TWO MARKS
1.Define scanf() function:
Scan f () function is used to read the value from the input device.

2.Define printf () function:

Print f ()function is used to display data on the monitor.

3.Define decision making statement:

These statements are used to execute particular set of instruction for based on cert ain
condition.
Ex:if, if else, nested if, if else if ladder, switch.

4.Define looping statement :

Looping statement are used to execute a group of instruction repeatedly at till some
condition is satisfied.
Example: while, do while, for loop.

5.Define unconditional statement:

This condition is used to transfer the control to other statement without checking any
condition.
Example : goto, break.

6.Define simple if statement:

It is used to execute some statements for a particular condition.

7.Define switch statement :

is a multi branch decision statement.

8.Define for statement :

The for loop is entry controlled loop that provides a more concise loop control structure.

9.Define goto statement:

Goto statement can transfer the control to any place in a program. It is useful to provide
branching within a loop.

10.Define break statement:

Break statement exit from the loop can be accomplished by using the break statement.

11.Define exit statement:

It is used to terminate the program it is same as break statement.

12.what is getchar() :
Getchar () function is used to read one character at a time from the standard input
device.

13.Define putchar() :
Single character can be displayed using the function putchar(). The function putchar()

14. Define Array

Array is a collection of similar type of values
All values are stored in continuous memory locations
All values share a common name
Linear data structure. The elements are organized in a sequential order.

15. Name any two library functions for handling string

strlen() finds the length of a string. It returns an integer value. It counts the no. of
characters except null character & returns the count
strlen(str)
strcpy() copies the source string into destination string. So, the source string should
be enough to store the destination string.
strcpy(source,destination)

3. Declare a float array of size 5 and assign 5 values to it

Declaration : float price[5];

Initialization : float price[5]={200.50,150.25,25.5,55.75,40.00}; (or)
float price[]={1.2,3.4,6.5,7.8,9.8};

4. Give an example for initialization of string array

String is a character array.

Collection of one or more characters- enclosed with in double quotes
Declaration : char name[10];

5. How a character array is is declared

Declaration : char name[n];

This array can store n-1 characters.

6. Write example code to declare two dimensional array

Two dimensional array is an array with two subscript values. First subscript specifies the
row & second subscript specifies the column. Used to process matrix operations.
Declaration : datatype array_name [r][c];

int matrixA[10][10];
This matrixA can store 100 elements in a row major order.

7. What is mean & median of a list of elements?

Mean : Average of the N elements can be computed by

sum of N elements/N
Ex: 2,1,3,4,5
Mean = (2+1+3+4+5)/5 = 3
Median : Middle element of a list. To find the median, the list must be sorted first.
If N is odd then Median= (N+1)/2
Ex: 1,2,3,4,5
Median= 6/2 . The element at 3rd position is the median
If N is even then then Median is the average of
Median= (a[(N+1)/2]+a[(N-1)/2])/2
Ex: 1,2,3,4,5,6
Median=(a[3]+a[2])/2
=4+3/2
=3.5

8. Define Searching

Searching is a process of finding the position of a given element in a list. The searching
is successful if the element is found. There are two types of searching.
Linear Search
Binary Search

9. Define Sorting

Sorting is a process of arranging the elements either in ascending order or descending

order.

10. Sort the following elements using selection sort method. 23,55,16,78,2

Step1:Find smallest element in the list & exchange the element with first element of the
list
2,55,16,78,23
Step2: Find second smallest value & exchange it with the second element of the list
2,16,55,78,23
Step 3: Continue the process until all the elements are arranged in the order
2,16,23,78,55
Step 4: 2,16,23,55,78
