+For Assignment 1, you are going to complete the following learning activities taken from your textbook.
+Use the script command to save the terminal session wherever necessary. Saving the terminal starts with the script filename command and ends with exit.
+
+Combine all required problems in this set in one file, name it 1COMP325_1_YYMM`
+(replacing ‘YYMM’ with the current year and month, e.g., 1309),
+and upload it here to submit it to your tutor for marking and feedback.
+
+Be sure to complete the final step—click on the Send for Marking button to notify your tutor.
+Solve problems 7–11 and 15–17 at the end of Chapter 7.
+Solve problems 7–17 at the end of Chapter 8.
+Do problem 9 (What do the following commands do?) in Chapter 9.
+Enter a C program that reads a temperature in Celsius entered from a keyboard and displays the corresponding temperature in Fahrenheit and complete the steps below. (Hint: Look for such a program in the textbook or online.)
+Compile this program using the cc compiler, or any other compiler.  Fix any errors, and recompile.
+Your program must have declaration statements, such as float c, f; . Delete the semicolon from the end of the statement.  Recompile and report the kind of error.  The C compiler often provides cryptic error messages. Interpret this message.
+Change the float c, f; statement to (float c; char f;). Do you get any errors during compilation? What are they and why? Do you see any difference between running this program and the earlier version? Why?
+If your program uses a cout statement, then replace it with a printf  statement that does the same thing and vice versa. If you have used neither  cout nor printf in the first version, then replace what you have with printf.
+Explain how you can schedule the executable program to run at 1:00 a.m. and to take the input from a file, rather than the keyboard, without any changes to the source program.
+Explain how you can find the time it took the computer to execute your program.
+Explain how the output of your program can be automatically emailed to your friend upon completion.
