Time: 3 Hrs. 1. a.

Maximum Marks: 100 40

Write Script to find out biggest number from given three numbers. The numbers are supplied as command line argument. Print error if sufficient arguments are not supplied.

b.

Write a C program that reads an ASCII decimal number from standard input. 60 The input is assumed to be a valid integer number in the range of 65-90 (corresponding to the ASCII codes of the characters 'A'-'Z'). For each input number, your program does the following processing: 1. writes its process ID enclosed in square brackets, followed by a colon and the input number to standard output. 2. then writes the corresponding character to a pipe 3. Continues to read numbers from standard input until end of file is reached. 4.The pipe is read by a child process, which writes its process ID enclosed in square brackets, followed by a colon and the character received from the parent to standard output.

a. b.

Write script to print nos as 5,4,3,2,1 using while loop. Write a C program that reads an ASCII character from standard input. The input is assumed to be a valid character A Z, a z; For each input, your program does the following processing: 1. writes its process ID enclosed in square brackets, followed by a colon and the input character to standard output. 2. then writes the corresponding ASCII decimal number to a pipe 3. Continues to read characters from standard input until end of file is reached. 4. The pipe is read by a child process, which writes its process ID enclosed in square brackets, followed by a colon and the decimal equivalent of the character received from the parent to standard output.

a. b.

Write Script, using case statement to perform addition and subtraction Write a C program that reads an integer in character form from standard input. The input is assumed to be a valid character 0 9; For each input, your program does the following processing: i. writes its process ID enclosed in square brackets, followed by a colon and the input character to standard output. ii. iii. iv. then writes the corresponding input to a pipe Continues to read characters from standard input until end of file is reached. The pipe is read by a child process, which writes its process ID enclosed in square brackets, followed by a colon and converts the sequence of characters as a decimal integer received from the parent and writes to standard output.

a.

Write script to determine whether given file exist or not, file name is supplied as command line argument, also check for sufficient number of command line argument

40

b.

Write a program in C that reads a file Input.txt. The input contains 60 strings of the following format +LDT #48 +LDA #L1 LDA #11 LDX @L3 Write a function called GENERATEOBJ, that takes a string in the above format as the first argument, followed by atmost 2 arguments and produce the object code following proper instruction format. Write the object code to a file Output.txt. The following is provided in main() int main() { struct optab[ ] = {{LDT, 0x74} , { LDX, 0x04 }, {LDA, 0x00} }; struct symtab[ ] = { {L1, 0x1000}, {L2, 0x1006}, {L3, 0x1003} }; // open your input file and read Call GENERATE OBJ return 0; }

The pipe is read by a child process, which writes its process ID enclosed in square brackets, followed by a colon and converts the time in seconds to time in hours, minutes and seconds, received from the parent and writes to standard output.
