C Programming Important Questions & Answers

1) What is function? Explain function declaration, function definition, function


call? [2015]

A function is a self-contained block of code that performs a specific task.

Function Declaration: Tells the compiler about the function’s name, return
type, and parameters.

Example: int add(int, int);

Function Definition: Provides the actual body of the function.

int add(int a, int b){

return a+b;

Function Call: Invokes the function.

Example: sum = add(5,3);

2) List and explain the scope of variable? [2019]

The scope of a variable refers to the region where the variable is accessible.

1. Local Variable – Declared inside a function, accessible only there.


2. Global Variable – Declared outside all functions, accessible throughout the
program.

3. Formal Parameters – Variables declared inside function headers, scope is


within function.

4. Block Scope – Declared inside { }, accessible only within that block.

3) What is recursive function with an example? [2017]

A recursive function is one that calls itself directly or indirectly until a base
condition is satisfied.

Example: Factorial Function

int fact(int n){

if(n==0) return 1;

else return n * fact(n-1);

}
4) Write a program in C using functions to swap two numbers. [2017]

#include <stdio.h>

void swap(int *a, int *b){

int temp = *a;

*a = *b;

*b = temp;

int main(){

int x=10, y=20;

swap(&x, &y);

printf("x=%d y=%d", x, y);

return 0;

5) What is an array? How to declare and initialize the one-dimensional array


with an example? [2016, 2017, 2019]

An array is a collection of elements of the same type stored in contiguous


memory locations.

Declaration: int arr[5];

Initialization: int arr[5] = {1,2,3,4,5};


Example:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(){

int arr[5] = {10,20,30,40,50};

for(int i=0;i<5;i++)

printf("%d ", arr[i]);

return 0;

6) List and explain the operations of array with an example? [2019]

Common array operations:

1. Traversal – Accessing elements.

for(int i=0;i<n;i++) printf("%d ", arr[i]);

2. Insertion – Adding new element.

3. Deletion – Removing element.

4. Searching – Finding element.


5. Sorting – Arranging elements in order.

7) Explain the call by reference and call by value with a suitable example?
[2022]

Call by Value: A copy of the actual parameter is passed. Changes do not


affect the original variable.

void func(int x){ x=10; }

Call by Reference: Address of variable is passed. Changes affect the original


variable.

void func(int *x){ *x=10; }

8) Write a C program using functions to generate the Fibonacci series. [2019]

#include <stdio.h>

void fib(int n){

int a=0, b=1, c;

for(int i=0;i<n;i++){

printf("%d ", a);

c = a + b;

a = b;

b = c;

}
}

int main(){

fib(10);

return 0;
