Computer Science Solution of Model Question
Paper
(Curriculum 2009)
Q.2 Attempt any NINE parts from the following. All parts carry equal marks. (9 3 = 27)
i. What is an algorithm and what is the role of algorithm in problem solving?
Answer:
Algorithm means method, procedure, technique or plan. Algorithm is a step-by-
step problem-solving method that is easy to understand and follow. It is a set of
steps that clearly defines a sequence of operations to solve a problem.
ROLE OF ALGORITHM IN PROBLEM SOLVING
Algorithm plays an important role in computer programming. Computer
programming is the process of taking an algorithm and coding it in a programming
language. Formulating an algorithm is the first step for developing a computer
program.
ii. Point out valid and invalid variable names.
Answer:
a. define Invalid b. 5name Invalid
c. a5 Valid d. US$ Invalid
e. a_b Valid f. f name Invalid
iii. Write two advantages and one disadvantage of compiler.
Answer:
Advantage:
A compiler is a computer software that translates entireC language program (source
program) into machine code (object program) that can be understood and executed
by the computer
It also detects syntax errors in the source program and gives hints to the
programmer to correct them.
Disadvantage:
It occupies extra memory since it needs to generate a new file.
iv. Evaluate each of the following expression assuming, a is 2, z is 1.3, c is 1 and d is 3:
a. b = d/a + d % a
b = 3/2 + 3 % 2
b=1+3%2
b=1+1
b=2
b. x = (a + c)/(z + 0.3)
x = (2 + 1)/( 1.3+ 0.3)
x = (3)/(1.3+ 0.3)
x = 3/1.6
x =1.875
c. y=c/d*a
y=1/3*2
y=0*2
y=0
v. Write down the name and purpose of any three format specifiers.
Answer:
NAMES OF FORMAT SPECIFIERS:
%d decimal integer
%f floating-point (decimal notation)
%c single character
Integer Format Specifiers (%d)
The format specifier %d is used to read or print a decimal integer.
Floating-point Format Specifiers (%f)
The format specifier %f is used to read and print floating-point numbers in decimal
notation with a precision of 6 digits after the decimal point.
The Character Format Specifier (%c)
The character format specifier, %c, is used to read or print a single character.
vi. Define the following.
Answer:
i. Control Statement
Control Statements in C are used to execute/transfer the control from one part
of the program to another depending on a condition. These statements are also
called as conditional statements.
ii. Conditional Statement
Conditional Statements in C programming are used to make decisions based on the
conditions. Conditional statements execute sequentially when there is no condition
around the statements. It is also called as branching as a program decides which
statement to execute based on the result of the evaluated condition.
vii. What is the conditional operator? Give an example.
Answer:
The conditional operator is also known as a ternary operator. The conditional
statements are the decision-making statements which depend upon the output of the
expression. It is represented by two symbols, i.e. '?' and ‘:’. Conditional operators
return one value if condition is true and returns another value is condition is false.
Syntax: (Condition? expression1: expression2);
Example: J= (A > 100)? C*D: C+D;
In above example, if A is greater than 100, then product of C and D will be assigned
to J otherwise sum of Cand D will be assigned. This is equal to if else conditional
statements.
viii. Write a program using while loop to print odd numbers from 1 to 20.
Answer:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
{
int n;
n=1;
while(n<=20)
{
printf("%d\n",n);
n=n+2;
}
getch();
return 0;
}
ix. What will be the output of the following code?
void main( ) { int u, i;
for (u = 1; u< = 5; u++)
{ for (i = 1; i< = u; i++)
{printf(“%d \t”, i);}
printf(“\n”);
} }
OUTPUT:
1
1 2
1 2 3
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 5
x. Construct Truth Table for the following Boolean Expression:
F = x yz + x yz + x y
Answer:
X Y Z =y = +yyz
zx+ +
yzyx+yx y
=x
FF +zxx
Fxzy +xx
yz F = x yz + x yz + x y
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 1 1 0 0 1
0 1 0 0 0 0 0
0 1 1 0 1 0 1
1 0 0 0 0 1 1
1 0 1 0 0 1 1
1 1 0 0 0 0 0
1 1 1 0 0 0 0
xi. Convert the following code into for loop:
int sum = 0, num= 0;
do {
sum = sum + num;
printf (“Enter an integer value”);
scanf(“%d”, &num); }
while (num> = 0 &&num< = 15);
Answer:
int sum = 0, num= 0;
for(int num=0;num>=0 &&num<=15;)
{
sum=sum+num;
printf(“Enter an integer value”);
scanf(“%d”, &num);
}
xii. Write down benefits of web portal. Give one example.
Answer:
Web portal is a website that offers a large variety of services these include online
shopping malls, news stock prices, email search engines, etc. Web portals function
as a point of access to information on the web.
For example, A school web portal delivers information about the school’s historical
background, admission requirement, School curriculum, tuition fees structure,
School news, student results in a unified way.
xiii. Use appropriate text formatting tags to define the following. Write example of each.
Answer:
a. font size
In HTML, <fontsize=?></font> these tags are used to change the font size.
Replace ? symbol with the number in the range 1 to 7. One is the smallest and
seven is the largest font size.
For Example <fontsize=3>Information Technology</font>
ȳ ȳ y Y
0 1 1 0
+ x yz + x y z + xyz + x yz
x 1 1 1 1
F=x+z
Logic Circuit:
Q.5 i. Rewrite the following code after removing the errors: (4)
# include <std.h>
# include <conio.h>
void main ( );
{
int p, s;
printf(“\n Enter a number:);
scanf(“%d”, p);
s=p%2;
if(s=0)
printf(“even number%d”, p)
els
printf(“odd number%d”, p);
getch( );
Solution:
# include <stdio.h>
# include <conio.h>
void main ( )
{
int p, s;
printf(“\n Enter a number:);
scanf(“%d”, &p);
s=p%2;
if(s==0)
printf(“even number%d”, p);
else
printf(“odd number%d”, p);
getch( );
}
ii. Convert the following program using switch statement: (4)
void main( )
{ char ch; clrscr( );
printf(“Enter a single character”);
scanf(“%c”, &ch);
if ( ch = = ‘a’ || ch = = ‘A’ ||
ch = = ‘e’ || ch = = ‘E’ ||
ch = = ‘i’ || ch = = ‘I’ ||
ch = = ‘o’ || ch = = ‘O’ ||
ch = = ‘u’ || ch = = ‘U’)
printf(“It is a vowel”);
else printf(“It is a consonant”); }
Solution:
void main( )
{ char ch;
clrscr( );
printf(“Enter a single character”);
scanf(“%c”, &ch);
switch(ch)
{
case ‘a’:
case ‘e’:
case ‘i’:
case ‘o’:
case ‘u’:
case ‘A’:
case ‘E’:
case ‘I’:
case ‘O’:
case ‘U’:
printf(“It is a vowel”);
break;
default:
printf(“It is a consonant”);
}
}
