Answer ONE Question from each Unit

All Questions Carry Equal Marks
All parts of the question must be answered in one place only

UNIT – I

1. a) Explain in detail with neat diagram about the computer system components. [7M]
b) Write an algorithm that calculates the sum of the digits of an integer. For example, the [7M]
sum of the digits of the number 2155 is 13 (i.e. 2+1+5+5).

2. a) What is an operator? Explain different types of operators in C language. [7M]

b) Write a program that estimates the temperature in a freezer (in °C) given the elapsed [7M]
time (hours) since a power failure. Assume this temperature ( T ) is given by
4𝑡 2
𝑇= − 20
𝑡+2
Where t is the time since the power failure. Your program should prompt the user to
enter how long it has been since the start of the power failure in whole hours and
minutes. Note that you will need to convert the elapsed time into hours. For example, if
the user entered 2 30 (2 hours 30 minutes), you would need to convert this to 2.5 hours.

UNIT – II

3. a) Explain loop control statements in C language. [7M]

b) Write a C program to arrange the numbers stored in the array in such a way that the [7M]
array will have the odd numbers followed by the even numbers. For example Input
array is IN[]={1,23,4,12,5,6}, output array is OUT[]={1,23,5,4,12,6}.

4. a) What is an array? What type and range must an array subscript have? Demonstrate the [7M]
storage of two-dimensional arrays in memory with the help of a diagram.

b) Given a string, find the longest substring which is palindrome. For example, if the [7M]
given string is “abaccddccefe”, the output should be “ccddcc”.
 UNIT – III

5. a) What is a pointer? Why are they important? Why pointers should have data types when [7M]
their size is always 4 bytes (in a 32-bit machine), irrespective of the variable they are
pointing to?
b) A year is called leap year if it is divisible by 400. If it is not divisible by 400 as well as [7M]
100 but it is divisible by 4 then that year is also leap year. Example 1600, 2000 etc leap
year while 1500, 1700 is not leap year. Write a function definition to check whether a
given year is a leap year or not.

6. a) How is a multidimensional array defined in terms of an array of pointers? What does [7M]
each pointer represent? How does this definition differ from a pointer to a collection of
contiguous array of lower dimensionality?

b) Using pointers, write a function that receives a character string and a character as [7M]
argument and deletes all occurrences of this character in the string. The function
should return corrected string with no holes. For example input string is “hello world”,
character to be deleted is „l‟, output string is “heo word”

UNIT – IV

7. a) Define Structure and write the general format for declaring and accessing structure [7M]
members. Why can‟t structures be compared?

b) Write a C program to maintain a book structure containing name, author and pages as [7M]
structure members. Pass the address of structure variable to a user defined function and
display the contents.

8. a) How Structure and unions are assigned in memory? Explain with diagram. [7M]

b) Define a structure called Cricket that will have player name, team name, and batting [7M]
average of the player. Using Cricket, declare an array player with 10 elements. Write a
program to read the information about all the 10 players and print a team wise list
containing names of players with their batting average.

UNIT – V

9. a) What is the purpose of fopen() function? Describe the different file opening used with [7M]
the fopen() function.

b) Write a program that opens an existing text file and copies it to a new text file with all [7M]
lowercase letters changed to capital letters and all other characters unchanged.

10 a) Is it possible to pass arguments to C programs when they are being executed? Justify. [7M]
.
b) Write a C program to write employee name, department and salary of seven employess [7M]
using an array of structures to a file via fwrite(). Further, the program must read the
array from the file and display the details of employees on the screen.
