Multifile programming

Previous [ ../lab07/ ] Next [ ../lab09/ ]

Goal

1. To experiment with multifile programming -- Chapter 5, section 5.9
2. To experiment with the Unix command line interfaces. Prepares for working remotely...
Note -- if you don't use "gedit" or a graphic browser like "Firefox" you can do this lab remotely...

Reference

1. Makefiles [ ../15.html#Makefiles and make ]
2. Multifile Programs [ ../15.html ] and Chapter 5, section 5.9.

Process

Create and change to directory to cs201/lab08

 		cd cs201

 		mkdir lab08

 		cd lab08

Download each of the following. [ plot.h ] [ plot.cpp ] [ graph.cpp ] [ makefile ] into your cs201/lab08

Use make to compile and run the project

 	make

Change the main program to plot a different function using vi

In the lab you can use

 	gedit graph.cpp &

or remotely (or if you are doing a CSE major) you should try out the 'vi' editor I use in class. First run this command

 	Q novice

and then you can edit files like this

 	vi graph.cpp

and tapping the letter 'q' will compile and run the program...

Experiment 2 -- download and test the books prodtest code

Download [ ../prodtest/ ]

You can edit a makefile just like any other file.

Add some recipes to this lab's makefile. Hint -- copy the examples already there and change the names of the files.

Test the program and makefile.

Work on project -- if time

Take note of something you have learned
