Programming Fundamentals

• This page contains additional revision exercises for week 01.
• These exercises are not compulsory, nor do they provide any marks in the course.
• You cannot submit any of these exercises, however autotests may be available for some them (Command included at bottom of each exercise if applicable).

Create a program simple_diamond.c that prints a simple diamond shape that uses / and \ for the outline.

Examples

dcc simple_diamond.c -o simple_diamond
./simple_diamond
/\
\/

When you think your program is working, you can use autotest to run some simple automated tests:

1511 autotest simple_diamond

// Simple Diamond
// simple_diamond.c
//
// This program prints out a simple diamond.

#include <stdio.h>

int main (void) {
		printf("/\\\n");
		printf("\\/\n");
		
		return 0;
}

Create a program called simple_triangle.c which prints a triangle.

Examples

dcc simple_triangle.c -o simple_triangle
./simple_triangle
    ^
   / \
  /   \
 /     \
/_______\

When you think your program is working, you can use autotest to run some simple automated tests:

1511 autotest simple_triangle

// Simple Triangle
// simple_triangle.c
//
// This program prints out a simple triangle.

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {

    printf("    ^\n");
    printf("   / \\\n");
    printf("  /   \\\n");
    printf(" /     \\\n");
    printf("/_______\\\n");
 
    return 0;
}
