CS21 Week4 Thursday In-Class Exercises

1. Random Numbers. Lets look at the random library provided by the book together. Start by opening up the random.h header file in emacs or vim:

   % vi ~newhall/public/cs21/BookLibraries/random.h 
   

2. Using the gdb (or ddd) debugger

   Make a gdb subdirectory in your cs21 subdirectory and copy over these files:

       % cd
       % cd cs21
       % mkdir gdb
       % cd gdb
       % pwd
       /home/your_user_name/cs21/gdb
   
       % cp ~newhall/public/cs21/gdb/* .
   

   We will start by looking at my Compiling and Debugging Tips for C page off the CS21 homepage. We will then go through some examples using gdb to debug the programs you copied over.
