C Programming - BESCK104E/204E

Module 5: Complete Answers

Q1. Define a pointer and explain the declaration and initialization of a pointer variable with an

example.

A pointer is a variable that stores the address of another variable.

Declaration:

int *ptr;

Initialization:

int x = 10; ptr = &x;

Accessing value:

printf("%d", *ptr);

Q2. Define a structure and explain its declaration and initialization with an example.

A structure is a user-defined data type that groups variables of different types.

Declaration:

struct Student {

int id;

char name[20];

float marks;

};

Initialization:

struct Student s1 = {1, "John", 89.5};

Q3. Explain how members of a structure are accessed, initialized, and declared.

Declaration:

struct Student s1;

Initialization:

s1.id = 101;

strcpy(s1.name, "Ravi"); s1.marks = 95.5;


Access:

printf("%d %s %.2f", s1.id, s1.name, s1.marks);

Q4. Implement structures to read, write and compute average marks and the students scoring above

and below the average marks for a class of N students.

#include <stdio.h>

struct Student {

char name[20];

float marks;

};

int main() {

struct Student s[100];

int n; float sum = 0, avg;

printf("Enter number of students: ");

scanf("%d", &n);

for(int i=0; i<n; i++) {

printf("Enter name and marks: ");

scanf("%s %f", s[i].name, &s[i].marks);

sum += s[i].marks;

avg = sum / n;

printf("Above average:\n");

for(int i=0;i<n;i++) if(s[i].marks > avg) printf("%s %.2f\n", s[i].name, s[i].marks);

printf("Below average:\n");

for(int i=0;i<n;i++) if(s[i].marks < avg) printf("%s %.2f\n", s[i].name, s[i].marks);

return 0;

Q5. Develop a program using pointers to compute the sum, mean, and standard deviation of all

elements stored in an array of N real numbers.

#include <stdio.h>

#include <math.h>

int main() {
float arr[100], *p, sum = 0, mean, sd = 0;

int n, i;

printf("Enter number of elements: ");

scanf("%d", &n);

p = arr;

for(i=0; i<n; i++) {

scanf("%f", p+i);

sum += *(p+i);

mean = sum / n;

for(i=0; i<n; i++) {

sd += pow(*(p+i) - mean, 2);

sd = sqrt(sd / n);

printf("Sum = %.2f\nMean = %.2f\nSD = %.2f\n", sum, mean, sd);

return 0;
