Homework 1, Count your Arguments.

Short Description:

Goals

• Demonstrated your ability to parse and use command line arguments.

Formal Description

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 , 7, 8, 9, 10

To make your program more functional, you should parse command line arguments and change behavior based on their values.

Argument	Parameter	Action
-f, --first	yes, an integer	Change place you start counting
-l, --last	yes, an integer	Change place you end counting
-s, --skip	optional, an integer, 1 if not specified	Change the amount you add to the counter each iteration
-h, ?	none	Print a help message including these instructions.
-j, --joke	none	Tell a number based joke.

So, if your program is called counter

counter -f 10 --last 4 --skip 2

10, 8, 6, 4

Please use the last supplied argument. If your code is called counter,

counter -f 4 -f 5 -f 6 

You should count from first to last inclusively.

You you may not display the last number if the skip value is something other than 1.

The skip value should always be greater than 0.

Notes

• You can use any number of sites on the internet to find a number based joke. What do you call numbers that won't stay in one place? Roamin' numerals.
• You can use any library you find helpful to perform this task. You can do it without a library as well if you wish.
• You may write this in c or c++. If you wish for extra credit, I will add 50% to your grade for a well written program in bash or python. No, we have not yet covered either of those, but it is extra credit. Total of 200% of the score.
