M3-R4: PROGRAMMING AND PROBLEM SOLVING THROUGH ‘C’ LANGUAGE
NOTE:
1. There are TWO PARTS in this Module/Paper. PART ONE contains FOUR questions and
PART TWO contains FIVE questions.
2. PART ONE is to be answered in the TEAR-OFF ANSWER SHEET only, attached to the

Answer
PART TWO
(Answer any FOUR questions)
5.a) What is dynamic memory allocation? Mention four functions used for dynamic memory
manipulation.
b) What are command line arguments? Explain with the help of a suitable example.
c) Define a two dimensional array ‘int a[10][10]’. Write a ‘C’ program to initialize this array with
numbers between 0 and 99. Then print the contents of ‘a’.
(5+5+5)
6.
a) Define Auto and Register variables in context of C. What is the basic difference between these
variables?
b) Write a program that takes as input an integer between 1-12 (both inclusive) and prints the
month corresponding to that integer.
c) Draw two flow charts to distinguish between break and continue statements.
(5+5+5)
7.
a) Write a function to swap two integers. The function does not return any value.
b) Write a ‘C’ program to create a file of integers. The file name is given by the user. The second
input to the program is the number ‘n’ of positive integers to be written into the file starting
from 1.
c) What is union data type? Define a union ‘u’ to hold a integer, float and character variable.
(6+6+3)
8.
a) Write a C program to construct a linear linked list in C to store student records. The record
contains roll no. and total marks. The program stops when a negative roll no. is entered.
b) Write a program to find out whether a given number is Prime or not.
(6+9)
9.
a) What will be the output of the program? Explain step by step.
#include<stdio.h>
void fun(int*, int*);
int main()
{
int i=5, j=2;
fun(&i, &j);
printf("%d, %d", i, j);
return 0;
}
void fun(int *i, int *j)
{
*i = *i**i;
*j = *j**j;
}
b) What will be the output of the program? Explain step by step.
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int arr[5], i=-1, z;
while(i<5)
arr[i]=++i;
for(i=0; i<6; i++)
printf("%d, ", arr[i]);
return 0;
}
c) Point out the error in the following program. How you will modify the program to overcome from
the error?
#include<stdio.h>
struct emp
{
char name[20];
int age;
};
int main()
{
emp int xx;
int a;
printf("%d\n", &a);
return 0;
}
