CHAPTER 4.4
Decision making : The If Statement , The If Else Construct,
Nested If Statements, Switch Statement, The Conditional Operator
The IF Statement
The if statement is a decision making statement and used to control the
flow of execution of statements. It's general syntax is
if(test expression)
{
executable part;
}
Q1. When if block is executed?
Ans: Only when the test expression is true.
Q2. What is the other name of if statements?
Ans: Decission control statement.
The If Else Construct:
The if else statement is an extension of the simple if statement .It's
general syntax is
if(test expression)
{
true block statements;
}
else
{
false block statements;
}
if the test expression is true,then the true block statements are executed
otherwise the flase block statements are executed.
Q3. When will be the else part be executed?
Ans: Only when ifs text expression is false.
Nested If Statements:
When a series of decisions are involved we may have to use more than
one if statements. Then we use nested if statements. Its general syntax is
if(test condition 1)
{
if(test condition 2)
14

{
statements..
}
}
Q4. What is nested if statement ?
Ans. If statement within an if statement is known as nested if statement.
Q5. When will be the nested if be executed?
Ans: Nested ifs are executed only when all the testconditions are satisfied.
Switch Statement:
The switch statement test the value of a given expression against a list of
case values. When a match is found a block of statements associated with the
case is executed, its general syntax is
switch(expression)
{
case value-1:
block-1;
break;
case value-2:
block-2;
break;
....
default:
default -block;
break;
}
Q6. When the default statements are executed?
Ans:
When the entered value is not among the switch case values then
default statements are executed.
Q7. Which type of data is allowed in switch case?
Ans:
int or char constant.
The Conditional Operator
The ternary operator( ?: ) is called as conditional operator and it works
like if else statement.
expression1? expression2 : expression3 ;
Q8. How many operands required for conditional operator?
Ans: Three operands .

CHAPTER -4.5
PROGRAM LOOPING:The For Statement, Nested For Loops, The While
Statement, The Do While Statement, The Break And Continue Statements
The For Statement
The for loop is a entry controlled loop that provides a more concise loop
control structure.

its general syntax is


for(initialization;test-condition;operation)
{
body of the loop;
}
Nested For Loops
Nested for loops means one for loop within other for loop its general
syntax is
for(initialization1;testcondition;operation)
{
for(inittialization2;testcondition2;operation)
{
...............
}
}
The While Statement
it is the simplest of all looping structures in C.it is also an entry controlled
statement.
its general syntax is
while(test condition)
{
body of loop;
}
The do while statement
It is same as the while statement but the test condition is placed at the
bottom of the loop.
its general syntax is

19

do
{
bodyof the loop;
}
while(test-condition);
Q1) what is the minimum execution time of do while loop.?
Ans: 1 time.
The break and continue statements
When a break statement is encountered in a loop, the loop is immediately
exited from the loop and the program continues with the statement immediately
following the loop.
while (test-condition)
{
if(-----------)
break;
----------------}
when it is necessary to skip a part of the loop we use continue statements.
its general syntax is
while(test-condition)
{
if(-----------)
continue;
----------------}

CHAPTER -4.7
WORKING WITH FUNCTIONS:
Defining A Function, Arguments And Local Variables, Returning
Function Results, Function Calling, Declaring Return Types And
Argument Types,Top Down Programming, Functions And Arrays,
Global Variables, Automtic And Static Variables, Recursive Function .
ONE WORD ANSWERS
Q1) What is a function?
Ans: A function is a self-contained block of code that performs a particular
task.
Q2) How many types of functions exist in C,what are they?
Ans: There are two types of functions they are
a.User-defined functions
b.standard library functions.
Q3) What are the advantages of using functions?
Ans: a. The length of the source program can be reduced by using function.
b.It is easy to locate and isolate a faulty functions for further
investigations.
Q4) What is Function definition?
Ans: It is an independent program module that is especially written to
implement the requirements of the function.
Q5) What are the elements involved in function definition?
Ans: The six elements that are involved in a function definition are:
a.Function return type
b.Function name
c.Parameter list
d.Local variables
e.Function statements and
f.Return statement
Q6) What is function header?
Ans: The function type,function name and the parameter list together is called
a function header.
36

Q7) What is function body?


Ans: The local variables the function statements and the return statement on a
whole is known as function body.
Q8) What are formal parameters?
Ans: The parameter list declares the variables that will receive the data sent
by the calling programme. They serve as the input data to function to
carry out the specified task since they represent actual input values, they
are called as the "formal parameters".
Q9) What are actual parameters?
Ans: The parameters which are used in the function call are called as actual
parameters. These may be simple constants, variables or expressions.
Q10) what is an Argument?
Ans: This is one type of parameter which collects the value from the calling
function.
Q11) what is Local variable ?
Ans: The variables which are declared inside the function is known as local
variable
Q12) what is global variable ?
Ans: The variables which are declared outside the function is known as global
variable
Q13) What is function declaration?
Ans: The calling function should declare any function that is to be used later
in the program this is known as function declaration or function
prototype.
Q14) what are the main elements required in the function prototype?
Ans: The main elements required in the function prototype are:
a.function return type
b.function name
c.parameters list
d.terminating semicolon
NOTE: Terminating semicolon(;) is important.
Q15) What are the types of functions depending upon categories of arguments
and return statements?
Ans: Depending upon categories of arguments and return statements there are
four types of functions
a. function with no arguments and no return values
b. function with arguments and no return value
37

c. function with arguments and one return value


d. function with no arguments but return a value
Q16) How do you return multiple values to the calling function?
Ans: Multiple values to the calling function can be returned using
"POINTERS".
Q17) How do you pass multiple variables using pointers?
Ans: Multiple values can be passed using pointers by using addresses of
variables in the actual parameters.
Q18) What are the rules to pass an array to a function?
Ans: The rules are:
a.the function must be called by passing only the name of an array
b.the function definition, the formal parameter must be an array type; the
size of an array does not need to be specified.
c.the function prototype must show that the argument is an array.
Q19) Is it possible to pass an entire array to a function as an argument?
A:
yes, it is possible to pass an entire array to a function as an argument.
Q20) How to pass an array to a function?
Ans: To pass an array to a function ,the name of the array must appear itself,
without brackets or subscripts, as an actual argument with in the
function call.
Q21) What are automatic variables?
Ans: These are the variables declared inside a function in which they are
utilised. They are cerated when the function is 'called' and destroyed
automatically when the function is exited.
Q22) What are static variables? what are its types?
Ans: These are the variables which persist until the end of the program. They
are of two types
a.Internal static variables: are those declared inside a function.
b.External static variables: are those declared outside a function.
Q23) What is a recursive function?
Ans: a function which calls itself is known as recusive function.
Q24) Give an example where we use recursion?
Ans: Recusion can be used for doing progrms like mathematical induction,
fibbonaci series etc.....

CHAPTER 5.1
Working With Structures: Defining A Structure,Functions And Structures,
Initializing Structures, Array Of Structures,Structures Containing
Structures,Structures Containing Arrays,Structure Variants
Structure:
A structure is a user defined datatype and it is used for handling a group
of logically related datatypes.Structures can be intialised either at
compiletime or at runtime.
ONE WORD ANSWERS
Q1) What is a structure?
Ans: A structure is a collection of heterogeneous data.
Q2) What is the general format of the structure?
Ans: The general format\ of a structure is
struct tag_name
{
datatype name1;
datatype name2;
:
:
:
};
where name1,name2......... are called as structure members.
Q3). What are the major differences between arrays and structures?
Ans: a. an array is a collection of similar datatypes where as the stuctrure is a
collection of different data types.
b. an array is derived datatype where as a structure is user defined
datatype.
Q4). How the members of a structure can be accessed?
Ans: The members of a structure can be accessed using the dot operator or
arrow operator.
Q5) How is the structure initialized at compiletime?
Ans: Structure at compiletime can be initialised in this way
struct Test
{
49

int a;
char c[10];
};
struct tag_name s1={10,"ravi"};
Q6). How is the structure initialised at runtime?
Ans: Structure at runtime can be initialised in this way
struct tag_name
{
int a;
char c[10];
};
struct tag_name s1;
scanf("%d,%c",&s1.a,s1.c);
Q7). What is nested structure?
Ans: A structure within a structure is called as nested structure.
Q8) Give an example of array of structures?
Ans: struct student s[100];
Q9.

What is the general format of sending a copy of a structure to the called


function?
Ans: The general fomrat of sending a copy of a structure to the called
function is
function_name(structure_variable name);

ONE WORD ANSWERS


Q1). What is a pointer?
Ans: A pointer is a variable which stores the address of other variable.
Q2) What are pointer constants?
Ans: Memory address within a computer memory are reffered to as pointer
constants.we cannot change them.we can use them only to store values.
Q3) How the address of the varible can be accessed?
Ans: by using '&' operator.
Q4) How the pointer varible can be declared?
Ans: By using the syntax given below
data type *pt_name
where data type is - what type of data the varible is going to assigned
pt - means pointer
Q5. What is meant by initialization of pointers?
Ans: The process of assigning the address of variable to a pointer is known as
initialization of pointer.
Chain of pointers:
The process of linking the pointer varible to another pointer varible is
known as chain of pointers.this can be shown as **ptr.
Q6) What are pointer expressions?
Ans: The experssion is a squence of operators and operands.if the operands
used here are pointers then the expression becomes pointer expressions.
Q7)

Can the pointer increments are possible?


70

Ans: Yes,it is possible.


Q8) What is scale factor?
Ans: When the pointer is incremented,its value is increased by the 'size of the
data type'.this is known as scale factor.
Q9)

What the compiler does when the array name has been assigned to
pointer variable?
Ans: The compiler allocate the address of the first member of an array to the
pointer.
Q10) What is meant by call by value?
Ans: The process of passing th actual address of varibles to the function
is known as call by value.
Q11) Which operator is used to access the structure member when we use
pointer in structures?
Ans: Arrow operator(->) or member selection operator.
Q12) What are the disadvantages of the pointer?
Ans: a.Debugging becomes difficult task.
b.Direct access of memory loose data security
Q13) Which arithmetic operations are allowed in pointers?
Ans: Addition and Subtraction.
Q14) What is a near pointer?
Ans: A pointer which can store an address value between 0 to 65,535.
near pointer requires 2 bytes of memory.
Q15) What is a far pointer?
Ans: A pointer which can store an address value between 0 to 232-1.
far pointer requires four bytes of memory.
Q16) What is a generic pointer?
Ans: A pointer which can store any type of address, that pointer is known as
generic pointer.
Q17) How to represent a generic pointer ?
Ans: void * is used to represent generic pointer
Q18) what is wild pointer?
Ans: A pointer which is not initialized with any addresss is known as wild
pointer
Q19) What is single pointer?
71

Ans: A single pointer stores address of a variable.


example: int *ptr,val;
val=54;
ptr=&val;

Q20) What is double pointer?


Ans: A pointer which stores address of single pointer

OPERATIONS ON BITS: BIT OPERATORS,BIT FIELD
Q1) What are bit-wise operators ex?
Ans: Bit wise AND(&),bit wise OR(|),bit wise exclusive OR(^),shift
left(<<),shift right(>>) and ones complement ( ~) are called bit
operators.
Q2)

What is bit field ?

Ans : A bit field is a common idiom used in computer programming to compactly


store a value as a short series of bits. A bit field is most commonly used to
represent integral types of known, fixed bit-width. Perhaps the most well
known usage of bit-fields is to represent single bit flags, with each flag stored
in a separate bit.
A bit field is distinguished from a bit array in that the latter is used to store a
large set of bits indexed by integers and is often wider than any integral type
supported by the language. Bit fields, on the other hand, typically fit within a
machine word, and the denotation of bits is independent of their numerical
index.

CHAPTER 5.8
MISCELLANIOUS AND ADVANCED FUNCTIONS:The goto statement,
working with unions, the comma operator:
Q1) What is the use of goto statement?
Ans: goto is one type of unconditional jumping statements.
goto statement is used to branch unconditionally from one point to
another point in the specified block of a program
Q2) What is union?
Ans: A union, is a collection of variables of different types, just like a structure.
However, with unions, you can only store information in one field at any one
time

Q3) What is the size of the memory allocated by union?


Ans: The compiler allocates a piece of storage that is large enough to hold the
largest variable type in the union.
Q4) What is the use of comma operator?
Ans: The comma operator is used to separate the items.

IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES
1. Distinguish between getchar() and gets() functions.

getchar()
Used to receive a single character.

gets()
Used to receive a single string with
white spaces.
It requires a single argument.

Does not require any argument.

2. Distinguish between scanf() and gets() functions.

scanf()
Strings with spaces cannot be
accessed.
All data types can be accessed.
Spaces and tabs are not acceptable as
a part of the input string.
Any number of characters, integers,
float etc. can be read.

gets()
Strings with any number of spaces
can be accessed.
Only character array data can be
accessed.
Spaces and tabs are perfectly
acceptable of the input string as a
part.
Only one string can be read at a time.

3. Distinguish between printf() and puts() functions.

puts()

printf()

It can display only one string at a


time.

It can display any number of


characters, integers or strings at a
time.
Each data type is considered
separately depending upon the
conversion specifications.

No such conversion specifications.


Every thing is treated as string.

124

4. What is the difference between a pre increment and a post increment operation?
A pre-increment operation such as ++a, increments the value of a by 1, before a is
used for computation, while a post increment operation such as a++, uses the
current value of a in the calculation and then increments the value of a by 1.

5. Distinguish between break and continue statement.

Break

Continue

Used to terminate the loops or to exit


from loop or switch.

Used to transfer the control to the


start of loop.
The continue statement when
The break statement when executed
executed cause immediate termination
causes immediate termination of loop.
of the current iteration of the loop.
6. Distinguish between while and do-while loops.
While loop

Do-while loop

The while loop tests the condition


before each iteration.
If the condition fails initially the loop
is skipped entirely even in the first
iteration.

The do-while loop tests the condition


after the first iteration.
Even if the condition fails initially the
loop is executed once.

7. Distinguish between local and global variables


Local variables

Global variables

These are declared within the body of


the function.
These variables can be referred only
within the function in which it is
declared.
The value of the variables disappear
once the function finishes its
execution.

These are declared outside the


function.
These variables can be referred from
any part of the program.
The value of the variables disappear
only after the entire execution of the
program.

8. State the differences between the function prototype the function definition
Function prototype

Function Definition

125

It declares the function.

It defines the function.

It ends with a semicolon.

It doesnt ends with a semicolon.

The declaration need not include


parameters.

It should include names for the


parameters.

9. Compare and contrast recursion and iteration


Both involve repetition.
Both involve a termination test.
Both can occur infinitely.
Iteration
Iteration explicitly user a repetition
structure.
Iteration terminates when the loop
continuation condition fails.
Iteration keeps modifying the
counter until the loop continuation
condition fails.
Iteration normally occurs within a
loop so, the extra memory assigned
is omitted.
It reduces the processors operating
time.

Recursion
Recursion achieves repetition
through repeated function calls.
Recursion terminates when a base
case is recognized.
Recursion keeps producing simple
versions of the original problem
until the base case is reached.
Recursion causes another copy of
the function and hence a
considerable memory space is
occupied.
It increases the processors
operating time.

10. State the uses of pointers.

Pointers provided an easy way to represent multidimensional arrays.

Pointers increase the execution speed.

Pointers reduce the length and complexity of program.

11. What is the difference between the address stored in a pointer and a value at the
address?
The address stored in the pointer is the address of another variable. The value
stored at that address is a stored in a different variable. The indirection operator
(*) returns the value stored at the address.
12. What is the difference between the indirection operator and the address of
operator?

126

The indirection operator (*) returns the value of the address stored in a pointer.
The address of operator (&) returns the memory address of the variable.

13. State the difference between call by value and call by reference.
Call by value

Call by reference
Formal parameter is a reference
variable.

Formal parameter is a local variable.

It cannot change the actual parameter. It can change the actual parameter.
Actual parameter must be a
variable.

Actual parameter may be a constant,


a variable, or an expression.

14. State the difference between arrays and structures.


Arrays

Structures

An array is an single entity


representing a collection of data
items of same data types.

A structure is a single entity


representing a collection of data
items of different data types.

Individual entries in an array are


called elements.

Individual entries in a structure are


called members.

An array declaration reserves enough


memory space for its elements.
There is no keyword to represent
arrays but the square braces []
preceding the variable name tells us
that we are dealing with arrays.

The structure definition reserves


enough memory space for its
members.
The keyword struct tells us that we
are dealing with structures.

Initialization of elements can be done Initialization of members can be done


during array declaration.
only during structure definition.
The elements of an array are stored
in sequence of memory locations.

The members of a structure are stored


in sequence of memory locations.

The array elements are accessed by


the square braces [] within which the
index is placed.

The members of a structure are


accessed by the dot operator.

127

Its general format:


Data type array name [size];

Example:
int sum [100];

Its general format is:


struct structure name
{
data_type structure member 1;
data_type structure member 2;
.
.
.
data_type structure member N;
} structure variable;
Example:
struct student
{
char studname [25];
int rollno;
} stud1;

15. State the difference between structures and unions.


Structures
Each member in a structure
occupies and uses its own memory
space.
The keyword struct tells us that we
are dealing with structures.
All the members of a structure can
be initialized.
More memory space is required
since each member is stored in a
separate memory locations.
Its general format is:
struct structure name
{
data_type structure Member1;
data_type structure Member2;
.
.
data_type structure Member N;
} structure variable;
Example:
struct student
{
char studname[25];
int rollno;
} stud1;

Unions
All the members of a union use the
same memory space.
The keyword union tells us that we
are dealing with unions.
Only one member of a union can be
initialized.
Less memory space is required
since all members are stored in the
same memory locations.
Its general formula is:
union union name
{
data_type structure Member1;
data_type structure Member2;
.
.
data_type structure Member N;
} union variable;
Example:
union student
{
char studname[25];
int rollno;
} stud1;
