BTCSC201 – Programming for Problem Solving

🔹 Group A – MCQ Section (1 Mark each)


Main Focus Areas:

1. Data Types & Keywords in C


o int, float, char, invalid types like real
o Keywords: for, while, do, etc.
2. Operators
o Arithmetic (%, /), Logical (==, !=, &&, ||), Assignment (=), Ternary (?:)
o Understand precedence and associativity.
3. Pointers & Addressing
o Syntax for pointer declaration
o Use of &, *, and address-related operations
4. Input/Output Functions
o printf, scanf, gets, getchar, etc.
o Correct format specifiers like %d, %f, %c
5. Control Flow
o Loop types: for, while, do-while
o Loop control: break, continue, return
6. Memory Concepts
o sizeof, default values of variables, pointer basics
7. Basic Code Output Prediction
o Pre/post increment, ternary operator, logical expressions, simple conditionals

🔹 Group B – Short Answer Questions (5 Marks)

Must-Prepare Topics:

1. Ternary Operator – Syntax and example


2. Compiler vs Interpreter – At least 3 points difference
3. Entry vs Exit Controlled Loops – while vs do-while with examples
4. Call by Value vs Call by Reference – Function examples
5. Static vs Global Variables – Memory and scope difference with code
6. Recursion & Fibonacci Series
7. Palindrome and Factorial Programs – Must know logic
8. sizeof Operator & Format Specifiers
🔹 Group C – Long Answer Questions (15 Marks)

1. Pattern Printing – Using nested for loops


2. Armstrong Number / 4-digit check / Sum of Digits
3. Sum of first n prime numbers
4. Type Casting & Ternary Operator – Output analysis
5. Preprocessor Directives – #include, #define, #ifdef, etc.
6. Function Concepts: Call by Value, Reference
7. Scope of Variables – Local, Global, Static
8. Arrays – Definition, Advantages, Disadvantages

Practice 5–6 pattern programs and numeric logic-based problems (Armstrong, Prime, Palindrome).
Also prepare theoretical definitions with example codes.
