Subject : Numerical Analysis and Computer Programming

Unit III

Q.1 Differentiate between C and C++ Programming Language.

Q.2 Define and describe the constants used in C with statements and

appropriate examples.

Q.3 Describe the different types of variables and their declaration with example

of each.

Q.4 Find errors (if any) and explain why for the following statements:

(i) Int X;

(ii) float letter, DIGIT.

(iii) double = P, q
(iv) exponent alpha, beta;
(v) m, n, z : INTEGER
(vi) long int m; count;
(vii) long float temp;

Q.5 Draw the basic structure of C programs. Explain its different sections in brief with
suitable examples.

Q.6 Write a program to find the area and perimeter of a rectangle using the formulae:

area = breadth*height

perimeter = 2* (breadth + height)

where breadth and height are in centimeters and can be in fraction.

Q.7 Write a program to find theorem and perimeter of a triangle from the lengths of its 3 sides

a, b and c (in inches and can be in fraction) :

perimeter = a + b + c
 area =√ s(s-a) (s-b) (s-c)

where s =( a + b + c)/2

note that triangle can be formed if a < b+c and b < a+c and c< a+b.

Q. 8 Identify integer type variable among specifiers ------ char, double, long and the long

double. (2008)

Q.9 Describe and write two examples each of the following:

(i) IDE (Integrated Development Environment)

(ii) Compiler Directives

(iii) Header-files in C/C++

(iv) Library files in C/C++ (2008)

Q.10 Give the range of maximum/ minimum values with number of storage-bytes in char, int,

Long, float, double, long double, unsigned char, unsigned int, and unsigned double types

of variables in C/C++. (2008)

Q.11 Explain automatic type conversions among char, int, long, float and double data types in

C/C++ with examples. How to override it in any statement? (2008)

Unit IV

Q.1 Describe logical operators in C briefly.

Q.2 Describe how branching and looping is done in C with proper example.

Q.3 Find errors (if any) and explain why for the following statements:
i) scanf(“%c%f%d”, city ,&price,&year);
ii) printf(“a=%d b=%fn c=%c”\n,a,b,c);
iii) if(code>1);
a=b+c
else
 a=0.
iv) name[] = getchar();
v) putchar(‘answer\n’);
vi) for( i=1; i<R; ++i )
}

printf(“*”);

}
vii) scanf(“%c %d %d ”, *code, &count , Root);

Q.6 Write a program to print multiplication table from 1 to 10 using do-while loop.

Q. 7 List the different data types in C language, their sizes, and their ranges on a lb bit
machine.
Q.8 Write a program to solve a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 (a ≠ 0) . Tackle the 3 cases
d=0, d<0, d>0 (d = discriminant = b2 = b2 – 4 ac) series rately with suitable remarks. The
roots are given by:

- b ± √ b2 – 4ac
_____________
2a

The imaginary roots should be printed in the form of a + ib and a – ib.

Q.9 Write down syntax of scanf, printf, putchar and getchar functions. (2008)

Q.10. What is operator precedence? Draw precedence table for C/C++ language
operator. (2008)

explained: (2008)
(i) Nested do-while
(ii) Nested if
(iii) for loop
(iv) Nested switch
(v) Dangling else

(ii) s.d. = √ n

_
(iii) where x = mean.
