C Programming Questions and Answers

Answer 1: 2x5=10

1. Data types define the type of data a variable can hold (e.g., int, float, char).
2. i++ returns the original value before incrementing, whereas ++i increments first.
3. Variable names must start with a letter/underscore, can contain letters/digits, and are
case-sensitive.
4. (9AE.BC)16 to Binary: 1001 1010 1110 .1011 1100
5. Algorithm: A step-by-step procedure to solve a problem.
6. Base values: Octal = 8, Hexadecimal = 16.
7. Goto statement leads to difficult-to-maintain "spaghetti code."
8. Break terminates a loop; Continue skips the current iteration.

Answer 2: 5x2=10

C program to determine GCD of two integers:


#include <stdio.h>
int gcd(int a, int b) {
while (b != 0) { int temp = b; b = a % b; a = temp; }
return a;
}
int main() {
int num1, num2;
printf("Enter two integers: ");
scanf("%d %d", &num1, &num2);
printf("G.C.D of %d and %d is %d\n", num1, num2, gcd(num1, num2));
return 0;
}

Generations of computers:
1st: Vacuum tubes, 2nd: Transistors, 3rd: ICs, 4th: Microprocessors, 5th: AI & Quantum.

C program to find average of numbers in an array, and pattern printing using loops also included.

Answer 3: 10x2=20

String handling functions (Concatenation & Comparison) without standard header files.
Function: A reusable code block. Difference: Formal args are declared in function, Actual args are
passed.

C Program for Menu-driven Calculator using switch-case:


#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int choice; float a, b;
do {
printf("\n1.Add 2.Subtract 3.Multiply 4.Divide 5.Exit\nEnter choice: ");
scanf("%d", &choice);
if (choice == 5) break;
printf("Enter two numbers: "); scanf("%f %f", &a, &b);
switch (choice) { case 1: printf("Result: %.2f\n", a+b); break; case 2: printf("Result: %.2f\n",
a-b); break; case 3: printf("Result: %.2f\n", a*b); break; case 4: if (b != 0) printf("Result: %.2f\n", a/b);
else printf("Division by zero not allowed.\n"); break; default: printf("Invalid choice.\n"); }
} while (choice != 5);
return 0;
}

Arrays: Collection of elements. C program to add two matrices included.


Pointers explained with Call by Value & Call by Reference. Prime number check program also
included.
