to be sure that it works. To run your program, type a.out at the prompt.
