Q:

What would be the output of the following program?

main()

{

    extern int fun ( float );

    int a;

    a = fun ( 3. 14 );

    printf ("%d", a);

}

int fun ( aa )

float aa ;

{

     return ( (int) aa );

}

Answer

Error occurs because we have mixed the ANSI prototype with K & R style of function definition.


When we use ANSI prototype for a function and pass a float to the function it is promoted to a double. When the function accepts this double into a float a type mismatch occurs hence the error.


The remedy for this error could be to define the function as :


int fun (float aa)


{


  ....


}

Q:

Point out the error in the following program.

main()

{

    char mybuf[] = "Zanzibar" ;

    char yourbuf[] = " Zienckewiz";

    char * const ptr = mybuf;

     *ptr = 'a';

     ptr = yourbuf;

}

Answer

ptr pointer is constant. In ptr = yourbuf the program is trying to modify it, hence an error.

Q:

Write a c program for linear search.

Answer

#include<stdio.h>
int main(){

    int a[10],i,n,m,c=0;

    printf("Enter the size of an array: ");
    scanf("%d",&n);

    printf("Enter the elements of the array: ");
    for(i=0;i<=n-1;i++){
         scanf("%d",&a[i]);
    }

    printf("Enter the number to be search: ");
    scanf("%d",&m);
    for(i=0;i<=n-1;i++){
         if(a[i]==m){
             c=1;
             break;
         }
    }
    if(c==0)
         printf("The number is not in the list");
    else
         printf("The number is found");

    return 0;
}

Sample output:
Enter the size of an array: 5
Enter the elements of the array: 4 6 8 0 3
Enter the number to be search: 0
The number is found

Q:

What do the functions atoi(), itoa() and gcvt () do? Show how would you use them in a program.

Answer

atoi()         Converts a string to an integer.


itoa()         Convert an integer to a string


gcvt()        Converts a floating-point number to a string


 


#include "stdlib.h"


main()


{


      char s[] = "12345";


      char buffer [15], string[20];


      int i;


      


      i = atoi (s);


      printf("\n%d",i);


 


       gcvt (20.141672, 4, buffer);


       printf ("\n%s", buffer);


 


       itoa(15, string,2);


        printf ("\n%s", string);


}

Q:

We want to round off x, a Float to an Int value. The correct way to do so would be

A) Y = ( int ) ( x + 0.5 ) ; B) Y = int ( x + 0.5) ;
C) Y = ( int ) x + 0.5; D) Y = ( int ) ( ( int ) x + 0.5 )
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Y = ( int ) ( x + 0.5 ) ;

Explanation:

Rounding off a value means replacing it by a nearest value that is approximately equal or smaller or greater to the given number.

 

y = (int)(x + 0.5); here x is any float value. To roundoff, we have to typecast the value of x by using (int)

 

Example:

 

#include

 

int main ()

 

{

 

  float x = 2.6;

 

  int y = (int)(x + 0.5);

 

  printf ("Result = %d\n", y );

 

  return 0;

 

}

 

Result : 3
