Answer

PART TWO

b) Draw a flowchart to print the factorials of numbers from 1 to n where n is entered by user.
c) Write a function to display the multiplication table of the number.
(5+5+5)

6.
a) Write a program to determine the sum of the following series:
S = 1 – 3 + 5 – 7 + …n
Read the value of n from the user.
b) The ‘*’ symbol is used for two different purposes in pointer data type. Explain them.
c) Write a function that returns 1 if the two matrices passed to it as argument are equal and 0
otherwise.
(5+5+5)

7.
a) Write a program to copy a file into another file.
b) Given the linked list:




Show how the linked list will appear after every operation (as mentioned below) is carried out.
Assume that the operations are carried out one after another.
addAtHead(5);
addAtHead(4);
addAfter(3, 7); // 7 is to be added after 3
delete(5);
(7+8)

8.
a)Write a program which asks the user to enter the name and age of persons in his group. The numbers of persons is not known to the user in the beginning of the program. The user keeps on entering the data till the user enters the age as zero. The program finally prints the average age.
b) Write a program to display all the prime numbers between two positive integers m and n. The values of m and n are to be taken from the user.
(8+7)

9.
a) Using a switch statement, write a function to count the number of vowels and number of blanks
in a character array passed to it as an argument.

b) Define a structure of student with the following fields: rollNo, name and marks. Write a program to read and store the data of at most 30 students in an array. Also display the average marks of
