3. What is a top-down design? Discuss. (Nov, 13)
Answer:
2. TB1: Pg 12-1.8.1.
3. Material: Pg 16-1.6.1

Top-down analysis breaks the whole problem into smaller logical tasks and defines the hierarchical
link between the tasks.
There are 4 steps:
i. Define the complete scope of the problem to define the basic requirement for its solution.
Input: What data is required to be processed by the program?
Process: What must be done with the input data?
Output: What information should the program produce?
ii. Divide the problem into two or more parts.
iii. Define the scope of each of these separate tasks and sub-divide them further if necessary into
two or more smaller tasks.
iv. Repeat step3 until the task becomes simple and cannot be broken further.
4. What are the steps to follow for solving problem by using a computer (Nov, 13)
Answer:
2. TB1: Pg 13-1.8.4.
To make the program operational, the programmer has to follow some logical and sequential job
steps:
1. Understand the problem to be solved
2. Think and design the solution logic
3. Write the program in the chosen programming language
4. Translate the program to machine code
5. Test the program with sample data
6. Put the program into operation.
5. Describe the two major categories of software with examples. (MP-1)
Answer:
1. from notes given in the class.
2. TB1: Pg 2-1.1.1 and 1.1.2.
3. Material: Pg 3-1.2

Answer:
2. TB1: Pg 4-Assembly language and Pg 5-1.2.4
3. Material: Pg 7- Assembly language and Pg 9-1.3.4
7. Explain the functionality of the following. (MP-2)(Nov,16)
i. Preprocessor
ii. Compiler
iii. Linker
iv. Loader
Also write down the differences between compiler and interpreter. (Nov, 15)
Answer:
2. TB1: Compiler-Pg 6-1.3 and figure 1.7, Linker-Pg 7 1.3.2, loader- Pg 7-1.3.3
Differences- Pg6-Table 1.1
3. Material: Pg 10-1.4.1 and Pg 11-1.4.3 differences, Pg 11-1.4.4
i. Preprocessor:
The C preprocessor, often known as cpp, is a macro processor that is used automatically by
the C compiler to transform your program before compilation. It is called a macro processor because
it allows you to define macros, which are brief abbreviations for longer constructs.
It is not a part of the compiler, but is a separate step in the compilation process. In simple terms, a C
Preprocessor is just a text substitution tool and it instructs the compiler to do required pre-
processing before the actual compilation.
All preprocessor commands begin with a hash symbol (#). It must be the first nonblank character,
and for readability, a preprocessor directive should begin in the first column.
ii. Compiler:
It is a program which translates a high-level language program into a machine language

program. A compiler is more intelligent than an assembler. It checks all kinds of limits, ranges,
errors etc. But its program run time is more and occupies a larger part of the memory.
It has slow speed because a compiler goes through the entire program and then translates the
entire program into machine codes. If a compiler runs on a computer and produces the machine
codes for the same computer then it is known as a self-compiler or resident-compiler. On the

other hand, if a compiler runs on a computer and produces the machine codes for other
computer then it is known as a cross-compiler.
iii. Linker:
In high level languages, some built-in header files or libraries are stored. These libraries are
predefined and these contain basic functions which are essential for executing the programs. These
functions are linked to the libraries by a program called Linker. If linker does not find a library of a
function, then it informs to compiler and then compiler generates an error. The compiler
automatically invokes the linker as the last step in compiling a program.
Not only built-in libraries, it also links the user-defined functions to the user-defined libraries.
Usually a longer program is divided into smaller subprograms called modules and these modules
must be combined to execute the program. The process of combining the modules is done by the
linker.
8. What is a algorithm? Write a algorithm to find out whether a given number is a prime. (MP-2)
Answer:
2. TB1: Pg 14-1.9.1, 1.9.3, Pg 24-Q16
3. Material: Pg 18-1.7.1, 1.7.3, differences
Definition:
An algorithm is an effective procedure for solving a problem in a finite number of steps. A well-
designed algorithm has termination and correctness properties.

Properties of an Algorithm:
Algorithm to find out whether a given number is a prime:
1. START
2. PRINT “ENTER THE NUMBER”
3. INPUT N
4. IF N=2 THEN
PRINT “CO-PRIME” GOTO STEP 12

5. D :=2
6. Q:=N/D (INTEGER DIVISION)
7. R:=N-Q*D
8. IF R=0 THEN GOTO STEP 11
9. D:=D+1
10. IF D<=N/2 THEN GOTO STEP 6
11. IF R=0 THE
PRINT “NOT PRIME”
ELSE
PRINT “PRIME”
12. STOP
8. Define programming. Discuss about different types of programming languages (Nov, 16)
Answer:
2. TB1: Pg 1-1.1, 1.2
9. How is memory reserved using a declaration statement? Explain in detail with eg’s (Nov, 16)
Answer:
Memory is reserved using data type in the variable declaration. A programming language
implementation has predefined sizes for its data types.
Example: int a; // a variable is created with size 4 bytes
char b; //variable b is created with size 1byte
PART-1B: BASICS OF C
1. Write short notes on basic data types that the C-language supports. (Nov, 15)
(OR)
2. How many types of variables are supported by C-language (Nov,16)
Answer:

2. TB1: Pg 50-2.8




2. Give the structure of a C program along with the examples. (Nov, 15)( MP-1)
Answer:
2. TB1: Pg 48-2.6

3. What is the purpose of main function? (Nov, 14)
The function main( ) invokes other functions within it. It is the first function to be called when the
program starts execution. It is the starting function. It returns an int value to the environment that
called the program
4. What do you mean by scope of a variable? Explain in brief. What is the difference between ‘p’
and “p”? (Nov, 14)
Answer:
2. TB1: Pg 229-6.7.2(First paragraph), Pg288-7.9 (Second paragraph)
Scope of a variable
The region of the program over which the declaration of an identifier is accessible is called the scope
of the identifier.
The scope relates to the accessibility, the period of existence, and the boundary of usage of variables
declared in a program.
Scopes can be of four types.
i. block ii. File iii. Function iv. function prototype.
Difference between ‘p’ and “p”
Character constants are written between single quotes.

String constants are written between double quotes.
For example, “acd” is a character array of size 4, with the last element being null character \0. For
example, “a” and ‘a’ are not the same. The “a” have two elements, the first with value ‘a’ and the
second with the value ‘\0’.
5. Why is data type specified for a variable declaration and how can value be assigned to
variables?(MP-1)
Answer:
2. TB1: Pg 88-Q6, Pg 63-2.12.4
3. Material: Pg 18-1.7.1, 1.7.3, differences
The type, or data type, of a variable determines a set of values that the variable might take and a set
of operators that can be applied to those values.
Using assignment operator (=) values can be assigned to variables declared.
General form, of assignment operator is
variable_name=expression;
Examples:
i=6;
i=i+1;

6. What is meant by user defined data type? Write a C program which uses user-defined data type.
(MP-2)
Answer:
2. TB1: Pg50-Fig 2.7
Sometimes, the basic set of data types defined in the C language such as int, float etc. may be
insufficient for your application. In circumstances such as these, you can create your own data
types which are based on the standard ones know as user defined data types.
There are three mechanisms for doing this in C:
 using typedef
 using structures
 using unions
/* write any program of structures or unions concept*/
