##The C Language and Make tool Questions

1. How do you use `gcc` to only produce the `.o` file? What is the difference between generating only the `.o` file, and building the `hello` executable done in the previous compilation above?
- **Answer:** *YOUR ANSWER HERE*
- **Answer:** *gcc-c hello.c -o hello.o, can be used to share with other, and then linked together to make an executable.*
1. Give the command for compiling with `debug` enabled instead of normal compilation for the two examples shown in Listing 2 and Listing 3. Explain how to turn debugging on/off for the two cases.
- **Answer:** *YOUR ANSWER HERE*
- **Answer:** * gcc -DDEBUG hello.c -o hello*
1. Give a brief pros and cons discussion for the two methods to add debug code shown in Listing 2 and Listing 3.
- **Answer:** *YOUR ANSWER HERE*
- **Answer:** *Listing 2 is clearly better than Listing 3. Listing 2 will have its filesize reduced if not in debugmode. While Listing 3 has the same size no matter what mode it is compiled in.*
1. Provide the command for generating the *map* file. Which of the `gcc` tools is responsible for producing a *map* file?

- **Answer:** *added: int i; int debug = 1; static int a = 1;*
1. Add the following function to `hello.c`: `double multiply(double x1, double x2)`, which returns `x1*x2`. Use `gcc` to generate an assembly code listing for the program, and examine the assembly code. What assembly instructions are used to do this? Repeat this task, but now replace `double` with `float`. Explain!
- **Answer:** *YOUR ANSWER HERE*
- **Answer:** *double -> mulsd, float -> mulss, no idea why, I guess the ALU in the processor has different tools for different datatypes.*

##Library Task

Insert your code between the brackets `{}`:

void main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
{
int tableSize;
double min = 0.0;
double max = 100.0;

if(atoi(argv[1])){
tableSize = atoi(argv[1]);
}else{
printf("You need to specify table size!");
}

double table[tableSize];
if(argc >= 3 ){
min = atof(argv[2]);
}else {
min = 0.0;
}
if(argc >= 4){
max = atof(argv[3]);
}else{
max = 100.0;
}

srand(time(NULL));
int i;

for(i = 0; i < tableSize; i++){
table[i] = randDouble(min,max);
}
printf("Here is our array :\n");
for(i=0; i < tableSize; i++){
printf("%.2f, ", table[i]);

}

printf("and the sum: \n %.2f,\n ",tab_sort_sum(table, tableSize));


}



}

double tab_sort_sum( double *tab, int tab_size )
{
}
double tab_sort_sum( double *tab, int tab_size )
{
double table[tab_size];
double sum;
int i;


for(i= 0; i < tab_size; i++){
table[i] = tab[i];
}



for(i=0; i < tab_size -1; ++i){
int j;
double temp;
int min = i;
for(j= i+1; j < tab_size; ++j){
if(table[j] < table[min]) min = j;
}
temp = table[i];
table[i] = table[min];
table[min] = temp;
}





printf("\nThe sorted list\n");
for(i = 0; i < tab_size; i++){
printf(" %.2f ", table[i]);
}
printf("\n");
for(i = 0; i < tab_size; i++){
sum += table[i];

}
return sum;
}
