First learning shell scripting, we created a small script that given a folder with resumes and key words, we would count the key words in the respective resumes. For each word, they had a specific weight and each resume would be given a “score”.

Utilized external programs like ls, echo, awk, cat, grep, sort, wc, bc.

while read line; do
    IFS=":" # random delimeter to catch 2-worded hit words
    words+=($(awk '{$NF--; print}' <<< $line)) # hit words
    values+=($(awk '{print $NF}' <<< $line)) # weights of words
    unset IFS
done < input.txt

directory=`ls submissions`
for i in $directory; do # for resume in submissions folder
    total=0
    for j in ${!words[@]}; do # for hit word in word list
        touch=`grep -i -o "${words[$j]}" "./submissions/$i" | wc -l` # find word match from resume
        grade=${values[$j]}
        total=`echo "$total+($touch*$grade)" | bc`
    done
    total=`echo $total | awk '{printf("%g", $0)}'`
    echo $total $i #output
done | sort -g -r

To learn C syntax more, we implemented the card game Go Fish in C. In the game, players first draw 7 cards and both have their respective books. We created functions that would implement showing specific cards, what would be happening on each turn, and randomization on the computer player’s end for the user to play against.

Utilized structs, pointers, malloc/free.
