Unit 4- Programming in C
What is C? Explain its development process.
C is a high level language because no need for any architecture knowledge in normal English form.
C is a compiler because it can translate the whole program at a time so we can call compiler. C is structured
programming language. It is called also procedural oriented programming language, function oriented
language, module programming language. It is simple, reliable and easy to use.

What are the features of C? What are its advantages and disadvantages?
C is a computer language and a programming tool which has grown popular because programmers
preferred it. It is a tricky language but a masterful one.
The C programming languages has the following features:
i) It has small size.
ii) It has extensive use of function call.
iii) It is a strong structural language having powerful data definition methods.
iv) It has low level (Bit Wise) programming available.
v) It can handle low level activities.
vi) Pointer makes it very strong for memory manipulations.
vii) It has level constructors.
viii) It can produce efficient programs.
ix) It can be complied on variety of computers.
Advantage of C language
 It is machine independent programming language.
 It is easy to learn and implement C language.
 It can be implemented from mobile device to mainframe computers.
 It is the mother of all modern programming language.
Disadvantage of C Language
 There is no runtime checking.
 It has poor error detection systems.
 On large programs, it is hard to fix errors.
 It does not support modern programming methodologies oriented programming language.

What is preprocessor? Explain with its types.

The compiler of C has a preprocessor built into it. Lines that begin with # are called pre-processor
directives. Each C program must start with proper header files (i.e.<stdio.h>) starting with '#', sign, 'include'
and a header file name enclosed within triangle brackets.
What is header file? List the header files with some functions, where are they used?
A file that is defined to be included at the beginning of a program in C language that contains the
definitions of data types and declarations of variables used by the functions in the program is called header
file.
• Header files commonly contain forward declarations of classes, subroutines, variables, and other
identifiers.
• The header file in c is called standard library functions.
• The entire header file has the extension .h
• A header file is used to define constants, variables, macros and functions that may be common to
several applications.
• The updating and reading data of any function can be performed by using the header files.
Some of the frequent used header files are explain below:
S.N. Header File Description Main Functions
1 stdio.h Standard input and output fpen(), fclose(), rename(), gets(), puts(),
getchar(), scanf(), printf() etc.
2 conio.h Old MS-DOS compiler header file, getch(), getche()
used for console input & output.
3 math.h Mathematical calculation in C sin(x), cos(x), log(x), pow(x,2), sqrt(x),
program. cbrt(x), ceil(x), floor(x) etc.
4 complex.h Complex arithmetic cpow(x,p), csqrt(x), ctan(x), ctanh(x),
cabs(x)
5 string.h String / Words manipulation strlen(y), strcpy(z,y), strcmp(z,y),
function strcat(z,y), strupr(y), strlwr(y) etc.
6 ctype.h Character manipulation type toupper(y), tolower(y), isupr(y), isspace(),
header file isalnu(y), toascii(y) etc.
7 stdlib.h General purpose standard rand(), malloc(), calloc(), abort(), exit()
library. abs(), free() etc.
Fundamentals of C
1) What are the character set used in C?
A group of alphabetic, numeric and other characters that have some relationship with C programming
language and recognized by compiler is called Character set. A character set can also contain additional
characters with other code values.
The keywords, identifiers and other variables are constructed by using character set. The character set
consists of following elements.
1) Alphabets: = Uppercase (i.e. A,B,.........Y,Z) and Lowercase (i.e. a,b,...........y,z)
2) Digits: = 0,1,2,................................8,9
3) Special Symbols =+-*/=(),{} <> ' " ! # % & _ ~ \ ; :?
4) White space characters:= blank, new line, tab etc.

2. Define the term identifier, keywords and Tokens.

Identifiers:- Identifiers can be defined as the name of the variables, functions, arrays, structures etc
created by the programmer. They are the fundamentals requirement of any language. The identifiers
are defined according to the following rules:
 Identifiers consists letters and digits.
 First character must be an alphabet or underscore.

Website: www.bkbhusal.com.np 3 YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/BkBhusalEduZone

 Computer Science Reference Note for Grade-XII E-mail ID: [email protected]

 Upper case and lowercase are allowed but not same, i.e. Text not same as text.
 Only one special character underscores (_) will used.
For example, int a_b; Where a and _b are valid identifiers.
Keywords:-
Keywords are the reserved words which have standard, predefined meaning in C language. Keywords
cannot be used as names for the variables or other user defined program elements. There are 32 keywords
available in C. common examples are as follows.
auto double if static break else int
struct case enum long switch char extern
const float near typedef register union continue
far return unsigned default for short void
do goto signed while

Tokens:
In a C source code, the basic element recognized by the compiler is known as tokens. A token is source-
program text that the compiler does not break down into components elements.
 The keywords like int, float, if, for etc.
 Identifiers like main, printf, void etc.
 Constants like a,b,c etc.
 String literals like name, address, phone etc.,and
 Operators like &&, ! etc.
 Punctuation characters such as [ , ] , { , } , ( , ) , ; , : are also tokens.
2) Explain data types used in programming with examples.
Data types:
It is the set of keywords to declare variables. A set of data that specifies the possible range of values in a
program and stored in memory are called data types. Data types are used to define variables before use it.
Types of data types in C.
1) Primary data types
2) Secondary data types
Primary Data Types: The basic fundamental of data having unit feature on C programming is called Primary
Data Type. Example
Data Type Type Memory Require Format Specifies
Char Character 1 byte %C
Int Integer 4/2 byte %d
Float Floating point number 4 byte %f
Long Floating number 4 byte %ld
Double Large floating point number 8 byte %lf

long double Very large floating number 12 byte %lf

Variable:
Variable are simply names that can change the value while executing a program. It allocates memory
space inside a memory of computer. A variable can have only one value assigned to it in every time of
execution of the program. Its value can change in different executions.
 Rules for variable declaration
 They must always begin with a letter, although some systems permit underscore as the first
character.
 White space is not allowed.
 A variable should not be a keyword.
Website: www.bkbhusal.com.np 4 YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/BkBhusalEduZone
 Computer Science Reference Note for Grade-XII E-mail ID: [email protected]

 It should not contain any special characters.

Types of variable
1. Numeric Variable: The variable that store numeric data only is called numeric variable. The numeric
data may be whole number or fractional number. Examples are integer, floating point and double.
2. String Variable: The variable that stores character data only is called string variable. The string data
may be single character or string. Examples are character, array of character (string), table of string.
Constant variable:
A constant is fixed entity. It does not change its value during the entire program execution. Constants can
be classified as:
1. Integer constants 4. String constants
2. Floating point constants 5. Symbolic Constants
3. Character constants 6. Escape sequence constants
Specifier:
The input and output data are formatted by specific pattern. These Patterns are generated by using
specific tokens in C programs. These tokens used to format data are called specifier. Most of the specifier
used by printf and scanf functions. Types of mostly used specifier are explained below.
 Escape Sequence: They are a type of specifier. These non printable characters are used to format
text on the output screen. These escape sequence character are place after backslash \.
Escape sequence Name Meaning
\' Single quote It prints ' in output
\" Double quote It prints " in output
\n New line It creates new line in output display
\t Tab It creates tab or 8 spaces in place of \t

 Format Specifier: The output and input data are display and receive in specific pattern. Format
specifier uses the token % and character(s) after it. It is used to format for all types of data i.e.
integer, float, character and string.
Format Specifier Used by scanf() function
%d , % i Signed integer + or – number o to 9
%f Scans floating point numbers.
%s String, Collection of character i.e. word
%c Character, one single key stroke.

Operator:
An operator is a symbol that operates on a certain data type. The operator generally remains between the
two operands. An expression is a combination of variables, constants, and operators written according to
the syntax of the language. The data items that operators act upon are called operands.

Types of operator
1. Arithmetic Operator(Binary Operator)
2. Relational Operator (Comparison Operator)
3. Logical Operator (Boolean Operator)
4. Assignment Operator
5. Increment and Decrement Operators (Unary Operator)
6. Conditional Operator (Ternary Operator)
7. Bitwise Operator
8. Comma Operator
9. Size of Operator
1. Arithmetic Operator

Website: www.bkbhusal.com.np 5 YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/BkBhusalEduZone

 Computer Science Reference Note for Grade-XII E-mail ID: [email protected]

The arithmetic operators perform arithmetic operations and can be classified into unary and binary
arithmetic operations. The arithmetic operators can operate on any built-in data type. A list of arithmetic
operators and their meanings are given below:
Operator Meaning
+ additional or unary plus
- subtraction or unary minus
* multiplication
/ division
% modulo division (returns remainder after division)
2. Relational Operator
The relational operators help to compare two similar quantities and depending on their relation, take some
decisions. If the condition is true, it evaluates to an integer 1 and zero if the condition is false. The basic
types of relational operator are:
Operator Meaning
< less than
> greater than
<= less than or equal to
>= greater than or equal to
== equal to
!= not equal to
3. Logical Operator
The logical operators are used to give logical value either true or false. They compare or evaluate logical
and relational expressions. There are three logical operators.
Operator Meaning Examples
&& Logical AND (a>b) && (a>c)
|| Logical OR (a>b) || (a>c)
! Logical NOT !(a==b)
4. Increment and Decrement Operators:
The increment and decrement operators are very commonly used in C language. The increment operators
and decrement operators are extensively used in the loops using structures such as for, while, do, etc. The
syntax of the operators is given below.
++<variable name> Pre increment
--<variable name> Pre decrement
<variable name>++ Post increment
<variable name)-- Post decrement
The pre increment operator increases the value of the variable by 1 and then the processing does whereas
post increment first processes and increase the value of it by 1.
5. Conditional Operator:
A conditional operator is very rarely used. This can be carried out with the conditional operator (? : ) An
expression that makes use of the conditional operator is called a conditional expression. This can replace
the if-else statement. The syntax of conditional operator is:

Expression_1 ? expression_2: expression_3

During evaluating the conditional expression, expression_1 is evaluated at the first step. If expression_1 is
true (nonzero), then expression_2 is evaluated and this becomes the value of the conditional expression.
Library function:
The special functions that are well defined in C programming languages are called library functions such as
printf(), scanf(),strlen(), sqrt(), tolower(), toupper(), getchar(), putchar() etc.

Control Structure:
Website: www.bkbhusal.com.np 6 YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/BkBhusalEduZone
 Computer Science Reference Note for Grade-XII E-mail ID: [email protected]

Control structures are those programming constructs which control the flow of program statements
execution in a program. Types of Control Structure
i) Branching / Decision ( Selective Control Structure)
ii) Looping (Repetitive Control Structure)
iii) Jumping (Unconditional Control Structure)
1. Decision (Selective) Control Structure
It is mainly used for decision making. It is also called conditional statements. Selection is made on
the basis of condition. We have options to go when the given condition is true or false. The flow of
program statements execution is totally directed by the result obtained from checking condition.
Types
a) Conditional Statements
i. if statements:
It is used to execute an instruction or block of instructions only if a condition is fulfilled.
Syntax,
if(condition)
{
Statements;
}
E.g. WAP to read a number and find even or odd by using if().
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
int a,r;
printf("enter the number");
scanf("%d",&a);
r=a%2;
if(r==0)
{
printf("number is even %d",a);
}
if(r!=0)
{
printf("number is odd %d",a);
}
getch();
}
ii. if else statements
If the condition is true then the if() portion statements are evaluated otherwise else part of the
statements are evaluated.
Syntax,
if( condition)
{
Block of statements;
}

Website: www.bkbhusal.com.np 7 YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/BkBhusalEduZone

 Computer Science Reference Note for Grade-XII E-mail ID: [email protected]

else
{
Block of statements;
}
E.g. WAP input any two numbers and display the largest one.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
int a,b;
printf("enter the number");
scanf("%d",&a);
printf("enter the number");
scanf("%d",&b);
if(a>b)
{
printf("A is greatest number",a);
}
else
{
printf("B is greatest number",b);
}
getch();
}
iii. if() else if() statements
When we have two or more condition to be checked in a series we can use if else if statement. It is
also known as multiple conditional statement or multipath conditional statement /if else ladder.
Syntax,
if(conditiona 1)
{
Statements 1;
}
else if(condition 2)
{
Statement 2;
}
else if(condition n-1)
{
Statement n-1;
}
else
{
Statement n;
}
}
Website: www.bkbhusal.com.np 8 YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/BkBhusalEduZone
 Computer Science Reference Note for Grade-XII E-mail ID: [email protected]

e.g. WAP to find the largest number among three input number .
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
int a,b,c;
printf("\n Enter any three number");
scanf("%d",&a,&b,&c);
if(a>b&&a>c)
{
printf("\n Largest number is %d",a);
}
else if(b>a&&b>c)
{
printf("\n Largest number is %d", b);
}
else
{
printf("\n Largest number is %d",c);
}
getch();
}

iv. Nested if else statements

An entire if else statement written within the body of if part or else part of another if else statement is
called nested if else statement. It is used when a condition is to be checked inside another condition at a
time in the same program to make decision.
Syntax,
if(condition 1)
{
if(condition 2)
{
Statements 1;
}
else
{
Statements 2;
}
}
else
{
Statement 3;
}
E.g. WAP that reads marks of five subject and calculate total mark and percentage. Also awards
the division on the basis of following criteria.
Website: www.bkbhusal.com.np 9 YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/BkBhusalEduZone
 Computer Science Reference Note for Grade-XII E-mail ID: [email protected]

Percentage division
p>=75 distinction
p>=60 and <75 first
p>=45 and <60 second
p>=35 and <45 third
otherwise failed
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
Void main()
{
int eng,nep,comp,acc,eco,total;
Float per;
printf("Enter the five subject mark");
scanf("%d %d %d %d %d",&eng,&nep,&comp,&acc,&eco);
total=eng+nep+comp+acc+eco;
per=total/5;
if(eng>=35&&nep>=35&&comp>=35&&acc>=35%%eco>=35)
{
if(per>=75)
{
printf("\n Distinction");
else if(per>=60)
{
printf("\n First");
}
else if(per>=45)
{
printf("\n Second");
}
else
{
printf("\n Third");
}
}
else
{
printf("\n You are failed");
}
getch();
}

b) Switch case statements

The switch statement can be used instead of multiple if() else conditional statements. The switch
control statement is mainly used to generate menu based programs.
Website: www.bkbhusal.com.np 10 YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/BkBhusalEduZone
 Computer Science Reference Note for Grade-XII E-mail ID: [email protected]

Syntax,
Switch(expression 1)
{
Case condition 1:
Statements ….
break;
.
.
Case condition n-1:
Statements…….
break;
default:
statement n;
}
E.g. WAP which reads any two integer values from user and calculates sum, difference and
product using switch case statement.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
Void main()
{
int a,b,c,ch;
printf("enter the two number");
Scanf("%d",&a,&b);
printf("\n 1. Sum");
printf("\n 2. Difference");
printf("\n 3. Product");
printf("\n Enter your choice");
Scanf("%d",&ch);
switch(ch)
{
case 1:
c=a+b;
Printf("\n Sum of two number is %d,c);
break;
case 2:
c=a-b;
printf("\n difference of two number is %d,c);
break;
case 3:
c=a*b;
printf("\n product of two number is %d,c);
break;
default:
printf("\n Wrong choice");
}

}
1. Looping Statement
The looping statement is also called repetitive or iterative control structure. Looping statements are the
conditional control flow statements that repeats a certain portion of the program either a specified
number of times or until a particular condition is satisfied or true.
Types of loop
i) For Loop ii) While Loop iii) Do while Loop
1. For Loop:-
The execution of for loop until the condition is true. The for loop is a entry control loop because it
checks the condition at entry point.
Syntax,
for( initialization; condition; increment/ decrement)
{
// statements
}
1. Write a program to print the natural number from 1 to 10.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
int i;
for(i=1;i<=10;i++)
{
printf("/n%d",i);
}
getch();
}
2. Write a program to display even number from 1 to 20 and display their sum also.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
int i, s=0;
for(i=1;i<=20; i=i+2)
{
printf("/n even number are %d",i);
s=s+i;
}
printf("sum of even number is %d", s);
getch();
}
3. Write a program to find out sum of the cubes of first 10 numbers.
# include<stdio.h>
# include<conio.h>
Website: www.bkbhusal.com.np 12 YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/BkBhusalEduZone
 Computer Science Reference Note for Grade-XII E-mail ID: [email protected]

void main()
{
int i,c, sum=0;
for(i=1;i<=10;i++)
{
c=i*i*i;
sum=sum+c;
}
printf("/n sum of cube is %d", sum);
getch();
}

Nested for loop:

When for loop is declared inside another for loop is called nested for loop. The life of the inner for loop
is depending over the outer for loop. If the outer for loop condition is true then inner for loop is
evaluated. And will executes all the statements until condition is true if the inner for loop to be false
then the outer for loop condition is reevaluated and so on.
For example for( initialization; condition; increment/ decrement)
{
for( initialization; condition; increment/ decrement)
{
// statemetns
}
}

1. Display the following output. 2. WAP to display the following output.

10 20 30 40 50 55555
10 20 30 40 50 4444
10 20 30 40 50 333

{ {
printf("\n %d",K); printf("\n %d",R);
} }
printf("\n"); printf("\n");

} }
getch(); getch();
} }
While Loop:-
The while loop is also a entry control loop. While loop first checks whether the initial condition is
true or false and finding it to be true, it will enter the loop and execute the statement.
Syntax,
initialization;
while(condition)
{
// statement
increment/decrement
}
1. Write a program to print even number from 1 to 100.
# include<stdio.h>
# include<conio.h>
void main()
{
int i;
i=2
while<i<=100)
{
printf("%d\t", i)
i=i+2;
}
getch();
}
Do while loop:-
This loop is an exit control loop. This loop runs at least the once even though the termination
condition is set to false. This loop test the condition at exit point hence it is called exit control loop.
The syntax of the loop is similar to while loop.

void main()
{
int num;
char ename[20],eadd[30];
printf("\n enter the how many employee number");
scanf("%d",& num);

Arrays and String Function:
Arrays : An array is a collection of data of the similar type all of which are referred by a single variable
name. for example, instead of using 50 individual variables to store name of 50 students, we can use an
array to store name of 50 students.
Advantage of arrays.
- It is easier for handling similar types of data in a program.
- It is efficient for solving problems like sorting, searching, indexing etc.
- It is easier to solve matrix related problems.
- Graphics manipulations can be easily be done using array.
Disadvantages of arrays.
- It is not possible to hold dissimilar type of data in an array.
- It is difficult to visualize the multi dimensional array.
- It is static in nature so it is difficult to define the size of array during running time.
There are two types
1. One/signal dimensional: The values on an array variable assigned in one row and more than one
column are called signal dimensional array.
Syntax: type array_name[max. size];
Example int n[10];
int age[]= {18,12,19,20,16,16,17};
2. Two/Double dimensional: Two dimensional arrays are capable of storing data in multiple row and
columns.
Syntax: type array_name[No.Rows] [No.Cols];
Example int n[10][5];

Function:
Functions are the building block of statements, which takes some data, manipulate them and can return a
value. Bug free function can be used repeatedly from other part of the program.
Function is a self-contained sub program which can be directly used in program to perform specific task. It
consists a set of statements that take inputs, do some specific computation and produces output. The
commonly repeated task which are used and need to execute many times in program, basically defined as
function. After defining, Function can be used several times in a program. It reduces the code of program
by writing once instead of writing the same code again and again for different inputs. It also makes
program readable, manageable and understandable. A large program is broken into the basic building
blocks known as function.

Function 1 ()
main ( )
{ {
………….
function 1( ) }
…………… function 2 ( )
function 2 ( ) {
} ……………
}

The program is the collection of functions. It means it consist multiple functions. A function can be called
form another function. The same function can be called several times from the different location of
program. After execution of the statement of the function, the control always returns backs to the point
from where it is called.
There are two types of functions:
1. Library Functions (built in or ready made): C has the facilities to provide library function for
performing some operation. These functions are present in the c library and they are predefined.
Library function which is already defined in library of C language and directly used in program is
known as library function. It is a readymade or in-built function so that programmer can use this
function instantly when required. C has a large number of library function. It is very useful for
programmer to perform specific task in program and return the value. Some examples of
Library function are printf ( ), scanf ( ), strlen ( ), strrev ( ), srtcat ( ), gets, puts ( ) , getchar( ),
putchar( );
2. User Defined functions (Defined by user according to need): user can creates their own function
for performing this type of a function are called user define function.
Syntax of user defined functions
# include<stdio.h>
# include<conio.h>
function ( );
..............
.............
}
void main( )
{
}
function ( )
{
body of the function
}
Advantage of functions in C:
 It reduces the code because it avoids rewriting same code again and again in a program.
 The functions can be called several of times from any location in a program.
 A large C program is organized in manageable form.
 It enhances the reusability of code.
 It is easy to debug the program.
 The program can be developed in different phase.
 The program can be tested and compiled independently.
 Big programs can be divided into smaller module using functions.
 Program development will be faster.
 Use of functions reduce program complexity.

Function definition, prototype, call and returns statements

The function consists the following components:
a. Function prototype b. Function definition
c. Call function d. Return statement

Website: www.bkbhusal.com.np 33 YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/BkBhusalEduZone

 Computer Science Reference Note for Grade-XII E-mail ID: [email protected]

a. Function prototype:
Function prototype is the actual name of the function. The function name and the parameter list
together constitute the function signature. The function prototype is written at the beginning of
a program. Prototype is only needed if function definition comes after use in program. The
function prototype provides the following information to the compiler.
 The type of data type which is going to return
 The function name
 The types of argument and number of argument
Syntax: return_data type function_name( argument 1, argument 2, argument 3,….)
Where,

data_type the type of data type such as int, float etc

function_name name of the function
argument the list of variable
Example:
int area (int, int)

In this example, area is the function name which consists int type two arguments and return
type is integer.

b. Function Definition:
Before using the function, it must be defined. Function definition consists of the type of data
type which is going to return, functions name and the data type and numbers of arguments. The
argument are separated by the comma (,) and enclosed within the parentheses. The next part of
the function is the body of function which is written within curly brace { }. The body consist the
number of statements for the execution.
Syntax: data_type function_name(argument 1, argument 2, argument 3,……..) Where,
data_type the type of data type such as int, float etc
function_name name of the function
argument the list of variable
Example:
int area (int l, int b)
{ int a; a = l*b return (a)
}
In the above example, area is the name of function, l and b are the argument that are used to
receive the value sent by calling statement and return value after processing.

c. Calling the function:

The functions are defined for calling. It can be called anytime from anywhere in the program. A
call function is written with the function name exactly defined. It is followed by the list of
arguments that are declared during the definition. The numbers of argument are must be same
as function definition and they are used to the pass the value to the function.
Syntax: variable = function_name (argument 1, argument 2, argument 3,……..) Where,
variable the name of variable that store returned value
function_name name of the function
argument the list of variable

Website: www.bkbhusal.com.np 34 YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/BkBhusalEduZone

 Computer Science Reference Note for Grade-XII E-mail ID: [email protected]

Example:
x = area (l, b); sum (a, b);

d. Return statement:
After manipulation data within the function, the final value should be returned. The final value is
returned by using the return statement to the calling module. The return keyword followed
variable or expression that going to return. The return statement returns single value at a time.
Syntax: return expression
Where, expression is the value that is going to return. Example: return a;
Example-1. Write a program to input any two numbers and find sum of the number.
# include<stdio.h>
int sum (int, int); ---------------------------- prototype
void main ( )
{ Output:
int a, b, s; Enter first number 10
printf ("\n Enter first number"); Enter second number 5
scanf ("%d", &a); The sum is 50
printf ("\n Enter second number");
scanf ("%d", &b);
s = sum (a, b); -------------------- calling function In this program, prototype of function is defined

Void statement:
If a function does not return any value to the calling module, then it is called the function’s return type is
void. In this function, the function accepts the values though the arguments and execute the result within
the function after the manipulation with that values.
Example: Write a program to input length and breadth of rectangle and find area.
# include<stdio.h>
void area (int, int);
void main ( ) Output:
{ Enter the length 6
int l, b, s; Enter the breadth 4
printf ("\n Enter the length"); The area is 24
scanf ("%d", & l);//
printf ("\n Enter the breadth");
scanf ("%d", &b);
area (l, b);
} In this program, return type of the function is void, it means the

Accessing the function passing by value

The function can be used in different way. On the basis of passing value to the function and returning value
to the calling module, the different method can be defined as follow:

a. Functions passing arguments and returning value:

In this method, the values are passed to the function through argument form the calling
function. After the manipulation with value, the final value is returned to the calling module
using return statement.

Write a program to input any three numbers and find average of these numbers.
# include<stdio.h>
int average (int, int, int);
void main ( )
{ Output:
int a, b, c, d; Enter first number 4
printf ("\n Enter first number"); Enter second number 5
scanf ("%d", & a); Enter third number 6
printf ("\n Enter second number"); The average is 5
scanf ("%d", & b);
printf ("\n Enter third number");
scanf ("%d", & c);
d = average (a, b, c);
printf ("\n The average is %d", d);
} In this program, the final result is returned to its calling
int average (int a, int b, int c)
module.
{
inta v;
av = (a + b + c)/3;
return (av);
}

Functions passing arguments and not returning value:

In this method, the values are passed to the function through argument form the calling function. After the
manipulation with value, the final value is not returned to the calling module.

Write a program to input any three numbers and find average of these numbers.
# include<stdio.h>
int average (int, int, int); Output:
void main ( ) Enter first number 4
{ Enter second number 5
int a, b, c, d; Enter third number 6
printf ("\n Enter first number"); The average is 5
scanf ("%d", & a);
printf ("\n Enter second number");
scanf ("%d", & b);
printf ("\n Enter third number");
scanf ("%d", &c);
In this program, the final result is not returned to the
average (a, b, c);
} calling function.
int average (int a, int b, int c)
{
intav;
av = (a + b + c)/3;
printf ("\n The average is %d", av);
}

Function passing no arguments and returning value:

In this method, the values are not passed to the function through argument form the calling function. The
inputs statements are used within the function for the value. The final value is returned to the calling
module after the manipulation with that data.

Write a program to input any three numbers and find average of these numbers.
#include<stdio.h>
int average ( ); Output:
void main ( ) Enter first number 4
{ Enter second number 5
int d; Enter third number 6
d =average ( ); The average is 5

scanf ("%d", & a); to the function.
printf ("\n Enter second number");
scanf ("%d", & b);
printf ("\n Enter third number");
scanf ("%d", & c);
av = (a + b + c)/3;
return (av);
}
d. Function passing no arguments and returning no value:
In this method, the values are not passed to the function through argument form the calling function. The
inputs statements are used within the function for the value. The final value is executed within function
after the manipulation with that data.
Write a program to input any three numbers and find average of these numbers.

printf ("\n Enter third number");
scanf ("%d", & c);
av = (a + b + c)/3;

Recursive Function:
The function which performs recursion is called recursive function. Recursion is a process by which a
function calls itself repeatedly until some specified condition has been satisfied.
Those function which calls itself is known as recursive function and the concept of using recursive functions
to repeat the execution of statements as per the requirement is known as recursion. The criteria for
recursive functions are:
1. The function should call itself.
2. There should be terminating condition so that function calling will not be for infinite number of
time.
Program: Write a program to calculate factorials by using recursion process.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int fact(int);
void main( )
{
clrscr();
int n;
printf("Enter a number");
scanf("%d",&n);
printf("The factorial of %d is %d",n,fact(n));
}
int fact(int n)
{
if(n<=1)
return (1)
else
{
return(n*fact(n-1)); or z=(n*fact(n-1));
} return z;
}
Program: Write a program read a number and make the sum of individual digits & print using recursion
technique.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int sum(int)
void main()
{
clrscr();
int n;
printf("Enter the any number");
scanf("%d",&n);

Website: www.bkbhusal.com.np 38 YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/BkBhusalEduZone

 Computer Science Reference Note for Grade-XII E-mail ID: [email protected]

printf("The sum of individual digits is %d",sum);

int sum(int n)
{
int a;
if(n>0)
{
a=n%10;
n=n/10;
ruturn(a+sum(n));
}
}
WAP to calculate sum of n-natural number using recursion/recursive function.
#include<stdio.h>
int sum (int);
void main()
{
int n,s;
printf("Enter any number");
scanf("%d",&n);
s = sum(n);
printf("Sum is %d\n",s);

}
int sum (int n)
{
if (n<=0)
return 0;
else
return (n+sum(n-1));
}

Accessing a Function:
There are two types of accessing a function.
1. Call by value: Only the values of arguments are same to the function and any change made to the
formal arguments do not change the actual arguments.
Program: Write a C program try to exchange two values by using call by value accessing function.
# include<stdio.h>
# include<conio.h>
int swap (int, int)
void main( )
{
int a,b;
a=10
b=20
printf("Value of a=%d and b=%d",a,b);

Website: www.bkbhusal.com.np 39 YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/BkBhusalEduZone

 Computer Science Reference Note for Grade-XII E-mail ID: [email protected]

swap (a,b);
printf("Value of a=%d and b=%d",a,b);
}
int swap(int x, int y)
{
int r;
r=x;
x=y;
y=r;
}

2. Call by reference: When we pass address to a function the parameters receiving the address should
be pointer. The process of calling a function by using pointer to pass the address of the variable is
known as call by reference.
Program: Write a C program to exchange two values by using call by reference accessing function.
# include<stdio.h>
# include<conio.h>
int swap(int *, int *)
void main( )
{
int a,b;
a=10
b=20
printf("Value of a=%d and b=%d",a,b);
swap(&a,&b);
printf("Value of a=%d and b=%d",a,b);
}

int swap(int *x, int *y)

{
int r;
r=*x;
*x=*y;
*y=r;
}

Function with array

As like a variable, array can be used to store multiple value in single variable using a function. It is
very convenient use array in function because list of array name is sufficient to pass an array to the
function without any subscripts and the size of the array as arguments.

Structure and Union

Structure:
Structure is a collection of variables under a single name. As an example, if we want to store data
with multiple data types like roll number, student name, address, phone number and class of a student
then C supports structure which allows us to wrap one or more variables with different data types. Each
variable in structure is called a structure member. To define a structure, we use struct keyword.
Syntax: struct struct_name
{
Structure_members(s);
};
Structure Declaration
struct student
{
int roll;
char name[50];

int age;
char section;
float height;
};
We can also declare a structure
struct student
{
int roll;
char name[50];
int age;
char section;
float height;
} s1,s2;
We can also declare array of variables at a time of declaring a structure as:
struct student
{
int roll;
char name[50];
int age;
char section;
float height;
} s[100];
Union:
Unions like structure contain members whose individual data types may differ from one another.
However the member that composes a union all share the same storage area within the computer memory
were as each member within a structure is assigned its own unique storage area.

{

Pointer
A pointer is a variable that a points to a references a memory location where data is stored. Each memory
cell in the computer has an address which can be used to access its location. A pointer variable points to a
memory location rather than a value.
- We can access and change the contents of the memory location.
- A pointer variable contains the memory location of another variable.
- The asterisk tells the compiler that you are creating a pointer variable.
The pointer declaration syntax is as shown below.
Pointer_type *pointer_variable_name;
For e.g. int *p;
Address (&) and indirection (*) operator
The address (&) operator and immediately preceding variable returns the address of the variable
associated with it. Hence, the address of (&) operator returns the address of memory location in which the
variable is stored.
The indirection (*) operator is used to extract value from the memory location stored in the
particular memory location whose address is stored in pointer variable.
The syntax of declaring address operator to pointer variable is as follows.
Pointer_variable = &variable_name;
For Example
int *ptr, num=25;
ptr = &num;
Program: Write a complete program to display address and value of the pointer variable.
#include<stdio.h>
void main( )
{
int *p;
int age=17;
p=&age;
printf("\n Value of age is %d", age); output= 17
printf("\n Value of age is %d",*p); output=17

int age= 17
p=&age;
printf(" \nValue of age is %d",age); output=17

Advantage of Pointer
- Runtime memory creation.
- Runtime memory deletion.
- Hard Access through pointer.
- Data Structure Based Pointer.
- Applications of Pointer Ms-word, Excel, Access, SQL.

Working with files

Data file much application required that information be written is stored on the memory device in the form
of a data file. Thus, data file access and alter that information whenever information in C.

Sequential and Random Access File

Sequential Access File:
The sequential access files allow reading the data from the file in one after another i.e. in sequence. There
is no predefined order for accessing data file. All the processes are declare and assigned by the compiler
during run time of the program.

Random Access File:

The random access files allow reading data from any location in the file. Sometimes, we need to read data
file from reverse, middle and from specific location. To achieve this, C defines a set of functions to
manipulate the position of the file. The inbuilt function fseek( ), lseek( ), rewind( ) and ftell( ) are the some
of the common examples of random access files.

Opening, Reading, Writing and Appending on/from Data File:

Once the file pointer has been declared, the next step is to open file. There is an inbuilt function to open a
file. The function fopen( ) is used to create a steam for use and links of new open file. This function return a
file pointer and takes two parameter one for name of file and other for mode for the file. The syntax is as
follows;
FILE *f;
f = fopen ("file_name.extension", "mode_of_open");

 Computer Science Reference Note for Grade-XII E-mail ID: [email protected]

The modes of the data file are as follows:

S.N. Mode Description
1 "r" / "rt" It opens a text file to read only mode.
2 "w" / "wt" It creates a text file to write only mode.
3 "a" / "at" It appends text to already data containing file.
4 "r+t" It opens a text file for read and write mode.
5 "w+t" It creates a text file for read and write mode.
6 "a+t" It opens or creates a text file and read mode.
7 "rb" It opens a binary file for read only mode.
8 "wb" It creates a binary file for write only mode.
9 "ab" It opens or create a binary file for append mode.
10 "r+b" It opens a binary file for read and write mode.
11 "w+b" It creates a binary file for read and write mode.
12 "a+b" It opens or creates a binary file for append mode.

Functions
1. fputc= Store character into the file.
2. fputs= Store string in to the file.
3. fgetc= fetch character from the file.
4. fgets= fetch string from the file.
5. fwrite= store data (structure) in to the file.
6. fread= fetch data (structure) from the file.
7. fprintf= store data in to file.
8. fscanf= fetch variable from the file.

Opening a data file

Syntax:
FILE *fptr
fptr = fopen (“filename” , ”mode”)
Where, File name can be “library.txt”, “student.dat” ..etc
Mode:
“w” to write/store data in a data file.
“r” to display/read/retrieve/access data from a datafile.
“a” to add/append data in existing datafile.

Store/write data
Syntax:
fprintf(fptr , ”format specifiers” ,variables);
Eg; suppose if we want to store name, disease, age and bed number of a patient then, it is written
as
fprintf(fptr , ”%s %s %d %d”, n, d, a, b);
Where, variable are initialized as:
char n[10], d[10];
int a, b;
