CISC105 - General Computer Science

This lab is an exercise to familiarize you with the C Language concept of Decision Making. You will need to perform the following:

• Create (edit), compile (debug), and execute a C program.
• Facilitate the concepts of Decision Making: if and switch statements.
• Create scripts which include the following for both programs:
  1. Concatenation of the source code.
  2. Compilation of the source code.
  3. Execution of the completed bug-free program.

Create a program that performs the following five times:

• Accepts a character from the screen
• Determines whether the character is one of the following:
  • an alphabetic character
  • a numeric character
  • a special character
• Displays an appropriate message to the screen

Use an "if" statement (if, nested if, compound if, or else-if) to accomplish the task. Document your program with a brief description of what it does along with a program name, your name, your section number, date, and lab number.

Write a small "menu program" that displays the following choices:

1. Data Input
2. Sort & Display
3. Data Update

Upon entering the number of the choice above, display an appropriate message to the screen verifying the choice that you made. If something other than the choices above is entered, display an appropriate error message to the screen. Use a "switch" statement to accomplish the task. Document your program with a brief description of what it does along with a program name, your name, your section number, date, and lab number.
