2010 Homework No. 3 - findsuss

Name: Anonymous 2010-01-15 22:56

Write a program in the language of your choice that takes a string and inputs "SUSSMAN" for every time those characters appear. In case I'm not being clear, that means output "SUSSMAN" for every 3 's's and 1 'u', 'm', 'a', and 'n' in the string. Inputting "ssssumanssssssssssuman", for example, would print "SUSSMAN" twice. "ssuman", however, would print nothing.

I've written an inelegant solution in C, which I'll post in a second. It tends to crash after execution, however, and I cannot for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong. It does everything it's supposed to but refuses to terminate politely. Even stranger, it only happens when there is enough characters for two or more sussmen. I guess the problem is in the susscount loop, but I can't figure out where. Mind giving me a hand, /prog/?

I wasn't trying to write anything impressive. My goal here is to:
A) Illustrate a problem to be solved
and
B) Provide a (somewhat, in this case) working solution to the problem to prove that it can be solved

The quicker I can write a solution to the problem, the more time people have to write their own solutions, which is all that I really care about - seeing /prog/'s code. My implementation may have been ugly, but I was able to pump it out in 20 minutes, so I'm happy.
