(a) Describe with suitable example the concept of formatted output. 4M
(Note: Example can be a program or a code snippet)
Ans. Formatted output:
Page 7 / 24
(Autonomous)
MODEL ANSWER
printf( ) is used for formatted output to standard output depending on

the format specification. Format specifiers, along with the data to be
output are the parameters to the function. The different format
specifiers used are: Descript
%d-int values ion 3M
%f-float values
%c-char values
%s-string
General syntax:
printf(“control string/format specifier”,data1,data2,…data n);
control string indicates how many arguments follow and their data
types.
data1,data2 are the variables whose data are formatted and printed
according to the specifications of the control string.
Example:
printf(“%d %d”,no1,no2); Example
In the above example %d specify format and no1, no2 are the 1M
variables whose value will be display on the screen.

(e) With suitable example, describe any two operations on pointer. 4M
(Note: Code snippet shall be considered).
Ans. The pointer arithmetic is done as per the data type of the pointer. The
basic operations on pointers are
Increment:

Page 10 / 24
(Autonomous)
MODEL ANSWER
incremented, it points to the next location.

Example: For an int pointer variable, if the current position of pointer
is 1000, when it is incremented, it points to 1002 because for storing Any 2
an int value it takes 2 bytes of memory. operator
int *ptr; s
ptr++; descripti
on 1M
Decrement: each
It is used to decrement the pointer. Each time a pointer is and
decremented, it points to the previous location. example
Example: if the current position of pointer is 1002, then decrement 1M each
operation results in the pointer pointing to the location 1000.
int *ptr;
ptr--;
Addition and subtraction

C Allows to add integers to or subtract integers from pointers as well
as to subtract one pointer from another.
Example:
int*p1,*p2;
p1+4;
p2-2;
p1-p2;
Comparison operators
Pointers may be compared by using relational operators, such as ==,
<, and >. If p1 and p2 point to variables that are related to each other,
such as elements of the same array, then p1 and p2 can be compared
using the comparison operators.
(f) Write a „C‟ program to accept a string from user and copy it into 4M

(a) Describe conditional operator with syntax and example. 4M
Ans. Conditional operator:
Conditional operators return one value if condition is true and returns Descript
another value if condition is false. ion with
This operator is also called as ternary operator as it takes three syntax
arguments. 2M
Syntax: (Condition? true_value: false_value);

scanf("%d%d",&a,&b);
max=(a>b)?a:b;
printf(“%d is large”,max);
getch();
}
(b) Describe with example in which case do-while loop is most 4M
suitable than while loop.
Ans. Do-while is most suited when some statements of a program to be
executed at least once even if the condition is false. When while loop Descript
is used, if the condition is false then the statements will not be ion 1M
executed even once.
In menu driven programs do while loop is most suitable than while
loop as do loop displays menu options at least once without checking
any condition which is not possible with while loop.
Example:-
do Any
{ suitable
printf("Menu"); example
printf("\n1. Add \n2.Subtract"); with
printf("\n Enter your choice:"); descripti
scanf("%d",&ch); on 3M
switch(ch)
{
case 1:
...
...
}
printf("\n do you want to continue:(1/2)");
scanf("%d",&ch);
}while(ch==1);
In the above example, menu will be displayed without checking any
condition. Depending upon user's choice a case from switch will
execute. If user wish to continue then while loop takes the control
back to do statement.

(b) Describe importance of break statement in switch case statement. 4M

Ans. Break statement:
The break statement transfers the control out of loop/ block such as
for, while or switch case. When a break statement is encountered, it
Page 16 / 24
(Autonomous)
MODEL ANSWER
skips the remaining part of current iteration of the loop and passes
control out of the block or loop. The break will exit only a single
loop.
Syntax: Relevant
break; descripti
Break statement is important in switch case statement to allow only on 4M
one case to execute from multiple cases. After executing statements
from a single case, control must be pass outside the switch so that
other cases cannot execute. If break statement is not given after any
case then all cases after that case will also execute.
Example:
switch(choice)
{
case 1:
printf(“welcome to case 1”);
break;
case 2:
printf(“welcome to case 2”);
case 3:
printf("welcome to case 3");
}
In the above example, if choice is 1 then first case will execute and
then break statement will transfer the control out of the block.
If choice is 2 then first case will be ignored and second case executes.
For second case break statement is not given so after executing
second case, third case will also execute.
(c) Write a 'C' program to read two matrices of 3 x 3. Calculate and 4M
display their addition.

(e) Describe register and static storage classes with example. 4M
Ans. Register storage class: These variables are stored in the CPU
registers instead of memory. Since the register access is much faster
compared to the memory, frequently used variables can be stored this Descript
way. It is local to the block in which the variable is defined. It exists ion 1M
till the control remains within the block in which the variable is each
defined.
Example:
void main() Example
{ 1M each
register int count=0;
count++;
printf(“%d”,count);
}
Static storage class: The value of the static variable persists until the
end of the program execution. A variable can be declared as a static
Page 19 / 24
(Autonomous)
MODEL ANSWER
using the keyword static. The static variable is initialized to zero. It is

local to the block in which the variable is defined. Value of the
variable persists between different function calls.

no = 5;
ptr = &no;
printf("%d %d", no,*ptr);
Ans. int *ptr,no; -> This statement declares a pointer variable 'ptr' and a
variable 'no' with data type as integer.
no=5; -> This statement initializes value 5 to variable „no‟ i.e. value Meanin
5 is stored in variable 'no' g of
each
ptr=&no; -> This statement initializes pointer variable 'ptr' with the step 1M
address of variable 'no' i.e it stores the address of variable 'no' in
pointer variable ptr.
printf("%d%d",no,*ptr); ->This statement displays value of no as

5 and value 5 stored in the address of „no‟ within pointer variable.

void main() 2M
{
printf("%d",S1.rollno);
printf("%s",S1.name);
}
In the above example, structure student has two members as rollno
and name.'S1‟ is a structure variable. To access members of structure
student,'S1' variable is used inside main().Variable 'S1' followed by
dot operator and member name is used to access members of
structure.
Initialization of structure members:-

Structure members can be initialized while creating structure variable.
All the values as per number of members are specified inside a curly Descript
bracket along with comma as a separator. ion of
Initializ
Example:- ation of
struct student S1={1,"abc"}; structur
e
In the above example, S1 is a structure variable. Value 1 is initialized member
to rollno and "abc" is initialized to name stored inside structure 2M
variable S1.

MODEL ANSWER
(e) Explain local and global variable with example. 4M

Ans. Local variable is a variable that is declared inside a specific function.
It is available and used only inside the function. Only the function in
which it is declared can access it. It exists until end of function or
block in which it is declared.
void function1()
{ Local
int number1; variable
} 2M
void function2()
{
int number2;
}
In above example, variable number1 is accessed only inside function1
not in function2.
Global variable is a variable that is declared outside all functions. It

is available and used throughout the entire program. It can be
accessed by any function in the program. It exists as long as the
program's execution doesn't come to an end.
Example:
int number; Global
void main() variable
{ 2M
}
void function1()
{
}
In the above example 'number' is a global variable.
(f) Describe use of if-else statement with syntax and example. 4M
Ans. Use:
If-else statement is a decision making statement and is used to control
the flow of execution of statements. It allows the computer to
evaluate the expression first and then depending on whether the value Descript
of the expression is true or false, it transfers the control to the ion 2M
particular statement block.
Syntax of if-else statement:
if (test expression) Syntax
{ 1M

else
{
False-block statement (s)
}
Statement-x;
Example:-
