Sl. List of problems for which student should develop program and execute Contact
No. in the Laboratory Hours
Week 1: (2D Array)
• Develop a C program to test whether a given matrix of order M × N is an upper
triangular matrix or not. An upper triangular matrix is the one in which all the
elements below its principal diagonal are zero.
1. • Write a C program to read two square matrices of non-zero elements of order M
X M and then subtract the elements of the second matrix from the first matrix.
Then display the resultant matrix to the console.
• Develop a C program to read a square matrix M x M & then find the sum of the
elements around the peripheral. Display their final sum to the console.
Week 2: (2D Array)
• Develop a C program to accept the names in a 2-D array and then search a name
entered by the user. Display an appropriate message to the output screen if
found.
• Develop a C program to read two square binary matrices of order N x N from the
2. user and perform the XOR on the elements of the matrices and print the resultant
matrix to the output screen.
• Design a UDF that returns the by swapping all the elements about the principal
diagonal of a matrix. Develop a C program to implement the function by accepting
the rows and columns in the main program. Display the swapped matrix in the
calling program.

Week 3: (Character Arrays and Strings)

• Write a C program to read a sentence from the user and replace all the
occurrences of vowels with a X character. Display the modified string to the
console.
• Develop a C program to concatenate two strings and display the concatenated
string to the output screen without using the inbuilt function.
Sample Input:
Input string1: Good (Space is typed after Good)
Input string2: Afternoon
3. Output: Good Afternoon
• Write a C program that accepts a main string along with a starting position and
ending position of a substring to be extracted from the user in the main program.
Print the extracted string in the calling program.
Sample Input:
Main String: A good education transforms an individual into a good citizen
Starting Position: 18
Ending Position: 27
Output:
Sub-string extracted from the main string: transforms
4. Week 4: (Character Arrays and Strings)
 • Develop a C program to compare two strings using a UDF and return 1 if the
strings are equal and 0 otherwise without using the built-in function strcmp().
Display an appropriate message to the output screen.
Sample Input:
Enter two strings Welcome welcome
Output:
The Strings are not equal.
• Develop a C program to find the number of occurrences of each alphabet in a
string accepted from the user and display the same to the output screen. Assume
that the string contains only alphabets.
• Write a C program to accept the string from the user and then reverse string
without using the second string.
Input:
Enter the string: Artificial
Output: laicifitrA
Week 5: (Pointers)
• Design a UDF in C to find the product and quotient of two numbers passed to it
from the calling program. Display the product and the quotient in the main
program. Read the two numbers in the main program & also display their product
and quotient. Implement using a pointer.
• Write a C program to accept & store N real numbers into an array. Find their mean
and standard deviation using pointers and display the same to the output screen.
Sample Input:
N=9 Array[ ] = {22, -3, 11, -2, 5, 7,12,13, 18}
Output:
Mean μ : 9.22 Std. Deviation: 7.91
Hint: Use Std. Deviation formula:
5.

N = the size of the population, xi = each value from the population µ = the
population mean.
• Write a C program to accept N integers from the user into an array. If any integer
is positive then subtract 2 from it, if integer is negative add 1 to it and if zero then
do nothing. Implement a UDF using a pointer to perform these operations and
finally display the modified array to the screen in the calling program.
Sample Input:
1 3 -5 0 8 -4 -1
Output:
-1 1 -4 0 6 -3 0
Week 6: (Pointers & Strings)
• Design a UDF using pointer that returns 1 if the string is a palindrome otherwise
zero. Accept a string from user in the calling program. Display an appropriate
6.
message in the calling program. Implement a C program for the same. Ignore
the case.
Sample Input/Output:
 Input:
Enter a String: Rotator
Output:
Rotator is a palindrome
• Design a UDF that returns the count of special characters present in a sentence
passed to it using pointer to the calling program. Implement a C program to read
a string in the main program and display all the count of the special characters
returned by the function to the console.
Sample Input:
Enter a String: Rotation%# is$? ?rotating $motion?
Output:
Special Character Count: 10
• Design a UDF that takes a single string and a character present in the string as
its argument, then it returns an index to the first occurrence of the character to
the string. Write a C program to read a sentence in the main program and display
the string from the index returned by the UDF using a pointer to the console.
Sample Input:
Jack and Jill went up the hill
Search Character: ‘w’
Output: went up the hill
Week 7: (Pointers)
• Write a C program to dynamically allocate memory for an integer array of size N,

• Write a C program to dynamically allocate memory for two user-input strings,
7. concatenate them into a new dynamically allocated string, print the result and free
all allocated memory.
