C 9 questions final !

The Questions:

1)  Write a macro, MIN5 (A, B, C, D, E), which takes five arguments and returns the smallest value.

2)  Write a function which will determine how many words are in a given string.  You can assume that one

      or more consecutive white spaces is a delimiter between words.  

3)  Write a function that is passed a month, day, and year and will determine if

     that date is valid.   You can assume each parameter is passed in as an integer. 

     Remember to check for leap year!

          validDate (5, 31, 1961)    .... would be valid

          validDate (13, 4, 1967)    ... would be invalid, the month is invalid

6)  Write a function that will determine if a given string is a palindrome.  DO NOT use the C library function: strrev

        A palindrome is a word or sentence that reads the same forward as it does backward.

           Examples of words would be civic or rotor ... a word or phase would be:

                Never odd or even

          A good web site of examples is:  http://www.rinkworks.com/words/palindromes.shtml

7)  Write a function that will return in a structure the following characteristics of a given string: 

        1) string length (use strlen),       

        2) number of upper case characters

        3) number of lower case characters,       

        4) number of digits

        5) number of non-alphanumeric characters.

8)  Write a function, myBaseBallStats, that is passed the following integer stats on a baseball player:

          Number of Singles, Doubles, Triples, and Home Runs as well as Number of At Bats.

     Based on this information, return a structure that contains the following

          Total Bases, Batting Average, Home Run Ratio, and Slugging Average.

     You do not need to be a baseball fan to do this ... All the information you need in

     terms of the formulas and explanations can be found at:

     Note:  Number of hits is:  singles + doubles + triples + home runs

9)   Most people enjoy watching movies these days, whether its the classics or modern ones.   

      Develop a set of structures that could be used to model the information about a movie collection.  

      What type of information would you want to collect and store about a movie?   What would be the right

      types in C for that information?  Define supporting structures as needed and have one final structure type that

      is made up of various members (some members may be on some structure type, others may be simple integers,

      floats, chars, arrays, etc).   No program is needed although you might want to create a simple main function

      and include your structure types just to test that everything compiles. 

      This question is similar to the final question on the midterm, but now you have learned about many different

      types since then.    Here is a template to use to get started and indicates what I am looking for in your answer.

      Use everything you learned this semester, especially the last set of lectures notes from Chapters 13 - 17.

      /* add supporting structures - expect many structure types here ... date is good example */

      struct date

      {

            int month;

            int day;

            int year;

      };

      /* add other supporting structures */    

      /* Final structure, such as struct movie */

      struct movie

      {

             /* some members may be a structure type themselves, here is an example */

             struct date releaseDate;   /* the date the movie was released */

             /* other members may be ints, floats, doubles, chars, enum, ...  */

             char title [100];   /* the title of the move */

             /* add others */

      };

      int main  (  )

      {

             struct movie myMovie [1000];  

             /* nothing else needs to be added to main */

             return (0);

       };
