Course Learning Outcomes: After studying this course students will be able:

1. Formulate algorithm/flowchart for given arithmetic and logical problem

2. Translate algorithm/flowchart into C program using correct syntax and execute it
3. Write programs using conditional, branching, iteration, and recursion
4. Decompose a problem into function
5. Develop an application using the concepts of array, pointer, structure, and file
management to solve engineering and/or scientific problems

Lab/ Practical details, if applicable:

Objective: The laboratory exercises in this section have been so designed that the students learn to
verify some of the concepts learnt in the theory courses. They are trained in carrying out hands on
experience in programming
1) Write a program to that performs as calculator (addition, multiplication, division,
subtraction).
2) Write a program to find area of triangle(a=h*b*.5) a = area h = height b = base
3) Write a program to calculate simple interest (i = (p*r*n)/100 ) i = Simple interest p
= Principal amount r = Rate of interest n = Number of years
4) Write a C program to interchange two numbers.
5) Write a C program to enter a distance in to kilometre and convert it in to meter, feet,
inches and centimetre
6) Write a program to compute Fahrenheit from centigrade (f=1.8*c +32)
7) Write a C program to find out distance travelled by the equation d = ut + at^2
8) Write a C program to find that the accepted number is Negative, or Positive or Zero.
9) Write a program to read marks of a student from keyboard whether the student is
pass or fail (using if else)
10) Write a program to read three numbers from keyboard and find out maximum out
of these three. (nested if else)
11) Write a C program to check whether the entered character is capital, small letter,
digit or any special character.
12) Write a C program to read no 1 to 7 and print relatively day Sunday to Saturday.
13) Write a C program to find out the Maximum and Minimum number from given 10
numbers
14) Write a C program to input an integer number and check the last digit of number is
even or odd.
15) Write a C program to find factorial of a given number.
16) Write a program to reverse a number.
17) Write a program to generate first n number of Fibonacci series
18) Write a program to find out sum of first and last digit of a given number.
19) Write a C program to find the sum and average of different numbers which are
accepted by user as many as user wants
20) Write a program to calculate average and total of 5 students for 3 subjects (use
nested for loops)
21) Read five persons height and weight and count the number of person having height
greater than 170 and weight less than 50, 24. Write a program to check whether the
given number is prime or not.
22) Write a program to evaluate the series 1^2+2^2+3^2+……+n^2
23) Write a C program to find 1+1/2+1/3+1/4+....+1/n.
24) Write a C program to find 1+1/2!+1/3!+1/4!+.....+1/n!.
25) Write a program to evaluate the series sum=1-x+x^2/2!-x^3/3!+x^4/4!......-x^9/9!
