C Programming Lab BPOPS103

Familiarization with computer hardware and programming environment,

concept of naming the program files, storing, compilation, execution and
debugging. Taking any simple C- code.

Computers are machines that perform tasks or calculations according to a set of

instructions, or programs. It is an electronic device that process data, converting it
into information that is useful to people.

The functions of a computer system can be carried out by using the three main units
namely input unit, system unit and output unit. The block diagram of a computer
system is as follows:

Central Processing Unit (CPU): is commonly known as “processor” that executes

the instructions of a computer program. It has Control Unit (CU) and Arithmetic &
Logical Unit (ALU). These two units perform the basic arithmetic, logical, and
input/output operations.

a) Input unit: is used to enter data and information into a computer by user. The
devices like keyboard, mouse and scanner are commonly used input devices.
▪ A keyboard is used to enter alphanumeric characters and symbols.
▪ The mouse is used to pick or select a command from the monitor screen.
A scanner is used to scan an image or read a barcode and so on.
b) Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU): is a digital circuit that perform arithmetic
(Add, Sub, Multiplication, Division) and logical (AND, OR, NOT) operations. It

helps in fast computation of scientific calculations on floating-point number.

c) Control unit (CU): is the circuitry that controls the flow of information through
the processor and coordinates the activities of the other units within the processor.

d) Memory Unit (MU): is the unit where all the input data and results are stored
either temporarily or permanently. The memory of a computer has two types:
1. Main Memory / Primary Memory units
i. Random Access Memory (RAM): RAM constitutes internal memory of
the CPU for storing data, program and result. It is read/write memory. RAM
is volatile i.e. data stored in it is lost when we switch off the computer or if
there is power failure.
ii. Read Only Memory (ROM): ROM is a permanent memory that can be
read but not written. Memory access is faster in ROM compared to RAM.
ROM is non volatile. i.e. contents are not lost when the computer is switched
off. Used to store permanent programs that don‟t change
2. Secondary Memory: It is not directly connected to CPU. It is non-volatile.
Slower than primary memory but have larger capacities. Different Types of
Secondary Memory or storage devices are hard disk, Magnetic Tape, Optical
Disks – CD-ROM, DVD-ROM,
Flash memory

e) Output Unit: It is used to display or print results from a computer. Monitor,

printer and plotters are commonly used output devices.
f) Bus: A bus is a collection of wires that carries data/Instructions. It connects
physical components such as cables, printed circuits, CPU, Memory, Peripherals
etc., for sharing of Information and communication with one another.
g) Main Board or Mother Board: Mother Board is a set of Integrated Chips (ICs)
which are designed to work together. It controls the flow of data/instructionswithin
our computer. It is the main board on which other hardware componentsare
connected to enable the computer system to work as an integrated unit.
It mainly consists of, Processor, RAM Slots, CMOS Battery, IDE Controller,
Floppy Controller, BIOS, sockets, PCI slots, power connectors, different ports and
bus. Components of the ATX mother board is shown in the Figure 1.2.

Operating System: An Operating System (OS) is system software that controls and
supervises the hardware components of a computer system and it provides the
services to computer users. Examples: Windows –XP ,Windows 7, Windows 8,
Fedora, Ubuntu and Android, etc.

Compile and Run a C Program on Ubuntu Linux

Step 1: Open up a terminal

Search for the terminal application in the dash tool (Located as the topmost item in the
launcher). Open up a terminal by clicking on icon.

Step 2: Use a text editor to write the C source code

AJIET, Dept. of CSE, Mangalore 3

C Programming Lab BPOPS103

Type the command gedit hello.c (hello is the file name. .c is the c extension)

Step 3: Compile the program

Type the command gcc hello.c

gcc command will invoke the GNU C compiler to compile the file hello.c and create
the output (-o) file i.e. executable file called hello.

Step 4: Execute program

type command ./a.out

The compilation process, converts the source program instructions to a formwhich

is suitable for execution by computer. This process is carried out by a compiler.
The compiler used here is GNU C compiler. If the program is error free then the
translated program is stored on another file named fimename.o which is called as
object code.

Linking is the process of putting together other program files and functions that are
required by the program. For example if the sqrt() function is used then function
definition of this function should be brought from the math library and linked to
the main program.

The compiled and linked program is called executable object code and is stored
automatically in another file called a.out.

AJIET, Dept. of CSE, Mangalore 4

C Programming Lab BPOPS103

The command ./a.out would load the executable object code into the computer‟s
memory and execute the instructions. During the program execution, the program
may request for some data to be entered through the keyboard. Sometimes the
program does not produce the desired results if something is wrong with the
program logic or input data. Then it would be necessary to correct the source
program. In case if the source program is modified the entire process of compiling,
linking and executing the program should be repeated.

The entire process of compiling and running a C program is shown in figure below:

PROGRAM 2

Compute the roots of a quadratic equation by accepting the

coefficients. Print appropriate messages.

THEORY/LOGIC:
To read the coefficients a, b, c and check if any of coefficients value is zero, if so, print
appropriate messages and re-run the program.

Otherwise calculate discriminate and based on discriminate value classify and

compute all the possible roots with suitable message.

The Standard Form of a quadratic equation is ax + bx + c = 0.

Standard formula to solve the quadratic equations

b2 − 4ac, is called the discriminant.

Three things may occur regarding the discriminant

− 4ac > 0 then can‟t take the square root of this positive amount and there
i) If b2
will be two different real roots for the quadratic equation.

ii) If b2− 4ac < 0 then can‟t

take the square root of a negative number, so there
will be two imaginary roots.

iii) If b2−
4ac = 0 then the amount under the radical is zero and since the square
root of zero is zero, will get two real roots and they are equal.
fabs() is a built in function which purpose is: A negative value becomes positive,
positive value is unchanged. The return value is always positive

PROGRAM 11

Develop a program using pointers to compute the sum, mean and standard
deviation of all elements stored in an array of n real numbers.

THEORY/LOGIC:

● A pointer is a variable whose value is the address of another variable, i.e.,

direct address of the memory location.

● The mean is the average and is computed as the sum of all numbers divided
by the total numbers.

● Variance measures how far a set of numbers is spread out. A variance of

zero indicates that all the values are identical. Variance is always non-
negative.

Standard deviation (SD) (σ) is a measure that is used to quantify the amount of
variation or dispersion of a set of data values. A standard deviation close to 0
indicates that the data points tend to be very close to the mean (also called the
expected value) of the set, while a high standard deviation indicates that the

data points are

● sum=1+2+3+4+5=15.00

● Mean=15.00/5=3.00

● Standard deviation=sqrt((1-3.00)2+(2-3.00)2+(3-3.00)2+(4-3.00)2+(5-
3.00)2 / 5 )=1.41
