PART – B & C
1. Apply the steps of a simple algorithm using a flowchart or CO1 BTL-3 Apply
pseudocode for the following.
(i) Find the maximum of three numbers.
(ii)Check if a given number is prime.
2. Demonstrate how to declare variables of different data types in CO1 BTL-3 Apply
a C program.
3. Examine the use of switch-case constructs in C with an example CO1 BTL-3 Apply
program. Compare how nested if statements differ from switch
statements in terms of readability and performance.
, 4. Build a diagram to illustrate the process of program execution, CO1 BTL-3 Apply
highlighting the interaction of various components such as
compilation, linking, and runtime. Explain each component’s
role in the execution process.
5. Compare the use of scanf() and printf() functions with other CO1 BTL-4 Analyze
input/output methods in C. Discuss their advantages and
limitations in different scenarios.
6. Dissect the functionality and use cases of different types of CO1 BTL-4 Analyze
operators in C. Examine how operator precedence and
associativity affect the evaluation of expressions involving
these operators.
7. Apply a C program that uses loops to demonstrate where CO1 BTL-3 Apply
different loop statements (for, while, do-while) might be used.
Show examples for each type of loop.
8. Explore the use of decision-making statements in C. Write a CO1 BTL-3 Apply
program to determine whether a given number is positive,
negative, or zero using if, else if, and else statements.
UNIT II - ARRAYS AND STRINGS
Introduction to Arrays. One dimensional array: Declaration, Initialization, Accessing the elements, Bubble sort,
Selection sort, Linear search, Binary search. Two-dimensional arrays: Declaration, Initialization, Accessing
the elements, Matrix Operations (Addition, Scaling, Multiplication, Transpose). Strings: Reading, Writing,
String handling functions, String Arrays.

it with values, and accessing those values using a loop. Write a
program to find the largest and smallest element in an array.
2. Develop a C program that implements the bubble sort algorithm. CO2 BTL-3 Apply
Given an integer array, sort it in ascending order using bubble sort.
After sorting, print the sorted array. Ensure the program handles
arrays of various sizes and values.
