APSC 160 Midterm #1 Review Session


1. Explain in plain English, the function of this code.
/* Assume that VAL is defined to be some positive integer,
but you dont know what it is. */
int main (void)
{
int x=2;
int y=1;
while (x <= VAL)
{
y *= x;
x = x + 2;
}
printf(The mystery value is %d\n, y);
}
Answer: The code prints out the cumulative product of even numbers up to VAL,
inclusively.

2. Explain in plain English what this code does.


int main
{
int
int
int

(void)
x = 1;
y,v;
z = 1;

scanf(%d, &x);
scanf(%d, &y);
if (y == 0)
{ x = 1; }
v = x;

while (z < y)
{
x*=v;
z++;
}
printf(The mystery value is %d, x);
}
Answer: The code prints out xy, where x is the base and y is the exponent.

3. Consider this code fragment. How many times does the printf statement get
executed?
int count = 5;
while (count > 0 && count <= 5)
{
count--;
if (count / 2 > 1)
printf(Printing\n);
else
count--;
}
Answer: 1 time

4. Rewrite the following using an appropriate combination of loops.


int main(void)
{
int count = 5;
++count;
count += 1;
if (count == 7)
count++;
if (count == 8) {
count++;
printf(Hello);
}

else if (count == 9)
{
printf(Hello);
count++;
}
}
Answer: Using a while loop,
int main (void)
{
int count = 5;
while (count <= 8)
{
if (count == 8)
printf(Hello);
count++;
}
}
5. Create this image by using while loop and a do-while loop.

Answer:
Using a while loop

Using a do-while loop

int main(void)
{
int i = 1, j = 0;

int main(void)
{
int i = 1, j = 0;

while (i<=3) {
j = 0;
while ( j<i)
{
printf("1");
j++;
}
printf("\n");
i++;
}

do {
j=0;
do {
printf("1");
j++;
} while ( j<i);
printf("\n");
i++;
} while (i <= 3);

6. Write a small routine that prints the sum of a list of integer values separated by a
space from a text file, data.txt. Also, include a flowchart for this routine.
Answer:
FILE * inFile;
inFile = fopen(data.txt, r);
int sum=0;
if (inFile != NULL)
{
while(fscanf(%d, &x)==1)
sum += x;
printf(Sum=%d \n, sum);
}
else
printf(File is not found!\n);
fclose(inFile);

7. What is the output?


int main( void )
{
double x = 2.0;
int y = 5;
int c;
c= y/x;
printf("%.3f \n",c);

system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

Answer: 2.000

8. Convert 4810 to binary. Convert 101112 to decimal.


Answer:
48 -> 110000
10111 -> 23
9. Convert 3010 to Hexadecimal. Convert 2A16 to decimal
Answer:
30 -> 1E
2A -> 42
10. Write a program that produces a triangle of even numbers.
Input: 3
Output:
0
0 2
0 2 4
Answer:
int main (void)
{
int count1=0, count2=-1;
int rows;
printf("Input: ");
scanf("%d", &rows);
while (count1 < rows)
{
count2=-1;
while(count2 < count1)
{
printf("%d ", 2*(count2 + 1));
count2++;
}
printf("\n");
count1++;
}
}

APSC 160 Midterm #1 Review Session Pre-Quiz


Pre-quiz (15 min)
1. Write a program that prints out an inverted triangle when reading an input.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main (void)
{
int count1, count2, x;
printf(Input: );
scanf(%d, &x);
count1 = x;
while (count1 > 0)
{
count2 = count1;
while (count2 > 0)
{
printf(*);
count2--;
}
count1--;
}
}
2. Write a program that prints the factorial of a constant VAL.
int main (void)
{
int result = 1;
int count = 1;
while(count <= VAL)
{
result*=count;
count++;
}
printf(%d, result);
}

APSC 160 Midterm #1 Review Session Post-Quiz


Post-quiz (15 min)
1. Write a program that prints out the following when given an input VAL.
int main (void) {
int count1=1, count2=0, count3=-1;
while(count1 <= VAL)
{
count2=0;
while(count2 < count1)
{
count3=-1;
while(count3 < count2)
{
printf("*");
count3++;
}
count2++;
printf("\n");
}
printf("\n");
count1++;
}
}
2. Write a program that reads in the radius of a circle, and computes its
circumference and area.
#define PI 3.14159
int main (void)
{
double radius, circumference, area;
scanf(%lf, &radius);
circumference = 2 * PI * radius;
printf(Circumference=%.2f, circumference);
area = PI * radius * radius;
printf(Area=%.2f, area);
}
