23ES207 - Advanced C and Python Programming: 2 MARKS WITH ANSWER

1. What will be the values for argc and argv[] when the input “run with my values” is
passed as command line arguments?

 argc = 4

 argv values:

o argv[0] = "run"

o argv[1] = "with"

o argv[2] = "my"

o argv[3] = "values"

2. Write about different error handling functions on files.

 ferror(FILE *fp) – Detects an error with the file.

 feof(FILE *fp) – Detects end of file.

 perror("msg") – Displays system error message.

 clearerr(FILE *fp) – Resets error and EOF indicators.

3. Describe the prototype of the function fopen().

FILE *fopen(const char *filename, const char *mode);

 Opens a file with the specified mode like "r", "w", "a", etc.

4. Write a C program to get name and marks of n number of students from user and store
them in a file.

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

FILE *f = fopen("students.txt", "w");

int n; char name[50]; float marks;

printf("Enter number of students: ");

scanf("%d", &n);
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {

printf("Enter name and marks: ");

scanf("%s %f", name, &marks);

fprintf(f, "%s %.2f\n", name, marks);

fclose(f);

return 0;

Execution:

Enter number of students: 2

Enter name and marks: Ravi 88.5

Enter name and marks: Kavi 92.0

Output (in students.txt):

Ravi 88.50

Kavi 92.00

5. Outline the logic to swap the contents of two identifiers without using a third variable.

int a = 5, b = 10;

a = a + b;

b = a - b;

a = a - b;

Output:

a = 10, b = 5

6. Analyze different ways to manipulate strings in Python.

s = "hello"

print(s.upper()) # HELLO

print(s[1:4]) # ell
print(s * 2) # hellohello

print(s.replace("l", "x")) # hexxo

7. Point out the rules to be followed for naming any identifier.

 Start with a letter or underscore.

 Can contain digits, letters, underscores.

 Cannot use keywords.

 Case-sensitive.

8. State about logical operators available in Python language with example.

a = True

b = False

print(a and b) # False

print(a or b) # True

print(not a) # False

9. Give the various data types in Python.

 int, float, complex

 bool, str

 list, tuple, set, dict

10. Name any two functions used in Random Access files and specify their use in C
Programming.

 fseek(): Moves the file pointer.

 ftell(): Returns current pointer position.

11. Write short notes on i. fgets() ii. fputs()

char str[50];
FILE *f = fopen("sample.txt", "r");

fgets(str, 50, f); // Reads a line

fclose(f);

f = fopen("output.txt", "w");

fputs(str, f); // Writes a line

fclose(f);

12. What will be the impact if fclose() function is avoided in a file handling C program?

 Data might not be written (buffered).

 File stays open, causing memory leaks.

 May corrupt file or lock access.

13. Write a C Program to Copy one file content into another file.

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

FILE *src = fopen("source.txt", "r");

FILE *dest = fopen("copy.txt", "w");

char ch;

while ((ch = fgetc(src)) != EOF)

fputc(ch, dest);

fclose(src);

fclose(dest);

return 0;

Input (source.txt):

Advanced C Programming

Output (copy.txt):
Advanced C Programming

14. Write a program to iterate a range using continue statement.

for i in range(5):

if i == 2:

continue

print(i)

Output:

15. Justify the effects of slicing operations on an array.

arr = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]

print(arr[1:4]) # [20, 30, 40]

 Slicing extracts parts without modifying original list.

16. Present the flow of execution for a while statement.

i=1

while i <= 3:

print(i)

i += 1

Output:

3
17. Comment with an example on the use of local and global variable with the same
identifier name.

x = 100 # Global variable

def func():

x = 50 # Local variable

print("Local x:", x)

func()

print("Global x:", x)

Output:

Local x: 50

Global x: 100

18. Describe various methods used on a string. (Any Four)

s = "Welcome"

print(s.upper()) # WELCOME

print(s.lower()) # welcome

print(s.find("co")) # 3

print(s.replace("e", "*")) # W*lcom*
