Write a program to check a C program for rudimentary syntax errors like unmatched parentheses, brackets and braces. Dont forget about quotes, both single and double, escape sequences, and comments. (This program is hard if you do it in full generality.)

our teacher says we have reusable code so here is what is given fyi he says to edit the main only 1.24.c

//1.24.c

#include "files.h" #include #include #include

#define TAB_INTERVAL 10 #define MAX_TAB_INTERVAL 80

int main(int argc, const char *argv[]) { FILE *fin; FILE *fout;

// set tab_interval or use default int tab_interval = argc == 4 ? atoi(argv[3]) : TAB_INTERVAL; if (tab_interval > 80) { fprintf(stderr, "tabstops must be <= 80 characters "); exit(2); }

// open input and output files if (!open_io_files( argc, argv, &fin, &fout, 3, 4, "Usage: ./detab inputfile outputfile tab_interval (optional) ")) { exit(1); }

// process input file to remove tabs and substitute spaces int c; char maxspaces[MAX_TAB_INTERVAL + 1]; char spaces[MAX_TAB_INTERVAL + 1]; memset(maxspaces, ' ', sizeof(maxspaces));

int bytes_written = 0; while ((c = fgetc(fin)) != EOF) { if (c != '\t') { fputc(c, fout); ++bytes_written; } else { int bytes_to_tab = tab_interval - (bytes_written % tab_interval); strncpy(spaces, maxspaces, bytes_to_tab); spaces[bytes_to_tab] = '\0'; fputs(spaces, fout); bytes_written += strlen(spaces); } } closefiles(2, fin, fout); // must say number of files

return 0; } //files.h
