Linux and C Practical Guide

The document provides a practical guide for Linux and C programming, featuring a simple shell script and a C program that demonstrate basic programming concepts. The shell script includes variable usage, condition checks, loops, and functions, while the C program showcases similar concepts with file existence checks and string comparisons. Both scripts serve as educational tools for understanding scripting and programming fundamentals.

Linux and C Programming Practical

Guide (Simplified)
Simple Shell Script for Cloud Shell
This script will:
- Use basic variables
- Check file and string conditions
- Perform simple control structures (if-else, loops)
- Use positional parameters
- Include a simple function

Shell Script Code:


#!/bin/bash

echo "Welcome to Cloud Shell!"

my_var="Cloud Shell scripting"


echo "Variable content: $my_var"

echo "Enter a number:"


read number

if [ $number -gt 0 ]; then


echo "The number is positive."
elif [ $number -lt 0 ]; then
echo "The number is negative."
else
echo "The number is zero."
fi

echo "Counting from 1 to 3:"


for i in {1..3}
do
echo $i
done

str1="hello"
str2="Hello"
if [ "$str1" = "$str2" ]; then
echo "The strings are the same."
else
echo "The strings are different."
fi

echo "Enter a file name to check:"


read filename
if [ -e "$filename" ]; then
echo "File exists."
else
echo "File does not exist."
fi

echo "The first argument passed is: $1"


echo "The second argument passed is: $2"

my_function() {
echo "This is a simple function!"
}
my_function

Simple C Program Demonstrating Shell Concepts


This C program demonstrates:
1. Variable usage
2. Decision making (if-else)
3. Loops (for, while)
4. String comparison
5. File existence check
6. Functions

C Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int fileExists(const char *filename) {


FILE *file = fopen(filename, "r");
if (file) {
fclose(file);
return 1;
} else {
return 0;
}
}

int main() {
char myVar[] = "C programming in action!";
printf("Variable content: %s\n", myVar);

int number;
printf("Enter a number: ");
scanf("%d", &number);

if (number > 0) {
printf("The number is positive.\n");
} else if (number < 0) {
printf("The number is negative.\n");
} else {
printf("The number is zero.\n");
}

printf("Counting from 1 to 3:\n");


for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {
printf("%d\n", i);
}

char str1[] = "hello";


char str2[] = "Hello";

if (strcmp(str1, str2) == 0) {
printf("The strings are the same.\n");
} else {
printf("The strings are different.\n");
}

char filename[100];
printf("Enter a file name to check: ");
scanf("%s", filename);

if (fileExists(filename)) {
printf("File exists.\n");
} else {
printf("File does not exist.\n");
}
printf("Calling a function:\n");
printf("This is a simple function demonstration!\n");

return 0;
}
