#include #include #include /* The C Programming Language: 2nd Edition * * Exercise 7-1: Write a program that converts upper case to lower or lower * case to upper, depending on the name it is invoked with, as found in * `argv[0]`. * * Notes: This one is, strangely, very easy. The primary gotcha is in the * argv[0] check. The simplest solution I came up with was to check argv[0] * for *both* upper and lower. If for some reason they're both in the path, * the one that occurred later in the string takes precedence, since it's * most likely to be the name of the executable itself rather than the * directory containing the binary. * * Edge cases, gotta love'em. */ int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { char c; int lpos, upos; char *plow, *pupp; while ((c = getchar()) != EOF) { plow = strstr(argv[0], "lower"); pupp = strstr(argv[0], "upper"); if (plow != NULL) { lpos = (int) (plow - argv[0]); } else { lpos = -1; } if (pupp != NULL) { upos = (int) (pupp - argv[0]); } else { upos = -1; } if (isalpha(c)) { /* These two are only equal when neither are found in argv[0]. * The odds of this happening are slim, but still possible. */ if (lpos > upos) { c = tolower(c); } if (upos > lpos) { c = toupper(c); } } putchar(c); } return 0; }
