9. Brief Syllabus:

This course introduces the intrinsic concepts of programming language that helps the students to mutate from one
language to another in future. It provides the sagacity of procedural programming approach applied in C
programming language. It fully covers fundamental programming techniques with the most common library
functions and the usage of the preprocessor. Through this course, students will be able to fathom all the pivotal
concepts, syntax and semantics of C language as well as data types offered by the language They will be able to
write the code of a program by developing logic with progression to writing pseudo codes, designing flowcharts and
finally developing management projects.

ware based covered Required
1. a) Write a program that reads a floating-point Turbo C 2 1 hour
number and then displays the right-most digit of the compiler
integral part of the number

b) Given an integer number, write a program that

displays the number as follows:
First line: all digits
Second line: all except first digit
Third line: all except first two digits
…………
Last line: The last digit
2. a) The marks obtained by a student in 5 different Turbo C 2,3 1 hour
subjects are input through the keyboard. The student compiler
gets a division as per the following rules: Percentage
above or equal to 60 - First division Percentage
between 50 and 59 - Second division Percentage
between 40 and 49 - Third division Percentage less
than 40 - Fail Write a program to calculate the
division obtained by the student.

b) Write a program to check whether a triangle is

valid or not, when the three angles of the triangle are
entered through the keyboard. A triangle is valid if
the sum of all the three angles is equal to 180
degrees.
3. a) Program to find factorial of a number using while Turbo C 3 1 hour
