C Language Beginner Practice Exercises with Model
Answers
Exercise 1 – Function with String Parameter
Task: Write a function greetUser that takes a user’s name as input and prints:
'Hello, ! Welcome to C programming.'. Call this function in main() with your name.
#include void greetUser(char name[]){ printf("Hello, %s! Welcome to C
programming.\n", name); } int main(){ greetUser("Nani"); return 0; }
Exercise 2 – Function Returning a Value
Task: Write a function multiply that takes two integers as input and returns their
product. In main(), call this function with numbers 7 and 8, then print the result.
#include int multiply(int a, int b){ return a * b; } int main(){ int result =
multiply(7, 8); printf("Product: %d\n", result); return 0; }
Exercise 3 – Days to Years, Months, Weeks, and Days
Task: Ask the user for the number of days. Convert it into years, months, weeks,
and remaining days (assume 1 year = 365 days, 1 month = 30 days, 1 week = 7
days).
#include int main(){ int totalDays, years, months, weeks, days; printf("Enter the
number of days: "); scanf("%d", &totalDays;); years = totalDays / 365; totalDays
%= 365; months = totalDays / 30; totalDays %= 30; weeks = totalDays / 7; days =
totalDays % 7; printf("Years: %d\n", years); printf("Months: %d\n", months);
printf("Weeks: %d\n", weeks); printf("Days: %d\n", days); return 0; }
Exercise 4 – Even or Odd Number
Task: Ask the user to enter an integer. Write a function isEven that returns 1 if the
number is even, otherwise returns 0. Print the result in main().
#include int isEven(int n){ if(n % 2 == 0) return 1; else return 0; } int main(){
int num; printf("Enter a number: "); scanf("%d", #); if(isEven(num)) printf("%d
is even\n", num); else printf("%d is odd\n", num); return 0; }
Exercise 5 – Grade Calculator
Task: Write a program that asks the user for their score (0–100) and prints the
grade using the given grading scale.
#include int main(){ float score; printf("Enter your score: "); scanf("%f",
&score;); if(score >= 90 && score <= 100) printf("Grade: A\n"); else if(score >=
80) printf("Grade: B\n"); else if(score >= 70) printf("Grade: C\n"); else
if(score >= 60) printf("Grade: D\n"); else if(score >= 0) printf("Grade: F\n");
else printf("Invalid score\n"); return 0; }
Exercise 6 – Function Returning the Largest Number
Task: Write a function findMax that takes three integers and returns the largest. In
main(), call it and display the result.
#include int findMax(int a, int b, int c){ int max = a; if(b > max) max = b; if(c
> max) max = c; return max; } int main(){ int num1, num2, num3; printf("Enter
three numbers: "); scanf("%d %d %d", &num1;, &num2;, &num3;); printf("Largest
number is: %d\n", findMax(num1, num2, num3)); return 0; }
Exercise 7 – Hours to Days and Hours
Task: Ask the user to enter total hours worked. Convert this into days and
remaining hours (1 day = 24 hours).
#include int main(){ int totalHours, days, hours; printf("Enter total hours: ");
scanf("%d", &totalHours;); days = totalHours / 24; hours = totalHours % 24;
printf("Days: %d, Hours: %d\n", days, hours); return 0; }
Exercise 8 – Positive, Negative, or Zero
Task: Write a function checkNumber that prints whether an integer is positive,
negative, or zero.
#include void checkNumber(int n){ if(n > 0) printf("%d is positive\n", n); else
if(n < 0) printf("%d is negative\n", n); else printf("The number is zero\n"); }
int main(){ int num; printf("Enter a number: "); scanf("%d", #);
checkNumber(num); return 0; }
Exercise 9 – Temperature Category
Task: Ask the user to enter a temperature in Celsius and print if it is Hot, Warm, or
Cold.
#include int main(){ float temp; printf("Enter temperature in Celsius: ");
scanf("%f", &temp;); if(temp >= 30) printf("Hot\n"); else if(temp >= 15)
printf("Warm\n"); else printf("Cold\n"); return 0; }
Exercise 10 – Sum of Numbers Using Loop and Return
Task: Write a function sumN that takes an integer n and returns the sum of
numbers from 1 to n.
#include int sumN(int n){ int sum = 0; for(int i = 1; i <= n; i++){ sum += i; }
return sum; } int main(){ int num; printf("Enter a positive number: ");
scanf("%d", #); printf("Sum from 1 to %d is %d\n", num, sumN(num)); return 0; }
