MODULE-II
QUES. (1) Explain in detail about fundamental data type in ‘C’ language, mentioning their range,
space they occupy in memory and keyword used for their representation in programming.
[5 Marks]
Ans.
DATA TYPE:
Data type tell us about the type of the data, whether it is a character data, integer, or float.
FUNDAMENTAL DATA TYPES IN C:
There are four fundamental data types in C language- char, int, float and double. These data types are also
known as primitive or basic data type.
char: char data type is used for character values such as ‘A’, ‘a’ etc.
int: int data type is used for integer values (Value without decimal point) e.g. -5, 35, etc.
float and double are used for real value (value with decimal point) e.g. -35.89, 45.9876
The following table shows the detail about Fundamental data types-
Data Types Keyword Format Memory Space Range
Character char %c 1 byte -128 to +127
Integer int %d 2 bye -32768 to +32767
Float float %f 4 byte -3.4e38 to +3.4e38
Double double %lf 8 byte -1.7e308 to +1.7e308
Note:- The sizes and ranges of data types are compiler dependent. Sizes in this figure are for 16-bit
compiler, e.g. Turbo C and Turbo C++.

QUES.(2) Explain in detail about various storage classes in ‘C’, mentioning their place and storage,
default initial value, scope and life of each of them. [10 marks]
Ans.
STORAGE CLASSES IN C:
To fully define a variable one needs to mention not only its type but also its storage class.
A variable’s storage class tells us:
(a) Where the variable would be stored.
(b) What will be the initial value of the variable, if initial value is not specifically assigned (i.e. the
default initial value).
(c) What is the scope of the variable; i.e. in which functions the value of the variable would be
available.
(d) What is the life of the variable; i.e. how long would the variable exist.
There are four storage classes in C:
1. Automatic storage class
2. Register storage class
3. Static storage class
4. External storage class
1. Automatic Storage Class
The features of a variable defined to have an automatic storage class are as under:
Storage − Memory.
Default initial value − An unpredictable value, which is often called a garbage value.
Scope − Local to the block in which the variable is defined.
Life − Till the control remains within the block in which the variable is
defined.
Note: The keyword for this storage class is auto. By default the variable’s storage class is auto.
Ex-
int a; // by default auto
auto int a; // auto storage class
2. Register Storage Class
The features of a variable defined to be of register storage class are as under:
Storage - CPU registers.
Default initial value - Garbage value.
Scope - Local to the block in which the variable is defined.
Life - Till the control remains within the block in which the variable is
defined.
* Keyword for register storage class is register.
* A value stored in a CPU register can always be accessed faster than the one that is stored in memory.
ex- register int i ;
3. Static Storage Class

4
The features of a variable defined to have a static storage class are as under:
Storage − Memory.
Default initial value − Zero.
Scope − Local to the block in which the variable is defined.
Life − Value of the variable persists between different function
calls.
Keyword: static
Ex-
static int a;
4. External Storage Class
The features of a variable whose storage class has been defined as external are as follows:
Storage − Memory.
Default initial value − Zero.
Scope − Global.
Life − As long as the program’s execution doesn’t come to an
end.
* Keyword: extern
* External variables are declared outside all functions
ex-
int x;
void main()
{
;
;
;
}

QUES. (3) What is an operator? What are the various types of arithmetic, relational, logical bitwise
and increment and decrement operators? Clearly state their meaning and give example of each.
[10 marks]
Ans.
Operator:
An operator is a special symbol in programming language which performs specified operation on variable
and yields the result.
There are various types of operators in C language-
1. Unary operators
2. Arithmetical operators
3. Relational operators
4. Logical operators
5. Assignment operators
6. Bitwise operators
7. Conditional or Ternary operators
1. Unary operators: It operates on single variable. e.g. –x; a + (-b);
2. Arithmetical operators- Arithmetical/Mathematical operators are used to perform mathematical
operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and modulus.
Operators Meaning
+ Addition
- Subtraction
* Multiplication
/ Division
% Remainder/modulus
Ex-
a = 15;
b = 5;
a + b = 20,
a - b = 10,
a * b = 75,
a / b = 3,
11%3 = 2.
3. Relational Operators- Relation operators are used to check relation between two values. The
relational operators give true or false as result. To make any condition in program these operators are
used.
Operator Meaning
< Less than
> Greater than
= = Equal to
> = Greater than or equal to
< = Less than or equal to
! = Not equal to
4. Logical Operators- Logical operators are used to combine two or more than two conditions.
Operators Meanings
&& And
| | Or
! Not

6
5. Assignment operator- This operator is used to store value in variable. = is assignment operator.
Ex- a = 20; // the value 20 is stored into a
6. Bitwise operators-
One of C’s powerful features is a set of bit manipulation operators. These permit the programmer to
access and manipulate individual bits within a piece of data.
Operator Meaning
~ One’s complement
>> Right shift
<< Left shift
& Bitwise AND
| Bitwise OR
^ Bitwise XOR(Exclusive OR)
Ex-
a=5;
b=~a;
a<<1; // left shift the value of a
b=8;
b>>1; // right shift the value of a
7. Conditional or Ternary operator- ? operator is known as the conditional or ternary operator.
Since there are three argument in this operator, it is known as ternary operator. This operator is
the substitute of if---else.
Syntax:
condition ? True_section : False_section;
Ex-
void main()
{ int a,b;
a=5;
b=(a<10 ? 15 : 20);
printf(“%d”,b);
}

QUES. (4) Write a short note on top-down program development approach. [5 marks]
Ans.
Top-down is a programming style, the mainstay of traditional procedural languages, in which
design begins by specifying complex pieces and then dividing them into successively smaller pieces. The
technique for writing a program using top–down methods is to write a main procedure that names all the
major functions it will need. Later, the programming team looks at the requirements of each of those
functions and the process is repeated. These compartmentalized sub-routines eventually will perform
actions so simple they can be easily and concisely coded. When all the various sub-routines have been
coded the program is ready for testing. By defining how the application comes together at a high level,
lower level work can be self-contained. By defining how the lower level abstractions are expected to
integrate into higher level ones, interfaces become clearly defined.
A top-down approach (also known as stepwise design and in some cases used as a synonym
of decomposition) is essentially the breaking down of a program to gain insight into its compositional
sub-program. Top down approach starts with the big picture. It breaks down from there into smaller
segments

QUES. (5) What is conditional operator? Explain with example. [5 marks]
Ans.
Conditional Operator-
The conditional operator (?) is the substitute of if-else statement. This is also known as ternary operator,
because there are three arguments.
Syntax-
expression_1 ? expression_2 : expression_3
Expression_1 is condition, if the condition is true, the control will come to expression_2 and if the
condition is false, the control will come to expression_3.
Ex-
void main()
{
int a,b;
printf(“n Enter the value of a and b:”);
scanf(“%d%d”,&a,&b);
a>b ? printf(“n a is greater”) : printf(“n b is greater”);
}

9
QUES. (6) What do you mean by operator precedence and associativity of operator.
[5 marks]
Ans.
OPERATOR PRECEDENCE-
Operator precedence is the rank of the operator which decides the priority of operator in which the
operation will be performed. In C language there is no BODOMAS rule, it follow the operator precedence
to solve the expression of mixed operators.
While executing an arithmetic statement, which has two or more operators, we may have some problems
as to how exactly does it get executed.
The priority or precedence in which the operations in an arithmetic statement are performed is called the
hierarchy of operations. The hierarchy of commonly used operators is shown in following table-
Priority Operators Description
1
st
* / % multiplication, division, modular division
2
nd
+ - addition, subtraction
3
rd
= assignment
Ex-1
3 * 5 + 2 * 3
=15+2*3
=15+6
=21
Associativity of Operator- When operators having the same priority levels come together in an
expression, then we follow the Associativity of operators. Associativity is the left-to-right or right-to-left
order for grouping operands to operators that have the same precedence.
Priority Operators Associativity
1
st
* / % Left to right
2
nd
+ - Left to right
3
rd
= Right to left
Ex-
3 * 4 / 2 % 5 // * operator
= 12 / 2 % 5 // / operator
= 6 % 5// % operator
= 1

QUES. (7) Write a program in ‘C’ to input a five digit number through keyboard at run time and
find sum of digits and reverse of number. [5 marks]
Ans.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
long int n, sum, rev;
printf(“n Enter a Five digit number:”);
scanf(“%ld”,&n)
a = n % 10;
n = n / 10;
b = n % 10;
n = n / 10;
c = n % 10;
n = n / 10;
d = n % 10;
n = n / 10;
e = n % 10;
sum = a + b + c + d + e;
rev = a * 10000 + b * 1000 + c * 100 + d * 10 + e;
printf(“n Sum of digits = %ld”,sum);
printf(“n Reverse = %ld”,rev);
getch();
}

11
QUES. (8) What do you mean by type casting? What is difference between implicit and explicit type
casting. Give example. [5 marks]
Ans.
Type Casting- Type casting is a way to convert a variable from one data type to another data type. Type
casting is of two types-
(i) Explicit type casting
(ii) Implicit type casting
(i) Explicit Type Casting- You can convert values from one type to another explicitly using the cast
operator as follows:
(type_name) expression
Ex-
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
int sum = 17, count = 5;
double mean;
mean = (double) sum / count;
printf("Value of mean : %fn", mean );
}
(ii) Implicit Type Casting- Type conversions can be implicit which is performed by the compiler
automatically.
Usual Arithmetic Conversion:
The usual arithmetic conversions are implicitly performed to cast their values in a common type.
Compiler first performs integer promotion;
Ex-
float x; int y 5;
x=y; // y is converted to float automatically
Ex-
void main()
{
float avg1,avg2;
int n, a,b,c,d,e,sum;
scanf(“%d%d%d%d%d”. &a, &b, &c, &d, &e);
sum = a + b + c + d + e;
avg = sum / n; //Implicit type casting
avg = (float) sum / n; //Explicit type casing
printf(“n Avg1 = %f n Avg2 = %f”, avg1, avg2);
}

QUES. (9) Write a program in ‘C’ language to input the value of x, y, and z. Exchange the value of
variable in such a way that x has the value of y, y has the value of z and z has the value of x.
[5 marks]
Ans.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
int x, y, z, t;
printf(“n Enter the value of x, y, and z:”);
scanf(“%d%d%d”,&x, &y, &z);
t = x;
x = y;
y = z;
z = t;
printf(“n x = %d n y = %d n z = %d”, x, y, z);
getch();
}
Output:
Enter the value of x, y, and z: 10 20 30
x = 20
y = 30
z = 10

QUESTIONS TO PRACTICE
Q.10. What is a constant? Define various types of constant in C.
Ans.
Constant- A constant is a fix value, which do not change during the execution of the program.
Types of C Constants
C constants can be divided into two major categories: (a) (b)
1. Primary Constants
(i) Integer Constant: -5, 5
(ii) Real Constant: 3.75, -3.75
(iii) Character Constant: ‘A’
2. Secondary Constants
(i) Array
(ii) Pointer
(iii) Structure
(iv) Union
(v) Enum. etc.

MODULE-III
Q. 1. What is the role of switch statement in ‘C’ programming language? Give the syntax of switch
statement with suitable example. What is the limitation of switch statement? [10]
Ans.
switch() statement is used to make a choice from a number of alternatives. When we have to select only
one option out of many options we use switch statement; rather than using a series of if statements.
Syntax:-
switch ( integer expression )
{
case constant 1 :
do this ;
break;
case constant 2 :
do this ;
break;
case constant 3 :
do this ;
break;
default :
do this ;
}
Note:-
 Expression in switch could be an integer constant like 1, 2 or 3, or an expression that evaluates to
an integer.
 The keyword case is followed by an integer or a character constant. Each constant in each case
must be different from all the others.
Example:-
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main( )
{
int i x;
printf(“n Enter your option from (1-4):”);
scanf(“%d”,&x);
switch ( x )
{
case 1 :
printf ( "I am in case 1 n" ) ;
break ;
case 2 :
break ;

15
case 3 :
break ;
case 4 :
break ;
default :
printf ( "I am in default n" ) ;
}
getch();
}
Limitations of switch statement:
 The disadvantage of switch is that one cannot have a case in a switch which looks like: case i <=
20 : i.e. one can’t check condition
 All that we can have after the case is an int constant or a char constant or an expression that
evaluates to one of these constants. Even a float is not allowed.
switch Versus if-else Ladder
There are some things that you simply cannot do with a switch. These are:
 A float expression cannot be tested using a switch
 Cases can never have variable expressions (for example it is wrong to say case a +3 : )
 Multiple cases cannot use same expressions. Thus the following switch is illegal:
switch ( a )
{
case 3 :
...
case 1 + 2 :
...
}

16
Q. 2. Write the program to find greatest number among three numbers. Also make flow chart.
[10]
Ans.
Program to find greatest number among three numbers:
Source Code-1:
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
float a, b, c;
printf("Enter three numbers: ");
scanf("%f %f %f", &a, &b, &c);
if(a>=b && a>=c)
printf("Largest number = %.2f", a);
else if(b>=a && b>=c)
printf("Largest number = %.2f", b);
else
printf("Largest number = %.2f", c);
}
Source Code-2:
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
float a, b, c;
printf("Enter three numbers: ");
scanf("%f %f %f", &a, &b, &c);
if (a>=b)
{
if(a>=c)
printf("Largest number = %.2f",a);
else
printf("Largest number = %.2f",c);
}
else
{
if(b>=c)
printf("Largest number = %.2f",b);
else
printf("Largest number = %.2f",c);
}
}

17
Q. 3. Differentiate between do-while and while loop. Given a number, write a program in ‘C’ using
while loop using while loop to reverse the number. For example, the number 12345 should be
54321. [10]
Ans.
Differences Between Do-While And While Loop:
1. In while loop the condition is tested first and then the statements are executed if the condition turns out
to be true.
In do while the statements are executed for the first time and then the conditions are tested, if the
condition turns out to be true then the statements are executed again.
2. A do while is used for a block of code that must be executed at least once. These situations tend to be
relatively rare, thus the simple while is more commonly used.
3. A do while loop runs at least once even though the the condition given is false while loop do not run in
case the condition given is false
4. In a while loop the condition is first tested and if it returns true then it goes in the loop, in a do-while
loop the condition is tested at the last.
5. While loop is entry control loop where as do while is exit control loop.
6. Syntax: while loop:
while (condition)
{
Statements;
}
Syntax of do while loop:
do
{
Statements;
}while(condition);

18
Program To Reverse The Number:-
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
int n, reverse=0, rem;
printf("Enter an integer: ");
scanf("%d", &n);
while(n!=0)
{
rem=n%10;
reverse=reverse*10+rem;
n/=10;
}
printf("Reversed Number = %d",reverse);
}

19
Q. 4. Write a program in ‘C’ to input an array of size n and find the maximum and minimum
number of the array. [10]
Ans.
#include <stdio.h>
#define max 100
int main()
{
int a[max], max, min, size, c;
printf("Enter the number of elements in array [max=100]:n");
scanf("%d", &size);
printf("Enter %d integersn", size);
for (c = 0; c < size; c++)
{
scanf("%d", &a[c]);
}
// Finding the maximum and minimum number
max = min = a[0];
for (c = 1; c < size; c++)
{
if (a[c] > max)
{
max = a[c];
}
if (a[c] < min)
{
min=a[c];
}
}
printf("Maximum = %d n Minimum = %d”, max, min);
}

20

printf("Enter number of rows (between 1 and 100): ");
scanf("%d",&r);
printf("Enter number of columns (between 1 and 100): ");

MODULE-IV
Q.1. What is sequential search? Write a program to search a number given by user at run
time. Array elements should be entered at run time in 1-D array. [10 marks]
Ans.
SEQUENTIAL SEARCH:
Sequential search is a method for finding a particular value in a list, which consists of
checking every one of its elements, one at a time and in sequence, until the desired one is
found. It is also known as linear search.
Program for sequential search-
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
int a[100], search, i, n, f=0;
printf("n Enter the number of elements in array: ");
scanf("%d",&n);
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
printf("Enter a number: ");
scanf("%d", &a[i]);
}
printf("Enter the number to searchn");
scanf("%d", &search);
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
if (search==a[i]) /* if required element found */
{
printf("n %d is found at location %d.n", search, c+1);
f=1;
break;
}
}
if (f==0)
printf("n %d is not present in array.n", search);
}

Q.2. What are differences in searching and sorting? Write a program to sort the list
containing ten numbers. [10 marks]
Ans.
SEARCHING: Searching is a method in which we look for an element in the list. Ex- Sequential
searching and Binary searching.
SORTING: In sorting we arrange the data in specified order. The list may be arranged in
ascending order or descending order. If the data is number the ascending order is 1,2,3,4,5….
and so on and descending order is 5,4,3,2,1…. so on. If it is alphabet the ascending order is A
to Z and descending order id Z to A. Ex- Selection sorting and bubble sorting.
Program to sort the list containing ten numbers-
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
int a[10], i, j, t;
//Inputting array elements
for(i = 0; i<10; i++)
{
printf(“n Enter a no.”);
scanf(“%d”,&a[i]);
}
// Sorting array elements:- Selection sorting
for(i = 0; i<10; i++)
{
for(j = i+1; j<10; j++)
{
if(a[i] > a[j])
{
t = a[i];
a[i] = a[j];
a[j] = t;
}
}
}
// Displaying sorted elements
for(i = 0; i<10; i++)
{
printf(“n %d”,a[i]);
}
getch();
}

32
Q.3. What is a string? Write a program in C that allows the user to enter a string and
perform the following operation on it-
(i) Count number of characters in string
(ii) Remove spaces in string
(iii) Count number of words in it. [10 marks]
Ans.
STRING: A group of characters is knows as string. In programming, String is an array of
characters terminated by ‘Null character (0)’. A string constant is enclosed within double
inverted comma (“ “).
A string constant is a one-dimensional array of characters terminated by a null ( ‘0’ ).
For example,
char name[ ] = { 'D', 'E', 'N',’N’,'I', 'S', ' ',’R’,’I’,T’,’C’,’H’,’I’,’E’, '0' } ;
Another way to initialized string-
char name[30]=” Dennis Ritchie” ;
In this case the null character is stored automatically at the end of string. The ASCII value of null
character is 0.
Programs-
(i) Count total number of characters in string
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
char str[80];
int len, i;
printf(“n Enter any string:”);
gets(str);
len = 0;
for(i =0; str[ i ]!=’0’; i++)
{
len = len + 1;
}
printf(“n Length of string = %d”,len);
getch();
}
(ii) Remove spaces in string
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
char str[80];
int i, j;

33
clrscr();
printf("n Enter any string:");
gets(str);
//Removing spaces
for(i =0; str[ i ]!='0'; i++)
{
if(str[i]==32)
{
for(j = i; str[ j ]!='0'; j++)
{
str[j]=str[j+1];
}
i--;
}
}
printf("n After removing spaces, string = %s",str);
getch();
}
(iii) Count number of words in it
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
char str[80];
int words, i;
clrscr();
printf("n Enter any string:");
gets(str);
//Counting number of words
words = 0;
for(i =0; str[ i ]!='0'; i++)
{
if(str[i]==32 && str[i+1] != 32 || str[i+1] == '0')
{
words++;
}
}
printf("n Total number of words = %d", words);
getch();
}

34
Q.4. Write a program which will read a string and rewrite it in the alphabetical order. For
example the word STRING should be written as GINRST. [10 marks]
Ans.
Program to Read a String and Rewrite it in Alphabetical Order-
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string.h>
void main()
{
char a[80], i, j, t;
int len;
clrscr();
printf(“n Enter a string: ”);
gets(a);
// Sorting string:- Selection sorting
len = strlen(a);
for(i = 0; i<len - 1; i++)
{
for(j = i+1; j<len; j++)
{
if(a[i] > a[j])
{
t = a[i];
a[i] = a[j];
a[j] = t;
}
}
}
// Displaying the sorted string
printf(“n %s”,a);
getch();
}

35
Q.5. Write a program to check whether a string is a palindrome string or not. For
example: Naman. [10 marks]
Ans.
Program to Check Whether a String Is a Palindrome String or Not-
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string.h>
void main()
{
char str[80],rev[80];
int i, j;
printf(“n Enter any string:”);
gets(str);
len = strlen(str);
i = 0;
// Reversing the string
for(j = len-1; j>=0; j--)
{
rev[i] = str[j];
i++;
}
str[i]=’0’;
d = strcmp(str, rev);
if(d == 0)
printf(“n String is a palindrome string.”);
else
printf(“n String is Not a palindrome string.”);
getch();
}

36
Q.6. What do you mean by recursion? Give an example of recursive function. [5 marks]
Ans.
RECURSION: In C, it is possible for the functions to call themselves. A function is called
‘recursive’ if a statement within the body of a function calls the same function. Sometimes called
‘circular definition’, recursion is thus the process of defining something in terms of itself.
Example-
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int sumofdigit(int n)
{
int s;
if( n==0 )
return(0);
s = n%10 + sumofdigit(n/10); //Recursion
return(s);
}
void main()
{
int n,s;
clrscr();
n=12345;
s = sumofdigit(n); //Calling the function
printf("n %d", s);
getch();
}
Note- The compiler uses one such data structure called stack for implementing normal as well
as recursive function calls. A stack is a Last In First Out (LIFO) data structure. This means that
the last item to get stored on the stack (often called Push operation) is the first one to get out of
it (often called as Pop operation). You can compare this to the stack of plates in a cafeteria—the
last plate that goes on the stack is the first one to get out of it.

37
Q.7. Write a recursive function to find the factorial of a number passed to it? [5 marks]
Ans.
A Recursive Function to Find the Factorial of a Number Passed To It-
#include<stdio.h>
// Definition of the fuction
int fact(int n)
{
int f;
if(n==1)
return(1);
f = n * fact(n-1);
return(f);
}
void main()
{
int n,f;
n=6;
f = fact(n); // Calling the function
printf("n %d",f);
}

38
Q.8. Write a program in C to copy the contents from one file to another file. [10 marks]
Ans.

#include "stdio.h"
#include<stdlib.h>
void main( )
{
FILE *fs, *ft ;
char ch ;
fs = fopen ( "pr1.c", "r" ) ;
if ( fs == NULL )
{
puts ( "Cannot open source file" ) ;
exit( ) ;
}
ft = fopen ( "pr2.c", "w" ) ;
if ( ft == NULL )
{
puts ( "Cannot open target file" ) ;
fclose ( fs ) ;
exit( ) ;
}
while ( 1 )
{
ch = fgetc ( fs ) ;
if ( ch == EOF )
break ;
else
fputc ( ch, ft ) ;
}
fclose ( fs ) ;
fclose ( ft ) ;
}

#include "stdio.h"
#include<stdlib.h>
void main( )
{
FILE *fp ;
char s[80] ;
fp = fopen ( "INPUT.TXT", "w" ) ;
if ( fp == NULL )
{
puts ( "Cannot open file" ) ;
exit( ) ;
}
printf ( "nEnter a few lines of text:n" ) ;
while ( strlen ( gets ( s ) ) > 0 )
{
fputs ( s, fp ) ;
fputs ( "n", fp ) ;
}
fclose ( fp ) ;
}
// Reads strings from the file and displays them on screen
#include "stdio.h"
#include<stdlib.h>
void main( )
{
FILE *fp ;
char s[80] ;
fp = fopen ( "INPUT.TXT", "r" ) ;
if ( fp == NULL )
{
puts ( "Cannot open file" ) ;
exit( ) ;

# include "stdio.h"
void main( )
{
FILE *fp ;
char ch ;
fp = fopen ( "xyz.c", "r" ) ;
while ( 1 )
{
ch = fgetc ( fp ) ;
if(ch==EOF)
break;
printf(“%c”,ch);
}
fclose ( fp ) ;
}

41
Q.11. What do you mean by structure in C, define? Write a program in C to create a
structure named student having the fields name, class and marks. Store the records of
10 students, show all records of students. Then find the record of that student whose
mark is maximum. [10 marks]
Ans.
STRUCTURE:
Structure provides us the facility to combine mix type of data into single unit. With the
help of structure we can store mix type of data in a single variable. When we create a structure,
a new data type is created. This data type is user defined data type. It is also known as Derived
Data type because it is derived from built in data types.
A structure gathers together, different atoms of information that comprise a given entity. A
structure is a collection of variables under a single name. These variables can be of different
types, and each has a name which is used to select it from the structure. A structure is a
convenient way of grouping several pieces of related information together.
When we have to mange record of books, students, employees or customers, we use structure.
Syntax-
struct structure_name
{
Member variable(s);
};
Ex-
struct BOOK
{
char name[30];
char author[30];
float price;
};
Note: struct BOOK is new data type
Another way to define a structure is-
typedef struct
{
char name[30];
char author[30];
float price;
}BOOK;
 Here, BOOK is new data type
Notes-
 It declares a structure called "BOOK" and states that this structure contains three pieces
of information i.e. name, author and price.

42
 Memory space reserved by structure variable is the sum of memory spaces reserved by
its members.
 Now struct BOOK is a new user defined data type(derived data type)
 struct BOOK x; // declares a variable names x, whose data type is “struct BOOK”.
Program-
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
typedef struct Stu
{
char name[30];
char class[10];
int marks;
} STUDENT;
void main()
{
STUDENT a[10];
int i, max, index;
// Inputting the record of 10 students
for(i = 0; i<10; i++)
{
fflush(stdin); //clears the buffer standard input stream
printf("n Enter name:");
gets(a[i].name);
printf("n Enter Class:");
gets(a[i].class);
printf("n Enter marks:");
scanf("%d",&a[i].marks);
}
// Displaying the record of 10 students
for(i = 0; i<10; i++)
{
printf("nn Name: %s ", a[i].name);
printf("n Class: %s ", a[i].class);
printf("n Marks: %d ", a[i].marks);
getch();
}
// Finding maximum marks
max = a[0].marks;
for(i = 1; i<10; i++)
{
if( a[i].marks > max)

43
{
max = a[i].marks;
index = i;
}
}
// Printing the record of the student whose marks is maximum
printf("n Record of the student having maximum Marks :n ");
printf("n Name: %s ", a[index].name);
printf("n Class: %s ", a[index].class);
printf("n Marks: %d ", a[index].marks);
getch();
}

44
Q.12. What is difference between structure and union? [5 marks]
Ans.
The difference between structure and union is in terms of how the memory is reserved
for them.
STRUCTURE: A structure has a separate memory location for each of its elements and they all
can be used at once.
 We can access all the members of structure at anytime.
 Memory is allocated for all variables.
 All members of structure can be initialized
 'struct' keyword is used to declare structure.
 The memory space reserve by a structure variable is the sum of memory spaces reserve
by its members.
 Each member has its own memory location
 Syntax-
struct struct_name
{
structure element 1;
structure element 2;
----------
----------
structure element n;
}
Union: With a union, you're only supposed to use one of the elements, because they're all
stored at the same spot. This makes it useful when you want to store something that could be
one of several types.
 Only one member of union can be accessed at anytime.
 Allocates memory for variable which variable require more memory.
 Only the first member of a union can be initialized.
 'union' keyword is used to declare union.
 The memory space reserve by a structure variable is the memory spaces reserve by its
largest member.
 Same memory location is shared by all the members at different point of time.
 Syntax-
union union_name
{
union element 1;
union element 2;
----------
----------
union element n;
};

Q.13. A file named DATA contains a series of integers. Write a program to read these
numbers and then write all ‘ODD’ numbers to a file called ODD and all even numbers to a
file called EVEN. [10 marks]
Ans.
Program to Read Numbers and Then Write All ‘ODD’ Numbers to File Called ODD and All
Even Numbers to a File Called EVEN-
# include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
void main( )
{
FILE *fd, *fe, *fo ;
int n;
fd = fopen ( "DATA", "r" ) ;
fe = fopen ( "EVEN", "w" ) ;
fo = fopen ( "ODD", "w" ) ;
while ( (n = getw ( fd )) !=EOF )
{
if(n%2 == 0)
putw(n, fe);
else
putw(n, fo);
}
fclose ( fd ) ;
fclose ( fe ) ;
fclose ( fo ) ;
}

46
Q.14. What is pointer? Why are they required? With reference to pointer define the work
of & operator? Write a program in C to swap two numbers by using pointer variables.
[10 marks]
Ans.
POINTER:
Pointer is a variable, which is used to hold the address of the variable. A pointer variable
can store the address of variable of same data type. For example, to hold the address of integer
variable, a pointer variable of integer type is required. Character pointer can hold the address of
character variable and so on.
Declaration-
int *ip; //ip is an integer pointer it can store the address of only integer variable
Work of & Operator: & operator returns the address of specified variable.
Ex-
int x, *ip;
ip = &x; // address of x is stored in pointer variable ip.
Program in C to swap two numbers by using pointer variables-
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
int a, b, t, *p1, *p2;
a = 30;
b = 40;
p1 = &a;
p2 = &b;
// Swapping the values of a and b by using pointers
t = *p1;
*p1 = *p2;
*p2 = t;
printf(“n Value of a and b after swapping-“);
printf(“n a = %d n b = %d”, a,b);
getch();
}

47
Q.15. Write short note on the following-
(i) Dynamic memory allocation
(ii) malloc and calloc
(iii) stack
(iv) Linked list [10 Marks]
Ans.
(I) DYNAMIC MEMORY ALLOCATION
The process of allocating memory during program execution is called dynamic memory
allocation.
Dynamic memory allocation functions in C:
C language offers 4 dynamic memory allocation functions. They are,
1. malloc()
2. calloc()
3. realloc()
4. free()
S.no Function Syntax
1 malloc () malloc (number *sizeof(int));
2 calloc () calloc (number, sizeof(int));
3 realloc () realloc (pointer_name, number * sizeof(int));
4 free () free (pointer_name);
STATIC MEMORY ALLOCATION AND DYNAMIC MEMORY ALLOCATION:
S.no Static memory allocation
Dynamic memory
allocation
1
In static memory allocation,
memory is allocated while writing
the C program. Actually, user
requested memory will be
allocated at compile time.
In dynamic memory
allocation, memory is
allocated while executing
the program. That means at
run time.
2
Memory size can’t be modified
while execution.
Example: array
Memory size can be
modified while execution.
Example: Linked list

48
(ii) malloc and calloc
malloc()
Allocates the specified number of bytes at the run time and returns a pointer to first
byte of allocated space.
Syntax-
void *malloc(number_of_bytes)
ptr = (typecast *) malloc (sizeof(data));
That is to say it returns a pointer of type void * that is the start in memory of the reserved portion
of size number_of_bytes. If memory cannot be allocated a NULL pointer is returned.
Since a void * is returned the C standard states that this pointer can be converted to any type.
Ex-
char *cp;
cp = malloc(100);
attempts to get 100 bytes and assigns the start address to cp.
int *ip;
ip = (int *) malloc(2)); //typecasting
ip = (int *) malloc(sizeof(int));
ip = (int *) malloc(100*sizeof(int));
Notes:-
 Malloc does not initialise memory (to zero) in any way.
 Some C compilers may require to cast the type of conversion.
calloc()-
Allocates space for array elements, initializes to zero and then returns a pointer to
memory.
Syntax-
void *calloc(num_of_elements, element_size);
Thus to assign 100 integer elements that are all initially zero you would do:
Ex-
int *ip;
ip = (int *) calloc(100, sizeof(int));
Differences between malloc() and calloc()
There are two differences between these functions.

49
1. First, malloc() takes a single argument (the amount of memory to allocate in bytes),
while calloc() needs two arguments (the number of variables to allocate in memory, and the
size in bytes of a single variable).
2. Secondly, malloc() does not initialize the memory allocated, while calloc() initializes all
bytes of the allocated memory block to zero
(III) STACK-
A stack is a Last In First Out (LIFO) data structure. This means that the last item to get
stored on the stack (often called Push operation) is the first one to get out of it (often called as
Pop operation). You can compare this to the stack of plates in a cafeteria—the last plate that
goes on the stack is the first one to get out of it.
There are different ways in which data can be organized. For example, if you are to store five
numbers then we can store them in five different variables, an array, a linked list, a binary tree,
etc. All these different ways of organizing the data are known as data structures
(IV) LINKED LIST
A linked list is a set of dynamically allocated nodes, arranged in such a way that each
node contains one value and one pointer. The pointer always points to the next member of the
list. If the pointer is NULL, then it is the last node in the list.
A linked list is held using a local pointer variable which points to the first item of the list. If that
pointer is also NULL, then the list is considered to be empty.
A linked list whose nodes contain two fields: an integer value and a link to the next node. The last node is
linked to a terminator used to signify the end of the list.
Linked list is a dynamic data structure whose length can be increased or decreased at run time.
Linked lists are among the simplest and most common data structures. They can be used to
implement several other common abstract data types, including lists (the abstract data
type), stacks, queues etc.
Advantages:
 Linked lists are a dynamic data structure, allocating the needed memory when the
program is initiated.
 Insertion and deletion node operations are easily implemented in a linked list.
 Linear data structures such as stacks and queues are easily executed with a linked list.
 They can reduce access time and may expand in real time without memory overhead.
Disadvantages:
 They have a tendency to waste memory due to pointers requiring extra storage space.

50
 Nodes in a linked list must be read in order from the beginning as linked lists are
inherently sequential access.
 Nodes are stored incontiguously, greatly increasing the time required to access
individual elements within the list.
 Difficulties arise in linked lists when it comes to reverse traversing. Singly linked lists are
extremely difficult to navigate backwards, and while doubly linked lists are somewhat
easier to read, memory is wasted in allocating space for a back pointer.
Q.16. Given high level I/O functions file management in C, complete the following- [10]
S.No. Function Operation Syntax
1 fopen()
2 getc()
3 putc()
4 fprintf()
5 getw()
6 putw()
7 fseek()
8 ftell()
9 fscanf()
10 rewind()
11 ftell()
Ans.
File Handling Functions with description and syntax-
S.No. Function Operation Syntax
1 fopen() Creates a new file for use Opens a new
existing file for use
fp=fopen(“filename”,”mode”);
2 fclose Closes a file which has been opened for use fclose(fp);
3 getc() Reads a character from a file c=getc(fp);
4 putc() Writes a character to a file putc(c,fp);
5 fprintf() Writes a set of data values to a file fprintf(fp,”control string”, list);
6 fscanf() Reads a set of data values from a file fscanf(fp,”controlstring”,list);
7 getw() Reads a integer from a file number=getw(fp);
8 putw() Writes an integer to the file putw(number,fp);
9 fseek() Sets the position to a desired point in the file fseek ( fp, -recsize, SEEK_CUR ) ;
);
10 rewind() Sets the position to the beginning of the file rewind(fp);
11 ftell() Gives the current position in the file n= ftell(fp);
Note-
 Here, -recsize moves the pointer back by recsize bytes from the current position.
SEEK_CUR is a macro defined in “stdio.h”.
