For my solution to this month’s Exercise I went binary. Several of the C language operators work at a binary level. Because the exercise was to make a binary, or bitwise, modification, I figured a binary operator would be in order.

The key to unlocking this month’s Exercise is not to go insane on the code that processes the solution. As I wrote in the Exercise post, with data analysis in C, it’s important to properly represent the data so that you can easily manipulate it.

This month’s task was to create code that translates spelling from a single word into the corresponding NATO phonetic alphabet words. For input such as hello the output would be something like:
Hotel Echo Lima Lima Oscar

To make the conversion between simulating a single frame of bowling and an entire game isn’t that simple, which is mostly due to calculating the dreaded 10th Frame.

A chessboard is merely a two-dimensional array — a matrix — one where the rows and columns are the same size. As long as you can write code to output an 8-by-8 board, you can modify the code to reset the board’s size to any value.

This month’s Exercise was to create a cycle of numbers, values that repeat within a certain range. Of all the Exercises presented so far on this site, this one probably has the greatest number of solutions.

This month’s Exercise required you to create three rounding functions: roundup(), rounddown(), and roundhalf(). Each one deals with a floating-point value in a specific way, but they all handle the basic rounding chore by typecasting a floating point variable to an integer.

If you attempted to compile the code skeleton for this month’s Exercise, you most likely stumbled across the first problem to solve: The average() function requires a type.

To solve this month’s Exercise you had to figure out a way to divvy up a dollar amount into the proper number of quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies. As with many programming puzzles, a number of ways exist to code a solution. Click here to view mine.
