Solved Paper: Computational Thinking using C

Q1. Attempt all questions

(a) Define the term Testing. Explain its types.

Testing is the process of evaluating a system or its components with the intent to find

whether it satisfies the specified requirements or not. It helps identify errors, gaps,

or missing requirements.

Types of Testing:

1. Unit Testing

2. Integration Testing

3. System Testing

4. Acceptance Testing

(b) What is a variable? Define its initialization and declaration with the help of an example.

A variable is a storage location in programming with a specific data type that holds data.

Example in C:

int a; // Declaration

a = 10; // Initialization

int b = 20; // Declaration and Initialization

(c) Write a C program to find the factorial of a number that is input by the user.

C Program:

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {

int n, i;

unsigned long long factorial = 1;

printf("Enter an integer: ");

scanf("%d", &n);

if (n < 0)

printf("Error! Factorial of a negative number doesn't exist.");

else {

for (i = 1; i <= n; ++i) {

factorial *= i;

printf("Factorial of %d = %llu", n, factorial);

return 0;

(d) What is an algorithm and flowchart? Explain symbols used in a flowchart.

An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure to solve a problem. Flowchart is a graphical

representation.

Common symbols:

1. Oval: Start/End

2. Rectangle: Process

3. Parallelogram: Input/Output

4. Diamond: Decision
5. Arrow: Flow of control.

Q2. Attempt any three questions

(a) Define the term array and its types with example.

An array is a collection of elements stored in contiguous memory locations.

(b) A supermarket offers a discount of 10% if purchase exceeds 1000.

C Program:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

float amount, finalAmount;

printf("Enter the total amount: ");

scanf("%f", &amount);

if (amount > 1000) {

finalAmount = amount - (amount * 0.10);

} else {

finalAmount = amount;

printf("The final amount is: %.2f

", finalAmount);

return 0;

(c) Difference between while and do-while loop.


While: Condition is checked before execution.

Do-while: Executes first then checks condition.

(d) What is a pointer? Define the use of * and & operators with an example.

A pointer stores the address of another variable.

Example:

int a = 10;

int *p = &a; // Pointer stores the address of a

printf("Value: %d", *p); // Dereferencing.

Q3. Attempt any two questions

(a) Analyse the role of Debugging in programming.

Debugging is the process of identifying and removing errors in a program.

(b) Write a C program to insert elements into two matrices and store their sum.

C Program:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

int mat1[2][2], mat2[2][2], sum[2][2];

printf("Enter elements for the first matrix:

");

for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {

for (int j = 0; j < 2; j++) {

scanf("%d", &mat1[i][j]);

}
}

printf("Enter elements for the second matrix:

");

for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {

for (int j = 0; j < 2; j++) {

scanf("%d", &mat2[i][j]);

for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {

for (int j = 0; j < 2; j++) {

sum[i][j] = mat1[i][j] + mat2[i][j];

printf("Sum of matrices:

");

for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {

for (int j = 0; j < 2; j++) {

printf("%d ", sum[i][j]);

printf("

");

return 0;
}

(c) Define the term function in C programming.

A function is a block of code designed to perform a specific task.

Example: void greet() { printf("Hello"); }
