Unit 3
IF STATEMENT

PROGRAM 1: Write a C program to print whether the key pressed is alphabet or a

number

#include<stdio.h>
void main(){
char ch;
printf("\n Press alphabet key or a Number Key:");
scanf("%c", &ch);

if(ch>='a' && ch<='z')

printf("\nUser entered %c is a lower case alphabet\n", ch);

if(ch>='A' && ch<='Z')

printf("\nUser entered %c is a upper case alphabet\n", ch);

if(ch>='1' && ch<='9')

printf("\nUser entered %c is a Number\n", ch);
}
Output:

Press alphabet key or a Number Key: g

User entered g is a lower case alphabet

Press alphabet key or a Number Key: P

User entered P is a upper case alphabet

Press a alphabet key or a Number Key: 8

User entered 8 is a Number

float area;
printf("\n Enter C for circle or R for rectangle or S for Square\n");
scanf("%c", &ch);

if(ch=='C'){
printf("\n Enter radius of circle:");
scanf("%d", &r);

loop.
#include<stdio.h>

2. Enter the number: 6

The factorial of 5 is 720

LOOPING CONSTRUCTS (for, while, do-while)

PROGRAM 5:
Write a program that will calculate the sum of every third integer ,
beginning with i=2(i.e, 2+5+8+11+...) for all values of i that are less than 100.
Write in three different ways.

//C program using a do-while loop

#include<stdio.h>
void main(){
int i=2;
int sum =0;
do{
sum += i; //(sum = sum +i)
i=i+3;
}while(i<100);
printf("\n sum of n natural numbers: %d\n\n", sum);
}

//C program using a while loop

#include<stdio.h>
void main(){
int i=2;
int sum =0;
while(i<100){
sum += i; //(sum = sum +i)
i+=3; //i=i+3
}
printf("\n sum of n natural numbers: %d\n\n", sum);
}

//C Program using a for loop

#include<stdio.h>
void main(){
int i;
int sum =0;
for(i=2; i<100; i=i+3){
sum += i; //(sum = sum +i)
}
printf("\n sum of n natural numbers: %d\n\n", sum);
}

Prob 6 WAP to find largest and smallest numbers in given N numbers

#include <stdio.h>

int a[10] = {22,14,28,25,27,21,18,25,26,16};

int main()

int smallest = a[0]; // initial value

int largest = a[0]; // initial value

int n;

for (n=0; n < 10; n++)

printf("%c %d\n", ch1, ch1); // Print charcter and ASCII value

ch1++;

return 0;

Prob 9 WAP to reverse a string in place (second string should not be used)

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

char inpstr[30];

int len=0;
 int i = 0;

char temp;

scanf("%s", inpstr); // note & not required since in C array name is an address

// Find length - number of non-null characters

while (inpstr[i] != '\0')

{ i++;

len++;

// Now swap - first, last - second and last but one ...so on

for (i=0; i < len/2 ; i++)

{ temp = inpstr[i];

inpstr[i] = inpstr[len-1-i]; // array of non-null char has len elements, so last is at len-1

inpstr[len-1-i] = temp;

printf("%s", inpstr);

return 0;

Prob 10. WAP to Check if given string is a palindrome or not

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

char inpstr[30];

int len=0;

int i = 0;
 int pali = 1; // pali is a flag, assume input string is palindrome

scanf("%s", inpstr); // note & not required since in C array name is an address

// Find length - number of non-null characters

while (inpstr[i] != '\0')

{ i++;

len++;

// Now check - first, last - second and last but one ...so on

for (i=0; i < len/2 ; i++)

if (inpstr[i] != inpstr[len-1-i]) // array of non-null char has len elements, so last is at len-1

{pali = 0; // our assumption wrong

break;

if (pali)

printf("input string is a palindrome");

else

printf("inpput string is not palindrome");

return 0;

Prob 11. WAP to read first word (5 characters) of a sentence as character array

int main()
{ char word[5];

int n=0;

char ch;

//Read five characters

for (n=0; n < 5; n++)

{ scanf("%c", &ch);

word[n]=ch;

// Check first charcter

if (word[0] >= 'a' && word[0] <= 'z') // lower case Check

word[0] = word[0] - ('a' - 'A'); // lower case ASCII value > aupper case ASCCI by a fixed
number

for (n=0; n<5; n++)

printf("%c", word[n]);

return 0;
