List of Experiments
1. Write a C program to compute roots of quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0, where a, b, and c are
three coefficients of a quadratic equation are inputs.
2. Design and develop an algorithm to find the reverse of an integer number.
3. Design and develop an algorithm to check whether given number is PALINDROME or NOT.
Implement a C program for the developed algorithm that takes an integer number as input and
output the reverse of the same with suitable messages. Ex: Num: 2019, Reverse: 9102, Not a
Palindrome.
4. Design and develop a c program to implement simple calculator using switch case statement.
5. Develop, implement and execute a C program to search a Number in a list using linear searching
Technique.
6. Develop an algorithm, implement and execute a C program that reads N integer numbers and
arrange them in ascending order using Bubble Sort.
7. Design and develop a C program to read and print a matrix and check whether a given Matrix
is a sparse Matrix or not.
8. a. Write a C program to implements the following string manipulation functions till the use
wishes to continue (infinite loop): (i) strcpy() (ii) srrlen() (iii) strrev () (iv) strcmp() (v) strcat().
b. Read a sentence and print frequency of vowels and total count of consonant
9. Design and develop a C function RightRotate (x, n) that takes two integers x and n as input and
returns value of the integer x rotated to the right by n positions. Assume the integers are
unsigned.
10. Draw the flowchart and write a recursive C function to find the factorial of a number, n!, define
by fact(n)=1, if n=0. Otherwise fact (n) =n*fact (n-1). Using this function, write a C program
to compute the binomial coefficient nCr. Tabulate the results for different values of n and r with
suitable messages
11. Write a C program to maintain a record of n student details using an array of structures with
four fields (Roll number, Name, Marks, and Grade). Assume appropriate data type for each
field. Input & Print the members of the structure
12. Write a C program using pointers to compute the sum, mean and standard deviation of all
elements stored in an array of n real numbers.
