The document contains a C program that [1] prompts the user to enter a radius value for a circle, [2] checks that the radius is positive, [3] prompts the user to select the units for displaying the circumference and area from meters, centimeters, or millimeters, [4] checks that a valid unit is selected, and [5] calculates and displays the circumference and area results based on the provided radius and selected units. The program implements input validation, calculations for circumference and area of a circle, and output formatting based on user-selected units.

2. Explain what are these errors in a C program (3 marks each):


a. Syntax error.
b. Logical error.
[6 marks]
Ans:

a. Syntax error is an error caused by wrong syntax written in program

b. Logical error is an error caused by improper logic in code for any operation
Control and Repetition

3. Someone asked you to write a C Program to compute and display the


circumference and area of a circle given an inputted radius value of the circle. The
program must have the following behaviour.

The program should display on the screen a prompt for the radius in metres. The user
should enter this radius value at the keyboard, from which the program should read it.
The program should than check if the radius value is valid (i.e. positive values). If the
value is not valid, it shall continuously prompt the user until a valid value is entered.
The program should than ask for the units of the displayed results for the
circumference and area. The selectable units are metres (m and m2), centimetres (cm
and cm2) and millimetres (mm and mm2). The user should than enter one of this
selection at the keyboard, from which the program should read it. The program should
than check if the selection is valid. If it is not valid, it shall continuously prompt the
user until a valid selection is entered. The program should than proceed to compute
the circumference and area of the circle given the radius value and display the results
according to the selected unit.

Write the entire C program to implement this.
