**2. Answer Memory Allocation Question**
```c
void func() {
int x; // declares an integer on the stack
...
}
void func() {
int *x = (int *) malloc(sizeof(int));
...
}
#include <stdlib.h>
...
void *malloc(size_t size);
double *d = (double *) malloc(sizeof(double));
int *x = malloc(10 * sizeof(int));
printf("%d\n", sizeof(x));
int x[10];
printf("%d\n", sizeof(x));
```
*Note: Allocating and freeing memory is fraught with possible errors.*
**Can you explain?**
See text section 14.4 for important caveats.

In this example, the focus is on understanding memory allocation in C programming, specifically comparing stack and heap allocation and their implications:
- The first code block shows an integer variable `x` declared on the stack.
- The second block demonstrates dynamic memory allocation using `malloc`, which allocates memory on the heap.
- The importance of including the `<stdlib.h>` library, which provides the `malloc` function, is highlighted.
- An example of allocating memory for a `double` variable using `malloc` is provided.
- The size of dynamically and statically allocated integer arrays is printed, illustrating the difference between stack and heap memory sizes.
- The note highlights that correctly handling memory allocation and deallocation is critical to prevent errors.
For a detailed explanation, refer to text section 14.4.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/37d58292-49ac-4512-b8fc-4d8dd687eb61/7aec751e-e552-4cf1-94cb-f8d2329dc488/zdklo6d_processed.png)

- For this assignment, write a pair of programs, in C or as shell scripts, to send and receive a message. Your programs will: Send and receive a message by a covert channel on a MINIX 3 system. Hint: A permission bit can be seen even when a file is otherwise inaccessible, and the sleep command or system call is guaranteed to delay for a fixed time, set by its argument. Measure the data rate on an idle system. Create an artificially heavy load by starting up numerous different background processes and measure the data rate again.arrow_forwardWrite a program that consists in three processes to print the message “ping-pong” two times on screen. The main process creates two processes Ping and Pong (Ping can only print “ping” and Pong can only print “pong”), then wait for them to finish. Use the following pipes to synchronize Ping and Pong Hint: - To make a process waits, let him read from an empty pipe - The main process is not allowed to print on screen.arrow_forwardWrite a program to handle a user's rolodex entries. (A rolodex is a system with tagged cards each representing a contact. It would contain a name, address, and phone number. In this day and age, it would probably have an email address as well.) Typical operations people want to do to a rolodex entry are: 1) Add entry 2) Edit entry 3) Delete entry 4) Find entry 5) Print all entries 6) Quit You can decide what the maximum number of rolodex entries is and how long each part of an entry is (name, address, etc.). When they choose to edit an entry, give them the option of selecting from the current rolodex entries or returning to the main menu — don't force them to edit someone just because they chose that option. Similarly for deleting an entry. Also don't forget that when deleting an entry, you must move all following entries down to fill in the gap. If they want to add an entry and the rolodex is full, offer them the choice to return to the main menu or select a person to overwrite. When…arrow_forward

Computers represent a character as a sequence of 8 bits, which means you can represent up to 256 symbols per character. However, depending on the source, it is common to have messages/files using an alphabet with a size of fewer than 256 symbols. The simplest way to achieve compression is to use a fixed-length code generator. The idea behind this type of code generator is to assign a fixed-length bit sequence to each alphabet symbol. Given an alphabet (where each symbol is represented by a character and a decimal value with the code of the symbol), you need to implement a fixed-length code decompressor based on the following steps: ◦Read the contents of the input file using input redirection (STDIN). The format of the input file is as follow: - An integer value representing the number of symbols in the alphabet - n lines (where…arrow_forwardWrite an ARM assembly program to convert temperatures from Celsius to Fahrenheit or from Fahrenheit to Celsius.
