ACM 368 QUIZ 2 COMPUTER PART . 14 April 2008 17:00-17:50
Select any two of the following problems. Each problem is 14 points. You should give the results in electronic form using the USB drive provided.

1. This shell script should prompt the user to input a university from a list that includes isik, itu, odtu, ege, iyte, bu and 7tepe. If the user enters isik, itu, 7tepe or bu the script prints "in Istanbul" , if (s)he enters odtu prints "in Ankara", if (s)he enters ege or iyte prints “in Izmir” otherwise prints "I don’t know".


2. This shell script should be called with a single argument. If the argument exists as a file echo each line and at the end echo the number of lines in the file. If the argument does not exist, echo a message that states this.


3. Write a shell script that accepts three numbers from the command line, gives the sum of all numbers starting with the first and ending with the second that are exactly divisible by (in other words exact multiple of) the third number. For example: if the script is called with ./exer1 20 30 3, the sum 21+24+27+30 must be calculated and echoed.

Assume someone gives you the answers to this test, you turn it in, and get 100%. Then you get to the next level linux class, and you're faced with questions that stump you. Do you post that online, also? Eventually, you would get to the point where you are treading in deep water with nobody to help you. Don't be that guy.

[oj]

Just as likely someone answers everything wrong, you turn that in and get 0% and flunk the class.

Either way, what's your motivation for even facing such tests? A student's motivation is the singular factor that delimits outcomes.

[ofbodur]

I did most of the questions but I just wanted to check that they are true or not? These questions are not official exam questions. They are just similar ones that may come out in the exam.

If you look my past posts you will see that I give much effort for this. I am a new-comer to Linux World, so I think I deserve some help!

Anyway, if you don't want to help, just be that guy.

here's is a good source for info:

bear in mind, we *are* trying to help. just maybe not in the way you want.

Thanks ,

I will investigate the source you gave.

The problem is solved.
