Function Project
COP-3223H

Table of Contents

1. Overview

In this project, you will implement a function that computes Fibonacci sequences.

2. Repository setup

Log into eustis:

ssh NID@eustis.eecs.ucf.edu

Go to your local repository: Be sure you have already completed the git exercise before attempting this project.

cd ~/cop3223spring26/assignments

Create and enter a directory for the function project:

mkdir function
cd function

You only need to mkdir once to create the directory.

Make sure you are in the right directory

pwd

You should see

/home/net/NID/cop3223spring26/assignments/function

3. Create the function

Make sure you are in the right directory

pwd

You should see

/home/net/NID/cop3223spring26/assignments/function

3.1. Function implementation

Create a function called fib that takes an integer and returns an integer. The function will take integers greater than or equal to 0. Test cases will not test values less than 0 or that result in values greater than the maximum integer size.

The function should produce the following outputs given these inputs:

  • fib(0) should output 0
  • fib(1) should output 1
  • fib(N) should output fib(N - 1) + fib(N - 2), where N is any integer greater than 1.

3.2. main method

Use the following main method that calls fib:

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  int n;

  scanf("%d", &n);

  printf("%d\n", fib(n));
}

3.3. Example inputs and outputs:

fib(7) should return 13

fib(19) should return 4181

3.4. Program name

The program must be called function.c and must be in the function directory, i.e., the full path should be

~/cop3223spring26/assignments/function/function.c

Compile and run the program whenever you make changes using

cd ~/cop3223spring26/assignments/function/
gcc -o function function.c
./function

Be sure there is no other output besides the required output as the grading will be automatic. If you would like to have debugging output, use fprintf(stderr, "...", ...); instead of printf.

4. Submitting your program via git

This assumes you have already setup your repository and that you are still in your hello directory in your repository.

4.1. Add and commit the file

Enter

git add function.c
git commit function.c

Write an appropriate commit message. Remember that you will need to save (Ctrl-x Ctrl-s) then quit (Ctrl-x Ctrl-c) the emacs editor that pops up. If you are having trouble, be sure that you have completed the git project first.

Do not commit the backup file function.c~ nor the function program. Use a .gitignore file to exclude those from the repository, so they won't show up when you type git status.

Then to synchronize the changes to the remote git repository on the grading server:

git push

5. Self-check

5.1. Remove the previous self-check

If you have already run the self-check, you can remove it like this

rm -rf ~/tmp/assignments_selfcheck

Double-check the path carefully to avoid deleting the wrong directory.

5.2. Make a fresh clone of your project

git clone gitolite3@eustis3.eecs.ucf.edu:cop3223/$USER/assignments ~/tmp/assignments_selfcheck

You should see something like

Cloning into '/home/net/NID/tmp/assignments_selfcheck'...

If you see

fatal: destination path '/home/net/NID/tmp/assignments_selfcheck already exists and is not an empty directory.

then remove the previous self-check.

5.3. Enter the fresh clone's directory

cd ~/tmp/assignments_selfcheck/function

5.4. Make sure function runs correctly

cd function
gcc -o function function.c
./function

6. Grading schema

Criterion Points
function.c exists and compiles 1
The program runs correctly, prorated by successful test cases 3
