3. interpreters in the translation process of a program. How do they
affect the efficiency of program execution?
K2 1 Unit -1 Propose a scenario in which an interpreter would be more

beneficial than a compiler. Justify your choice with specific examples
K3 1 Write a C program that takes two integers as input from the user
Unit -1 and outputs their sum, difference, product, and quotient. Explain
5.
the steps involved in writing this program.
K1 2 Unit -2 How do you declare a multidimensional array in C?
6.
K1 2 Describe the different data types available in C. Differentiate
Unit -2 between primary (basic), derived, and user- defined data
7.
types
K2 2 What are operators in C? Explain different types of operators such
as arithmetic, relational, logical, bitwise, assignment, conditional
Unit -2
8. (?:), and special operators like & and *. Illustrate each with code
examples
K2 2 Discuss the various types of operators in C, including arithmetic,
relational, logical, assignment, and bitwise operators. Write a C
Unit -2 program that demonstrates the use of different operators within a
9.
single expression and explain the order of precedence and
associativity.
K3 2 Compare and contrast different control structures in C: if-else,
Unit -2 switch, for, while, and do-while loops. Write examples to illustrate
10.
their syntax and appropriate usage scenarios.
K2 3 Unit-3 What is the function of continue in loops?
11.
K3 3 Write a C program that accepts a menu choice from the user using a
switch statement. Implement options using loops and control flow:
Unit-3 e.g., calculate factorial (with do-while), check for prime number
12.
(while), and use break to exit the menu. Use goto to return to the
menu after each option
K3 3 Define and explain the use of the following control constructs in C:
Unit-3 do-while loop, switch statement, break, continue, exit() function,
13.
and goto with labels. Provide syntax and brief examples for each.
K4 3 Define and explain the use of the following control constructs in C:
Unit-3 do-while loop, switch statement, break, continue, exit() function,
14.
and goto with labels. Provide syntax and brief examples for each.
K4 3 Differentiate between break, continue, and exit() in terms of
15. program control flow. In what situations would each be used
Unit-3
appropriately? Write a program using a switch statement and
demonstrate the use of break and exit() within it.
K1 4 Unit-4 What is a union in C and how is it declared?
16.
K2 4 Unit-4 Describe the purpose and use of the malloc(), calloc(), realloc(), and
17.
free() functions in C. How do these functions differ from each other?
K3 4 What is a pointer to a function? How can functions be called
through function pointers? Write a program that uses an array of
Unit-4
18. function pointers to implement a simple calculator supporting add,
subtract, multiply, and divide operations.
K4 4 Define a union and explain how it differs from a structure in terms
of memory usage and application. Provide a program to
Unit-4
19. demonstrate how a union works and explain what happens to
memory when multiple members are used.
K5 4 Write a C program that dynamically allocates memory for an array
Unit-4 of integers using malloc(), initializes the array with values, and then
20.
prints these values. Ensure that you properly free the allocated
memory at the end of the program.

21.
K2 5 Write a program to open a file in write mode using fopen(), write
Unit-5 user-input text into the file using fprintf(), then close the file using
22.
fclose(). Afterward, reopen the file in read mode and use getc() to
read and display the content of the file.
K3 5 Explain how the #define and #include directives work in the C
preprocessor. Provide examples demonstrating how #define is used
Unit-5 for constants and macros, and how #include is used to include
23.
standard and user-defined header files.
K4 5 Explain the concept of file handling in C. List and define the
different file accessing functions such as fopen(), fclose(), getc(),
Unit-5
24. putc(), and fprintf(). Discuss the role of the file pointer in file
operations.
K5 5 Evaluate the differences between structures and unions in C
Unit-5
25. programming. When would you choose to use a union instead of a
structure?
