1. Conditional Statements

i) if:

Example:

ii) if-else:
 c
if (condition) {
// code to be executed if the condition is true
} else {
// code to be executed if the condition is false
}

Example:

iii) else-if ladder:

c
if (condition1) {
// code to be executed if condition1 is true
} else if (condition2) {
// code to be executed if condition2 is true
} else {
// code to be executed if none of the conditions are true
}

Example:

c
int x = 0;
if (x > 0) {
printf("x is positive");
} else if (x < 0) {
printf("x is negative");
} else {
printf("x is zero");
}

iv) nested if-else:

 c
if (condition1) {
if (condition2) {
// code to be executed if both conditions are true
} else {
// code to be executed if condition1 is true and
condition2 is false
}
} else {
// code to be executed if condition1 is false
}

Example:

c
int x = 5, y = 10;
if (x == y) {
printf("x and y are equal");
} else {
if (x > y) {
printf("x is greater than y");
} else {
printf("y is greater than x");
}
}

v) switch:
 c
switch (expression) {
case value1:
// code to be executed if expression equals value1
break;
case value2:
// code to be executed if expression equals value2
break;
// add more cases as needed
default:
// code to be executed if none of the cases are true
}

Example:

c
char grade = 'B';
switch (grade) {
case 'A':
printf("Excellent");
break;
case 'B':
printf("Good");
break;
case 'C':
printf("Average");
break;
default:
printf("Not a valid grade");
}

Explain the following operators with an example program: i) Relational ii) increment/decrement
iii) sizeof iv) Arithmetic v) logical iv) bitwise
ChatGPT
Certainly! Let's go through each type of operator with a brief explanation and an
example program:

i) Relational Operators:

Relational operators are used to compare values. They return a Boolean result
(either true or false).

Example Program:

c
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int a = 5, b = 10;

// Relational operators
printf("%d > %d is %s\n", a, b, a > b ? "true" : "false");
printf("%d < %d is %s\n", a, b, a < b ? "true" : "false");
printf("%d == %d is %s\n", a, b, a == b ? "true" : "false");
printf("%d != %d is %s\n", a, b, a != b ? "true" : "false");

return 0; // Exit successfully

}

ii) Increment/Decrement Operators:

Increment ( ++ ) adds 1 to a variable, while decrement ( -- ) subtracts 1.

Example Program:
 c
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int x = 5;

// Increment and Decrement operators

printf("Initial value of x: %d\n", x);
x++;
printf("After increment: %d\n", x);
x--;
printf("After decrement: %d\n", x);

return 0; // Exit successfully

}

iii) sizeof Operator:

sizeof operator returns the size, in bytes, of the operand.

Example Program:

c
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int x;
double y;

// sizeof operator
printf("Size of int: %lu bytes\n", sizeof(x));
printf("Size of double: %lu bytes\n", sizeof(y));

return 0; // Exit successfully

}

iv) Arithmetic Operators:

Arithmetic operators perform basic mathematical operations.

Example Program:

c
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int a = 5, b = 2;

// Arithmetic operators
printf("Sum: %d\n", a + b);
printf("Difference: %d\n", a - b);
printf("Product: %d\n", a * b);
printf("Quotient: %d\n", a / b);
printf("Remainder: %d\n", a % b);

return 0; // Exit successfully

}

v) Logical Operators:

Logical operators perform logical operations and return true or false.

Example Program:

c
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int x = 5, y = 10;

// Logical operators
printf("(x > 0) && (y > 0) is %s\n", (x > 0) && (y > 0) ?
"true" : "false");
printf("(x > 0) || (y < 0) is %s\n", (x > 0) || (y < 0) ?
"true" : "false");
printf("!(x == y) is %s\n", !(x == y) ? "true" : "false");

return 0; // Exit successfully

}
vi) Bitwise Operators:

Bitwise operators perform operations at the bit level.

Example Program:

c
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
unsigned int a = 5, b = 3;

// Bitwise operators
printf("a & b is %u\n", a & b);
printf("a | b is %u\n", a | b);
printf("a ^ b is %u\n", a ^ b);
printf("~a is %u\n", ~a);
printf("a << 1 is %u\n", a << 1);
printf("a >> 1 is %u\n", a >> 1);

return 0; // Exit successfully

}

These examples illustrate the basic usage of each type of operator. Feel free to ask
for clarification on any specific part!

Explain the working of break, continue statement with a suitable example.
ChatGPT

Break Statement:

The break statement is used to exit a loop prematurely. When encountered, it

terminates the innermost loop in which it appears.

Example Program:
 c
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int i;

// Break statement example

for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
if (i == 5) {
printf("Encountered 5. Exiting loop.\n");
break;
}
printf("%d ", i);
}

return 0; // Exit successfully

}

In this example, the loop runs from 1 to 10, but when i becomes 5, the break
statement is encountered, and the loop is exited prematurely. The output will be 1
2 3 4 Encountered 5. Exiting loop. .

Continue Statement:

The continue statement is used to skip the rest of the code inside a loop for the
current iteration and proceed to the next iteration.

Example Program:
 c
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int i;

// Continue statement example

for (i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
if (i == 3) {
printf("Skipping iteration when i is 3.\n");
continue;
}
printf("%d ", i);
}

return 0; // Exit successfully

}

In this example, when i is equal to 3, the continue statement is encountered,

and the code inside the loop for that iteration is skipped. The output will be 1 2
Skipping iteration when i is 3. 4 5 .

These statements provide control flow within loops, allowing you to exit a loop
prematurely or skip specific iterations based on certain conditions.

Compute sin(x) using Taylor series approximation. Compare your result with the built-in library
function. Print both the results with appropriate inferences.
ChatGPT
Certainly! Below is a C program that computes sin(x) using the Taylor series
approximation and compares the result with the built-in library function ( sin() ). It
uses a few terms of the Taylor series for the approximation.
c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

// Function to compute factorial

int factorial(int n) {
if (n == 0 || n == 1) {
return 1;
} else {
return n * factorial(n - 1);
}
}

// Function to compute sin(x) using Taylor series approximation

double computeSin(double x, int terms) {
double result = 0;

for (int n = 0; n < terms; n++) {

int sign = (n % 2 == 0) ? 1 : -1;
double term = sign * pow(x, 2 * n + 1) / factorial(2 * n +
1);
result += term;
}

return result;
}

int main() {
double x, resultTaylor, resultLibrary;

// Input angle in radians

printf("Enter the angle in radians: ");
scanf("%lf", &x);

// Number of terms in Taylor series

int terms = 5;

// Compute sin(x) using Taylor series

resultTaylor = computeSin(x, terms);

// Compute sin(x) using library function

resultLibrary = sin(x);
 // Print results
printf("Taylor series approximation of sin(%lf): %lf\n", x,
resultTaylor);
printf("Built-in library function sin(%lf): %lf\n", x,
resultLibrary);

// Compare results
printf("\nComparison:\n");
printf("Absolute difference between Taylor series and library
function: %lf\n", fabs(resultTaylor - resultLibrary));

return 0; // Exit successfully

}

In this program, the computeSin function approximates sin(x) using the Taylor
series with a specified number of terms. The results are then compared with the
built-in sin() function, and the absolute difference is printed. You can adjust the
terms variable to see how the approximation improves with more terms in the
series.

Explain the following looping statements with syntax and example program. i) while ii) do-while
iii) for.
ChatGPT

i) while Loop:

The while loop repeatedly executes a block of statements as long as the given
condition is true.

Syntax:

Example Program:
 c
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int i = 1;

// while loop example

while (i <= 5) {
printf("%d ", i);
i++;
}

return 0; // Exit successfully

}

This program prints numbers from 1 to 5 using a while loop.

ii) do-while Loop:

The do-while loop is similar to the while loop, but it guarantees that the block
of statements is executed at least once, as the condition is checked after the
execution.

Syntax:

Example Program:
 c
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int i = 1;

// do-while loop example

do {
printf("%d ", i);
i++;
} while (i <= 5);

return 0; // Exit successfully

}

This program also prints numbers from 1 to 5 using a do-while loop.

iii) for Loop:

The for loop is used when you know the number of iterations in advance. It
combines initialization, condition checking, and increment/decrement in a single
line.

Syntax:

Example Program:

c
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
// for loop example
for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
printf("%d ", i);
}

return 0; // Exit successfully

}
This program prints numbers from 1 to 5 using a for loop.

Each type of loop has its use cases, and you can choose the one that fits your
specific scenario based on the control flow requirements.

Explain how to declare and initialize a string with examples.
ChatGPT

Declaring and Initializing a String in C:

In C, a string is represented as an array of characters. There are two common ways

to declare and initialize strings:

1. Using Character Array:

c
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
// Declaration and initialization using character array
char str1[] = "Hello, World!";

// Printing the string

printf("str1: %s\n", str1);

return 0; // Exit successfully

}

In this example, str1 is a character array automatically sized to fit the provided
string literal.

2. Using Pointer to a String Literal:

 c
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
// Declaration and initialization using a pointer to a string
literal
const char *str2 = "Programming in C";

// Printing the string

printf("str2: %s\n", str2);

return 0; // Exit successfully

}

In this example, str2 is a pointer to a constant string literal.

Initializing a String Character by Character:

c
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
// Declaration and manual initialization character by
character
char str3[20]; // Declare a character array of size 20

// Manual initialization
str3[0] = 'C';
str3[1] = 'o';
str3[2] = 'd';
str3[3] = 'e';
str3[4] = '\0'; // Null-terminate the string

// Printing the string

printf("str3: %s\n", str3);

return 0; // Exit successfully

}
In this example, str3 is declared as a character array, and each character is
assigned manually. It's crucial to null-terminate the string by assigning '\0' at the
end to indicate the end of the string.

Keep in mind that strings in C are null-terminated, meaning they end with the null
character '\0' . This character signifies the end of the string when using standard
string functions.

Choose the method based on your specific needs and the nature of your data. The
first two examples are common and concise, while the third example provides more
control over individual characters.

Explain all the string handling functions with syntax and example program for each.
ChatGPT
Certainly! Here are explanations and example programs for some common string
handling functions in C:

1. strlen - String Length:

Syntax:

Example Program:

c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main() {
const char *str = "Hello, World!";

// String length example

size_t length = strlen(str);

printf("Length of the string: %zu\n", length);

return 0;
}
2. strcpy - String Copy:

Syntax:

Example Program:

c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main() {
const char *src = "Copy me!";
char dest[20];

// String copy example

strcpy(dest, src);

printf("Copied string: %s\n", dest);

return 0;
}

3. strcat - String Concatenate:

Syntax:

Example Program:
 c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main() {
char dest[20] = "Hello, ";
const char *src = "World!";

// String concatenate example

strcat(dest, src);

printf("Concatenated string: %s\n", dest);

return 0;
}

4. strcmp - String Compare:

Syntax:

Example Program:
 c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main() {
const char *str1 = "apple";
const char *str2 = "banana";

// String compare example

int result = strcmp(str1, str2);

if (result < 0) {
printf("%s comes before %s\n", str1, str2);
} else if (result > 0) {
printf("%s comes after %s\n", str1, str2);
} else {
printf("%s is equal to %s\n", str1, str2);
}

return 0;
}

5. strncpy - Copy Characters from String:

Syntax:

Example Program:
 c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main() {
const char *src = "Copy me!";
char dest[20];

// Copy only 5 characters from source to destination

strncpy(dest, src, 5);

printf("Copied string (limited to 5 characters): %s\n", dest);

return 0;
}

These are just a few examples, and there are more string handling functions in C.
Each function serves a specific purpose, and you can choose the appropriate one
based on your requirements.

Checking Palindrome with Built-in Function:

c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

// Function to check if a string is a palindrome using built-in

functions
int isPalindromeBuiltIn(const char *str) {
int length = strlen(str);

for (int i = 0; i < length / 2; i++) {

if (str[i] != str[length - 1 - i]) {
return 0; // Not a palindrome
}
}

return 1; // Palindrome
}

int main() {
char input[100];

// Input from the user

printf("Enter a string: ");
scanf("%s", input);

// Check if the string is a palindrome using built-in

functions
if (isPalindromeBuiltIn(input)) {
printf("%s is a palindrome.\n", input);
} else {
printf("%s is not a palindrome.\n", input);
}

return 0;
}
Checking Palindrome without Built-in Function:

c
#include <stdio.h>

// Function to check if a string is a palindrome without built-in

functions
int isPalindromeWithoutBuiltIn(const char *str) {
int length = 0;
while (str[length] != '\0') {
length++;
}

for (int i = 0; i < length / 2; i++) {

if (str[i] != str[length - 1 - i]) {
return 0; // Not a palindrome
}
}

return 1; // Palindrome
}

int main() {
char input[100];

// Input from the user

printf("Enter a string: ");
scanf("%s", input);

// Check if the string is a palindrome without built-in

functions
if (isPalindromeWithoutBuiltIn(input)) {
printf("%s is a palindrome.\n", input);
} else {
printf("%s is not a palindrome.\n", input);
}

return 0;
}
These programs take a string as input, and using either built-in functions ( strlen )
or manual length calculation, they check whether the given string is a palindrome or
not. If it is a palindrome, a corresponding message is printed.

Explain how to declare and initialize array of strings with examples.
ChatGPT

Declaring and Initializing an Array of Strings in C:

In C, an array of strings is essentially a two-dimensional array of characters. Here's

how you can declare and initialize an array of strings:

Syntax:

c
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
// Declaration and initialization of an array of strings
char strings[][20] = {"Apple", "Banana", "Cherry", "Date"};

// Accessing and printing the array of strings

for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
printf("String %d: %s\n", i + 1, strings[i]);
}

return 0;
}

In this example, strings is a two-dimensional array of characters, and each row

represents a string. The array is initialized with four strings. The size of each string
is set to 20, but you can adjust it based on the maximum length of strings you
expect.
Dynamic Memory Allocation for an Array of Strings:

If you want to dynamically allocate memory for an array of strings, you can use
pointers:

Syntax:

c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main() {
// Dynamic allocation of an array of strings
char **strings;
strings = (char **)malloc(4 * sizeof(char *));

// Check for memory allocation success

if (strings == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, "Memory allocation failed.\n");
return 1; // Exit with an error code
}

strings[0] = "Apple";
strings[1] = "Banana";
strings[2] = "Cherry";
strings[3] = "Date";

// Accessing and printing the array of strings

for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
printf("String %d: %s\n", i + 1, strings[i]);
}

// Free dynamically allocated memory

free(strings);

return 0;
}
In this example, strings is a pointer to a pointer ( char ** ), and memory is
dynamically allocated to store pointers to strings. Each string is then assigned to
the corresponding memory location.

Remember to free the dynamically allocated memory using free to avoid memory
leaks.

Choose the method based on your specific requirements. The first example with a
fixed-size array is suitable when the number of strings is known at compile time,
while the second example with dynamic memory allocation is useful when the
number of strings is determined at runtime.

Write functions to implement string operations such as compare, concatenate, and find string
length. Use the parameter passing techniques.
ChatGPT
Certainly! Here's an example C program that defines functions to implement string
operations—compare, concatenate, and find string length—using parameter passing
techniques:
c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

// Function to compare two strings

int compareStrings(const char *str1, const char *str2) {
while (*str1 && *str2) {
if (*str1 != *str2) {
return 0; // Not equal
}
str1++;
str2++;
}

// Check if both strings have reached the null terminator

return (*str1 == '\0' && *str2 == '\0');
}

// Function to concatenate two strings

char* concatenateStrings(const char *str1, const char *str2) {
// Calculate the length of the new string
int length1 = 0;
while (str1[length1] != '\0') {
length1++;
}

int length2 = 0;
while (str2[length2] != '\0') {
length2++;
}

// Allocate memory for the concatenated string

char *result = (char *)malloc((length1 + length2 + 1) *
sizeof(char));

if (result == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, "Memory allocation failed.\n");
exit(1); // Exit with an error code
}

// Copy the first string to the result

for (int i = 0; i < length1; i++) {
result[i] = str1[i];
 }

// Concatenate the second string to the result

for (int i = 0; i < length2; i++) {
result[length1 + i] = str2[i];
}

// Null-terminate the concatenated string

result[length1 + length2] = '\0';

return result;
}

// Function to find the length of a string

int findStringLength(const char *str) {
int length = 0;

while (*str != '\0') {

length++;
str++;
}

return length;
}

int main() {
const char *string1 = "Hello";
const char *string2 = "World";

// Compare strings
if (compareStrings(string1, string2)) {
printf("Strings are equal.\n");
} else {
printf("Strings are not equal.\n");
}

// Concatenate strings
char *concatenatedString = concatenateStrings(string1,
string2);
printf("Concatenated string: %s\n", concatenatedString);

// Find string length

int length = findStringLength(concatenatedString);
 printf("Length of the string: %d\n", length);

// Free dynamically allocated memory

free(concatenatedString);

return 0;
}

This program demonstrates the implementation of string operations using

parameter passing techniques. The compareStrings , concatenateStrings , and
findStringLength functions are defined to perform string comparison,
concatenation, and finding string length, respectively. The main function then uses
these functions to showcase their usage.

Define pointer variable. State its uses. Explain with example the declaration and initialization of
pointer variable.
ChatGPT

Pointer Variable:

A pointer variable in C is a variable that stores the memory address of another

variable. It "points to" the location of a variable in memory. Pointers provide a way to
indirectly access the value of a variable by referring to its memory address.

Uses of Pointer Variables:

1. Dynamic Memory Allocation: Pointers are commonly used to allocate memory

dynamically during program execution, allowing flexible memory management.

2. Efficient Parameter Passing: Pointers can be used to pass memory addresses

as function arguments, allowing functions to modify the original data directly.

3. Array Manipulation: Pointers can be employed for efficient traversal and

manipulation of arrays.

4. Accessing Hardware: Pointers are used in embedded systems to access

hardware registers and memory-mapped devices.
 5. Function Pointers: Pointers can point to functions, enabling the creation of
arrays of functions or passing functions as arguments.

Declaration and Initialization of Pointer Variable:

Declaration Syntax:

Initialization Example:

c
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int x = 10;

// Declaration and initialization of a pointer to an integer

int *ptr = &x;

// Accessing the value using the pointer

printf("Value of x: %d\n", *ptr);

return 0;
}

In this example, int *ptr; declares a pointer variable named ptr that can store
the memory address of an integer. The &x operator is used to get the memory
address of the variable x , and this address is then assigned to the pointer variable
ptr . The *ptr expression is used to access the value stored at the memory
location pointed to by ptr , which, in this case, is the value of x . The output would
be Value of x: 10 .

Write a C program using pointers to compute sum, mean and standard deviation of all elements
stored in an array of n real numbers.
ChatGPT
Certainly! Below is a C program that uses pointers to compute the sum, mean, and
standard deviation of elements stored in an array of n real numbers:
c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

// Function to compute sum, mean, and standard deviation using

pointers
void calculateStats(const double *arr, int n, double *sum, double
*mean, double *stdDev) {
*sum = 0.0;

// Calculate sum
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
*sum += arr[i];
}

// Calculate mean
*mean = *sum / n;

// Calculate standard deviation

*stdDev = 0.0;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
*stdDev += pow(arr[i] - *mean, 2);
}
*stdDev = sqrt(*stdDev / n);
}

int main() {
int n;

// Input the number of elements

printf("Enter the number of elements: ");
scanf("%d", &n);

// Check if the number of elements is non-negative

if (n <= 0) {
printf("Invalid input. Number of elements should be
positive.\n");
return 1; // Exit with an error code
}

double numbers[n];

// Input the array elements

 printf("Enter %d real numbers:\n", n);
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
printf("Element %d: ", i + 1);
scanf("%lf", &numbers[i]);
}

// Calculate sum, mean, and standard deviation using pointers

double sum, mean, stdDev;
calculateStats(numbers, n, &sum, &mean, &stdDev);

// Output the results

printf("\nResults:\n");
printf("Sum: %.2lf\n", sum);
printf("Mean: %.2lf\n", mean);
printf("Standard Deviation: %.2lf\n", stdDev);

return 0;
}

This program takes the number of elements and the array of real numbers as input,
calculates the sum, mean, and standard deviation using pointers, and then outputs
the results. The calculateStats function is responsible for performing the
computations.

Explain all the steps used to open a file in C language.
ChatGPT
To open a file in C, you typically use the fopen function. Below are the steps
involved in opening a file in C:

1. Include Header File:

Include the necessary header file for file operations, which is <stdio.h> .

4. Check for Successful Opening:

Check if the file was opened successfully by verifying if the file pointer is not NULL .
 c
if (filePointer == NULL) {
// Handle error (e.g., print an error message and exit the
program)
perror("Error opening file");
return 1; // Exit with an error code
}

Example Program:

Here's an example program that demonstrates these steps:

c
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
FILE *filePointer;

// Step 3: Use `fopen` function to open the file

filePointer = fopen("example.txt", "r");

// Step 4: Check for successful opening

if (filePointer == NULL) {
perror("Error opening file");
return 1; // Exit with an error code
}

// File is open and ready for further operations

// Additional code for file operations can be added here

// Step 5: Close the file when done

fclose(filePointer);

return 0;
}

In this example, the file "example.txt" is opened in read mode ("r"). If the file is
successfully opened, you can perform additional file operations (reading, writing,
etc.), and finally, close the file using fclose . Always remember to close the file
when you're done to release system resources.

Explain all the functions used to read from a file in C language.
ChatGPT
In C, there are several functions used to read from a file. The primary ones are
fgetc , fgets , and fread . Here's an explanation of each:

1. fgetc - Read Character from File:

2. fgets - Read Line from File:

c
char *fgets(char *str, int n, FILE *stream);

Description: Reads up to n-1 characters from the specified file (stream ) and
stores them in the string str . It stops reading when a newline character is
encountered, or n-1 characters are read, or the end of file is reached.

Return Value: Returns str on success, NULL on failure.

Example:

c
FILE *file = fopen("example.txt", "r");
char buffer[100];

while (fgets(buffer, sizeof(buffer), file) != NULL) {

printf("%s", buffer);
}

fclose(file);
3. fread - Read Block of Data from File:

c
size_t fread(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, FILE *stream);

Description: Reads up to nmemb blocks of data, each size bytes long, from the
specified file (stream ) and stores them in the memory block pointed to by ptr .

Return Value: Returns the total number of elements successfully read (which
may be less than nmemb if the end of file is reached or an error occurs).

Example:

c
FILE *file = fopen("example.bin", "rb");
int buffer[100];

size_t elements_read = fread(buffer, sizeof(int), 100, file);

// Process the data in the buffer

fclose(file);

These functions provide different levels of granularity for reading from a file,
allowing you to choose the one that fits your specific requirements. Always
remember to check for errors and handle them appropriately.

Explain all the functions used to write to a file in C language.
ChatGPT
In C, there are several functions used to write to a file. The primary ones are fputc ,
fputs , and fwrite . Here's an explanation of each:

1. fputc - Write Character to File:

c
3. fwrite - Write Block of Data to File:

c
size_t fwrite(const void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, FILE
*stream);

Description: Writes up to nmemb blocks of data, each size bytes long, from the
memory block pointed to by ptr to the specified file (stream ).

Return Value: Returns the total number of elements successfully written (which
may be less than nmemb if an error occurs).

Example:

c
FILE *file = fopen("output.bin", "wb");
int buffer[100];

// Fill the buffer with data

size_t elements_written = fwrite(buffer, sizeof(int), 100,

file);

fclose(file);

These functions provide different levels of granularity for writing to a file, allowing
you to choose the one that fits your specific requirements. Always remember to
check for errors and handle them appropriately. Additionally, close the file using
fclose when you're done writing to it to ensure that the changes are saved and
resources are released.

Write a C program to copy a text file to another, read both the input file name and target file
name.
ChatGPT
Certainly! Here's a simple C program that copies the contents of one text file to
another. It prompts the user to enter both the input file name and the target file
name:
c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define MAX_FILENAME_LENGTH 100

#define BUFFER_SIZE 1024

int main() {
char inputFileName[MAX_FILENAME_LENGTH];
char targetFileName[MAX_FILENAME_LENGTH];
FILE *inputFile, *targetFile;
char buffer[BUFFER_SIZE];
size_t bytesRead;

// Get input file name from the user

printf("Enter the input file name: ");
scanf("%s", inputFileName);

// Open the input file for reading

inputFile = fopen(inputFileName, "r");

// Check if the input file was opened successfully

if (inputFile == NULL) {
perror("Error opening input file");
return 1; // Exit with an error code
}

// Get target file name from the user

printf("Enter the target file name: ");
scanf("%s", targetFileName);

// Open the target file for writing

targetFile = fopen(targetFileName, "w");

// Check if the target file was opened successfully

if (targetFile == NULL) {
perror("Error opening target file");
fclose(inputFile); // Close the input file before exiting
return 1; // Exit with an error code
}

// Copy content from input file to target file

while ((bytesRead = fread(buffer, 1, sizeof(buffer),
 inputFile)) > 0) {
fwrite(buffer, 1, bytesRead, targetFile);
}

// Close both files

fclose(inputFile);
fclose(targetFile);

printf("File copied successfully.\n");

return 0;
}

This program prompts the user to enter the names of the input file and target file. It
then opens the input file for reading and the target file for writing. It reads the
content from the input file in chunks and writes it to the target file. Finally, it closes
both files.

Explain Structure definition, declaration, accessing and initialization of structures with suitable
example.
ChatGPT

Structure Definition in C:

A structure in C is a user-defined data type that allows you to group together

variables of different data types under a single name. The structure definition
specifies the layout of the data.

Syntax:

Structure Initialization:

Structures can be initialized at the time of declaration or later by assigning values to

their members.

Example:
 c
#include <stdio.h>

// Structure definition
struct Point {
int x;
int y;
};

int main() {
// Structure declaration and initialization
struct Point p1 = {10, 20};

// Accessing structure members

printf("Coordinates: (%d, %d)\n", p1.x, p1.y);

// Initializing structure members later

struct Point p2;
p2.x = 30;
p2.y = 40;

// Accessing structure members

printf("Coordinates: (%d, %d)\n", p2.x, p2.y);

return 0;
}

In this example, a structure named Point is defined with two members ( x and
y ). Two variables p1 and p2 of type Point are declared and initialized with
values. The coordinates are accessed using the dot ( . ) operator.

Implement structures to read, write and compute average- marks of the students, list the
students scoring above and below the average marks for a class of N students.
ChatGPT
Certainly! Here's an example program in C that uses structures to read, write, and
compute the average marks of students. It also lists students scoring above and
below the average marks:
c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

// Structure definition for student

struct Student {
char name[50];
int marks;
};

// Function to read student details

void readStudents(struct Student *students, int n) {
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
printf("Enter details for student %d:\n", i + 1);
printf("Name: ");
scanf("%s", students[i].name);
printf("Marks: ");
scanf("%d", &students[i].marks);
}
}

// Function to compute and return the average marks

double computeAverage(struct Student *students, int n) {
double totalMarks = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {

totalMarks += students[i].marks;
}

return totalMarks / n;
}

// Function to list students above and below average marks

void listAboveBelowAverage(struct Student *students, int n, double
average) {
printf("\nStudents scoring above average:\n");
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
if (students[i].marks > average) {
printf("%s - %d\n", students[i].name,
students[i].marks);
}
}
 printf("\nStudents scoring below or equal to average:\n");
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
if (students[i].marks <= average) {
printf("%s - %d\n", students[i].name,
students[i].marks);
}
}
}

int main() {
int n;

// Get the number of students from the user

printf("Enter the number of students: ");
scanf("%d", &n);

// Dynamic allocation of an array of students

struct Student *students = (struct Student *)malloc(n *
sizeof(struct Student));

// Check for memory allocation success

if (students == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, "Memory allocation failed.\n");
return 1; // Exit with an error code
}

// Read student details

readStudents(students, n);

// Compute average marks

double average = computeAverage(students, n);
printf("\nAverage Marks: %.2lf\n", average);

// List students above and below average marks

listAboveBelowAverage(students, n, average);

// Free dynamically allocated memory

free(students);

return 0;
}
This program prompts the user to enter the number of students, then reads details
for each student (name and marks). It computes the average marks and lists
students scoring above and below the average. Dynamic memory allocation is used
to handle an array of students.

Differentiate structures and unions.

Summary:

Structures allow grouping of variables where each member has its own memory
location, suitable for scenarios where multiple pieces of information are needed
simultaneously.

Unions allow grouping of variables where all members share the same memory
location, suitable for scenarios where only one piece of information is needed at
a time. The size of a union is determined by its largest member.

Explain enumerated datatype in C language.
ChatGPT

Enumerated Datatype in C:

An enumerated datatype in C is a user-defined data type that consists of a set of

named integral constants, called enumerators. Enumerated types provide a way to
create named constants for a set of related values, making the code more readable
and maintainable.

ChatGPT
In C, an enumerated data type, often referred to as an "enum," is a user-defined data
type that consists of a set of named integer constants. Enumerations are used to
create a set of named integer values, making the code more readable and
maintainable.

Here's a simple example of an enumerated data type in C:

 c
#include <stdio.h>

// Define an enumeration named 'Color' with constants: Red, Green,

Blue
enum Color {
Red,
Green,
Blue
};

int main() {
// Declare a variable of type 'Color'
enum Color myColor;

// Assign a value from the 'Color' enumeration

myColor = Blue;

// Switch statement to demonstrate the usage of enum

switch (myColor) {
case Red:
printf("The color is Red.\n");
break;
case Green:
printf("The color is Green.\n");
break;
case Blue:
printf("The color is Blue.\n");
break;
default:
printf("Unknown color.\n");
}

return 0;
}

In this example, the enum Color defines three constants: Red , Green , and
Blue , each having an associated integer value (starting from 0 by default). The
myColor variable is then declared, assigned the value Blue , and used in a switch
statement to determine the color.
Enums provide a way to create more meaningful and self-explanatory code,
especially when dealing with a set of related constants.
