REG NO SCT 121-0540/2023 TITLE INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING AND ALGORITHMS. CAT 2 Introduction to Programming 1. Discuss the term pointer as used in C Programming. Pointers are features of C programming language that allow us to store addresses or memory locations rather than values. 2.Write a C program that adds three numbers by pointing to these numbers and outputting their sum by dereferencing the pointers.
/*#include <stdio.h>// header files for starndad library functions
int main() // the main function { int num1, num2 , num3; // we declare and initialize the three integers int* ptr1, * ptr2, * ptr3; // declaration of the pointers printf("Enter the three numbers:"); // this is from the user to input. scanf_s("%d %d %d",&num1,&num2,&num3);//we store our values //we assign the address of the numbers to their pointers. ptr1 = &num1; ptr2 = &num2; ptr3 = &num3; int sum = *ptr1 + *ptr2 + *ptr3; //we add the numbers by dereferencing the pointers. //the asteric symbolises the dereferencer operator. printf("The sum is :%d\n",sum);//we print the sum of the numbers return 0; }

-Programiz.com. 2 3.Discuss 5 convections used in C Programming 1 Naming Conventions: Meaningful Names: Choose descriptive names for variables, functions, and other identifiers. Clear names improve code readability. Consistent Style: Stick to a consistent naming convention style throughout your codebase/ codeblock (e.g., camelCase for naming functions). Avoid Abbreviations: Use full words instead of abbreviations for better clarity. Indentation and Braces: Consistent Indentation: Properly indent code blocks (e.g., loops, conditionals, functions) this improves readability of the codeblocks. Brace Placement: Place opening braces { on the same line as the function or control statement, and closing braces } on a new line. Comments: Explain Complex Sections of your code: Use comments to explain unique or non- obvious parts of your code. Document Functions: Describe the purpose, parameters, and return values of functions using comments. Constants: Use #define or const: Define constants using #define or const to improve code maintainability. Meaningful Names: Give meaningful names to constants (e.g., MAX_SIZE, PI). Function Declarations and Definitions: Function Naming: Use descriptive names for functions (e.g., firstName or lastName). Separate Declarations and Definitions: Declare functions in header files and define them in source files. This separation enhances modularity.

-Programiz.com. 2 Assignment 1: 1. Using C, make a program that given the array int numbers = {45, 29, 11, 89, 42, 100, 34, 22, 32}, it can sort them from highest to lowest.
1#include <stdio.h> 2. void sortDescending(int arr[], int n) { 3. int i, g, max_index, temp; 4. 5. // One after the other move the boundary of the unsorted subarray 6. for (i = 0; i < n - 1; i++) { 7. // Find the maximum element in the given unsorted array 8. max_index = i; 9. for (g = i + 1; g < n; g++) { 10. if (arr[g] > arr[max_index]) { 11. max_index = g; 12. } 13. } 14. 15. // Swap the found maximum element with the first element 16. temp = arr[max_index]; 17. arr[max_index] = arr[i]; 18. arr[i] = temp; 19. } 20. } 21. int main() { 22. int numbers[] = { 45, 29, 11, 89, 42, 100, 34, 22, 32 }; 23. int n = sizeof(numbers) / sizeof(numbers[0]); 24. 25. sortDescending(numbers, n); 26. 27. printf("Sorted array from highest to lowest: \n"); 28. for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { 29. printf("%d ", numbers[i]); 30. } 31. printf("\n"); 32. 33. return 0; 34. }

-Programiz.com. 2 2Write a C program that generates a random number between 1 and 100 and asks the user to guess it. Use a do-while loop to give the user multiple chances until they guess the correct number. #include<stdio.h> #include<stdlib.h> #include<time.h> int main() { int randomNumber,Guess,attempts = 0; srand(time(0)); randomNumber = rand() % 100 + 1; printf("Try and guess the number between 1 and 100\n"); do { printf("Enter your guess"); scanf_s("%d", &Guess); attempts++; if (Guess>randomNumber) { printf("The number is too large! Pick another number.\n");
} else if (Guess<randomNumber){ printf("Its too low!! Try again.\n");
} else { printf("Wow you made the right guess in %d attempts.\n",attempts); }
} while ("guess!=randomNumber"); return 0; }

-Programiz.com. 2 3.Write a C program to convert a given any integer to a Roman number. >
Roman numerals are represented by seven different symbols: I, V, X, L, C, D and M.
Symbol Value I 1 V 5 X 10 L 50 C 100 D 500 M 1000 Example Expected Output: Original integer: 12 Roman number of the said integer: XII
#include<stdio.h> #include<string.h> int main() { char romanSymbols[] = { 'M','D','C','L','X','V','I' }; int romanValues[] = { 1000,500,100,50,10,5,1 }; int number; char romanNumeral[20]; printf("Enter an integer value:"); scanf_s("%d", &number); int i = 0; while (number > 0); { if (number >= romanValues[i]) { strcat_s(romanNumeral, &romanSymbols[i]); number -= romanValues[i]; } else { i++; } } printf("Original integer;%d\n", number); printf("Roman number of the integer;%s\n", romanNumeral);
