CS201
Lab 9 - String Practice
WELCOME BACK! TIME FOR A "WARM-UP" LABORATORY... :)

Objectives:

• Calculate the value of a resistor given its color bands, using a C program.

Readings:

• Read Chapter 9 in the Hanly/Koffman text.

Deliverables: (DUE BY THE END OF YOUR LAB ON 3/28 & 3/29!)

• Submittal of the following files:
  • Makefile
  • Proto.h
  • Lab8.c
  • Search.c

TO DO (for this lab)

• Design and Write a program to solve Programming Project #2 on page 495-497 of the Hanly/Koffman text.
• Be sure your Makefile will properly rebuild the run image.
• Inputs: Calculate the resistances of the following 5 resistors.
• green-black-yellow
• brown-violet-blue
• brown-black-orange
• red-red-green
• green-orange-red
• In addition, I will test a few other unknown resistor values.
• (on Screen) Sample Run:
  CS201 - Lab 9 - Resistor Calculator
Enter the colors of the resistor's three bands,
beginning with the band nearest the end. Type
the colors in lowercase letters only, NO CAPS.
Band 1 => blue
Band 2 => black
Band 3 => red
Resistance value: 6000 ohms
Do you want to decode another resistor ?

Helpful Hints

• Note: Check for the value of the resistance to be greater than 10000 ohms. Print kilo-ohms for values > 10000 ohms. Print ohms for valuse ≤ 10000 ohms.
• If you decide that you need to pass strings to function(s). Make sure to declare important input-only parameters as constant variables. 
• Remember the output redirection does not reflect input values, so be sure to check the following files for example formats.
