File
▪ File – Unit of logical storage– Aid in manipulating exact sector of file data
▪ Abstract view of secondary physical storage devices
▪ Without files– You can’t process codes or other text-related material– You can’t run programs– You can’t run operating systems– Meaning, computers have only hardware
File
▪ Files are very important!– From running a command to idle time, files are being used
▪ Other programs need to access other files too– Like the basic algorithms on sorting (last week’s lab)
File add
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv){
FILE *file;
file = fopen("haha.txt","w");
if(file == NULL){
fprintf(stderr,"File can't be opened!");
exit(1);}
fprintf(file,"Hello World");
fclose(file);
return 0;
}
Constructor Declaration
▪ Declaring variables already allocates memory (like int i;)
▪ The same goes for declaring files (FILE *fp;)– A default zero variable for the constructor is created
automatically the moment it is declared– Object is being instantiated at the moment of declaration (only
applies in C++)
▪ ONLY IN C++ can you create constructors for your files– C does not allow this (because declaration != assignment)
▪ Create a file binaryconvert.c that converts a text file into an 8-bit binary file and vice versa (following the ASCII convention)
▪ Use C (not C++) to process binary files– In short, don’t use the binary libraries in converting a number to
binary
▪ Make sure that the output is printed out in a .bin file. And the content of that is just 1’s and 0’s.
▪ I should be able to run this program, provided that my other argument is a .txt file that will serve as the text to be converted
Lab 3: Binary Converter
▪ I should be able to do the reverse, meaning that if the file is a .bin file, then it converts it to a .txt file that converts the binaries to a text– This should still be divided into 8 bits (following the format for
ASCII characters)
▪ I can run this using the command:
./binaryconvert input.txt (for text to binary)
./binaryconvert input.bin (for binary to text)
Lab 3: Binary Converter
▪ Of course, I should be able to see your Certificate of Authorship. Failure to do this will null and void your lab!!!
▪ Deadline: Tomorrow, 11:55 pm
▪ Submit it with the following format:
CS162B_Lab3_<Section>_<Surname>_<ID Number>.tar
Next Week…
▪ More C/C++– Pointers– Multiple Inheritance– Assembly
▪ Take Home Lab 1
The End
Dreams are a big picture of what you want. PLANS are the specifics of that dream.
