OBJECTIVES

 One way (Decision Structures and Boolean Logic)

 Two way and multiway (Decision Structures and Boolean Logic)
starting from if-statements

1. Write a program that reads two integers and prints out the maximum of them.

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int num1, num2. maximum;
scanf("%d%d", &num1, &num2);
if (num1 > num2)
maximum =num1;
else
maximum =num2;

printf("The maximum is: %d\n", maximum);

return 0;
}

2. Write a program that reads the temperature and prints “cool” if it is less than 15 and “hot”
otherwise.

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int temp;
scanf("%d", &temp);
if (temp < 15)
printf("cool!");
else
printf("hot!");
return 0;
}
3. Write a program that reads the two numbers x and y and prints the result of x/y. If y is 0, the program
must print “Can’t divide by zero!” and exit without dividing.

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int x, y;

printf("Enter two numbers: ");

scanf("%d%d", &x, &y);

if (y != 0)
printf("%d / %d = %d\n", x, y, x/y);
else
printf("Can't divide by zero!");

return 0;
}

// another correct solution proposed by a student:

//
// if (y == 0) {
// printf("Can't divide by zero!\n");
// return 0;
// }
//
// printf("%d / %d = %d\n", x, y, x/y);
4. Write a program that reads three integers and prints their maximum.

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
int num1, num2, num3;
scanf("%d%d%d", &num1, &num2, &num3);

// Method 1:
int max = num1;

if (num2 > max)

max = num2;

if (num3 > max)

max = num3;

printf("Max = %d", max);

// Method 2:
if (num1 >= num2 && num1 >= num3)
printf("Max = %d", num1);
else if (num2 >= num1 && num2 >= num3)
printf("Max = %d", num2);
else
printf("Max = %d", num3);

// There are also several other possible methods.

return 0;
}
5. Write a program that reads two integers and the operation to be performed. The operation should be
read as a character: +, -, * or /. The program must perform the operation and print the result.
- If the operation is division and the second integer is 0, the program must output “can’t divide by
zero” without dividing.
- If the user enters any character other than +, -, * and /, the program must print an error message
and exit the program.

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
int num1, num2;
char op;
scanf("%d %c%d", &num1, &op, &num2);

if (op == '+')
printf("%d + %d = %d\n", num1, num2, num1 + num2);
else if (op == '-')
printf("%d - %d = %d\n", num1, num2, num1 - num2);
else if (op == '*')
printf("%d * %d = %d\n", num1, num2, num1 * num2);
else if (op == '/') {
if (num2 == 0)
printf("Can't divide by 0!\n");
else
printf("%d / %d = %d\n", num1, num2, num1 / num2);
} else
printf("Invalid operation!");

// we can also check for the validity of the operation at the beginning
// like this:
//
// if (op != '+' && op != '-' && op != '*' && op != '/') {
// printf("Invalid operation");
// return 0;
// }

return 0;
}
6. Write an equivalent if-statement without the use of && or ||.

// 1.
if (a == 0 && b == 0)
printf("both are zero!")

// Equivalent statement:
if (a == 0)
if (b == 0)
printf("both are zero!");

// 2.
if (a == 0 || b == 0)
printf("at least one of them is zero!")

// Equivalent statement:
if (a == 0)
printf("at least one of them is zero!")
else if (b == 0)
printf("at least one of them is zero!")

// Another equivalent statement (poor style!):

if (!(a != 0 && b != 0))
printf("at least one of them is zero!")
7. Which of the following is logically correct?

(A) Because there are no “else if” statements, the program will print “A+ A B” if the input is 100!

(A) Because there are no “else if” statements, the program will print “A+ F” if the input is 100!

(C) This is correct!

(D) This is also correct, but has unnecessary checks.

Previous Exam question

Question 1

The vaccine of Covid-19 can be shipped in large or small containers. Larger containers can hold up to 100
vaccine bottles whereas small containers can hold up to 48 vaccine bottles.

Write a C code (or pseudocode) for a program that reads the number of the vaccine bottles to be shipped
then calculates and prints the minimum number of containers needed to ship them all

Note : the large container can only be used if filled 100%

for example: if you have 250 vaccine bottles then you need  2 Large containers and 2 Small containers

Question 2

What will the following pseudocode program display? ( 0.5 mark for each)

Module main()
Declare Integer x,y
Declare Real a,b,c
Set a = 2
Set b = 7-15/5
Set c = b*2/2*10/5 - 18.0/2
If(a==b) Then
Set x= 15%4;
Else
Set x=0;
End If
Set y=10*4/5/2-(1+2)*2;
Display c
Display x
Display y
If(b>3) Then
If (x>=3) Then
Display "Good Luck"
Else
Display " Best wishes "
End If
End If
End Module
 

Question 3

Consider the following flow chart. Write down equivalent code in C programing language using the instructions you
learned in this course.
Question-4
The table below shows the normal boiling points of three metals in °C. Draw a flowchart write pseudocode, and
c code that takes as an argument the observed boiling point of a metal in °C and identifies the metal if the
observed boiling point is within 5% of the expected boiling point. If the data input is more than 5% higher or
lower than any of the boiling points in the table, the module should output the message Substance unknown.

Metals Normal boiling point (°C)

Copper 1187
Silver 2193
Gold 2660
