Answer / daniboy
A volatile variable is one whose VALUE CAN CHANGE
UNEXPECTEDLY. Consequently, the compiler can make NO
ASSUMPTIONS about the value of the variable. In
particular, the optimizer must be careful to RELOAD the
variable every time it is used instead of holding a copy in
a register.
Examples of volatile variables are:
(a) Hardware registers in peripherals (e.g., status
registers)
(b) Non-stack variables referenced within an interrupt
service routine.
(c) Variables shared by multiple tasks in a multi-
threaded application.

Write a program which has the following seven functions. The functions should be: • main() this calls the other 6 functions • fget_long() a function which returns a long data type from a file • fget_short() a function which returns a short integer variable from a file • fget_float() a function which returns a floating point variable from a file • fprt_long() a function which prints its single, long argument into a file • fprt_short() a function which prints its single, short argument into a file • fprt_float() a function which prints its single, floating point argument into a file. You should use fscanf() to get the values of the variables from the input (the file) and fprintf() to print the values to the other file. Pay attention to using the correct format for each of the data types.
