TWO MARKS
1.Define scanf() function:
Scan f () function is used to read the value from the input device.

2.Define printf () function:

Print f ()function is used to display data on the monitor.

3.Define decision making statement:

These statements are used to execute particular set of instruction for based on cert ain
condition.
Ex:if, if else, nested if, if else if ladder, switch.

4.Define looping statement :

Looping statement are used to execute a group of instruction repeatedly at till some
condition is satisfied.
Example: while, do while, for loop.

5.Define unconditional statement:

This condition is used to transfer the control to other statement without checking any
condition.
Example : goto, break.

6.Define simple if statement:

It is used to execute some statements for a particular condition.

7.Define switch statement :

Switch statement is the simple form of if….else….. If ladder construct. Switch statement
is a multi branch decision statement.

8.Define for statement :

The for loop is entry controlled loop that provides a more concise loop control structure.

9.Define goto statement:

Goto statement can transfer the control to any place in a program. It is useful to provide
branching within a loop.

10.Define break statement:

Break statement exit from the loop can be accomplished by using the break statement.

11.Define exit statement:

It is used to terminate the program it is same as break statement.

12.what is getchar() :
Getchar () function is used to read one character at a time from the standard input
device.

13.Define putchar() :
Single character can be displayed using the function putchar(). The function putchar()
stands for “putchar”and uses an argument.

14. Define Array

Array is a collection of similar type of values
All values are stored in continuous memory locations
All values share a common name
Linear data structure. The elements are organized in a sequential order.

15. Name any two library functions for handling string

strlen() – finds the length of a string. It returns an integer value. It counts the no. of
characters except null character & returns the count
strlen(str)
strcpy() – copies the source string into destination string. So, the source string should
be enough to store the destination string.
strcpy(source,destination)

3. Declare a float array of size 5 and assign 5 values to it

Declaration : float price[5];

Initialization : float price[5]={200.50,150.25,25.5,55.75,40.00}; (or)
float price[]={1.2,3.4,6.5,7.8,9.8};

4. Give an example for initialization of string array

String is a character array.

Collection of one or more characters- enclosed with in double quotes
Declaration : char name[10];
Initialization : char name[10]=‖India‖;
car name[10]={‗I‘,‘n‘,‘d‘,‘i‘,‘a‘};
The char array is terminated by ‗\0‘

5. How a character array is is declared

Declaration : char name[n];

This array can store n-1 characters.
Initialization : char name[10]=‖India‖;
car name[10]={‗I‘,‘n‘,‘d‘,‘i‘,‘a‘};
The char array is terminated by ‗\0‘

6. Write example code to declare two dimensional array

Two dimensional array is an array with two subscript values. First subscript specifies the
row & second subscript specifies the column. Used to process matrix operations.
Declaration : datatype array_name [r][c];

int matrixA[10][10];
This matrixA can store 100 elements in a row major order.

7. What is mean & median of a list of elements?

Mean : Average of the N elements can be computed by

sum of N elements/N
Ex: 2,1,3,4,5
Mean = (2+1+3+4+5)/5 = 3
Median : Middle element of a list. To find the median, the list must be sorted first.
If N is odd then Median= (N+1)/2
Ex: 1,2,3,4,5
Median= 6/2 . The element at 3rd position is the median
If N is even then then Median is the average of
Median= (a[(N+1)/2]+a[(N-1)/2])/2
Ex: 1,2,3,4,5,6
Median=(a[3]+a[2])/2
=4+3/2
=3.5

8. Define Searching

Searching is a process of finding the position of a given element in a list. The searching
is successful if the element is found. There are two types of searching.
Linear Search
Binary Search

9. Define Sorting

Sorting is a process of arranging the elements either in ascending order or descending

order.

10. Sort the following elements using selection sort method. 23,55,16,78,2

Step1:Find smallest element in the list & exchange the element with first element of the
list
2,55,16,78,23
Step2: Find second smallest value & exchange it with the second element of the list
2,16,55,78,23
Step 3: Continue the process until all the elements are arranged in the order
2,16,23,78,55
Step 4: 2,16,23,55,78
