INSTRUCTIONS TO STUDENTS1. Students should be regular and come prepared for the lab practice.2. In case a student misses a class, it is his/her responsibility to complete that missed experiment(s).3. Students should bring the observation book, lab journal and lab manual. Prescribed textbook and class notes can be kept ready for reference if required.4.They should implement the given experiment individually.5. While conducting the experiments students should see that their programs would meet the following criteria:•Programs should be interactive with appropriate prompt messages, error messages if any, and descriptive messages for outputs.•Programs should perform input validation (Data type, range error, etc.) and give appropriate error messages and suggest corrective actions.•Comments should be used to give the statement of the problem and every function should indicate the purpose of the function, inputs and outputs•Statements within the program should be properly indented•Use meaningful names for variables and functions.•Make use of Constants and type definitions wherever needed.6. Once the experiment(s) get executed, they should show the program and results to the instructors and copy the same in their observation book.7.Questions for lab tests and exam need not necessarily be limited to the questions in the manual, but could involve some variations and / or combinations of the questions.Guidelines for Instructors:1 . S tuden t s s hou ld be i n fo rmed i n t he beg i nn ing i t s e l f t ha t ques t i ons i n t he practical examination will not necessarily be limited to the questions from the manual, but could involve some variations and/or combinations of the questions mentioned in the manual.2 . A g r o u p o f q u e s t i o n s o f s i m i l a r c o m p l e x i t y a r e g r o u p e d f o r a l a b . T h e instructor can choose any arbitrary set of 3 to 5 questions from the manual for that week so as to avoid students copying from previous batches and also enables the instructor to assess the student.3. The phrase ‘Numbers’ can be assumed to be Bytes or Words suitably.

Some Basic DOS Commands

Disk drives Default drive

C refers to the hard disk (if one is installed)

Changing the default drive To obtain a listing of the files on the default drive (a directory), give the command: A>dir

To a listing of the files on another drive, type: A>dir a:

Directories

To obtain a listing of the files on the default drive (a directory), give the command: A>dir

To a listing of the files on another drive, type: A>dir a: Specifying a filename Most DOS commands require you to specify one or more filenames. Valid filenames are composed of up

to eight characters and are optionally followed by an extension of up to three characters. The filename and extension are separated by a period. Some examples of DOS filenames are:

sst.exe demo.cmd junk

Extensions can be used to remind you what the file contains. SST uses the extension `.cmd' for files of SST commands and the extension `.sav' for SST system files

LAB-2

Copying files Frequently you will want to make a copy of a file. To copy a file (named oldfile) to a new file named

newfile, enter: A>copy oldfile newfile

The file newfile will have exactly the same contents as the file oldfile. As always, DOS assumes oldfile is on the default drive and also places newfile on the default drive. The syntax of DOS commands when two filenames are required is usually "from to", i.e. the first filename is the source (or "from") file and the second is the destination (or "to") file.

To copy a file from one disk to another, it is only necessary to precede the filename by a drive designation. If you are copying files between disks, then the copy can have the same filename as the original. In fact, if you do not supply a filename for the destination, DOS assumes that you want to use the same filename as the source. For example, if B is the default drive, the following command makes a copy of the file oldfile from the A disk on the B disk with the same name:

B>copy a:oldfile

On the other hand, if oldfile is on B (the default drive) and you would like a copy on the A disk, type:

A>copy oldfile a:

Abbreviating filenames in DOS DOS allows you to use a simple scheme of wild cards to refer to multiple filenames without having to

type out the entire list of filenames that you want. There are two wild cards, the question mark and the asterisk. A question mark matches any character while an asterisk matches any string of characters. For example, `s?t' matches `sat', `sst', and `st'. Similarly, `s*t' would match each of the previous names as well as `short', `s123.45t'. The abbreviation `*.sav' would match any filename with the extension `.sav' (i.e., any SST system file), while `*' (or, equivalently, `*.*') would match any filename.

To obtain a listing of all the files on the A drive with the extension `.sav', type: B>dir a:*.cmd

To copy all files from A to B, you could use the command: C>copy a:*.* b:

SST uses a similar scheme of wild cards to abbreviate variable names.

Listing the contents of a file on the monitor To display the contents of a text file on the monitor, you can use the DOS type command which has the

following syntax: A>type filename

As always, if the filename is not preceded by a drive specification, DOS assumes the file is on the default drive. To type a file on the A drive, use instead:

B>type a:filename

Not all files in DOS are textfiles. Files with the extension `.exe' or `.com' are executable programs stored in a binary format which cannot be typed.

To stop scrolling output on the screen

If you attempt to type a large file, it is apt to scroll down the screen faster than you are able to read it. To stop scrolling, press the <Ctrl> and the <Scroll Lock> keys simultaneously. To restart output, press the <Ctrl> and <Scroll Lock> keys again.

To print what is on the screen

If you have a printer connected to your computer and you would like a "hard" copy of what is currently on the screen, depress the <shift arrow> and <PrtSc> keys simultaneously, and DOS will send a copy of what is on the screen to your printer. If you want to obtain a printed copy of the rest of your computer session, depress the <Ctrl> and <PrtSc> keys simultaneously. Further output will be sent to the printer as it appears on the screen. To stop printing depress these keys again.

Subdirectories DOS allows you to organize disks into subdirectories--groupings of files in a tree structure. For most

purposes a subdirectory on a disk is used as if it were a separate disk.

To create a subdirectory named sst, type: C>mkdir sst

The subdirectory sst now exists. There are two ways to access files in the subdirectory. First, you can make the subdirectory the default directory in the same way that you make a disk drive the default drive. This is done by changing directories:

C>cd sst

You are now located within the sst subdirectory. To obtain a listing of files in the sst subdirectory, give the command:

C>dir

Unless you specify otherwise, DOS assumes that you only want a listing of files in the default subdirectory--which is whatever subdirectory you happen to be located in at the time you issue a command. To return to the main (or root) directory, give the command:

C>cd \

The backslash (`\') is DOS's symbol for the top directory. The other way to access files in a subdirectory is to provide DOS with a path telling it how to

find the file you are interested in. If you are in the root directory and you would like to see the contents of a file in the sst subdirectory, try:

C>type sst\filename

Thus, it is not necessary to change directories to access a file in another directory.

DOS allows you to create subdirectories in subdirectories so directory structures can become rather complicated. We do not recommend this practice if you are a newcomer to DOS. For the purposes of this manual we will assume that you do not have subdirectories to subdirectories.

Specifying pathnames can become rather tedious and DOS provides a facility for specifying which directories are to be searched for programs with the path command. If you type:

C>path \;\sst

DOS will search the root directory (\) and the sst subdirectory (\sst) when it looks for programs to execute. With the above path command, it is possible to execute sst, for example, without being located in the sst subdirectory.
