C Programming Notes

Notes for Solving C Programming and Discrete Mathematics Questions

1. Recurrence Relations in Algorithm Analysis


Concept:

Recurrence relations define the time complexity of recursive algorithms. The general form is: T (n) =
aT (n/b) + f (n) where:

a is the number of recursive calls,


b is the factor by which the problem size is reduced,
f (n) is the additional work done outside recursion.

Example: Binary Search Worst Case

T (n) = T (n/2) + O(1) Using Master Theorem: O(log n)

2. Tree Traversals in Binary Search Trees (BST)


Concept:

BSTs store elements such that for a node with value N :

Left subtree contains values < N

Right subtree contains values > N

Traversal Orders:

Inorder (LNR): Left, Root, Right (Yields sorted order)

Preorder (NLR): Root, Left, Right

Postorder (LRN): Left, Right, Root

3. Hashing and Collision Resolution


Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 8/18
Concept:

Hashing maps keys to an index using a hash function.

Example: Division Method: h(k) = k mod m


Collision Resolution Techniques:

Chaining: Store colliding keys in a linked list.

Linear Probing: Place key in the next available slot.

4. Basics of C Programming
Data Types and Operators:

Integer (`int`): Stores whole numbers.

Float (`float`): Stores decimal numbers.

Character (`char`): Stores single characters.

Operators: `+`, `-`, `*`, `/`, `%` (modulus).

Example:

int a = 5, b = 2;
printf("%d", a+++++b);

Explanation: Evaluates as `a++ + ++b`.

5. Loops and Conditions


Types of Loops in C:

For Loop: Pre-defined iteration count.

While Loop: Runs while condition is true.

Do-While Loop: Runs at least once.

Example:

int i = 5;
while (i > 0) {
printf("%d", i);
i--;
}

Output: 54321

6. Storage Classes in C

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 9/18
Types:

Auto (default, local scope)

Static (retains value between function calls)

Extern (global visibility across files)

Register (stored in CPU register for faster access)

7. Arrays and Pointers


Concept:

Arrays store multiple values of the same type. Pointers hold memory addresses.

Declaration: `int arr[10];` (Array of 10 integers)

Pointer to an Array: `int *p[5];` (Array of 5 integer pointers)

Example:

int a[10], b[10][10];

Valid left-hand expressions:

`a[i]`

`b[i][j]`

8. Relations in Discrete Mathematics


Concept:

A relation R is a set of ordered pairs (a, b).

Reflexive: Every element is related to itself.

Symmetric: If (a, b) ∈ R, then (b, a) ∈ R.


Transitive: If (a, b) and (b, c) exist, then (a, c) must exist.

Example:

Given R = {(1, 2), (2, 3)}, adding 5 more pairs ensures reflexive, symmetric, and transitive closure.

C Programming Notes

Notes for Solving C Programming and Discrete Mathematics Questions

1. C Programming Concepts
1.1 Storage Classes in C

Auto: Default storage class for local variables.

Register: Suggests the variable be stored in CPU registers.

Static: Preserves the value of a variable between function calls.

Extern: Allows global access to a variable across multiple files.

Volatile: Informs the compiler that a variable may change unexpectedly.

1.2 Functions in C

Call by Value: A copy of the argument is passed.

Call by Reference: A pointer to the original variable is passed.

1.3 Control Statements

Loops (for, while, do-while): Used for iteration.

Conditional Statements (if, else, switch-case): Used for decision-making.

Break and Continue: Break exits the loop; Continue skips the current iteration.

1.4 Arrays and Pointers

Arrays: Collection of elements stored in contiguous memory locations.

Pointers: Variables that store memory addresses.

Pointer Arithmetic: Operations like `ptr++`, `ptr--` modify the address stored.

Pointer to Pointer: Double pointer (`int **ptr`) points to another pointer.

Array vs Pointer Differences

`int arr[5]` vs `int *ptr = arr`

`sizeof(arr)` gives total memory allocated, while `sizeof(ptr)` gives pointer size.

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 11/18
1.5 Functions and Recursion

Recursion is a function calling itself.

Base Case: Condition to stop recursion.

Recursive Case: Function calling itself with modified parameters.

Example:
int factorial(int n) {
if (n == 0) return 1;
return n * factorial(n-1);
}

1.6 Hashing and Hash Tables

Hash Function: Converts key into an index.

Collision Handling Techniques:

Linear Probing: Resolves collisions by checking next available slot.

Chaining: Uses linked lists to store multiple elements in one index.

Quadratic Probing: Checks squared indices (1, 4, 9, ...).

1.7 Time Complexity Analysis

Big-O Notation: Describes worst-case performance.

Common Complexities:

O(1): Constant time (e.g., accessing array element).

O(log n): Logarithmic time (e.g., binary search).

O(n): Linear time (e.g., traversing an array).

O(n log n): Efficient sorting (e.g., Merge Sort, Quick Sort).

O(n²): Nested loops (e.g., Bubble Sort, Selection Sort).

2. Discrete Mathematics Concepts


2.1 Relations and Functions

Reflexive: `(a, a) ∈ R` for all `a` in set.

Symmetric: If `(a, b) ∈ R`, then `(b, a) ∈ R`.

Transitive: If `(a, b) ∈ R` and `(b, c) ∈ R`, then `(a, c) ∈ R`.

Equivalence Relation: A relation that is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.

2.2 Recurrence Relations

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 12/18
Linear Recurrence: `T(n) = aT(n/b) + O(f(n))`

Master Theorem: Used to solve recurrence relations:

`T(n) = aT(n/b) + O(n^d)`

If `d > log_b(a)`, then `T(n) = O(n^d)`.

If `d = log_b(a)`, then `T(n) = O(n^d log n)`.

If `d < log_b(a)`, then `T(n) = O(n^(log_b(a)))`.

2.3 Graph Theory Basics

Adjacency Matrix: `n x n` matrix where `1` represents an edge.

Adjacency List: Stores neighbors for each node.

Graph Traversals:

BFS (Breadth-First Search): Uses queue.

DFS (Depth-First Search): Uses stack or recursion.

2.4 Hashing in Mathematics

Modular Hashing: `h(k) = k mod m`

Collision Resolution: Linear probing, chaining.

Load Factor: `λ = n/m` (n = keys inserted, m = table size).

2.5 Logical Operators

AND (`∧`): True if both inputs are true.

OR (`∨`): True if at least one input is true.

NOT (`¬`): Inverts input.

3. Sample Questions and Solutions


Q1: What is the output of the following C code?

int a = 5, b = 2;
printf("%d", a+++++b);

Solution: This is an invalid expression due to incorrect placement of `++` operators.

Q2: Consider the function call:

void fun(int *p) {


*p = *p + 10;
}
int main() {
int x = 5;

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 13/18
fun(&x);
printf("%d", x);
}
Answer: `x` becomes `15` as the pointer modifies the original variable.

Q3: Find the time complexity of binary search.

Binary search divides input by 2 each step: `T(n) = T(n/2) + O(1)`.

Using recurrence relation: `O(log n)`.

Q4: How many ordered pairs must be added to {(1,2), (2,3)} to make it reflexive,
symmetric, and transitive?

Add (1,1), (2,2), (3,3) for reflexive property.

Add (2,1), (3,2) for symmetry.

Add (1,3) for transitivity.

Total = 5 ordered pairs.

Q5: What is the output of this loop?

for (i = 1; i <= 10; i *= 2)


printf("%d", i);

Output: `1 2 4 8` (i doubles each time until `i > 10`).

Programming Fundamentals
Non-primitive Data Type (String)

A string is a sequence of characters.

In Java, strings are objects of the String class.

Strings are immutable, meaning their values cannot be changed once assigned.

Example Program

public class StringExample {


public static void main(String[] args) {
String str = "Hello, World!";
System.out.println("String: " + str);
System.out.println("Length: " + str.length());
System.out.println("Uppercase: " + str.toUpperCase());
}
}

Java Array Initialization (Prints null)

Arrays in Java are reference types and store memory addresses.

If an array of objects is declared but not initialized, it holds `null` values.

Example Program

public class ArrayNullExample {


public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] arr = new String[5]; // Array of Strings (default values: null)
System.out.println("First element: " + arr[0]); // Prints null
