C Programming Questions and Answers

Question 1:

What are the different types of programming languages? Explain with examples.

Answer:

Programming languages are broadly classified into:

1. Machine Language:

- Computers native binary code (0s and 1s).

- Hardware specific and not portable.

Example: 10110000 01100001 (Binary for Intel processor).

2. High-Level Language:

- Human-readable and portable.

- Requires a compiler or interpreter for execution.

Example: C, Java, Python.

Question 2:

What is the C programming language, and what are its key features?

Answer:

C is a general-purpose, structured programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie in the

1970s.

Key Features:

- General-purpose, used for system and application programming.

- Structured language with modular programming.


- Rich library support with built-in functions.

- Efficient memory management and execution speed.

Example:

#include <stdio.h>

void main() { printf("Hello, World!\n"); }

Question 3:

Explain the structure of a C program with an example.

Answer:

A C program consists of:

1. Preprocessor Directives: Include necessary headers.

2. Main Function: Execution starts here.

3. Variable Declarations: Declare variables before use.

4. Statements & Expressions: Define logic and computations.

5. Functions: Modular code sections for reuse.

Example:

#include <stdio.h>

void main() {

int a = 45, b = 17;

int sum = a + b;

printf("Addition: %d\n", sum);

Question 4:
What are identifiers and keywords in C? Explain with examples.

Answer:

Identifiers are names for variables, functions, etc.

- Must start with a letter and can contain digits and underscores.

- Example: int studentAge;

Keywords are reserved words in C.

- Cannot be used as identifiers.

- Example: int, float, return, if, while.

Example:

int main() { int num = 10; return 0; }

Question 5:

What are the different data types in C? Explain with examples.

Answer:

C supports various data types:

1. Basic Data Types:

- int: Stores whole numbers (e.g., 5, 100, -25).

- float: Stores decimal values (e.g., 3.14, -5.6).

- char: Stores single characters (e.g., 'A', 'z').

- double: Stores large floating-point numbers.

2. Derived Data Types:

- Arrays, Pointers, Structures.


Example:

#include <stdio.h>

void main() {

int age = 20;

float height = 5.9;

char grade = 'A';

printf("Age: %d, Height: %.1f, Grade: %c\n", age, height, grade);
