 6. Write a program that reads an octal integer and prints out its 
    value in decimal.

 7. Write a program that reads in two floats and prints out their
    ratio, to two decimal places.

 8. Write a program that reads in two integers and prints out their
    ratio, to four decimal places.

 9. Type in the following program, compile it, and use it to
    compute the average of a few sequences of five integers.

          #include <stdio.h>
          main()
            {
              int i, sum, num;
              sum = 0;
              for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
                {
                  scanf("%d", &num);
                  sum += num;
                }
              printf("%6.2f\n", sum/5.0);
            }

	      ANSWERS TO NUMBER REPRESENTATION EXERCISES


 1. First convert to binary: 7654 = 111 110 101 100 = 1111 1010 1100 = FAC

 2. 7*8^3 + 6*8^2 + 5*8 + 4 = 7*512 + 6*64 + 40 + 4 = 4012

 3. 7654 decimal is 16746 octal
    8^4 = 4096  7654 - 1*4096 = 3558
    8^3 =  512  3558 - 6*512  =  486
    8^2 =   64   486 - 7*64   =   38
    8^1 =    8    38 - 4*8    =    6
    8^0 =    1     6 - 6*1    =    0

 4. Shortcut: convert the octal from exercise 3 to binary (see exercise 1).

 5.
          #include <stdio.h>
          main()
            {
              int n;
              scanf("%d", &n);
              printf("%o\n", n);
            }

 6.
          #include <stdio.h>
          main()
            {
              int n;
              scanf("%o", &n);
              printf("%d\n", n);
            }

 7.
          #include <stdio.h>
          main()
            {
              float x, y;
              scanf("%f %f", &x, &y);
              printf("%6.2f\n", x/y);
            }

 8.
          #include <stdio.h>
          main()
            {
              int x, y;
              scanf("%d %d", &x, &y);
              printf("%8.4f\n", x/(float) y);
            }

    Note: "(float) x/y" doesn't work because the integer division
    happens before the float cast.
