CS 1723 Section 1T, Summer 1998 Assignment 2

Write a C function that implements the compare_bigint function described in lecture 1. Your C function should begin like this:

/* Your Name */
int compare_bigint (bigint A, bigint B) {

and should return:

A negative number if A < B,
A positive number if A > B, or
Zero, if A is equal to B.

Note that you are comparing two large integers represented as arrays of digits; if this looks way too easy, look again.

Your function should be fully commented. It should not take up more than 55 lines of standard type. It should fit on one sheet of paper. You should test out your code before turning it in to make sure it works. Turn in your single page printout (not handwritten!) at the beginning of class (CS 1723, 12:45pm) on Thursday, June 11, 1998.
