Part 0:

Access the web site: https://www.cs.utsa.edu/~muzahid/course/spring16/cs3843 and read the syllabus.

Part 1:

Make sure you can log into your CS Linux account and create a directory that you will use for this course.

Part 2:

Convert your UTSA ID (without the leading @) from decimal to hexadecimal. Your answer should start with 0x and the rest should contain only digits and the letters A-F (upper case). Do this problem using the method discussed in section 2.1.1 of the textbook and show the results similar to the example at the top of page 36. There should be one line for each hexadecimal digit created and one line for the final answer. Put the results in a text file called assign0-2.out on your CS account.

Part 3:

Write a C program, convert2tenandhex.c that takes one command line parameter. The parameter is an integer either in decimal or hexadecimal. If it is in hexadecimal, it starts with a leading 0x. The program outputs exactly 2 lines. The first line contains only your name. If the program has exactly one command line parameters, the second line contains two tokens separated by a single blank. The first token is the value of the parameter in decimal and the second token is the value of the parameter in hexadecimal (without the leading 0x). If the number of command line parameters is not correct, the second line is an appropriate error message. Run the program three times, once with no command line parameters, once with your UTSA ID and once with its hexadecimal equivalent (with he leading 0x). Put both the input and output for the three runs in a file called assign0-3.out. Make sure each run is clearly labeled. You may assume that the value specified on the command line will fit in an int.

Hint for Part 3: do a man on strtol.

Part 4:

Send me an email informing me that you have satisfied the prerequisites for this course. (See the syllabus.) The subject line of this email must be CS 3843 Assignment 0. You must send the email by the start of class on the due date.

Include either information about when you took each prerequisite course at UTSA or how you received credit for that course. If you have not completed the prerequisites, you must include a copy of an email message from me indicating that you have permission to take this course without the formal prerequisites.

All email sent to me about this course must have a subject line containing CS 3843. The subject line of this email should be CS 3843 Assignment 0. Each email should identify your full name.

Part 5:

Reread the specifications for Part 3, and make sure your function satisfies these specifications.
