Lab 02: Introducing C


Programming (01)
Summary
● How to write a C program
● Data types in C
● Pointer in C
● Array in C
● String in C

How to write a C program:

1
Data types in C

Declare variables:

#include <stdio.h>
int main ()
{
// Variable definition:
int a, b;
int c;
float f;
// actual initialization
a =10;
b =20;
c = a + b;
printf("value of c : %d \n", c);
f = 70.0/3.0;
printf("value of f : %f \n", f);
return 0;
}

2
Taking Inputs
scanf(const char *format, ...) function reads input from the standard input stream stdin and scans
that input according to format provided.

Character input:

3
Arrays in C

#include <stdio.h>
int main ()
{
int n[ 10 ]; /* n is an array of 10 integers */
int i,j;
/* initialize elements of array n to 0 */
for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ )
{
n[ i ] = i + 100; /* set element at location i to i + 100 */
}
/* output each array element's value */
for (j = 0; j < 10; j++ )
{
printf("Element[%d] = %d\n", j, n[j] );
}
return 0;
}

Multidimensional Arrays:

#include <stdio.h>
int main ()
{
/* an array with 5 rows and 2 columns*/
int a[5][2] = { {0,0}, {1,2}, {2,4}, {3,6},{4,8}};
int i, j;
/* output each array element's value */
for ( i = 0; i < 5; i++ )
{
for ( j = 0; j < 2; j++ )
{
printf("a[%d][%d] = %d\n", i,j, a[i][j] );
}
}
return 0;
}

Pointers in C
A pointer is a variable whose value is the address of another variable, i.e., direct address of the
memory location. Following are the valid pointer declaration:

An example:

Output will be -

5
Incrementing a Pointer

We prefer using a pointer in our program instead of an array because the variable pointer can be
incremented, unlike the array name which cannot be incremented because it is a constant
pointer. An example is -

The output will be -

6
Strings in C:
Strings are an array of characters ending with NULL in C.

Example program:

Output will be-

Functionalities provided by C -

7
Struct in C:
The struct statement defines a new data type, with more than one member for your program.
The format of the struct statement is -

An example program with struct -

8
The output will be -

Lab Tasks:
1. Write a C program to print your name, date of birth. and mobile number.
2. Write a C program to compute the perimeter and area of a rectangle with a height of 7 inches. and
width of 5 inches.
3. Write a C program to compute the perimeter and area of a circle with a given radius.
4. Write a program in C to store elements in an array and print it.
5. Write a program in C to read n number of values in an array and display it in reverse order
6. Write a C program to convert a given integer (in seconds) to hours, minutes and seconds.
7. Write a C Program to Swap Values of Two Variables.
8. Write a C Program to Print ASCII Value of a given user input.
9. Write a C program to concatenate two strings given by the user.
