1.9 Character Array

1. print the longest line

#include <stdio.h>
#define MAXLINE 100		// maximum input line length

int getline(char line[], int maxline);
void copy(char to[], char from[]);

int main()
{
	int len;			// current line length
	int max;			// maximum length seen so far
	char line[MAXLINE];		// current input line
	char longest[MAXLINE];	// longest line saved here
	
	max = 0;
	while ((len = getline(line, MAXLINE)) > 0)
		if (len > max){
			max = len;
			copy(longest, line);
		}
	if (max > 0)		// there was a line
		printf("%s", longest);
	return 0;
}

// getline: read a line into s, return length
int getline(char s[], int lim)
{
	int c, i;
	
	for (i = 0; i < lim - 1 && (c = getchar()) != EOF && c != '\n'; ++i)
		s[i] = c;
	if (c == '\n') {
		s[i] = c;
		++i;
	}
	s[i] = '\0';
	return i;
}

// copy: copy 'from' into 'to'; assume to is big enough
void copy(char to[], char from[])
{
	int i;
	
	i = 0;
	while ((to[i] = from[i]) != '\0')
		++i;
}

Exercise 1-16.

Revise the main routine of the longest-line program so it will correctly print the length of arbitrary long input lines, and as much as possible of the text.

#include <stdio.h>
#define MAXLINE 30	// maximum input line length

int getline(char line[], int maxline);
void copy(char to[], char from[]);

int main()
{
	int len;			// current line length
	int max;			// maximum length seen so far
	char line[MAXLINE];		// current input line
	char longest[MAXLINE];	// longest line saved here
	
	max = 0;
	while ((len = getline(line, MAXLINE)) > 0){
		printf("%d, %s", len, line);
		if (len > max){
			max = len;
			copy(longest, line);
		}
	}
	if (max > 0)		// there was a line
		printf("%s", longest);
	return 0;
}

// getline: read a line into s, return length
int getline(char s[], int lim)
{
	int c, i, j;
	 
	j = 0;
	for (i = 0; (c = getchar()) != EOF && c != '\n'; ++i)
		if (i < lim - 2){
			s[j] = c;		// line still in boundaries
			++j;
		}
	if (c == '\n') {
		s[j] = c;
		++j;
		++i;
	}
	s[j] = '\0';
	return i;
}

// copy: copy 'from' into 'to'; assume to is big enough
void copy(char to[], char from[])
{
	int i;
	
	i = 0;
	while ((to[i] = from[i]) != '\0')
		++i;
}
