printf("Enter %d numbers:\n", SIZE);
// Input numbers
for(i = 0; i < SIZE; i++) {
printf("Enter number %d: ", i+1);
scanf("%d", &numbers[i]);

Question 3a
Write a program to find a given character at the given array index of a given string. For example, if

string should be "Cuadle".

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
void swapCharacterAtIndex(char str[], char ch, int index) {
int len = strlen(str);
// Check if index is valid
if(index < 0 || index >= len) {

// Find position of the character in the string
int charPos = -1;
for(int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
if(str[i] == ch) {
charPos = i;
break;
}
}
// Check if character exists in the string
if(charPos == -1) {
printf("Character '%c' not found in the string!\n", ch);
return;
}
// Cannot swap with itself
if(charPos == index) {
printf("Character is already at the specified index!\n");
return;

// Swap the character at the given index with the found character
char temp = str[index];
// Shift characters if necessary

150. Write a complete C program to read the number of units consumed and print out the
total charges.
