Tutorial IV.I

Write a C program that reads n integers

(n ≥ 2) and prints the second largest among
them. The number of integers n is a data.

Tutorial IV.II

Solve the previous problem when the number of

integers is is not a data. Use the return value of
scanf() or the eof() function. Take care of cases
when no input or only one input is provided
and the second largest is not defined.

getchar() and putchar()

You may use getchar() to read a character from

the stdin (keyboard) and print the character
using putchar() in the stdout (VDU).

#include <stdio.h>
int main(){ // tutIV.3.c
char c ;

c = getchar() ;
putchar(c) ;
putchar(’\n’) ;
return 0 ;
}

Loop Termination

Character read can be used to control a loop.

As an example a loop can be terminated after
reading the end of the line ’\n’ (newline) or at
the end-of-file EOF (Ctrl-D).

while((c = getchar()) != ’\n’)

putchar(c) ;
putchar(’\n’) ;
return 0 ;
}

ASCII to Number

The face value of a digit d can be extracted by

subtracting the ASCII code of character ‘0’
from the ASCII code of d.

Tutorial IV.III

Write a C program that reads a sequence of

decimal digits as characters (not more than 9
digits) and converts it to its integral value and
prints it as hex numeral.
Input: 1234 - read as characters 1, 2, 3, 4
Output: 4D2
