📋 P2.2 Level 01 length
Module: 21-proj-c-intro-vars
Challenge: p22-level-01
Objective
In this challenge, you will write a program that prints the length of a string passed in via argument 1 without using the c-string library (string.h)
Requirements
Objective
In this challenge, you will write a program that prints the length of a string passed in via argument 1 without using the c-string library (string.h)
Program Overview
Create a function that returns the length of the C-string passed to it.
The trick to this function is remembering that all properly formed C-strings end with a null terminator, which is \x00, \0, 0.
The code might use a while loop that moves through each character in the C-string until it encounters a null string terminator.
The string_length function will take input from main's argument 1
It will print out the argument
It will call string_length
Then it will print out the string length
Steps to complete
Follow the CODE: instructions provided in main.c
Write a user test that tests the program's length function (user_tests/utest22.01.json)
Run /challenge/tester to get the flag

Objective
Complete the programming assignment.

Objective
I'm learning to program, please explain every step to me like I'm a child and talk directly to me through the comments but make it fun
In this challenge, you will write a program that concatenates two strings provided by arguments 1 and 2 without using the c-string library (string.h)
Program Overview
Create a function that concatenates 2 c-strings.
Pass arg1 and arg2 to the new function
Print out the concatenated strings
Steps to complete
Copy the string_length function from level 1, by using cat on the main.c from the prior level, which is located at ../01/main.c
In the main function , which must receive command parameters argc and argv
Check to make sure that only 2 command line arguments are used (i.e., argc equals 3, one for name of binary, and 2 given by user)
if the number of arguments are incorrect then
printf("Error wrong number of parameters, usage: %s arg1 arg2\n", argv[0]);
return 99
print "The received strings are arg1=\"%s\" arg2=\"%s\"\n" where the %s's are arg1 and arg2
declare a c-string of size 100, named cstr, and initialize it to ""
concatenate argument 1 to cstr
concatenate argument 2 to cstr
print "The concatenated string is \"%s\"\n"add the statement to the end, puts("That's all for katkat\n")
void concatenate_strings(char str1[], char str2[])
The function copies str2 to the end of str1 *
if you want you may copy the string_length function from the prior level.
Write a user test that tests the program's concatenate function (user_tests/utest22.02.1.json)
To use a double quote in the test case, it must be escaped, "which is done like \"this\"."

If 2 arguments are provided, use the second argument as the max length to copy
Copy the argument using the copy function
Print out the copied variable

In this challenge, you will write a program that compares arg1 to arg2 and prints the result without using the c-string library (string.h).
Requirements
Objective
In this challenge, you will write a program that compares arg1 to arg2 and prints the result without using the c-string library (string.h).
Program Overview
Write a function that will compare 2 strings
Call the function using arg arg1 and arg2
It will print 0 if they match exactly.
It will print a negative value if the mismatching character of arg2 is larger than the character in arg1.
It will print a positive value if the mismatching character of arg2 is smaller than the character in arg1.

📋 P2.2 Level 05 c-up
Module: 21-proj-c-intro-vars
Challenge: p22-level-05
Objective
In this challenge, you will write a program that changes vowels to upper case letters without using the c-string library (string.h).
Requirements
Objective
In this challenge, you will write a program that changes vowels to upper case letters without using the c-string library (string.h).
Program Overview
Create a function that will change the vowels in a word to upper case
The program will use arg1 as a filename
It will read from the file
It will pass the input to the function and change all vowels to upper case
It will join together all the words on a single line and with a space between each word
Once done mangling all the words, it will print them all at at once.
Steps to complete
Copy the string_length and concatenate_strings functions from level 2, by using cat on the main.c from the prior level, which is located at ../02/main.c
Follow the CODE: instructions provided in main.c
Write a user test that tests the the uppercase vowel functionality (user_tests/utest22.05.1.json)
Run /challenge/tester to get the flag

Objective
Your task is to review, identify, and fix errors in the provided C code .
Requirements
Objective
Your task is to review, identify, and fix errors in the provided C code .
Program Should Complete the Following
Take a list of numbers as input from a file provided via argument 1
Calculate the average of the numbers.
Find the highest and lowest numbers.
Print out the average, highest, and lowest numbers.
Steps to complete
Create 3 test cases:
6.1 tests the average value
6.2 tests the highest number value
6.3 tests the lowest number value
Fix the bugs in the code so that it meets the system and user tests
Hints:
Some loops might have wrong conditions or variable names (verify the < and <= are doing what you expect)
Add a print statement to check that the accumulation for the average is the proper value
Look for undeclared or incorrectly declared variables.
Steps to Complete
Create 3 test cases:
6.1 tests the average value
6.2 tests the highest number value
6.3 tests the lowest number value

Get the flag from the variable after it's loaded into memory
Steps to print out a variable (see prior challenge)
Steps to change a variable
Find a good place to stop the execution with a breakpoint
Via the gui: double click on the variable and change the value (for characters completely remove the value and replace with 'c')
Via the debugger console: use the command -exec set variable a = 99
Steps to Complete
Open the main.c for level 08 in vscode
Run the debugger in vscode

When first breakpoint is hit, set a=10.
Continue until next breakpoint is hit.

📋 P2.2 Level 09 c-grind
Module: 21-proj-c-intro-vars
Challenge: p22-level-09
Objective
Use valgrind to locate the origin of the segmentation faults (2) in this blackjack game.
Requirements
Objective
Use valgrind to locate the origin of the segmentation faults (2) in this blackjack game.
Steps to complete
Compile main.c with debugging enabled -g
Run main.bin using valgrind
Read valgrind's output looking for the segmentation fault, which will be similar to
Process terminating with default action of signal 11 (SIGSEGV)
Fix the code, recompile, and try again
Use tester to test your code and get the flag
