b. (10 points) In this part you will flesh out the definition of a C function zeroOutByte whose specification is given in the comment above the code skeleton below. the Bits • This is like one of the functions from your Bits assignment. However, unlike assignment, in this problem you must *not* use any C implementation to test your work. • You must follow all of the rules from the bits assignment in your code - i.e., no literal constants larger than one byte are allowed; no use of the Ob notation; no helper functions; no use of control constructs such as if, do, while, for, switch; no use of any operators other than the ones explicitly listed as legal in the function description; etc. • Strive to make the definition of your function as clear as possible. It's a good idea to de- compose your function by introducing well-named local variables, each of which does some small amount of work. Use comments to explain aspects that are nonobvious. /* * zeroOutByte: between 0 (LSB) and 3 (MSB), inclusive. * Assume n is byte number * zeroOutByte (x, n) returns an integer that is a version of x * in which the the nth byte has been replaced by 0x00. * *For example: zeroOutByte (0x12345678, 0) should return Ox12345600 zeroOutByte (0x12345678, 1) should return Ox12340078 zeroOutByte (0x12345678, 2) should return 0x12005678 zeroOutByte (0x12345678, 3) should return 0x00345678 * * * * EX * ak */ Legal ops: ! ~ & ˆ | + << >> Max ops: no limit int zeroOutByte (int x, int n) { b.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

The goal of the zeroOutByte function is to replace a specific byte in an integer x with 0x00 The byte to be replaced is determined by the input parame... View the full answer
