A.

Program Plan Intro

  • From the given two functions, the expressions are common program “idioms” for extracting values from a word in which multiple bit fields have been packed.
  • From the question, the two given function uses shift operations.
    • In “fun1”, the shifts are implemented on unsigned variable “word” and hence are “logical”.
      • In this function, first performs left shift operation and then performs logical right shift operation.
    • In “fun1”, the shifts are implemented after casting “word” to “int” and hence are “arithmetic”.
      • In this function, first performs left shift operation and then performs arithmetic right shift operation.

Shift operations in “C”:

In “C”, user can shifting bit patterns to the left and to the right using “shift” operations.

  • Here “x” is an operand which having bit representation [xw-1,xw-2,.......,x0], the “C” expression “x << k” produce a result with bit representation [xw-k-1,xw-k-2,.......,x0,0,.......,0]
  • The left shift operation is denoted by the symbol “<<”.
    • For example, “x << k” means “x” is shifted “k” bits to the left, reducing “k” most significant bits and filling the right end with “k” zeros.
  • The right shift operation is denoted by the symbol “>>”.
    • For example, “x >> k” means “x” is shifted “k” bits to the right
    • Generally machines provide two types of right shift.
      • Logical right shift:
        • In this operation, the left end is filled with “k” zeros and its result becomes [0,..........0,xw-1,xw-2,.......,x0].
      • Arithmetic right shift:
        • In this operation, the left end is filled with “k” repetitions of the most significant bit and its result become [xw-1,.......,xw-1,xw-1,xw-2,......xk].

Explanation of Solution

Useful computation for given two functions:

  • The function “fun1” extracts a value from the low-order 8 bits of the argument.
    • This function producing result an integer ranging between “0” and “255”...
