Homework 5

For this assignment, you will create a Makefile to process a set of text files efficiently. The files can be found in homework-05.zip. Extract them to a directory and create a Makefile that transforms them in some way. You should have two “phony” targets:

1. all - the default target, should kick off your transformation
2. clean - should delete the files created by your transformation

Presumably, you will have one or more additional targets to actually transform the files.

I don’t care how you transform the files, be creative! Maybe turn them into HTML, or count how many words are in each, or convert their contents to all upper-case.

You should explain what your transformation does in a comment at the top of the Makefile.

Once you’re finished, create a zip file that contains the input files along with your Makefile (do not include the output files, run your clean target before zipping). Submit the zip archive through Moodle.

The due date for this assignment is on Moodle.
