Implementation of Map Function(s) in C

[oduvall]

Since C does not (at least easily) allow a way to pass arguments of an arbitrary type to a function, I decided that the simplest course of action was to split the map function into three separate map functions, each corresponding to a different type. Each function is identical in implementation, and only differs in the type of data it is able to manipulate. Each map function takes a function, applies it to each element of an array of input data, and then stores the results in an output array that is big enough to hold each result. A unit test for these functions is also included. This unit test maps some basic functions to some randomly generated data held in arrays of varying sizes, and compares the results with the correct outcome to ensure that each value was computed correctly.
