Explanation of Solution
Function definition for “mul3div4()” function:
The implementation for “mul3div4()” function is given below:
//Header file
#include <stdio.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include <limits.h>
//Function definition for divide by power of "2"
int divide_power2(int x, int k)
{
//Determine negation value
int isNegation = x & INT_MIN;
//Check condition
(isNegation && (x = x + (1 << k) - 1));
//Returns value by using "x >> k" that is "x/(2^k)"
return x >> k;
}
//Function definition for mul3div4 function
int mul3div4(int x)
{
//Compute multiply "3"
int m3 = (x << 1) + x;
/* Returns the value of "3 * x/4" by calling function "divide_power2" */
return divide_power2(m3, 2);
}
//Main function
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
//Assign the value for "x"
int xValue = 0x87651234;
/* Call function "mul3div4" with checking "x * 3 / 4" value using assert function */
assert(mul3div4(xValue) == xValue * 3 / 4);
return 0;
}

Write a C-function with two arguments (n and r) that has prototype:
char clearbit(char k, char bits)
The function clears (sets to 0) the bit number k (in the range of 0 to 7) in bits and returns the resulting value. For example, if k is 0x02 and bits is 0x07, the function would return bits with its k’th bit cleared, resulting in 0x03. It must not change other bits in bits.
Hint: You may use any number of C-statements, but this task can be accomplished in as few as one!
Write a function setbits(x,p,n,y) that returns x with the n bits that begin at position
p set to the rightmost n bits of y, leaving the other bits unchanged.
Suppose we number the bytes in a w-bit word from 0 (least significant) to w/8 – 1 (most significant). Write code for the following C function, which will return an unsigned value in which byte i of argument x has been replaced by byte b:
unsigned replace_byte (unsigned x, int i, unsigned char b);
Here are some examples showing how the function should work:
replace_byte(0x12345678, 2, 0xAB) --> 0x12AB5678
replace_byte(0x12345678, 0, 0xAB) --> 0x123456AB
Bit-Level Integer Coding Rules
In several of the following problems, we will artificially restrict what programming constructs you can use to help you gain a better understanding of the bit-level, logic, and arithmetic operations of C. In answering these problems, your code must follow these rules:
Allowed operations
All bit-level and logic operations.
Left and right shifts, but only with shift amounts between 0 and w – 1.
Addition and subtraction.
Equality (==) and inequality (!=) tests. (Some of the problems do not allow…
