Experiment No: 08
Name of the Experiment: Understanding programming using string and
pointers
Objective(s):
To understand programming with Pointer, String and Function call by reference.
Learning outcome(s):

Students will learn about basic string operations. They will be able to use pointers to manipulate the
elements of an array or string.

Problems:
Problem 1:

//Write a program to find biggest among three numbers using pointer.

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

int num1, num2, num3;

int *p1, *p2, *p3;

//taking input from user

printf("Enter First Number: ");

scanf("%d",&num1);

printf("Enter Second Number: ");

scanf("%d",&num2);

printf("Enter Third Number: ");

scanf("%d",&num3);

//assigning the address of input numbers to pointers

p1 = &num1;

p2 = &num2;
 ID: 3
Name:

p3 = &num3;

if(*p1 > *p2){

if(*p1 > *p3){

printf("\n%d is the largest number\n", *p1);

else{

printf("\n%d is the largest number\n", *p3);

else{

if(*p2 > *p3){

printf("\n%d is the largest number\n", *p2);

else{

printf("\n%d is the largest number\n", *p3);

return 0;

Problem 2:

// Write a program to find the sum of all the elements of an array using pointers.

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

int arr[100],size,sum=0;

printf("Enter size of the array: ");

scanf("%d",&size);

printf("Enter the elements of the array: ");

for(int i=0; i<size; i++)

scanf("%d",&arr[i]);

//calculating sum of entered array elements

for(int i=0; i<size; i++)

sum+=arr[i];

printf("Sum of array elements is: %d \n",sum);

return 0;

Problem 3:

/*Write a program to swap value of two variables using pointer*/

#include <stdio.h>

// function to swap the two numbers

void swap(int *x,int *y)

int t;

t = *x;

*x = *y;

*y = t;

int main()

int num1,num2;
 ID: 6
Name:

printf("Enter value of num1: ");

scanf("%d",&num1);

printf("Enter value of num2: ");

scanf("%d",&num2);

//displaying numbers before swapping

printf("Before Swapping: num1 is: %d, num2 is: %d\n",num1,num2);

//calling the user defined function swap()

swap(&num1,&num2);

//displaying numbers after swapping

printf("After Swapping: num1 is: %d, num2 is: %d\n",num1,num2);

sentence.*/
