Write a C program to input any alphabet and check whether CLO-2 Create
it is consonant or vowel using else-if construct

#include<stdio.h>
int main( )
{
char c;
int isLowercaseVowel, isUppercaseVowel;
printf("Enter an alphabet: ");
scanf("%c",&c);
1 4
isLowercaseVowel =(c =='a'|| c =='e'|| c =='i'|| c =='o'|| c =='u');
isUppercaseVowel =(c =='A'|| c =='E'|| c =='I'|| c =='O'|| c
=='U');
if(isLowercaseVowel || isUppercaseVowel)
printf("%c is a vowel.", c);
else
printf("%c is a consonant.", c);
return0;

}
2 Explain Switch case Statement ? How break Statement is CLO-2 Understand 4
useful in C programming

switch(variable or expression)
{
case constant 1:
statements;
break;
….
case constant N;
statements;
break;
default:
statements;
}

When the break statement is encountered inside a loop, the

loop is immediately terminated, and program control
resumes at the next statement following the loop. The break
 statement can be used with all three of C's loops. One good
use of continue is to restart a statement sequence when an
error occurs
Illustrate the concept of nested for loop with suitable CLO-2 Analyze
Example?
#include <stdio.h>

int main () {

/* local variable definition */

int i, j;
3 4
for(i = 2; i<100; i++) {

for(j = 2; j <= (i/j); j++)

if(!(i%j)) break; // if factor found, not prime
if(j > (i/j)) printf("%d is prime\n", i);
}

return 0;
}
State the syntax of 2D array. Identify and Explain the CLO-3 Knowledge
subscript of 2D array

4 An array of arrays is known as 2D array. The two 4

dimensional (2D) array in C programming is also known as
matrix. A matrix can be represented as a table of rows and
columns.
Define one dimensional array and explain with example CLO-3 Knowledge

A one-dimensional array (or single dimension array) is a

5 type of linear array. Accessing its elements involves 4
a single subscript which can either represent a row or
column index. ... In the given example the array can contain
10 elements of any value available to the int type.
Demonstrate following string handling functions with code CLO-3 Apply
snippet (i) strlen() (ii) strcat()

6 4

strlen() – return the length of the string

7 Explain about Contiguous Memory Location in array CLO-4 Analyze 4
When Big Block of memory is reserved or allocated then that
memory block is called as Contiguous Memory Block.
Alternate meaning of Contiguous Memory is continuous
memory.
Suppose inside memory we have reserved 1000-1200 memory
addresses for special purposes then we can say that these 200
blocks are going to reserve contiguous memory.
Contiguous Memory Allocation
 Two registers are used while implementing the contiguous
memory scheme. These registers are base register and limit
register.

Factorial or Fibonacci of a given number based on the user
choice

printf(“\n Enter Any Number: ”);
scanf(“%d”, &n);

call by reference method with suitable
examples.

Call by Value
Example: Swapping the values of the two
variables
#include <stdio.h>
void swap(int , int); //prototype of the
function
int main()
{
int a = 10;
int b = 20;
printf("Before swapping the values in
main a = %d, b = %d\n",a,b); // printing the
value of a and b in main
swap(a,b);
printf("After swapping values in main a =
%d, b = %d\n",a,b); // The value of actual
parameters do not change by changing the
formal parameters in call by value, a = 10, b
= 20
}
void swap (int a, int b)
{
int temp;
temp = a;
a=b;
b=temp;
printf("After swapping values in function
a = %d, b = %d\n",a,b); // Formal
parameters, a = 20, b = 10
}

Call by Reference
#include <stdio.h>
void swap(int *, int *); //prototype of the
function
int main()
{
int a = 10;
int b = 20;
printf("Before swapping the values in
main a = %d, b = %d\n",a,b); // printing the
value of a and b in main
swap(&a,&b);
printf("After swapping values in main a =
%d, b = %d\n",a,b); // The values of actual
parameters do change in call by reference, a
= 10, b = 20
}
 void swap (int *a, int *b)
{
int temp;
temp = *a;
*a=*b;
*b=temp;
printf("After swapping values in function
a = %d, b = %d\n",*a,*b); // Formal
parameters, a = 20, b = 10
}

Discuss the need for user defined functions? Explain CLO-4 Understand
with suitable example programs the four function
prototype

Need for User Defined Functions

It provides modularity to your program's structure.

It makes your code reusable. You just have to call the

function by its name to use it, wherever required.

In case of large programs with thousands of code lines,

debugging and editing becomes easier if you use
9 b functions. 15

It makes the program more readable and easy to

understand.

Function Prototypes

(a) Function with no Arguments and No Return values

b) Function with No Arguments and Return values

(c) Function with Arguments and No Return values

(d) Function with Arguments and Return values
