SECTION “B”
[6Q4=24 marks]

I. Attempt Any SIX Questions (Question No. 4 is Compulsory).

1. Describe different steps for the development of a C-Program.

2. With example, describe any four types of operator used in C-Programming.

3. What is the importance of loop structure? With example, describe do-while loop, while loop
and for loop.

4. Write a program to check whether a given number is Armstrong or not. [ Hint: XYZ is an
Armstrong number because X3+Y3+Z3= XYZ ]

5. Define a string. With example, describe any six string manipulating functions.

6. Using pointer, write a program to calculate Average of user given number of array elements.
Ensure that the Average function should return a floating point value.

7. Write a C program to Swap (interchange) value of two variables with the help of function
and pointer.

SECTION “C”
[2Q8=16 marks]

II. Attempt Any TWO Questions (Question No. 8 is Compulsory).

8. Write a C program that illustrates how an array of structures is passed to a function, and how
a pointer to a particular structure is returned.

9. Differentiate pass by value with pass by reference. Write a program to illustrate three library
functions related to dynamic memory allocation in C programming.

10. Briefly explain different types of storage class specifier that are used in C programming
language. Write a C program to copy and compare structure variables.
