Systems Programming

The document contains 5 programming assignments involving shell scripting. Assignment 1 has students write a script to determine if a number is prime interactively or via command line arguments. Assignment 2 involves counting lines, words, and characters in a file interactively or via arguments. Assignment 3 generates a multiplication table interactively, via arguments, or file redirection. Assignment 4 uses nested if-else statements to compare 3 numbers. Assignment 5 reads all txt files in a directory and merges their contents into a new output file.

SP ASSIGNMENT

1. Write a shell script to determine whether a given number is a prime number or not.

a) Interactively.

b) By command line arguments.

Solution:

a) Interactively

#!/bin/bash

echo -e "Enter Number : \c"

read n

for((i=2; i<=$n/2; i++))

do

ans=$(( n%i ))

if [ $ans -eq 0 ]

then

echo "$n is not a prime number."

exit 0

fi

done

echo "$n is a prime number."

b) Command line argument: 1 4

Output:

1 is prime number.
4 is not a prime number.

2.Write a shell script which counts the number of lines and number of words present in a given file.

a) Interactive version

b) Command Line arguments version

solution:

a) Interactive version

echo Enter the filename

read file

w=`cat $file | wc -w`

c=`cat $file | wc -c`

l=`grep -c "." $file`

echo Number of characters in $file is $c

echo Number of words in $file is $w

echo Number of lines in $file is $l


b) Command line argument: File1

Output:

File1 has been created.

After executing the codes it will ask to enter filename.

Our filename is File1.

File1 will shows the number of characters, words and lines.


3. Write a shell script to generate a multiplication table.

a) Interactive version: The program should accept an integer n given by the user and should print the
multiplication table of that n.

b) Command line arguments version: The program should take the value of n from the arguments
followed by the command.

c) Redirection version: The value of n must be taken from a file using input redirection.

solution:

a)

clear

echo "which number to generate multiplication table"

read number

i=1

while [ $i -le 10 ]

do

echo " $number * $i =`expr $number \* $i ` "

i=`expr $i + 1`

done
b)Command line arguments : 7 8

output:

4. Write a shell script using nested if-else with comparison operators of your own and explain each
statement of that script.

Solution:

#!/bin/bash

echo -n "Enter the first number: "

read VAR1

echo -n "Enter the second number: "

read VAR2

echo -n "Enter the third number: "

read VAR3

if [[ $VAR1 -ge $VAR2 ]]


then

if [[ $VAR1 -ge $VAR3 ]]

then

echo "$VAR1 is the largest number."

else

echo "$VAR3 is the largest number."

fi

else

if [[ $VAR2 -ge $VAR3 ]]

then

echo "$VAR2 is the largest number."

else

echo "$VAR3 is the largest number."

fi

fi

Command line Argument: 10 20 30

Output:
5.Write a program to read all txt files (that is files that ends with .txt) in the current directory and
merge them all to one txt file and returns a file descriptor for the new file.

Solution:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

int main()

// Open two files to be merged

FILE *fp1 = fopen("file1.txt", "r");

FILE *fp2 = fopen("file2.txt", "r");

// Open file to store the result


FILE *fp3 = fopen("file3.txt", "w");

char c;

if (fp1 == NULL || fp2 == NULL || fp3 == NULL)

puts("Could not open files");

exit(0);

// Copy contents of first file to file3.txt

while ((c = fgetc(fp1)) != EOF)

fputc(c, fp3);

// Copy contents of second file to file3.txt

while ((c = fgetc(fp2)) != EOF)

fputc(c, fp3);

printf("Merged file1.txt and file2.txt into file3.txt");

fclose(fp1);

fclose(fp2);

fclose(fp3);

return 0;

Output:

Merged file1.txt and file2.txt into file3.txt

Finish...
