PART – B
1) Write a program to display the following pattern:
*
**
***
2) Explain the formatted functions and unformatted functions with examples.
3) Write a C program involving iterations to do 2D matrix multiplication of size 2X2.
4) Write a C program involving iterations to do 2D matrix addition of size 2X2.
5) Explain the String Standard functions with suitable syntax.
6) Develop a program in C that searches for a target element in an array of N elements. Return the
position of the target element or indicate its absence.
7) Explain the For loops and nested for loops with example.
8) Write a C program involving iterations to do 2D matrix subtraction of size 2X2.
9) Illustrate with examples of character I/O functions.
10) Explain the different types of Arrays with suitable program.
11) Develop a C program for a string, str1[20] = "???", str2 = "????", and perform the following
string handling functions(all 7 operations)
12) In many applications, organizing data is crucial for efficient operations such as searching and
analysis. The task is to sort an array of integers in ascending order using a simple and reliable
approach in the C programming language. Write a C program to Search an element in an array.
