Ques.1 What, if anything, prints when each of the following C statements is performed? If the statement
contains an error, describe the error and indicate how to correct it. Assume the following variable definitions:
(2*5 = 10 Marks)
char s1[ 50 ] = "jack", s2[ 50 ] = "jill", s3[ 50 ];
a) printf( "%c%s", toupper( s1[ 0 ] ), &s1[ 1 ] );
b) printf( "%s", strcpy( s3, s2 ) );
c) printf( "%s", strcat( strcat( strcpy( s3, s1 ), " and " ), s2 ) );
d) printf( "%u", strlen( s1 ) + strlen( s2 ) );
e) printf( "%u", strlen( s3 ) );
Ques.2 Fill in the following blanks : (1*10 = 10 Marks)
1. In ________________ method, address of the variable is passed by the calling function to the called function.
2. The C language was originally developed from ____________________ language.
3. The standard mathematical functions are included in the ______________ header file.
4. An immediate exit from the loop can be achieved by a _________________ statement.
5. The function int func(); takes _______________ (how many?) arguments.
6. A variable can be made constant by declaring it with the qualifier ______________ at the time of initialization.
7. A computer program that converts assembly language programs to machine language programs is called
______________.
8. The _________________ standard library function is used to obtain data from the keyboard.
9. A ___________________ is a graphical representation of an algorithm.
10. Keyword _______________ is used in a function header to indicate that a function does not return a value or to
indicate that a function contains no parameters.
Ques.3 Convert the following numbers from one base to another. (The intermediate steps must be shown).
(1*5 = 5 Marks)
(i) (1100001)2 = to decimal
(ii) (100100.1010)2 = to octal
(iii) (A029)16 = to decimal
(iv) (BABA)16 = to binary
(v) (742)10 = to binary
Ques.4 What is the difference between constant to pointer and pointer to constant? Explain by giving proper examples
for each. Give 3 points of difference including example. (6 Marks)
