tests outside). Write a version with only one test inside the loop and measure the difference in run-time.

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

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.

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.
