(9 x 1 = 9 Marks)

1 The -------------- function is used to display output on the screen M 1.03

1.0 R
Let x and y are two integer variables and y = 10. What is the value
2 M 1.03
1.0 U
of x after executing the statement x = y++;
3 Write syntax of do – while loop M 2.04
2.0 R
4 -------statement
statement in C is used to exit from the current loop M 2.07
2. R
5 && is a --------------operator
operator M 2.02
2.0 R
6 By default, --------- is the return type of C function M 3.01 R
Normally a function can return a single value at a time( state
7 M 3.01 U
True/False)
8 Define array. M 4.01 R
The statement A[] = {{1,2,3}, {4,5,6}} will declare an array of
9 M 4.03
4.0 U
size --------------

PART B

II. Answer any eight questions from the following. Each question carries 3 marks

(8 x 3 = 24 Marks)
Area of a triangle is given by the formula

where a, b and c are the sides of the

1 M 1.01 A
triangle .
Draw a Flow chart to find the area of triangle for given values.
 Describe about precedence and associativity of operators with
2 M 1.03 U
example
3 Write the syntax of if – else ladder. Also give an example M 2.03 R
Let no = 10, write the output of the following program segment.
int first = 0;
int second=1;
int next,i;
for(i=0; i<no; i++){
4 M 2.04 U
printf(“%d\t”,first);
next = first + second;
first = second;
second = next;
}
The following code segment is expected find the sum of first n
natural numbers. Identify the error in the program segment.
int i = 0, sum ;
5 M 2.04 U
while (i>n)
{sum = sum+i;
}
Rewrite the following code using while loop
6 for (i=0;i<n;i++) M 2.04 U
printf(“%d”,i);

7
Differentiate between a function prototype, function definition and
M 3.01 U
