A int *val; B int &val; C int *&val; D int **val;

The information below applies to questions 20–21. Knowing that the boolean function
inList(char c, char * s) returns True if the character c is in the string s, otherwise it returns
False. Implement the function checkTitle(char * raw_title) as follows:
int checkTitle(char * raw_title){
int len_raw_title = strlen(raw_title);
// violate the string length
if(len_raw_title > 100){
return len_raw_title;
}
// first character is not space
/* (a) */{
return 0;
}
// check validity for middle characters
for(int i = 0; i < len_raw_title; ++i){
if(isLowerLetter(raw_title[i])
|| isUpperLetter(raw_title[i])
|| isDigit(raw_title[i])
|| inList(raw_title[i], " ,.-:|/")
){
/* (c) */
}
else {
return i;
}
}
// last character is not space
if(raw_title[len_raw_title-1] == ’ ’){
return len_raw_title-1;
}
return -1;
}

(L.O.1.2) Which can be /* (a) */?

struct Task {
int num;
char title[MAX_LENGTH_TITLE + 1];
char description[MAX_LENGTH_DESCRIPTION + 1];
char time[MAX_LENGTH_TIME + 1];
enum Status status;
};

And the addTask function declaration as follows:

Stu. ID: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Stu. Fullname: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Code: 2311 Page 4/12

 bool addTask(struct Task * array_tasks, int no_tasks, char * new_title, char *
new_description, char * new_time);

The function adds a new task to the end of the array with member variables corresponding to new_title,
new_description, new_time. The first task added to the application has num equal to 1. Tasks added after
the first task will have num equal to the num of the previously added task plus 1.
For an implementation in C of the function:
bool addTask(struct Task * array_tasks, int no_tasks, char * new_title, char *
new_description, char * new_time) {
if(no_tasks >= MAX_NO_TASKS){
return false;
}
/*(a)*/(array_tasks[/*(b)*/].title, new_title);
/*(a)*/(array_tasks[/*(b)*/].description, new_description);
/*(a)*/(array_tasks[/*(b)*/].time, new_time);

The information below applies to questions 28–29. Given the Task structure defined as follows:
struct Task {
int num;
char title[MAX_LENGTH_TITLE + 1];
char description[MAX_LENGTH_DESCRIPTION + 1];
char time[MAX_LENGTH_TIME + 1];
enum Status status;
};

And the addTask function declaration as follows:

bool addTask(struct Task * array_tasks, int no_tasks, char * new_title, char *
new_description, char * new_time);

Q 47. (L.O.3.1) Given the definition of a struct Date representing a day below. The struct Date consists of
three components: the variable day represents the day, the variable month represents the month, and the
variable year represents the year. It is assumed that even months have 30 days and odd months have 31
days. For example, February and April have 30 days, and September and November have 31 days.
struct Date{
int day;
int month;
int year;
};

Given the following function implemented in C programming language, the function takes the parameter
date of struct Date as input and returns a struct Date representing the previous date of the input
date.

The information below applies to questions 10–11. Given the Task structure defined as follows:
struct Task {
int num;
char title[MAX_LENGTH_TITLE + 1];
char description[MAX_LENGTH_DESCRIPTION + 1];
char time[MAX_LENGTH_TIME + 1];
enum Status status;
};

And the addTask function declaration as follows:

bool addTask(struct Task * array_tasks, int no_tasks, char * new_title, char *
new_description, char * new_time);

The function adds a new task to the end of the array with member variables corresponding to new_title,
new_description, new_time. The first task added to the application has num equal to 1. Tasks added after
the first task will have num equal to the num of the previously added task plus 1.
For an implementation in C of the function:
bool addTask(struct Task * array_tasks, int no_tasks, char * new_title, char *
new_description, char * new_time) {
if(no_tasks >= MAX_NO_TASKS){
return false;
}
/*(a)*/(array_tasks[/*(b)*/].title, new_title);
/*(a)*/(array_tasks[/*(b)*/].description, new_description);
/*(a)*/(array_tasks[/*(b)*/].time, new_time);
array_tasks[/*(b)*/].status = IN_PROGRESS;
array_tasks[/*(b)*/].num = /*(c)*/;
return true;
}

(L.O.2.1) The code for /*

Q 10.  (a) */ can be  
A strlen B strcat C strcpy D strtok

};

And the addTask function declaration as follows:

bool addTask(struct Task * array_tasks, int no_tasks, char * new_title, char *
new_description, char * new_time);

The function adds a new task to the end of the array with member variables corresponding to new_title,
new_description, new_time. The first task added to the application has num equal to 1. Tasks added after
the first task will have num equal to the num of the previously added task plus 1.

bool addTask(struct Task * array_tasks, int no_tasks, char * new_title, char *
new_description, char * new_time) {
if(no_tasks >= MAX_NO_TASKS){
return false;
}
/*(a)*/(array_tasks[/*(b)*/].title, new_title);
/*(a)*/(array_tasks[/*(b)*/].description, new_description);

Q 20. (L.O.3.1) Given the definition of a struct Date representing a day below. The struct Date consists of
three components: the variable day represents the day, the variable month represents the month, and the
variable year represents the year. It is assumed that even months have 30 days and odd months have 31
days. For example, February and April have 30 days, and September and November have 31 days.
struct Date{
int day;
int month;
int year;
};

Given the following function implemented in C programming language, the function takes the parameter
date of struct Date as input and returns a struct Date representing the previous date of the input
date.

The information below applies to questions 43–44. Given the Task structure defined as follows:
struct Task {
int num;
char title[MAX_LENGTH_TITLE + 1];
char description[MAX_LENGTH_DESCRIPTION + 1];
char time[MAX_LENGTH_TIME + 1];
enum Status status;
};

And the addTask function declaration as follows:

bool addTask(struct Task * array_tasks, int no_tasks, char * new_title, char *
new_description, char * new_time);

The function adds a new task to the end of the array with member variables corresponding to new_title,
new_description, new_time. The first task added to the application has num equal to 1. Tasks added after
the first task will have num equal to the num of the previously added task plus 1.
For an implementation in C of the function:
bool addTask(struct Task * array_tasks, int no_tasks, char * new_title, char *
new_description, char * new_time) {
if(no_tasks >= MAX_NO_TASKS){
return false;
}
/*(a)*/(array_tasks[/*(b)*/].title, new_title);
/*(a)*/(array_tasks[/*(b)*/].description, new_description);
/*(a)*/(array_tasks[/*(b)*/].time, new_time);
