16. Writea for loop toprintfrom 10 to1

printf("%d",i);
17. WriteanytwopreprocessordirectivesinC
Preprocessor directive instructions are used to instruct the preprocessor
to expand/translate the source program before compilation
Thetwotypesofpreprocessordirectivesare,
#define to define Macro , Global constant
#include to include library files
18. ListdifferentdatatypesavailableinC
Data types are used to specify the type of a variable. In c, the data types are
classified into 3 category. They are,
PrimaryorBuilt-in:int,char,float
Derived : array, enum,
pointer User defined :
function, structure

19. WriteaC programto findfactorial ofa givennumberusing Iteration

{
int
N=5,I,fact=1;
for(i=1;i<=N;i
++)
fact=fact*i;
printf(―Thefactorialvalueof%dis=%d‖,N,fact);
}
20. Whatistheuseofpreprocessor directive?
- Used to translate one high level language statement into another high level
language statement.
- Usedtoinstructthepreprocessorthathowitperformsthetranslationbefore
compilation.
- Usedtoperformconditionalcompilation.
- UsedtoincludeotherCfilesorlibraryfiles.
21. Whatisthevariable?Illustratewithanexample
- Variableisanamedstoragearea
- Usedtoassignanameto a value
- To declare a variable, we need to specify the data type of the value and the
variablename
Datatypevariable_name;
- Example
int reg;floatavg;

ea Global constant #define PI 3.14
Macro #definebig(a,b)a>b?a:b
When a compiler reads the macro name, it replaces the macro name by its
expansion. When it reads the constant label, it replaces the label by its value.
