This assignment has two versions. For the light version you can get 1.5 K₡. For
|
|
the _full fat_ 3 K₡. **You can choose only one of them**.
|
|
|
|
To both of them you are given some basic tests. You can also have a look at the
|
|
code used by the tests and use it to your advantage.
|
|
|
|
Details can be found in the doxygen comments included in the source files.
|

|
## Light version (`main_light.c`)
|
|
|
|
[Source](pathname:///files/pb071/bonuses/03/main_light.c)
|
|
|
|
For the light version you have 3 functions to finish:
|
|
|
|
1. `swap` - that swaps two ints passed by pointers.
|
|
2. `maximum` - that returns index of the biggest `int` in the array.
|
|
3. `select_sort` - that sorts passed array using Select Sort.
|
|
|
|
## Full fat version (`main.c`)
|
|
|
|
[Source](pathname:///files/pb071/bonuses/03/main.c)
|
|
|
|
For the full fat version you have 4 functions to implement:
|
|
|
|
1. `swap` - that swaps two variables passed by pointers.
|
|
2. `maximum` - that returns index of the biggest element in the array using the
|
|
comparator.
|
|
3. `select_sort` - that sorts passed array using Select Sort.
|
|
4. `int_comparator` - that is used for generic sort and maximum
|
|
|
|
To 2nd and 3rd function you are given a pseudocode that you can use to implement
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
:::tip Function pointers
|
|
|
|
In the skeleton of the “full fat” version you might have noticed a weird type
|
|
signature of both the `maximum` and `select_sort` functions. Those functions get
|
|
passed a _function pointer_ to the comparator that you use for comparing the
|
|
respective elements in the passed in array.
|
|
|
|
If we take the parameter from one of the functions from the skeleton:
|
|
```c
|
|
int (*comp)(const void *, const void *)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`comp` is a function pointer to a function that takes two pointers of unspecified
|
|
type, i.e. pure address to the memory (you don't know what stored in there), and
|
|
returns an `int`.
|
|
|
|
You can pass the function by simply using its name. (There is no need to use `&`
|
|
to get its address.) And you can also call the function by “calling” the function
|
|
pointer, e.g. `comp(left, right)`.

## Submitting
|
|
|
|
For submitting the bonus assignment you can follow the same procedure as for
|
|
submitting the homeworks, that is:
|
|
|
|
1. On branch `main` add the provided skeleton.
|
|
2. Checkout new branch `seminar-bonus-03`.
|
|
3. Add your solution to the newly created branch.
|
|
4. Create a MR to the `main` branch with me (`@xfocko`) as the reviewer.
|

|
:::tip Directory structure for bonuses
|
|
|
|
Ideally create a directory `seminar-bonuses` in the root of your repository with
|
|
bonuses in their own subdirectories.
|
|
|
|
Structure of your repository can look like this:
|
|
```
|
|
.
|
|
├── bonuses
|
|
│ └── seminar-03
|
|
├── hello
|
|
├── hw01
|
|
├── hw02
|
|
├── seminar-01
|
|
├── seminar-02
|
|
└── seminar-03
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
.
|
|
├── bonus-seminar-03
|
|
├── hello
|
|
├── hw01
|
|
├── hw02
|
|
├── seminar-01
|
|
├── seminar-02
|
|
└── seminar-03
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Structure of the bonuses is entirely up to you, just keep it consistent.
