Looks like your stock had a great day at the market. It bounced around, highs and lows, lots of nerves wracked and fingernails chewed, but the price ended higher on the day.

I hope you enjoyed crafting your solution for this month’s Exercise. It’s just for fun, as I assume no one is going to mess with C to such a degree that their code becomes so completely unrecognizable. Still, C coders are a mischievous bunch.

I hope you had a wee bit of a struggle with your solution to this month’s Exercise. It involves a lot of decisions and proper steps in the right order to hold off on debits so that the bank account never dips below zero.

Your challenge for this month’s Exercise is to write a sign() function, which returns 1, 0, or -1 depending on the sign of an integer. A relatively simple thing to code — I hope!

The challenge for this month’s Exercise is to initialize two different arrays to two sets of values. You should try to use only one loop and try to use a single statement to make the element assignments.

The challenge for this month’s Exercise is to discover those values in the range 1 to 999 that have the highest number of factors. Never mind the math! Let C and the computer do the work for you.

This month’s Exercise is to create a program that converts weight measurements by using this format:

nnnFT

Where nnn is a value, F is the unit to convert from, and T is the unit to convert to. This problem is more of an input-parsing exercise than a straight conversion.

The task for this month’s Exercise is to return the month number for a time_t value. Effectively you extract the year and month, do some math, presto. Could it be this easy?

I find it odd that the recursive solution for this month’s Exercise is far shorter than the non-recursive version. Yet, it has an elegance that’s evident in lots of recursive code examples.

The task for this month’s Exercise is to write code that outputs strings for number values, 0 through 100. Your goal is to be clever with your solution, something that took me a few versions to get correct.
