It is used to solve optimization problem. We can select one best solution from
several solutions by using this method.

c. Branch and Bound:-

When several statements are executed repeatedly at that time this algorithm is used.

d. Recursion:-

When procedure call itself is called recursion.

Q-3 What is Header file? List out different header files.

A header file is a file with extension .h which contains C function declarations to be shared
between several source files.

There are two types of header files: the files that the programmer writes and the files that come
with your compiler.

You request the use of a header file in your program by including it, with the C
preprocessing directive #include like you have seen inclusion of stdio.h header file, which comes
along with your compiler.

Both user and system header files are included using the preprocessing directive #include.

List of Header Files Are:

1. STDIO

2. CONIO

3. MATH

4. STRING

Q.5 why C is known as structured language.

Answer:

C is known as structured language because C program can be divided into different parts.
Some of the parts are optional and some parts are compulsory.

Optional part is written as per requirement of program and compulsory part is written
necessary. If compulsory part is not written then program is not compile or run.

In short compulsory part is written in proper structure and it is given by C

language so that it is known as structured language.

Q.6 Why C is known as middle level language.

Answer:
C is known as middle level language because it provides functionality of both low level and
high level language. Binary or assembly functionality of low level language and modular
programming, backup functionality of high level language. That both functionality provided
by C.

C provides good programming compared to low level language and good machine efficiency
as compared to high level language.

Data Types

integer floating character

int short int long int float double long double signed unsigned

Fundamental data type

Integer Types: integer means it can be store only 16 or 32 bits data. If

we can store more than that data then we can used short or long int.
▪ To used integer number in program declare variable as int.
▪ Long or short are used to increase the range of values.
▪ A signed integer used for one bit for sign and 15 bits for value.

Floating Types: floating is used to store only real number. It can be store
only 32 bits.
By default it can be used 6 digits after floating point. To used real number in
program declare variable as float.

Double Types: double is used to store double accuracy floating number. It

can be store only 64 bits.
By default it can be used 14 digits after floating point. To used real number in
program declare variable as float.

Character Types: Character is used to store only single character. It can be

store only 8 bits.
When you can declare a variable as a char than value of variable must be
written in single or double quote.

Q. 15 What is Symbolic constant? How to define it?

The general syntax of defining symbolic constant is given below:

10
 Sem.: 1st C.E.
Subject: C.P.

(1) #define is a preprocessor directive which is used to defined symbolic

(2) Symbolic name is a name of the constant, which we want to define.

(3) Value of the constant represents the value, which we want to assign to the

Example:

#define PIE 3.14

#define symbolic-name value of the constant

Rules of defining symbolic constant:

1) The rules for naming symbolic constant are same as the rules for naming variables.
Symbolic names are written in capital letters to distinguish them from the normal variable.

2) There should be no blank space between the pound sign ‘#’ and the word defines.

3) ‘#’ must be the first character in the line.

4) A blank space is required between #define and symbolic name and between the symbolic
name and the value.

5) #define statement must not end with a semicolon.

6) After defining the symbolic constant they should not be assigned any other value in the
program.

7) There is no need to declare data type for the symbolic constant. The data type depends on
the type of the constant.

8) #define statement may appear anywhere in the program but before it is referenced in the
program.

Q.16 Explain storage classes.

Storage Meaning
Class
Auto Local variable are stored in auto storage class. By default all variables are
having auto storage class when they are declared.
It can be declared as int x, y, z; OR auto int x, y, z;
Static It retains the value even if the control is transferred to the function when it is
called. Local variables are stored.
It can be declared as static int x;

11
 Sem.: 1st C.E.
Subject: C.P.

Register The variable with the register storage class are stored in computer register
rather than in the memory so we can fast access this variables.
It can be declared as register int x;
Extern Global variables are declared in this storage class.
It can be declared as extern int x;

Q.17 What is operator? List various operators available in c.

Various operator available in C are as follows:

An operator is a symbol that tell the computer the perform certain Mathematical or logical
manipulation.

Operators are always associated with operands. Depending upon number of operator there are
basically three types of operators.

1) Binary operator: The operator which has two operands is known as binary operator.
Example :a+b

2) Unary operator: The operator which has one operand is known as unary operator.
Example : -a

3) Ternary operator: The operator which has three operands is known as ternary operator.
Example: (a>b)?a:b

➢ Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division in when the both operands are integers the
result is always integers. if one or both operands are real the result is real.

The arithmetic operator support by c language as bellow.

1) Unary plus(+):
➢ It multiplier the operand by +1
➢ Example :+a

2) Unary minus(-):
➢ It multiplier the operand by +1
➢ Example: -a
3) Binary plus(+):
➢ It add two operands.
➢ Example : a+b
4) Binary minus(-):
➢ It subtracts two operands.
➢ Example :a-b
5) Multiplication(*):
➢ It multipliers two operands
➢ Example :a*b
6) Division(/) :
➢ It division one operand by another operand.
➢ Example: a/b
7) Modulo operator (%):
➢ It divides one operand by another operand and produce reminder of the
division.
➢ Example :a%b
➢ Modulo operator does not work with floating point data. It only works with
the integer data.
Now assume that a=5 and b=2 then

1) +a=5
2) –b=-2
3) a+b =7
4) a-b =3
5) a*b =10
6) a/b =2
7) a%b =1

Q.19 Explain Relational operators with example?

13
 Sem.: 1st C.E.
Subject: C.P.

➢ Relational operators are used for comparisons.

➢ If we want to take decision based on certain condition at that time we have to use
relational operator.
➢ An expression, which contains relational operator, is known as relational expression.
➢ The relational expression returns either TRUE(1) or FALSE(0) based on result of
condition

➢ The relational operator support by c language is given bellow.

i) Equal to(= =):
• It compares two operands and return TRUE (1) if both operands are equal.
ii) Not equal to (! =)
• It compares two operands and return TRUE (1) if both operands are not equal.
iii) Less than(<):
• It compares two operands and return TRUE (1) if operand1 is less than operand2.
iv) Less than equal to(<=):
• It compares two operands and return TRUE (1) if operand1 is less than or equal
to operand2.
v) Greater than(>):
• It compares two operands and return TRUE (1) if operand1 is greater than
operand2.
vi) Greater than equal to(>=):
• It compares two operands and return TRUE (1) if operand1 is greater than or
equal to operand2.
Examples:

Suppose a=5, b=7

1) a= =b false
2) a!=b true
3) a<b true
4) a<=b true
5) a>b false
6) a>=b false

Q.20 Explain Logical operators with example?

➢ Logical operators are used when we want to combine more than one condition.
➢ An expression, which combines more than one condition, is known as logical
expression or compound relational expression.
➢ The logical expression returns either true (1) or false (0) value based on conditions and
truth table.

14
 Sem.: 1st C.E.
Subject: C.P.

➢ The logical operator supported by c language is given bellow:

1) Logical AND(&&):
➢ The truth table logical AND (&&) operator is given below:

False True False
True False False
True True True

➢ If all the condition is true then it returns true otherwise false.

2) Logical OR(||):
➢ The truth table logical OR (||) operator is given below:
False False False
False True True
True False True
True True True

➢ If all the condition is false then it returns false otherwise true.

3) Logical NOT (!):

➢ The truth table logical NOT (!) operator is given below:

False True
True False

➢ Examples :

15
 Sem.: 1st C.E.
Subject: C.P.

Suppose a=5, b=3, c=6;

1) (a>b) && (a>c) -false

2) (a>b) || (a>c) -true
3) !(a>b) -false

Q.21 Explain Assignment operators with example?

➢ The assignment operator assigns the result of an expression to a variable.
➢ Example: a=5 will assign the value 5 to variable a.
➢ In addition to this assignment operator c has a set of short hand assignment operator.
➢ The short hand operator takes the following form:
➢ V op = exp.
➢ Where v is a variable, exp is an expression and op is a binary arithmetic operator.
➢ Here op = is know as short hand assignment operator.
➢ Thus the statement v op = exp is same as v = v op exp.

➢ Examples:
1) X = x+1 can be return as x+=1
2) X = x*(a+b) can be return as x*=(a+b)
3) A= a%10 can be return as a%=10
➢ Advantage of short hand assignment operator are:
1) The variable on the left hand side need not be repeated so it is easy write.
2) The statement is more efficient.
3) The statement is more concise and easier to read.

Q.22 Explain Increment & Decrement operators with example?

➢ Increment and decrement operators are unary operator because they have only one operand.
1) Increment operator:
➢ Increment operator adds one to its operand.
➢ Example: m=5 then m++ will increment the value of m by one. Thus
the value of m becomes 6 now.
➢ There are two type of increment operator available.
i) Prefix increment operator:
• When prefix increment operator is used in expression then it will
first increment the value of its operand and then assign it to
variable.
Example:

16
 Sem.: 1st C.E.
Subject: C.P.

m=5

y = ++m

Will gives m=6 and y=6

ii) Postfix increment operator:

• When postfix increment operator is used in expression then it will
first assign the value of its operand to the variable and then
Decrement the value of its operand.
Example:

m=5

y = m++

Will gives m=6 and y=5

2) Decrement operator:
➢ Decrement operators subtract one from its operand.
➢ Example: m=5 then m-- will Decrement the value of m by one. Thus
the value of m becomes 4 now.
➢ There are two type of Decrement operator available.
i) Prefix Decrement operator:
• When prefix Decrement operator is used in expression then it will
first Decrement the value of its operand and then assign it to
variable.
Example:

m=5

y = --m

Will gives m=4 and y=4

ii) Postfix Decrement operator:

• When postfix Decrement operator is used in expression then it will
first assign the value of its operand to the variable and then
Decrement the value of its operand.
Example:

m=5

17
 Sem.: 1st C.E.
Subject: C.P.

y = m--

Will gives m=4 and y=5

Q.23 Explain conditional operators with example?

➢ The conditional operator is also known as ternary operator. It is known as ternary operator
because it has three operands.

➢ The general form of ternary operator is follow:

▪ (Condition)? Statement-1: statement-2;
➢ First the condition is checked. If the condition is true then the statement is followed the? Is
executed otherwise the statement followed the : is executed.
➢ Example: (a>b)? printf(“a is max”): printf(“b is max”);
▪ Here if the value of a greater than b then it prints a is max otherwise it print b
is max.
Q.24 Explain Bitwise operators with example?
➢ The bitwise operators are used to manipulate data at bit level.
➢ These operators are used for testing bits or shifting them left or right.
➢ They can not be applied to float and double.
➢ The bitwise operators supported by c language is given below:
1) Bitwise AND(&):
2) Bitwise OR(|):
3) Bitwise Exclusive OR(^):
4) Shift left(<<):
5) Shift right(>>):
6) One ‘s complement(~):

Q.25 Explain special operators with example?

➢ The special operator supported by c language is given below:
1) Comma operator(,):
The comma operator can be used to link related expression together.

➢ The expressions are evaluated left to right.

➢ The value of the right most expression is the value of the combined
expression.
➢ Example :

18
 Sem.: 1st C.E.
Subject: C.P.

Z= (x=10, y=5, x+y);

➢ First the value of 10 is assigned to x, then value of 5 is assigned to y. finally

the value of x+y (10+5=15) is assigned to z.
2) Sizeof operator:
➢ The sizeof operator is used to find how many bytes the operand occupies.
➢ The operand may be a variable, a constant or data type.
➢ The general syntax of sizefof operator is:
Sizeof (operand)

Examples:

Sizeof (a); // here it return 2 bytes if a is of type int.

Sizeof (2.5) // here it return 4 bytes because 2.5 is float.

Sizeof (double) // here it return 8 bytes.

➢ The sizeof operator is a compile time operator.

➢ The common use of sizeof operator are as given below:
i) To determine the length of array and structure when their sizeof
are not known to the programmer.
ii) To allocate memory space dynamically to variables during
execution of the program.
3) Pointer operator(&,*):
➢ Pointer operator are used to declared the pointer variable and access the value
stored at particular memory location.

4) Member selection operator (. , ->):

The member selection operators are used to access the member of structure.

• Writing the code using the multiple if..else becomes lengthy and also difficult to manage.
Using switch statement it is done by easy.

• It provide the choice for each value of variable or expression.

• The switch statement test the value of a given variable against a list of case values and
when the match is found, a statement associated with the case is executed.

• General syntax of switch case statement is as follow:

Switch(variable name or expression)

Case 1:

statement(s)1;

Break;

Case 2:

statement(s)2;

Break;

Case N:

statement(s)N;

Break;

Default :

default_statement(s);

• The expression or variable name is an integer or characters.

2. if the case is found whose value match with value of the expression ,then then the
statement associated with the case is executed. there is a single statement or multiple statement.
There is break which send the control to the next statement.

3. if the value of the expression does not match with any case value then the statement
associated with the default case is executed.

Q.30 Explain goto statement with example.

Use: the goto statement in the c programming is used to transfer the control unconditionally
from one part of the program to other part of the program.

‘c’ language provide a unconditional branching mechanism called as goto statement.

The ‘c’ is a structural programming language where use of goto statement is a dangerous
because the use of the goto statement in the program makes it difficult to understand and debug.

The syntax of the goto statement is as follow:

Syntax:

Goto lable;

Here , lable is the lable to the statement to which goto transfer control.

Following shows the two possible use of goto statement.

1. forward reference

2. backward reference

2) 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.

3) 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.

4) In while loop the block of code is never execute if first time condition is false.
In do while loop the block of code that must be executed at least once.

5) While loop is entry control loop

Where as do while is exit control loop.

6) Syntax:
while loop : Do...While loop:
while (condition) do
{ {
Statements; Statements;
} }while(condition);

Q.33 Explain For Loop with flowchart & example.

for-loops are counter-controlled, meaning that they are normally used whenever the number of
iterations is known in advance.

• The initialization step occurs one time only, before the loop begins.

• The condition is tested at the beginning of each iteration of the loop.

o If the condition is true ( non-zero ), then the body of the loop is executed next.

29
 Sem.: 1st C.E.
Subject: C.P.

o If the condition is false ( zero ), then the body is not executed, and execution
continues with the code following the loop.

• The incrementation happens AFTER the execution of the body, and only when the body is
executed.

Flowchart of For Loop:

Syntex or Example of For Loop:

Voidmain()

{ int i;
For( i=0; i<=10; i++)
{
printf(“hello /n”);
}
Getch(); }
□ The above example of for loop print 10 times hello word in output.

Q.34 What is array? Explain 1-D array with the help of example.

Answer:
o An array is collection of elements of same data type that is referred by a
single name.
o The elements of an array are referred by their index or subscript value.

✓ The syntax for declaring one dimension array is:

datatype array_name[size];
✓ Here datatype defines the type of array elements. It can be char, int, float,
long int etc. the array_name is the name of a variable represented the array,
while size which represented in [] symbols represented size of array.
For Example:
✓ If we have a one array name salary with integer values of 10 elements. Than
those array declared as follows:
int salary[10];
Datatype int
Name of Array salary Size
of Array 10
Number of Elements in array 10
✓ The elements of array must be started with 0. In above example the first array
element is salary [0] and last element is salary [9]. So total 10 elements in
this array.

✓ The graphically represented of array is:

Salary[0] Salary[1] Salary[2] Salary[3] Salary [4] Salary [5] Salary [6] Salary [7] Salary [8]
Salary [9]

23 54 62 32 01 2 15 41 22 32
Index 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

✓ Another way to initialization of one dimension array is give below:

 Sem.: 1st C.E.
Subject: C.P.

Int number [3] = {12, 4, 78};

Float total [2] = {2.5, 6, 6.23};
Char name [] = {‘p’,’n’,’c’};
