Question
Your task is to develop a large hexadecimal integer calculator that works with hexadecimal integers of up to
100 digits (plus a sign). The calculator has a simple user interface, and 10 ariables" (n0, n1, ..., n9)
into which hexadecimal integers can be stored. For example a session with your calculator might look like:
mac: ./assmt1
> n0=0x2147483647
> n0+0x3
> n0?
0x214748364A
> n1=0x1000000000000000000
> n1+n0
> n1?
0x100000000214748364A
> n0?
0x214748364A
> exit
mac:
Note: mac: " is the terminal prompt and > " is the prompt of the calculator.
The calculator to be implemented has a very limited syntax: constants or other variables can be assigned to
variables using an `=' operator; variable values can be altered using a single operator and another variable
or constant; variable values can be printed using `?'. Each line of input command always starts with a vari-
able followed by a single operator, which is then followed by (optional depending on the operator) another
variable or a constant. The only exception is the exit" command, which has no additional parameters.
To allow storage of very large hexadecimal integers, your calculator needs to use arrays of characters, with
one hexadecimal digit stored per character in the array. Additional information is required in each integer",
including a count of the number of digits, and a sign. We assume a maximum of 100 digits (plus a sign)
are to be handled, and use a everse order" representation. For example, 0x123A will be represented by:
#define INT_SIZE 101
typedef char longhex_t[INT_SIZE];
longhex_t var_n0 = {'+', 'A', '3', '2', '1'}; /* Note the prefix ``0x'' is not stored. */
int var_len0 = 4;
Here the character array var_n0 starts with a sign character (`+' or `-'), followed by the digits which are
stored in a reversed way. The reverse order representation will make calculations such as addition and
multiplication much easier (why?). However, if you wish, you are free to change how the digits are stored
in the array. By using struct we can further simplify the representation, but you are not required to do so
as it has not been covered yet.
The expected input format for all stages is identical - a sequence of simple commands as shown above. You
may assume that the input is always valid, that is, you do not need to consider input errors.
Also, there will not be leading 0's in the input numbers, e.g., 0x001, and you do not need to
consider lower case letters a,b,...,f. Positive numbers (or zero) in the input will come with-
out the `+' sign. That is, there will not be 0=+0x0", 0=+0x123A", 0++0x123A", or 0*+0x123A"
in the input. It will just be 0=0x0", 0=0x123A", 0+0x123A", or 0*0x123A".
You will be given a skeleton code. The skeleton code
contains a main function where a loop is used to continuously read in user commands, and calls relevant
functions to process the commands. The exit function has been implemented already, which can handle
the exit command if you compile and run the skeleton code. The echo function for the `?' operator to
print out a hexadecimal integer has been given to you for reference as well, but you need to implement the
init function to initialise the variables rst before echo can work properly. All the other function bodies
are empty. Your task is to add code into them to process the other calculator commands. Note that
you should not change the main function, but you are free to modify any other parts of the
skeleton code (including adding more functions). You can change echo as well if you wish to change
how a hexadecimal integer is stored in an array.
Subtracting by a Large Hexadecimal Integer
In you are keen, add code to the subtract function to enable subtraction. Similar to `+', the `-' operator
also starts with a variable, e.g., 0", followed by `-' itself. After that there are two cases: a positive (or
zero) hexadecimal constant or another variable. Your code should handle both cases: subtracting by a
constant value, or by a variable (could be the same variable). The result should always be stored in the
starting variable of the command.
You should make use of the code you wrote for the previous stages to complete this stage. You should
remove any leading `0's in the result. A sample execution session of this stage is shown below.
> n0=0x214748364A
> n1=0x0
> n1-0x214748364A
> n0-n1
> n0?
0x428E906C94
> n1-n0
> n1?
-0x63D5D8A2DE
> n1-n1
> n1?
0x0
