SE250:lab-2:aomr001

The lab task for todays lab was to find more and explore pointers and different data structures. I have done a number of different tasks and compiled and ran these on 2 different machines, on a windows operating system (x32) and on a LINUX machine (x64) to see what effect that would have on my results.

task1

for task 1 .. my code was :

char *ip;
    double *ip1;
    short *ip2;
    float *ip3;
    long *ip4;
    printf("ip = %d\nip1 = %d\nip2 = %d\nip3 = %d\nip4 = %d\n",
	   sizeof(ip),sizeof(ip1),sizeof(ip2),sizeof(ip3),sizeof(ip4));

and the output on the vista os was:

ip = 4
ip1 = 4
ip2 = 4
ip3 = 4
ip4 = 4

while the output on the linux machine was:

ip = 4
ip1 = 4
ip2 = 4
ip3 = 4
ip4 = 4

task2

a)

printf("address of x= %p, address of y= %p, difference= %ld\n",&x, &y ,(long)(&x - &y));

output on windows:

address of x= 0x22ccc4, address of y= 0x22ccc0, difference= 1

ouput on linux:

&x = 0xfff0b9dc, &y = 0xfff0b9d8, diff = 1

i was asked to do a little editing to the code:

printf("address of x= %p, address of y= %p, difference= %ld\n",&x, &y  ,((long)&x -(long)&y));

output on windows:

address of x= 0x22ccc4, address of y= 0x22ccc0, difference= 4

output on LINUX:

&x = 0xfff0b9dc, &y = 0xfff0b9d8, diff = 4

task3

printf("sizeof arr = %d\n", sizeof(arr));

output on windows:

sizeof arr = 4

output on LINUX:

size of arr = 4

c)

printf("address of arr  = %p",&arr);

output on WINDOWS:

address of arr = 2280640

output on LINUX:

address of arr = 0xffc1d9d4

d)

printf("arr+4 = %d, &arr[4]= %d", arr+4,&arr[4]);

output on LINUX:

arr+4 = -2225704, &arr[4]= -2225704

e)

for (i =0; i < 10; i++){
    arr[i];
    printf("diff &x - &y  = %d\n",(long)(&x - &y));

output on WINDOWS:

diff btwn &x and &y whn arr[0] = 8
diff btwn &x and &y whn arr[1] = 2
diff btwn &x and &y whn arr[2] = 2
diff btwn &x and &y whn arr[3] = 8
diff btwn &x and &y whn arr[4] = 2
diff btwn &x and &y whn arr[5] = 8
diff btwn &x and &y whn arr[6] = 8
diff btwn &x and &y whn arr[7] = 8
diff btwn &x and &y whn arr[8] = 4
diff btwn &x and &y whn arr[9] = 8
diff btwn &x and &y whn arr[10] = 8

output on LINUX:

diff &x - &y  = 1
diff &x - &y  = 1
diff &x - &y  = 1
diff &x - &y  = 1
diff &x - &y  = 1
diff &x - &y  = 1
diff &x - &y  = 1
diff &x - &y  = 1
diff &x - &y  = 1
diff &x - &y  = 1

f)

  printf("x = %d, y = %d",x,y);

output on WINDOWS:

x = 10, y = 0

output on LINUX:

x = 167772160, y = 0

task4

X and y as global variables
printf("&x = %p, &y = %p, diff = %ld\n",&x,&y, (long)(&x - &y));
printf("&x = %p, &y = %p, diff = %ld\n",&x,&y, (long)&x - (long)&y);
printf(“sizeof(arr) = &d”, sizeof(arr));
printf("address of arr = %d",&arr);
printf("address of arr+4  = %d",&arr+4);
printf("address of arr [4]= %d",&arr[4]);

output on WINDOWS:
