three print “Fizz” instead of the number and for the multiples of five print
“Buzz”. For numbers which are multiples of both three and five print
“FizzBuzz”.

the GPA (with 2 digits precision) as the fraction of total credits earned over
the total credits in Semester 1.
6. Assume SVCE mark entry portal has facility to enter the ESE marks and its
equivalent in words by the teacher. However, the teachers wish that itwouldbe
great if the marks in number are converted to their words by the software.

Exercise 5 Simple programming for one dimensional and two-dimensional
arrays
1. Read the heights of N kids and find the maximum height.
2. Read the marks of m students in N subjects and print the same as a matrix.
3. Write a C program to perform matrix addition.
4. Prof. Siva awards marks for N questions in the range 0-16. Support him in
finding the total. Ensure the following: a. Only numbers are entered b. If he
awards marks out of the range, ask him to re-enter the mark c. limit the total
to 100.
5. Dr. Sudha marks daily attendance of N students as a sequence of ‘P’ and ‘A’
for present and absent respectively. Help her to find the number of present
and absentees for a day.
6. Prof. Vimal is interested in forming project teams as a triplet of every
alternate student in his class. Say, if 10,11,12,13,14,15 are the roll numbers
of the students, then team_1 will be (10,12,14) and team_2 will be
(11,13,15). Automate this team formation to Vimal when he gives the class
size and the roll numbers. Ensure that this is possible only when the class
size if a multiple of three.
