CS3844-Homework 1 Binary / Octal / Decimal / Unsigned / Hex Solved

Write a C program that takes one or more numbers on the command line. Rules:

·         If no numbers are given, print a usage message and quit.

·         Do NOT use sscanf or similar. Process each argument one digit at a time.

·         For each number given on the command line, check to see if it is a valid binary, octal, decimal and hex number. For hex numbers, allow both lowercase a-f and uppercase A-F.

·         If there are any invalid characters in the argument, ignore it. E.g., a 2 is not valid for binary.

·         You must also account for a leading minus sign. Additional error checking is not necessary (overflow for example).

Example usage: ./hw1 0 123 abcd -45 error -1 -4D

The columns must line up exactly as shown, but the number of spaces between columns doesn't matter.

Hint: in C, printf with %-10s will left justify a string in 10 characters, %10s will right justify
