Question

Consider ASCII code for the data security functional C program. All variables and headers are property declared. Char s[64]; unsigned *ptr1 = s; size_t i, j, k; puts ("Enter a line of text:  "); fgets(s, 64, stdin); puts("  convert to proper case"); for (I = 0; s[i] ! = ''; ++i) {printf("%c:%d ", tolower (s[i] - (i*2)), tolower [s[i] - (I*2))); How many bytes and how many bits long is the s array in the above the ptf1 hex address is given as 0 0 2 8 F E 7 0. What is the decimal equivalent value for ptr1? Does the s array pointer value move towards lower value or higher value as the data is entered? Character string DFGHJ entered for fgets(s, 64, stdin); what are the characters printed with the 'for' loop? What is the final value of 'I' variable when the for loop terminates?

Explanation / Answer

a) :   array s contains 64 elements and it is an array of type 'char'. Bytes taken by each element of array is 1bytes, thus s is 64 bytes long and s is 512 bits long

b) : hex address of ptr1 is 0028FE70. The decimal equivalent should be :

= 0*1 + 7*16 + 14*(16^2) + 15*(16^3) + 8*(16^4) + 2*(16^5)

= 2686576

c) : As data is entered in s, s array pointer remains same. It still points to beginning of the array.

d) : fgets(s,64,stdin) doesn't necessarily read 64 characters. If newline or end-of-file is reached, then it stops reading any more characters. Now if input string is "DFGHJ" then 5 characters are printed with "for" loop

e) : final value of 'i' variable would be equal to the length of input string. For example if input string is "DFGHJ", then final value of 'i' variable is 5
