There is much material about how to turn in lab assignments in this class, how to use omega, tips on writing functions, and bits of info about challenging things in C. ** USE IT.** Other material posted here includes old test materials and links outside UTA to related and useful sites. There are also links to UTA and other sites with information on the vi editor, the pico editor, on Unix systems, and OIT information. A quick link to a page of Dr. T's helpful C stuff [This is USEFUL stuff! Check it out!]
Come to class! It's fun! Bring your textbook because we'll be using it.

How to submit your 1320 Lab - including script file info and more
Updated Jan. 2012
Lab Assignment Submission Information for Dr. Tiernan's section of CSE 1320
Links to information about using 'getline' instead of 'gets':
GNU C Manual - Line-Oriented Input
GNU C Programming Tutorial - getline
To get input from data files:
Include stdio.h as a header file, declare a FILE * variable, use fopen to connect the FILE * variable to your physical file. See references further below for C file I/O examples.
To deal with reading strings correctly from files:
When reading a string after reading a number from a file, you may need to read a junk character out between reading the number and the string. Use the getc(file_pointer) command to read one character from a file. If one doesn't work try using two getc commands.
To compile multiple physical files into a single program:
To compile two files (Ex: L41.c and L42.c) together into a single
program, use the gcc command with both file names following. Example:
myomega>gcc L41.c L42.c
To get time and date information for your program using C functions:
Information and an example using localtime(), time(), and the struct tm are available at
www.cplusplus.com/ref/ctime/localtime.html
Click on the various links to see the struct definition and other examples
