EdgeCaseBerg / longestline.c

Created July 5, 2013 03:40

Code Listing 1.9 from The C Programming Language by Brian W. Kernighan, Dennis M. Ritchie. Modified slightly to not include the newline of a line in the character sequence modified by the ourgetline function.

	#include <stdio.h>
	#define MAXLINE 1000

	int ourgetline(char line[], int maxline);
	void copy(char to[], char from[]);

	main(){
	int len, max;
	char line[MAXLINE];
	char longest[MAXLINE];

EdgeCaseBerg / wordlengthhisto.c

Exercise 1-13 from The C Programming Language: by Brian W. Kernighan, Dennis M. Ritchie "Write a program to print a histogram of the lengths of words in its input. It is easy to draw the historgram with the bars horizontal; a vertical orientation is more challenging."

	#include <stdio.h>

	//In a word or not
	#define IN 1
	#define OUT 0
	#define MAXLENGTH 100
	// Write a program to print a histogram of the lengths of words in its input. It is easy to draw the historgram with the bars horizontal; a vertical orientation is more challenging.

	main(){
	//Maximum word length is 100, far more than neccesary

EdgeCaseBerg / onelineit.c

Created July 5, 2013 01:55

Simple program to take an input from the stdin and spit it to stdout on a single line without any duplicate whitespace. Not as efficient as it could be, but quick and dirty.

	#include <stdio.h>


	main(){
	int c;
	while((c = getchar()) != EOF){
	if(c == '\n'){
	putchar(' ');
	while((c = getchar()) == '\n')
	;

EdgeCaseBerg / TheCProgrammingLanguage_Exercise1_9.c

Last active August 8, 2026 18:31

Exercise 1-9 from The C Programming Language by Brian W. Kernighan, Dennis M. Ritchie "Write a program to copy its input to its output replacing each string of one or more blanks by a single blank"

	#include <stdio.h>

	main(){
	int c;
	while((c = getchar()) != EOF){
	putchar(c);
	if(c == ' '){
	while((c = getchar()) == ' ')
	;
	putchar(c);

EdgeCaseBerg / counter.c

Created July 5, 2013 00:11

Using the \b escape character in C for a simple counter

	#include <stdio.h>

	//Compile with: $cc counter.c
	//run with ./a.out

	main(){
	int i;
	for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i){
	//The \b is a lesser known escape character that moves the cursor back one. Allowing you to overwrite what you've previously written.
	printf("\b%i",i);

EdgeCaseBerg / SimpleLog.java

Created June 30, 2013 17:08

Simple singleton logging that creates logs directory wherever the process is run from. Just call SimpleLog.log( String message) ;


	import java.io.File;
	import java.io.FileWriter;
	import java.io.IOException;
	//Seriously why do I have to import 3 things so get the date. Java = superflous objects everywhere
	import java.text.DateFormat;
	import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
	import java.util.Calendar;

	public final class SimpleLog{
