4.8.2 Notes

4.8.3 Lab Assignment, Subroutines

Write two programs. The first program is a set of subroutines called by a "C" program. The second is a main program that calls "C" functions.

  1. Change my printfib.c program so that it prints your name, class (CIS250), the lab's name and the date. Remove the three subroutines. Here is the program that I wrote in "C".
    /* Louis Taber PCC 10/31/2004  C Fibonacci Program ver #1 */
    
    #include <stdio.h>
    int fibreset(void);
    int fib(int index);
    int fib2(int index);
    
    int fibcount;			/* keep track of number of calls */
    
    int main()
    {
    int i, f1, f2, f1c, f2c;
    
    fibreset();			/* Clear call count */
    
    printf("Louis Taber, PCC     C Fibonacci Program\n"
           "Compiled: " __DATE__ "  File: " __FILE__ "\n\n"
           "Index  Fibonacci    Calls    Fibonacci     Calls\n");
    
    for( i=0; i<=36; i++ )          /* First 36 numbers */
      {
      f1=fib(i);
      f1c=fibreset();
      f2=fib2(i);
      f2c=fibreset(); 
      printf("%5d %10d %10d    %10d %10d\n", i, f1, f1c, f2, f2c);
      }
    }
    
    int fibreset(void)		/* return old count */
      {
      int count;
    
      count = fibcount;
      fibcount = 0;			/* reset count */
      return count;
      }
    
    int fib(int index)		/* traditional recursive routine */
      {
      fibcount++;
      return index < 2 ? index : fib(index-1) + fib(index-2);
      }
    
    int fib2(int index)             /* faster recursive routine */
      {
      fibcount++;
    
      if( index == 14 ) return 377;
      if( index == 15 ) return 610;
      if( index == 28 ) return 317811;
      if( index == 29 ) return 514229;
      return index < 2 ? index : fib2(index-1) + fib2(index-2);
      }
    
    
    
    
    This is the output of the program.

  2. Re-write the three subroutines used in printfib.c in assembly language.
    1. fibreset() -- resets global variables.
    2. fib() -- simple recursive Fibonacci function.
    3. fib2() -- enhanced recursive Fibonacci functions.
    Use the "C" calling convention.
  3. Add the necessary global and extern statements.
  4. Compile my modified program.
  5. Assemble your subroutines.
  6. Link the program, subprogram together.
  7. Run the program. The output should be identical to my output.
  8. Extra credit. Re-write the fib2 function used in printfib2.c, or printfib3.c in assembly language.

Turn in a printed error free listing of the assembly language programs & subprograms, a copy of the modified "C" main program, and the output of your program. Include a copy of any testing that you did to verify the program was correct.
