i++; c=j++ + i; d=++i + j++;
2. Suppose that x, y and z are integer variables which have been assigned the values 2, 3 and 4, respectively.
Evaluate the following expression and determine the value of x.
x *= -2 * (y + z) / 3
3. Suppose that i is an integer variable whose value is 7 and c is a character variable that represents the
character ‘w’, evaluate the following logical expression:
(i>=6) && (c==’w’)
4. Suppose that i is an integer variable whose value is 7 and f is a floating –point variable whose value is 8.5.
Evaluate the following expression: (i + f) %4
5. What is meant by associativity?
UNIT 5:
1. Consider the following program segment:
x=1;
y=1;
if (n>0)
x=x+1;
y=y-1;
printf(“%d %d”,x,y);
What will be the values of x and y if n assumes a value of (a) 1 and (b) 0.
2. Rewrite the following without using compound relation: if (grade<=59 && grade>=50)
second = second +1;
3. Write a program to check whether an input number is odd or even.
UNIT 7:
1. Write a program for 10 times summation of square of a number.
2. Write a Program that uses loops for array processing.
UNIT 8:
1. Write a C program that sorts a 1D array of integers using the Insertion Sort algorithm.
2. Discuss the memory layout of multi-dimensional arrays in C. 3. How does Bubble Sort differ from
Selection Sort and Insertion Sort

2. What is the purpose of the null character ('\0') in a null-terminated string?
3. Explain the difference between a null-terminated string and a character array.
4. How is the length of a null-terminated string determined in C?
5. Discuss the importance of null-terminated strings in functions like strlen(), strcpy(), and strcmp().
UNIT 10:
1. Explain the difference between strchr() and strstr() functions in C with respect to string searching.
2. Explain the purpose of the toupper() and tolower() functions in C. Provide an example.
3. Describe the process of modifying a string in C. Provide an example demonstrating a modification
operation.

6. What is the difference between formal parameters and actual parameters?
UNIT 12:
1. What is the primary characteristic of recursive functions?.
2. When is it appropriate to use inline functions?.
3. Can you name two types of recursion commonly used in programming?
UNIT 13:
1. Discuss how loop operators enable functions to execute a block of code repeatedly and provide examples
demonstrating their practical application..
2. Discuss the concept of functions with arrays in C programming. Explain how functions can accept arrays
as arguments and return arrays as results.
3. Provide examples to illustrate how decision statements can be used to make choices based on different
conditions within functions.
UNIT 14:
