Lab 2

Logistics

  • Due: Friday, September 8th AoE.
  • Submission instructions: ensure that you have the source code you want us to grade in a file called lab2.c in your ~/csci112_fall2023/labs/lab2 directory, and that the snapshot (commit) of your repository containing the version of that file you want us to grade has been committed and tagged as lab2. (You should have set up your git repo and practiced tagging a commit in Classwork 4.)

Outside resources

On this assignment, you may not use the the internet or generative AI such as ChatGPT to solicit solutions to the programming part of the assignment. If you are having trouble writing your program, please go to lab (Fridays, 12-4 in Roberts 111) or post in Discord to get help.

However, you may use those resources for help with navigating the Linux terminal, using vim, and using git, although you may get better answers to your questions by going to lab or posting on Discord anyway.

Learning outcomes

  • Practice getting input from the console using scanf.
  • Practice printing using printf.
  • Reuse code with functions.
  • Practice function syntax in C.

Assignment

In order to earn some extra money over the three-day holiday weekend, you take a job working security at a music festival. However, the compensation is a bit complex: the hourly wage is different on different days of the festival.

To make sure you are compensated fairly, you decide to write a program to compute your total pay based on the hours you worked each day and the hourly wage promised for that day. As a challenge, and to practice your new knowledge of using functions to reuse code, you decide not to use the printf function in main, nor to use for or while loops.

In a file called lab2.c in your csci112_fall2023/labs/lab2 directory, write a program that computes your earnings over the course of the 3 days.

Requirements

You must:

  • not use any loops
  • not use printf in main

Input/output format

For this assignment, you must match the output format exactly, and take input from the user precisely as described.

For each of the three days, you must prompt the user for the number of hours they worked and the wage for that day.

After receiving information about the hours worked and wage for each day, report the total pay that you are owed.

Thus, a full run of your program would look like this if you entered 3, 21.40, 5, 25, 8, and 33.33:

Enter hours worked on day 1: 3
Enter hourly wage on day 1: $21.40
Enter hours worked on day 2: 5
Enter hourly wage on day 2: $25
Enter hours worked on day 3: 8
Enter hourly wage on day 3: $33.33

Your total pay is $455.84

You can assume that the hours worked will always be a whole number.

Grading–100 points

  • 10: source file exists with correct name in correct location
  • 10: source file compiles
  • 10: source file compiles without warnings
  • 20: does not use printf in main
  • 10: does not use a for or while loop
  • 10: prompt to user matches exactly
  • 10: output reporting earnings matches exactly (include linebreak and number of decimal places)
  • 5 points each: computes correct total earnings for 4 test cases

Autograder

You can run the autograder using

A detailed breakdown of your score will be present in autograder.txt.

Grading turnaround

Scores will be uploaded to D2L by class time on Wednesday, Septmber 13th.
