Guideline for assignments
● All the programs must be hand-written with output of at least 3 different inputs on
a specific program. Your first input must be your last two digits of enrollment
number).
● Give Proper naming to variables
o For example enrollment number 240210107001 wants to create three int
variables in program like int a,b,c; then his/her variable name must be
int a_raj_01, b_raj_01, c_raj_01;
o Similarly, naming convention for enrollment number 240210107031 for
two int and 1 float variables in program is;
int radious_aay_31, i_aay_31, j_aay_31;
float area_aay_31;
Extra Assignments for students who have secured less than 10 marks
in the Quiz: Last Two year GTU question papers (Summer 2024 and Summer 2023)
Extra Assignments for students who have secured marks equal to or
greater than 10 in the Quiz.
1. Write a C Program to find Largest Element of an Integer Array. Here the number of
elements in the array ‘n’ and the elements of the array is read during runtime.
2. Write a C Program to print the array elements in reverse order (Not reverse sorted
order). Just the last element will become first element, second last element will
become second element and so on)
3. Write a C program to find subtraction of two matrices i.e. matrix_A - matrix_B =
matrix_C.
If the given matrix are
235 and 1 5 2
456 2 3 4
657 3 3 4
Then the output will be
1 -2 3
2 2 2
3 2 3
(The elements of the output matrix are separated by one blank space)
4. Write a C program to print a triangle of prime numbers up to given number of lines of
the triangle. e.g If number of lines is 3 the triangle will be
2
3 5
7 11 13
5. Write a program to print all the locations at which a particular element (taken as
input) is found in a list and also print the total number of times it occurs in the list.
The location starts from 1.
For example if there are 4 elements in the array
5
6
5
7
If the element to search is 5 then the output will be
5 is present at location 1
5 is present at location 3
5 is present 2 times in the array.
