Windows, and Linux kernel.
2) Embedded Systems – C is widely used in microcontrollers, IoT devices, and
robotics.

4. Differentiate while and Do-While Loop statements. (Nov/Dec-2024)

1) In while loop, condition is checked first, so the loop may not execute at all.
2) In do-while loop, condition is checked after execution, so the loop runs at least
once.

5. List at least any ten keywords in C language?(APR/MAY 2024)

1) int
2) float
3) double
4) char
5) return

The output of the program will be : 1

7. "Keywords cannot be used as Identifiers" - Justify the correctness of the

statement.(NOV/DEC 2023)
In C, keywords are reserved words with predefined meanings, such as int, if, for, and return.
These words are essential for the language's syntax and functionality. Since keywords are already
defined by the language, they cannot be used as identifiers (names for variables, functions, etc.).
Using a keyword as an identifier would cause a syntax error because it conflicts with the
language's structure.

istinguish between 'While' and 'Do-While' looping constructs with one example. (NOV/DEC
2023)

9. Draw the structure of C program.(APR/MAY 2023)

#include <stdio.h> // Preprocessor directive
// Function prototypes (optional)
// Global variables (optional)
int main() { // Main function
// Local variables
// Code statements
return 0; // Return statement
}
// User-defined functions (optional)

10. What is the purpose of format specifier in 1/O statements? Give an example. (APR/MAY
2023)
Purpose: Format specifiers are used to specify the type of data to be input or output.
Example:
int num = 5;
printf("Number: %d", num); // %d is the format specifier for integers
11. What are the various types of operators? (NOV/DEC 2022)
The types of operators in C include:
Arithmetic Operators: +, -, *, /, %
Relational Operators: ==, !=, <, >, <=, >=
Logical Operators: &&, ||, !
Bitwise Operators: &, |, ^, ~, <<, >>
Assignment Operators: =, +=, -=, *=, /=
Increment/Decrement Operators: ++, --
Conditional (Ternary) Operator: ? :
Pointer Operators: &, *

12. What is the use of preprocessor directive?(NOV/DEC 2022)

 Preprocessor directives are used to provide instructions to the compiler before the actual
compilation starts. They are used for tasks like file inclusion (#include), defining constants
(#define), and conditional compilation (#if, #ifdef).
13. Write short notes on Keywords in C language.(APR/MAY 2022)
Keywords in C are reserved words with predefined meanings that cannot be used as identifiers.
They are used to define the syntax and structure of the program. Examples include int, if, while,
return, for, etc.
14. What is difference between the statements a = 5 and a = 5 in language C? (APR/MAY 2022)

4. What will happen if in a C program you assign a value to an array element whose subscript
exceeds the size of array? (NOV/DEC 2024)

If you assign a value to an array element whose subscript exceeds the array's size, it leads
to undefined behavior (accessing memory outside the allocated array).
5. What is the output of the following code (APR/MAY 2024)
int main()
int a [4] = {1, 2, 3, 4};
a++;
printf("%d", *a);

}

The output of the program is 2

6. What will be the value of var for the following String Operations statement in C language?
(APR/MAY 2024)
var = stremp ("Hello", "World");
The function strcmp("Hello", "World") compares two strings. Since "Hello" is lexicographically
less than "World", it returns a negative value (usually -1). Thus, var will hold a negative value.
7. Give an example for initialization of a 2D array with a set of values. (NOV/DEC 2023)
int arr[3][2] = {
{1, 2},
{3, 4},

 UNIT III
Strings & Pointers & Structures & Unions
One-dimensional and Multi-dimensional Arrays, Array operations and traversals, String
Handling: String declaration, input/output, string library functions, Pointer arithmetic,
Pointers and Arrays, Pointers to function, Dynamic memory allocation.
Defining and using structures, Array of structures, Pointers to structures, Unions and their
uses, Enumerations.

PART-A

1. Differentiate constant pointer and pointer to a constant (Apr/May-2025)

a. Constant pointer: The pointer address is fixed, but the value can change.
b. Pointer to a constant: The value pointed to is fixed, but the pointer can
change address.
2. List the MongoDB datatypes with its description? (Apr/May-2025)
Use of array of pointers:
 It is used to store multiple strings efficiently.
 Each pointer can point to a string or dynamically allocated array, allowing flexible
memory usage.
3. Differentiate between structure and union. (Apr/May-2025)

a. Structure: All members have separate memory; can store all members
simultaneously.
b. Union: Members share memory; only one member can hold a value at a time;
saves memory.
4. What is the Output of following program? (NOV/DEC 2024)
# include <stdio.h>
void fun(int *ptr)
*ptr = 30;
}
int m a i n
int y = 20;
fun(&y);
printf("%d", y);
return0;
The output will be 30.
The function modifies the value of y by using a pointer, so y becomes 30 after the call
to fun().
5. List any two math built-in functions. (NOV/DEC 2024)
a. sqrt(): Computes the square root of a number.
b. pow(): Calculates the power of a number.
6. How the pow() function is defined and which header file provides it? (APR/MAY
2024)
The pow() function calculates the power of a number. It is defined in the math.h header file.
 Syntax: double pow(double base, double exponent); It returns base raised to the power of
exponent.
7. Differentiate pass by reference and pass by value in C. (APR/MAY 2024)
a. Pass by Value: The function receives a copy of the argument. Changes to the
parameter do not affect the original variable.
b. Pass by Reference: The function receives the address of the argument. Changes
to the parameter affect the original variable directly (using pointers).
8. Find the output of the following code. (NOV/DEC 2023)
int main()
int a = 10, b = 20;
change(&a, b);
printf(" n Inside Main : %d %d\n", a,b);
return 0;
void change(int *p, int q)
*p= =*p*3;
9 = 9*4;
printff"n Inside function : %d %d", *p, q;
}
Inside function: 30 80
9. If p is a pointer to a float array a[10] with base address 1000, then what is the value of
p after executing the statement p++;? Justify your answer. (NOV/DEC 2023)
If p is a pointer to a float array a[10] with a base address of 1000, then after executing p++,
the value of p will increase by the size of the data type it points to, which is float.A float
typically occupies 4 bytes in [Link] p is a pointer to a float, after p++, the pointer
will move to the next float element in the array. Justification:
The base address of a[0] is 1000.
After p++, p will point to a[1], which is located at 1000 + 4 = 1004.
Thus, the value of p after p++ will be 1004.
10. What is the function prototype? Give an example. (APR/MAY 2023)
Answer: A function prototype declares the function's signature (return type, name, and
parameters) before its actual definition.
Example:
int add(int a, int b); // Function prototype
11. What are the difference between user defined functions and built-in functions?
(APR/MAY 2023)
a. User-defined Functions: Functions created by the programmer to perform
specific tasks.
b. Built-in Functions: Predefined functions provided by the C library (e.g., printf(),
scanf()).
12. How is pointer arithmetic done? (NOV/DEC 2022)
Pointer arithmetic is done by adding or subtracting an integer from a pointer, which moves
the pointer by that number of elements, not bytes. Example:
int arr[] = {1, 2, 3};
int *p = arr;
p++; // Now p points to arr[1]
13. Which is better to use? Macro or function. Justify your answer. (NOV/DEC 2022)
Function is generally better to use because it allows type checking, debugging, and easier
maintenance. Macros are processed by the preprocessor and can lead to issues like no type
safety and difficulties in debugging.
14. Define the term recursion in language C. (APR/MAY 2022)
Recursion in C is a process where a function calls itself in order to solve a problem. It is
used for problems that can be broken down into smaller, similar sub-problems.
15. What is the relation between the operators '&' and ' * ' in C pointers? (APR/MAY
2022)
& is the address-of operator used to get the memory address of a variable, while * is
the dereference operator used to access the value at the address pointed to by a pointer.
Example:
int a = 5;
int *p = &a; // & gets address, * accesses value at the address

8. What will be the values for arge and argy I when the input "run with my values" is
passed as command line arguments? (NOV/DEC 2023)
When the input "run with my values" is passed as command line arguments, the values for
argc and argv[] will be:
a. argc (argument count) will be 5, as there are 5 words (including the program name

Answer: The fopen function is used to open a file and returns a file pointer.
Prototype:
FILE *fopen(const char *filename, const char *mode);
11. List the various modes of accessing a file through C. (APR/MAY 2023)
The various modes for file operations are:
"r": Read (opens file for reading).
"w": Write (creates or truncates the file for writing).
"a": Append (opens file for appending).
"rb", "wb", "ab": Binary modes for reading, writing, and appending.
"r+", "w+", "a+": Read and write modes.
12. Why are files needed? (NOV/DEC 2022)
 Files are used to store data permanently or for future retrieval. They allow programs to
read, write, and manipulate data even after the program execution has ended.
13. Give an example for fseek()(NOV/DEC 2022)
FILE *fp = fopen("[Link]", "r");
fseek(fp, 10, SEEK_SET); // Moves the file pointer 10 bytes from the beginning
14. What will be the impact if 'close() function is avoided in a file handling C program?
(APR/MAY 2022)
If close() is not called, the file may not be properly saved or closed, leading to data loss,
memory leakage, or file corruption. It also keeps the file open, consuming system
resources.
15. What are command line arguments? (APR/MAY 2022)
Command line arguments are inputs provided to a program when it is executed from the
command line. They can be accessed in C via argc (argument count) and argv[] (argument
vector). Example:
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
// argc and argv are used to access command-line arguments
}
