Q B1 Write a C program that performs the following tasks sequentially.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
/*

• Read the value of ‘temperature’ from user.
• Prints one the following messages based upon the value of ‘temperature’ 6 CO3
(i) Prints “Freezing Weather” if ‘temperature is less than 0
(ii) Prints “Very Cold Weather” if 0 <= temperature <10
(iii) Prints “Cold Weather” if 10 <= temperature <20
(iv) prints “Normal Weather” if temperature >= 20

SECTION-C (Analytical Based Questions)
Q C1 Debug and complete the following C program, which is designed to find the product
of the first five prime numbers.
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int primes[] = {2, 3, 5, 7, 11};
int product = 1;
// Debug and fix the issues in the for loop
for (int i = 0; i < sizeof(primes); i++) {
product *= primes[i]; }
// Missing logic: Complete the code to display the product of the first five prime
numbers
return 0;}
Issues to Address: 10 CO3
a. Identify and correct the error in the loop condition that may lead to accessing
memory beyond the array bounds.
b. Debug any logical errors preventing the correct calculation of the product of
the first five prime numbers.
c. Explain why the original loop condition was incorrect and how your
correction addresses the issue.
d. Suggest an alternative loop condition that would also work correctly for
iterating through the array.
Complete the missing logic in the code to display the product of the first five prime
numbers correctly.

Q C2 Write a C program that accomplishes the following tasks step by step:


a. Declare three 2-D arrays named "K1," "K2," and "K3" of type "int" with
dimensions 2*2.
b. Read the values for the 2-D arrays "K1" and "K2."
c. Multiply the corresponding elements of "K1" and "K2" and store the results in
the 2-D array "K3."
d. Display the contents of the resulting 2-D array "K3."
Ensure the program is structured to perform these tasks sequentially and provide the 10 CO4
code for each step.

SECTION-D
Q D1 Consider a scenario where you are tasked with developing a program in C to manage
a library's book inventory. The program should utilize structures to handle book
information. The program should perform the following tasks:
a. Define a structure named Book with the following attributes:
Book _ID (integer) 10 CO5
Title (string)
Price (float)
b. Create a structure to store information of 2 books in the library.
c. Display the information of both Books.
Q D2 Debug and complete the following C program, which intends to calculate the factorial
of a given number using a while loop.
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int number, factorial;
// Missing logic: Complete the code to ask the user for input and store it in
'number'
// Debug and fix the issues in the while loop
while (i <= number) {
factorial *= i;
}
// Missing logic: Complete the code to display the factorial
return 0; 10 CO3
}
a. Identify and correct the error in the while loop that leads to incorrect factorial
calculation.
b. Debug any logical errors preventing the correct determination of the factorial
within the while loop.
c. Explain why the original while loop was incorrect and how your correction
addresses the issue.
d. Suggest an alternative loop construct that could be used instead of the while
loop to achieve the same result.
e. Complete the missing logic in the code to ask the user for input and store it in
the variable 'number', and display the calculated factorial at the end.
