 Preface
I am glad to present this book, especially designed to serve the needs
of the students. The book has been written keeping in mind the general
weakness in understanding the fundamental concepts of the topics. The book is
self-explanatory and adopts the “Teach Yourself” style. It is based on question-answer
pattern. The language of book is quite easy and understandable based on scientific
approach.
This book covers basic concepts related to the microbial understandings about
diversity, structure, economic aspects, bacterial and viral reproduction etc.
Any further improvement in the contents of the book by making corrections,
omission and inclusion is keen to be achieved based on suggestions from the readers
for which the author shall be obliged.
I acknowledge special thanks to Mr. Rajeev Biyani, Chairman & Dr. Sanjay Biyani,
Director (Acad.) Biyani Group of Colleges, who are the backbones and main concept
provider and also have been constant source of motivation throughout this Endeavour.
They played an active role in coordinating the various stages of this Endeavour and
spearheaded the publishing work.
I look forward to receiving valuable suggestions from professors of various
educational institutions, other faculty members and students for improvement of the
quality of the book. The reader may feel free to send in their comments and suggestions
to the under mentioned address.

Q.3 Define different types of Operators.

Ans.: An operator is a symbol which helps the user to command the computer to do a
certain mathematical or logical manipulations. Operators are used in C language
program to operate on data and variables. C has a rich set of operators which can
be classified as

(1) Arithmetic Operators

(2) Relational Operators
(3) Logical Operators
(4) Assignment Operators
(5) Increments and Decrement Operators
(6) Conditional Operators
(7) Bitwise Operators
(8) Special Operators

(1) Arithmetic Operators : All the basic arithmetic operations can be carried
out in C. All the operators have almost the same meaning as in other
languages. Both unary and binary operations are available in C language.
Unary operations operate on a singe operand, therefore the number 5
when operated by unary – will have the value –5.

Arithmetic Operators

Operator Meaning

+ Addition or Unary Plus

– Subtraction or Unary Minus

* Multiplication

/ Division

% Modulus Operator

Examples of arithmetic operators are :

x+y
x-y
-x + y
a*b+c
-a * b
etc.,
here a, b, c, x, y are known as operands. The modulus operator is a special
operator in C language which evaluates the remainder of the operands
after division.
Example :
.
#include //include header file stdio.h
void main() //tell the compiler the start of the program
{
int numb1, num2, sum, sub, mul, div, mod; //declaration of variables
scanf (“%d %d”, &num1, &num2); //inputs the operands

 sum = num1+num2; //addition of numbers and storing in sum.
printf(“\n Thu sum is = %d”, sum); //display the output
sub = num1-num2; //subtraction of numbers and storing in sub.
printf(“\n Thu difference is = %d”, sub); //display the output
mul = num1*num2; //multiplication of numbers and storing in mul.
printf(“\n Thu product is = %d”, mul); //display the output
div = num1/num2; //division of numbers and storing in div.
printf(“\n Thu division is = %d”, div); //display the output
mod = num1%num2; //modulus of numbers and storing in mod.
printf(“\n Thu modulus is = %d”, mod); //display the output
}
.
Integer Arithmetic : When an arithmetic operation is performed on two
whole numbers or integers than such an operation is called as integer
arithmetic. It always gives an integer as the result. Let x = 27 and y = 5 be
2 integer numbers. Then the integer operation leads to the following
results :
x + y = 32
x – y = 22
x * y = 115
x%y=2
x/y=5
In integer division the fractional part is truncated.
Floating Point Arithmetic : When an arithmetic operation is preformed on
two real numbers or fraction numbers such an operation is called floating
point arithmetic. The floating point results can be truncated according to
the properties requirement. The remainder operator is not applicable for
floating point arithmetic operands.
Let x = 14.0 and y = 4.0 then
x + y = 18.0
x – y = 10.0
x * y = 56.0
x / y = 3.50

 Mixed mode arithmetic : When one of the operand is real and other is an
integer and if the arithmetic operation is carried out on these 2 operands
then it is called as mixed mode arithmetic. If any one operand is of real
type then the result will always be real thus 15/10.0 = 1.5.

(2) Relational Operators : Often it is required to compare the relationship

between operands and bring out a decision and program accordingly.
This is when the relational operator come into picture. C supports the
following relational operators.

Relational Operators

Operator Meaning

< is less than

<= is less than or equal to

> is greater than

>= is greater than or equal to

== is equal to

!= is not equal to

It is required to compare the marks of 2 students, salary of 2 persons, we

can ompare them using relational operators.
A simple relational expression contains only one relational operator and
takes the following form :
exp1 relational operator exp2
Where exp1 and exp2 are expressions, which may be simple constants,
variables or combination of them. Given below is a list of examples of
relational expressions and evaluated values.
6.5 <= 25 TRUE
-65 > 0 FALSE
10 < 7 + 5 TRUE

 Relational expressions are used in decision making statements of C
language such as if, while and for statements to decide the course of action
of a running program.
(3) Logical Operators : C has the following logical operators, they compare or
evaluate logical and relational expressions.

Logical Operators

Operator Meaning

&& Logical AND

|| Logical OR

! Logical NOT

Logical AND (&&) : This operator is used to evaluate 2 conditions or

expressions with relational operators simultaneously. If both the
expressions to the left and to the right of the logical operator is true then
the whole compound expression is true.
Example :
a > b && x = = 10
The expression to the left is a > b and that on the right is x == 10 the whole
expression is true only if both expressions are true i.e., if a is greater than b
and x is equal to 10.
Logical OR (||) : The logical OR is used to combine 2 expressions or the
condition evaluates to true if any one of the 2 expressions is true.
Example :
a < m || a < n
The expression evaluates to true if any one of them is true or if both of
them are true. It evaluates to true if a is less than either m or n and when a
is less than both m and n.
Logical NOT (!) : The logical not operator takes single expression and
evaluates to true if the expression is false and evaluates to false if the
expression is true. In other words it just reverses the value of the
expression.
For example :

 ! (x >= y)
The NOT expression evaluates to true only if the value of x is neither
greater than or equal to y.
(4) Assignment Operators : The Assignment Operator evaluates an
expression on the right of the expression and substitutes it to the value or
variable on the left of the expression.
Example :
x=a+b
Here the value of a+b is evaluated and substituted to the variable x.
In addition, C has a set of shorthand assignment operators of the form.
var oper = exp;
Here var is a variable, exp is an expression and oper is a C binary
arithmetic operator. The operator oper = is known as shorthand
assignment operator.
Example :
x + = 1 is same as x = x + 1
The commonly used shorthand assignment operators are as follows:

Shorthand Assignment Operators

Statement with simple Statement with

assignment operator shorthand operator

a=a+1 a += 1

a=a–1 a -= 1

a = a * (n+1) a *= (n+1)

a = a / (n+1) a /= (n+1)

a=a%b a %= b

Example for using shorthand assignment operator :

.
#define N 100 //creates a variable N with constant value 100
#define A 2 //creates a variable A with constant value 2

 main() //start of the program
{
int a; //variable a declaration
a = A; //assigns value 2 to a
while (a < N) //while value of a is less than N
{ //evaluate or do the following
printf(“%d \n”,a); //print the current value of a
a *= a; //shorthand form of a = a * a
} //end of the loop
} //end of the program
.
Using ifs to decide on a discount
#include <stdio.h>
void main() {
const double price = 3.50; /* price*/
int quantity = 0;
printf("Enter the number that you want to buy:"); /* Prompt message */
scanf(" %d", &quantity); /* Read the input */
/* Test for order quantity qualifying for a discount */
if( quantity>20) /* 5% discount */
printf("The price for %d is $%.2f\n", quantity, quantity * price * 0.95);
else
/* No discount */
printf("The price for %d is $%.2f\n", quantity, quantity * price); }
include <stdio.h>
void main()

{
int number = 0;
printf("\nEnter an integer between 1 and 10: ");
scanf("%d",&number);
if (number > 7)
printf("You entered %d which is greater than 7\n", number);
if (number < 3)
printf("You entered %d which is less than 3\n", number);

 CHAPTER-5

Operating System - DOS

Q.1. What is Operating System? Explain its function.

Ans.: An operating system provides a uses interface, through which a user interacts
with a computer. If acts as a resource manager for the computer, and allocates
resources to the user.
Q.2. Describe the commands in DOS? Name the commands with their syntax.
Ans.: DOS commands are small programs, which are made to perform a particular job.
Every DOS command performs different task. It is not possible to work on the
computer without these commands. There are two types of DOS commands –
(1) Internal Commands
(2) External Commands
Internal Commands : These commands enter into the computer memory during
computer booting. These commands are not in the form of any file; so neither
they can be viewed nor can be edited or detected. For example : MD, CD, TIME,
DATE, COPY, COPR CON, TYPE ETC.
External Commands : These commands are stored in the computer list in the
form of files. These Commands can be viewed, copied, changed or deleted. For
example : FORMAT, COPY, PRINT, SYS, EDIT, TREE, SORT, PROMPT etc.
Important Internal DOS Commands :
(i) MD (Make Directory) : We use this commands to make a new directory
or sub directory.
Syntax : e:1>MD DIRECTORY NAME ↔
Example : MD STUDENT ↔
(ii) CD (Change Directory) : This commands is used to move from one
directory to another.
Syntax : C:\> CD Directory name ↔
Example : > CD Student ↔
Exit to Directory :
CD… - The command move the subdirectory to parent directory.
CD\ -The command is used to move directly to the root directory.

(iii) RD (Remove Directory) : If a Directory which was earlier is ;not required
than such directory can be removed by using syntax :
C:\> RD Directory name ↔
Example : >RD student ↔
Note : (a) The directory, which is to be removed, must be empty.
(b) The directory in which one is working cannot be removed.
One has to close the directory and come to the parent
directory to remove that directory.
(iv) Copy Con : Its command is used to create a file. The name of the file,
which is to be created, is written after the copy Con leaving one space in
between syntax :
Copy Con file name ↔
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
To created a file, the following steps are :
(i) Type Copy Con Monu and press Enter.
(ii) Type whatever is to be typed in the file.
(iii) Press F6 function key or CTRL + Z keys ‘∆Z’ will be displayed on
the screen, which indicates that the file is complete.
(iv) Press Enter and after that the DOS will save the file and will
display the message ‘1 File(s) copied.
(v) Del : This command is used to erase the files which are no longer
required.
Syntax : C:\> Del < File name >
Example : >Del Monu ↔
(vi) Type : This command is used to view the contents of text file.
Syntax : Type <file name>
(vii) Copy : This command is used to copy of file from one place to another
place. A copy of file is another file with the same contents.
Syntax : C:1> copy <source> < destination path>
(viii) Ren : This command is used to rename the file. In REN command two
parameters are used. The first is the file we want to rename and the
second is the new name for the file.
Syntax : > Ren <old file name> <New file name>

Q.3. Differentiate between File and Directory.

Ans.: All the data on our hard drive consists of files and folders.
The basic difference between the two is that files store data, while directory store
files and other sub directory. The Directory, often referred to as directories, are
used to organize files on our computer. The directory themselves take up
virtually no space on the hard drive. Files, on the other hand, can range from
few bytes to several gigabytes.
Q.4. What is ‘Wild Card’? Explain.
Ans.: Wild cards are symbols that let your reference groups of related files. DOS wild
cards are the “*” and “?”.
The asterisk (*) – The asterisk takes the value of any number of characters.
The Question Mark (?) – The question mark matches any single character.
Practical Questions :
I. Make Directories in the following structure using DOS commands :
INDIA
Delhi Rajasthan Punjab
Jaipur Sikar Chandigarh Patiala
a) Make a file named Tourist and type names of any three tourist place in
Jaipur directory.
b) Make a file named Tourist I and type names of any one tourist place in
Chandigarh directory.
c) Make file named RedFort.LTxt and Chandnichowk.Txt. in Delhi directory
(Type same text in these files).
d) Copy Redfort Txt in Sikar directory.
e) Rename Sikar directory as New Delhi.
f) Remove Patiala directory.
