 * 1 || 58 || Our binary search makes two tests inside the loop, when one would suffice (at the price of more tests outside). Write a version with only one test inside the loop and measure the difference in run-time. || [| Listing krx301] || Paul Griffiths, Colin Barker, Andrew Tesker ||
 * 2 || 60 || Write a function escape(s,t) that converts characters like newline and tab into visible escape sequences like \n and \t as it copies the string t to s . Use a switch . Write a function for the other direction as well, converting escape sequences into the real characters. || [| Listing krx302] || Paul Griffiths ||
 * 3 || 63 || Write a function expand(s1,s2) that expands shorthand notations like a-z in the string s1 into the equivalent complete list abc...xyz in s2 . Allow for letters of either case and digits, and be prepared to handle cases like a-b-c and a-z0-9 and -a-z . Arrange that a leading or trailing - is taken literally. || [| Listing krx303] || Paul Griffiths ||
 * 4 || 64 || In a two's complement number representation, our version of itoa does not handle the largest negative number, that is, the value of n equal to -(2 to the power (wordsize - 1)) . Explain why not. Modify it to print that value correctly regardless of the machine on which it runs. || [| Listing krx304] || Paul Griffiths ||
 * 5 || 64 || Write the function itob(n,s,b) that converts the integer n into a base b character representation in the string s . In particular, itob(n,s,16) formats n as a hexadecimal integer in s . || [| Listing krx305] || Paul Griffiths ||
 * 6 || 64 || Write a version of itoa that accepts three arguments instead of two. The third argument is a minimum field width; the converted number must be padded with blanks on the left if necessary to make it wide enough. ||
