3. [Bonus Problem] DNA Subsequence
A DNA sequence is a sequence of some combination of the characters A (adenine), C (cytosine), G (guanine), and T (thymine) which correspond to the four nucleobases
that make up DNA.
Given a long DNA sequence, it is often necessary to compute the number of instances of a certain subsequence.
For this exercise, you will develop a program that processes a DNA sequence from a file and, given a subsequences, searches the DNA sequence and counts the number of times s appears.
As an example, consider the following sequence: GGAAGTAGCAGGCCGCATGCTTGGAGGTAAAGTTCATGGTTCCCTGGCCC If we were to search for the subsequence GTA, it appears twice.
You will write a program (place your source in a file named dnaSearch.c) that takes, as command line inputs, an input file name and a valid DNA (sub)sequence. That is, it should be callable from the command line as follows:
./dnaSearch dna01.txt GTA
Sample out put: GTA appears 2 times
