C Programming Test - Answer Key

1. What is an array? Give an example with printing an array (5 marks)

An array is a collection of elements, all of the same type, stored in


contiguous memory locations. Arrays allow indexed access, where each
element can be referenced using its position in the array (starting at
index 0). This makes it easy to store and access multiple values.

Example Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int arr[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
printf("%d ", arr[i]);
}
return 0;
}
Output: 1 2 3 4 5

2. Write any sorting algorithm steps with an example (5 marks)


Bubble Sort is one of the simplest sorting algorithms. It works by
repeatedly swapping adjacent elements if they are in the wrong order.
The process is repeated until the array is sorted.

Steps:
Compare the first two elements.
Swap them if the first is larger than the second.
Move to the next element and repeat until the end of the array.
Repeat the entire process until no swaps are needed.
Example Code:
#include <stdio.h>
void bubbleSort(int arr[], int n) {
for (int i = 0; i < n - 1; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < n - i - 1; j++) {
if (arr[j] > arr[j + 1]) {
int temp = arr[j];
arr[j] = arr[j + 1];
arr[j + 1] = temp;
}
}
}
}

3. Write counting from 1-20 using while, do-while, and for loop (10
marks)
To count from 1 to 20, the while, do-while, and for loops can be used.

While Loop:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int i = 1;
while (i <= 20) {
printf("%d ", i);
i++;
}
return 0;
}
Do-While Loop:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int i = 1;
do {
printf("%d ", i);
i++;
} while (i <= 20);
return 0;
}
For Loop:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
for (int i = 1; i <= 20; i++) {
printf("%d ", i);
}
return 0;
}
4. What is a pointer? Write the syntax of malloc() (5 marks)

A pointer is a variable that stores the memory address of another


variable. Pointers are essential for dynamic memory allocation.

Syntax of malloc():
ptr = (castType*) malloc(size_in_bytes);
Example:
int* ptr = (int*) malloc(5 * sizeof(int));

5. Get the sum of these two numbers (15 and 10) using a function (5
marks)
In this task, we create a function that takes two integers as input and
returns their sum.

Example Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int getSum(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}
int main() {
int a = 15, b = 10;
int sum = getSum(a, b);
printf("Sum: %d", sum);
return 0;
}

6. What is a string? Write a program to reverse a string given in the


input (10 marks)
A string in C is a sequence of characters terminated by a null character
('\0').

Example Code to Reverse a String:


#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main() {
char str[100], rev[100];
int len, i, j;

printf("Enter a string: ");


gets(str);

len = strlen(str);

for (i = len - 1, j = 0; i >= 0; i--, j++) {


rev[j] = str[i];
}
rev[j] = '\0';

printf("Reversed string: %s", rev);


return 0;
}
7. Write the 5 differences between if-else and switch (10 marks)

Syntax: if-else uses conditions; switch uses cases for a single


expression.
Data Types: if-else supports various data types; switch is limited to
integers and characters.
Execution: switch is more efficient when comparing multiple values
compared to if-else.
Readability: switch is more readable when dealing with multiple
conditions.
Use Cases: if-else is used for complex conditions; switch is preferred
when comparing a single variable.
