Modifying printf Statement in show_bytes(…) Function
How can we modify the printf statement in the show_bytes(…) function?
We need to update the printf statement in the show_bytes(…) function to first print the memory address of each byte and then the content of the byte itself on separate lines. How can we achieve this?
Answer:
To modify the printf statement in the show_bytes(…) function to print the memory address and content of each byte separately, we can use the following updated code:
The current show_bytes(…) function prints the content of each byte in hexadecimal format. We can modify it to print the memory address and content of each byte separately by using the printf statement within a loop. Below is the updated code snippet:
void show_bytes(byte_pointer start, size_t len) {
size_t i;
for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
printf("%p ", &start[i]);
printf("%.2x\n", start[i]);
}}
This modified code will first print the memory address of each byte followed by the content of the byte itself. By iterating through the bytes and printing their addresses and contents separately, we can achieve the desired output.
