Neither could I. This one's on sloaris, and I apologize for my mediocre coding
style. It's still much more readable than that perl mess ever hoped to be, but
probably took me longer. :)
#include <stdio.h>
int fd;
FILE *fi;
char buf[20];
int len;
int counter;
int sum;
int main(void)
{
fi = fopen("/usr/dict/words", "r"); /* open the words file */
fgets(buf, 20, fi); /* okay, so I coulda tossed these in the */
len = strlen(buf); /* loop. Sue me. */
while (!feof(fi))
{
sum = 0;
for(counter = 0; counter < (len-1); counter++)
{
sum = sum + buf[counter] - (int)'a' + 1; /* I like this trick*/
} /* len -1 to skip */
if (sum == 100) /* the cr */
{
printf("100 score for: %s", buf); /* but it's still */
} /* there, so no \n. */
fgets(buf, 20, fi);
len = strlen(buf);
}
fclose(fi);
}
It finds 220 such words out of the 25,000 in the Sloaris /usr/dict/words,
none of which start with k, x, or z.
