Describe help received: ________________________________________________________

  • Due before class on Wednesday, January 18
  • This homework contains code to be submitted electronically. Put your code in a folder called hw03 and submit using the 204sub command.
  • This is an electronic homework and you do not need to print out anything to turn in during class.

Assignment

  1. Required reading: Section 3: Data representation and Section 4: I/O and type conversions from the Unit 2 class notes.
  2. Write a program in a file called checkout.c that does a very simple grocery store checkout: it should read in the name of an item, the cost of that item, and how many of that item someone is buying. Then your program should print out a line like 5 apples cost $3.55 showing the total cost.

    Example of running your program:

    roche@ubuntu$ gcc checkout.c -o checkout
    roche@ubuntu$ ./checkout

    Example input typed in to your program:

    tacos 1.22 3

    Example output from your program:

    3 tacos cost $3.66

    Submit your program in a file called checkout.c using the online submission system.

    Hint: Check out the C functions reference page for a quick reference on how to use the input/output commands you'll need.

    Hint: The submit instructtions show how to submit code for the assignments in this class.
