CSI 205-Exam II

This document provides instructions for an exam on programming fundamentals. It outlines 3 problems to solve involving writing functions to: 1) return a specified digit of a number, 2) print a shape of a given height, and 3) check if one number is a power or multiple of another. Students are warned that cheating will result in a zero on the entire exam. The problems are worth varying percentages of the total grade.

[35 points] Problem 1
Write a function called getDigit() that returns the nth digit of an integer m. In the main, the user enters
the integer m and specifies also which digit in m he/she would like to print. You should then call the
function getDigit() and pass to it m and n so that it gives you back the corresponding digit. Your
function should return -1 in case the user chooses to print a digit that is outside the boundaries of the
m.

Note that the digits in m are numbered from left to right i.e. the leftmost digit is the first, the one on its
right is the second, and so on.

Example:
- If m = 2020 and n = 3 then your program should print 2 (since the rightmost 2 is the third
digit).
- If m = 2020 and n = 5 then your program should print -1 (since the value 2020 is composed of
4 digits only).
- If m = 2345012714 and n = 6 then the program prints 1 (the leftmost 1).

[35 points] Problem 2


Write a program that uses a function to print a shape of height n as shown below:

Example:
If n = 5, your program prints the following:

-*
*-*-
-*-*-*
*-*-*-*-
-*-*-*-*-

Your program should read n from the user in the main and then call the function to get the above shape.

[30 points] Problem 3


Write a program that uses two functions to check whether an integer n is a power of or a multiple of
another integer m and then prints the relation between both accordingly e.g.

- if n = 40 and m = 2 then your program prints 2*20 = 40


- If n = 27 and m = 3 then your program prints 3^3 = 27 (^ denotes power). Although power is a
special case of a multiple, yet power supersedes i.e. although 3 * 9 = 27 yet also 3^3 = 27 is
true so your program should prefer the second case over the first one.

If there is no mathematical relation between n and m, your program should print “No relation exists!”
e.g.
- If n = 20 and m = 6 then your function prints “No relation exists!”.

Read both integers from the user in the main and then call these two functions and print the result
accordingly.

Note: you may NOT use any built-in functions in this exercise.
