Detailed Description

This is a driver program to test the functions defined in numConv.h and implemented in numConv.c. The program takes three command line parameters and calls one of the methods, then prints the results. To see how to use the program, execute ./testConv in a terminal window. This will print a usage statement defining how to run the program. The 1st parameter of the program is always a key defining which function to run. The options are:

• i2c convert a number to a character digit
• c2i convert a character digit to its ordinal value
• dnr test the divRem() function
• s2i convert a string of characters to a number
• i2s print the digit(s) of a number specified by a string
• s2d convert a string of characters (possibly containing '.') to a double

The 2nd parameter is always the radix you work in (2..36). The 3rd parameter will be either a number (base 10) when you are converting an number to a character/characters. It will be one/multiple characters when converting to a number.

A sample execution might be: testConv c2i 16 A

All numbers are be entered as unsigned integers

Entry point of the program

Parameters

argc	count of arguments, will always be at least 1
argv	array of parameters to program argv[0] is the name of the program, so additional parameters will begin at index 1.

Returns

0 the Linux convention for success.
