Napier Bone are used.

PH:22820846
General purpose electronic computers using valves were developed in 1940. In 1823
Charles Babbage an English mathematician designed for automatic computing machine for
automatic computing of mathematical tables. That machine is called as Differential Engine.
First Computer developed is known as ENIAC ( Electronic Numeric Integrator and
Calculator).
 Generation of Computer :-
The rapid growth and availability of improved electronic component have resulted in
making computer smaller and enhanced their reliability and reduced their cost . High speed,
large memory are special features in evolution of computer.
1) 1st Generation :-
The 1st electronic computer was completed in 1946 by a team lead by Prof.Eckert
and Prof.Mauchly at university of Pennsylvania in U.S.A. This computer is called as
ENIC ( Electronic Numeric Integrator and Calculator.) It uses high speed vacuum tubes.
It has small memory. It took about 200 microsecond to add two digits and 2800
microsecond to multiply. A idea to store machine instruction in memory of computer
along with data was introduced by John Von Neumann in 1946.
The first computer using this principle was introduced a Cambridge

university called as EDSAC ( Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator.). In 1951
UNIVAC I built by Univac Division of Remington Rand and delivered in 1951. It also
uses vacuum tubes . They has limited life.
During 1st generation computer programming was mainly done in machine language.
2) 2nd Generation :- ( 1955-1965)

A big revolution in electronic took place with invention of transistor
in 1946. Transistors are made up of germanium semiconductor material were highly
reliable compared to tube. They occupy less space so size of computer become less and
speed of computer gets increased. In this generation magnetic cores are invented for
storage. Memory capacity in second generation is about 100 KB. Magnetic disk are also
invented. The highly reliability of computer led to development of high level language .
Fortran, Cobol, Algol, SNOBOL were developed during this generation. New profession
in computing such as System Analysis and Programmers emerged during second
generation.
2) 3rd Generation :- (1965-1975)

PH:22820846
It began in 1965 with germanium transistors being replaced silicon transistor i.e. IC
( Integrated Circuits) consisting of transistors and capacitors growing on single chip of
silicon eliminating wired interconnection. From small scale integrated circuits technology
developed to medium scale integrated circuit. This increases speed of CPU which carry
out 1 million instruction per second. The size of main memory reached to 4 MB. Magnetic
disk technology improved rapidly and storage capacity become feasible. Many important
online system storage capacity become feasible. Many important online system become
feasible. High level languages become improved e.g. Fortran IV, COBOL 68, PL/1.

INTRODUCTION
 Language:-
The language is the way of communication between two persons.
• C-Language:-
It gives the bas for communication between user and computer
or the user and programmer.
There are three types of Languages of follows.
1) High Level Language:-

It is the language which gives better programming
efficiency i.e. faster program development. The code is written in
English, Hernce it will convert the code from English to binary language
and then it will process the code. Hence the output will be in Binary
form, and then this output will be again converted into English. In this
way it has to covert the code from English to Binary and again from
Binary to English.
• Advantage: - It is very easy to learn and easy to implement.
• Disadvantage: - The execution speed of High level

Language is slow due to the conversion factor from English to
Binary and again Binary to English.
e.g.:- BASIC, COBOL, PASCLE, FORTRAN etc.
2) Low Level Language:-

It is the language which gives better machine efficiency i.e.
faster program execution. The code is written in Binary i.e. in the form
of 0 and 1. Hence it is directly understood by computer. Therefore the
execution speed is very fast in low level language.
• Advantage: - The execution speed is fast.

PH:22820846
• Disadvantage: - It is very difficult to learn and to implement.
e.g.:- 1) Machine language 2) Assembly language.
3) Middle Level Language:-

It is the language which gives better programming efficiency i.e.
faster program development and also it gives better machine efficiency
i.e. faster program execution. In this way it shows the qualities of High
Level and Low Level and hence it is known as Middle Level Language.
• Advantage:-
1) It is very easy to learn and easy to implement.
2) The execution speed is fast.
e.g.:- C Language.

PH:22820846
 History of 'C':-
By 1960 a crowd of computer has come into existence, almost
each for a specific purpose e.g. COBOL has being used for commercial
application, FORTAN for engineering application. At this stage, people
started thinking the instead of suing different language which can
program all possible application. Therefore an international committee
was set to develop such a language Table. Shorts the various stages in
evolution of language.
Year Language Developed by Remarks

1960 ALGOL International Too general and
committee abstract
1963 CPL Cambridge Hard to learn
University and implement
1967 BCPL M.Richards For specific
problem only
1970 B Ken Thompson For specific
problem only
1972 C Dennis Ritchie Lost generality of BCPL
and B, restored.
 Introduction to 'C':-
C is programming language developed at AT & T's Bell
Laboratories of USA in 1972. It was designed and written by Dennis
Ritchie. C is often called a middle level language.
 Importance of C:-
The increasing popularity of C is probable due to its many
desirable qualities. It is a robust language whose rich set of built in
functions & operations can be used to write any complex program. The
C compiler combines the capabilities of an assembly language with the
features of a high level language & therefore it is well suited for writing
both system software & business package and so it is called as a middle
level language. Programs written in C are efficient & fast . C is highly
portable. Another important feature of C is its ability to extend itself. A
C program is basically collection of functions that are supported by the
C library. We can continuously add out functions to C.

PH:22820846
 Features of 'C' language:-

• It is highly portable. This means that C programs written
for one computer can be run on another with little or no
modification.
• 'C' is a well suited for structured programming.
• 'C' program is basically a collection of function supported
by the 'C' library.
• Variety of data types and powerful operators.
• There are 32 keywords and its strength lies in its built in
function.
• C is well suited for structured programming. This
modular structure makes program testing & debugging
very easy.
 Constants, Variable and

Keywords:-
The alphabets, numbers and special when properly combined
from constants, variables and keywords.
• A constant is a quantity that does not change. This quantity can

be considered, stored at locations in the memory of the
computer.
• A variable can be considered as a name given to the location in
memory where this constant is stored.
• A keyword is a special word, which has some meaning in C.
 Types of Constants:-
C Constants can be divided into two major categories.
1) Primary Constants.
2) Secondary Constants.

PH:22820846
Constants
Primary Constant
Secondary Constant
Array, Pointer
Structure, Uninon,
Integer Real Character enum, etc.
Constant constant constant
 Rules for constructing Integer constants:-

1) An integer constant must have at least one digit.
2) It must not have a decimal point.
3) It could either positive or negative.
4) It no sign precedes an integer constant it is assumed to be positive.
5) No commas or blanks are allowed within an integer constant.
6) The allowable range for Integer constants is- 32768 to + 032767.
 Rules for constructing Real constants or Floating Point

constants:-
Real constants are often called Floating point constants. The real
constants could be written in two forms. Fractional form and
Exponential form.
1) A real constant must have at least one digit.

2) It must have a decimal point.
3) It could be either positive or negative.
4) Default sign is positive.
5) No commas or blanks are allowed within a real constant.

PH:22820846
 Rules for constructing Character constants:-
1) A character constant is a single alphabet, a single digit or a single

special symbol enclosed within single inverted commas.
2) Maximize length of a character constant is 1 character.
• Define Symbolic Constants (Macro):-

We often use certain unique constants in program. These
constants may appear repeatedly in a number of places in a program .Ex.
PI (3.14) . For that we define this constant. A constant is defined as
follows
# defines symbolic name value of constant / expression.
Example: - # define PI 3.14

# define MARKS 50
They are also called as macro. Here PI and MARKS are macros.
 Types of C variables:-
In 'C' a quantity which may vary during program execution is

called a variable. Variables are names given to the location in the
memory of computer where different constants are stored. The location
can contain Integer, real or character constants.
 Rules for constructing variable Names:-

1) A variable name should be a combination of alphabets, digit or
underscores. Some compilers allow variable names whose length could
be up to 40 characters. Still it would be safer to stick to the rule of 8
characters.
2) The first character in the variable name must be an alphabet.
3) No commas or blanks are allowed within a variable name.
4) No special symbol other than underscore (as in gross _Sal) can be
used in a variable name.
Example: - Si_int
M_hra
Por_e_sg.
5) Variables defined in upper and lower case are considered as different.
6) C Keywords can not be used as a variable name.

PH:22820846
Following are the examples of variable declaration statements.

Int si, m_hra;
Float b, c;
Char code; where Int, float and char are the data types.
 C Keywords:-
Keywords are the words whose coning has already beer

explained to the C complier (or in a broad sense to the computer). The
keyword cannot be used as variable names because if we do so we are
trying to assign a new meaning to the keyword, which is not allowed by
the computer. The keywords are also as "Reserved Words". There are 32
keywords available in 'C'.
auto double if static

break else int struct
case enum long switch
char extern near typedef
const float register union
continue far return unsigned
default for short void
do go to signed while
 C Instructions:-
There are basically four types of Instructions in 'C'.
1) Type Declarations Instructions.

2) Input / Output Instructions.
3) Arithmetic Instructions.
4) Control instructions.
 Type Declaration Instructions:-

To declare the type of variable used in a 'C' program.

PH:22820846
 Input / Output Instructions:-

To perform the function of supplying data to a program and
obtaining the result from it.
 Arithmetic Instructions:-
To perform arithmetic operations between constants and
variables.
• Control Instructions:-
To control the sequence of execution of various statements in a

'C' program.
 Structure of 'C' programming:-

A 'C' program should be written in a specific sequence which
includes following steps.
• Linking.
• Constant declaration.
• Global variable declaration.
• Main ( ) function.
• Local variable declaration.
• Input statement.
• Calculation or processing.
• Output statement.
• User defined functions.
 Linking:-
C uses various built in functions to perform the operations. They
are also known as standard library function which are defined in
different header files. To use a particular function, the respective header
file should be included in the program. When the program is executed,
the file gets linked to the program.
 Header files: - [Extension. H]

PH:22820846
1) Stdio.h:-
In stdio.h header file, all the standard input/output functions are
defined Example: - printf ( ), scanf ( )
2) Conio .h:-
Consol input output Functions. Example: - clrscr ( ), getch ( )
3) Math.h:-
Mathematical functions. Example: - sqrt ( ), abs ( )
4) String.h:-
String functions. Example: - strcpy ( ), strlen ( )
To include the header file in the program # include statement is used as:-
Syntax: - # include <header filename>
Example: - # include <stdio.h>

# include <math.h>
 Constant Declaration:-
If require constant can be declared in the program above the
main ( ) function. It is defined using # define statement. E.g. PI (3.14)
can be declared as a constant to calculate the area of circle as its value
does not change. They are also called as preprocessor directives.
 Global Variable Declaration:-

Sometimes it is required to use some variables anywhere in the
program i.e. by any function in the program. For this the variable must
be made accessible to all the functions by declaring it as global i.e.
outside all the functions. Global variables are declared same as the local
variables. their scope is global.
 Main ( ) function:-
After linking and declaration statements you can start your
program with main ( ) function.

PH:22820846
 Local Variable Declaration:-

Local variables are the one that are declared inside a function.
They are accessible to the function in which they are defined.
 Input Statement:-
After local variable declaration, input statement can be given to
input or accept the data from user, for this C provides standard input
function: scanf ( ).
 Calculation / Processing Statements:-
It includes the general data processing statements like

mathematical calculations or string manipulation statements, data
conversion statements etc.
 Output Statements:-
Finally result will be displayed on screen using the output
statement (function): printf ( ).
 User Defined Functions:-

Unlike the built functions, we can define our own functions in
the program whenever required. They are called as user defined
functions. They must be defined outside any function and can be called
anywhere in the program.
All the above steps are not compulsory in every program. They
can be included as per the program requirement.
Every program must contain a main ( ) function.
 Data types:-
While declaring the variable we must have to specify the data
type of the variable. The data type determines the type of value the
variable is going to hold like numeric, character etc. One of the features
of C is that C has variety of data types. There are two types of data
types:

PH:22820846
a) Built in data types.

c) User defines data types / Derived data types.
The standard built in data types User Defined Data types

* Integer/Int (Numeric) * Arrays
* Float(Real) *Structures
* Char (Character) *Unions
Built in data types are given divided into following subtypes;
Integer Character Float

Integer Single Character Float
Short integer String (Sequence of Char.) Double
Long integer -- --
These data types varies according to their storage size and the range of
value
they can hold . The range and bit size of each data types is given below;
Data types bit size Rang for Signed Unsigned

Character 8bit -128 to +127 0 to 255
Short-int 8bit -128 to +127 0 to 255
Int 16bit -32768 to +32767 0to 65535
Long Int 32bit -214748367to+214748367 0to429496729
Float 32bit -38 to 34+E38 ---
Double 64bit 1.7 +E 308 ---
PROGRAMMING IN C
Instruction In a Program is written as a separate statement

Therefore a complete C program will emprise of a series of statements ,
These statements must appear in the same order in which we wish them
be executed
However big programs, following rules are applicable to all statements;

PH:22820846
1. Blank spaces may be inserted between two words to improve the

readability of the statements. However, no blank spaces are allowed
within a variable, constant or keyword
2. Usually all statements are entered in small case letters.
3. Chas no specific rules for position at which statements are to be
written. That is why it is often called a free-form language.
4. Every individual statement is program always ends with a semicolon
('; ')
Any program has three parts:
1. Algorithm
2. Flowchart
3. Program
 Algorithm:-
Thinking in our own language and writing it in simple English
language is called as algorithm. There are no special symbols and
commands used in it.
 Flowchart: - The graphical representation of the program

is known as flowchart. It can be represented using various
flowchart symbol
Oval:-To Start or End the program.
Rectangle: - For Variable Declaration and

Processing
Statement
Parallelogram: - For Input and Output

operations
Diamond:-To give decision making (conditional)

Statements.
Flow Lines:-To specify the flow of the program.
Connector:-To continue the flowchart on next page.

PH:22820846
Using these symbols we can draw a flowchart for the program.

Algorithm and Flowchart simplifies the program logic. First write the
algorithm and flowchart and from it write a program.
 The first 'C' program:-
Example: - Addition of two numbers.
• Algorithm:-
1) Include the required header files in the program.
2) Declare the variables to store two numbers and the addition of the
numbers.
3) Accept two numbers.
4) Perform the addition.
5) Display the result.
• Flowchart:- Start
int a, b,c
Accept two numbers a & b
c = a+b
Display the addition
End

PH:22820846
• Program:-
/* Addition of two numbers */
# include<stdio.h>
main ( )
{
int a,b,c;
clrscr ( ); /* To clear the
screen */
printf ("Enter two numbers");
Scanf ("%d%d", & a , & b ); /* accept 2
numbers */
c = a+b; /* performs addition of
a and b */
printf ("\n Addition = %d", c); /* Displays
the result */
}
Comment about the program should be enclosed within /* */ . Any C

program is nothing but a combination of functions. Main ( ) is one such
function. Empty parentheses after main is necessary. The set of
statements belonging to a function are enclosed with in a pair of braces
i.e.
main ( )
{ Statement 1;
Statement 2;
}
The above program performs the addition of any provided two

numbers. The first step of the program is linking i.e. including the
header file. The program does not require any constant declaration or
any global variable declaration so these steps are skipped. The program
starts with main ( ) function followed by a '{'. The main requirement in
above program is providing two numbers for addition. To store these
numbers a variable is required int a,b,c statement declares three integer
variables. a, b and c. a,b will hold the two numbers and will hold their
addition. Any variable used in the program must be declared before
using.
Next step is accepting two numbers: - printf ( )

function will print the message as "enter two numbers:" and scanf ( )
function will accept the data from user into a and b . '%d' is a conversion
operator used for integer data type. In scanf ( )function '&' operator is
used to get the address ( location number ) of the variable. The numbers
will be stored into the memory at a and b locations.
PH:22820846
Next step is the calculation:- addition will be

performed and it will be stored into third variable c. Finally it will print
the result on screen using
printf ( ) function.
Clrscr ( ) function is used to clear the screen before executing the

program. The program is ending with '}'. Save this program with valid
filename and extension as c by pressing F2 key or select File - Save
option.
To run a c program following key combination is used :
• Compile :- Alt+F9
• Execute :- Ctrl+F9
• Output :- Alt+F5
Every time to display output we have to press Alt+F5 key. To avoid this
getch () function can be included at the end of the program.
With every c program i.e. c file two more files gets created:
1) .obj file gets created at the time of compilation.

2) .exe file gets created at execution time. The program can be executed
from DOS prompt.
 Predefined Functions (Stdio.h):-
• Main ( ):-
This function is used as a starting point of the program. It tells
the compiler that the programs is started from the point or statement. It
is void function i.e. it does not have any parameter and it does not
return any value. All the executable statements must be given in the
main ( ) function because execution starts with main ( ).
• Printf ( ) :-
Printf ( ) is one of the most versatile function in C. In fact it is
a standard library function used to display the output on the screen.
We can format the output using various formatting options like
'\n','\t', %3d etc.
Syntax:-
Printf (" Format string ", list of variable);

PH:22820846
Example: - To display any message on screen:

printf ("Welcome to MCED") ;
OR
To print the value of a variable ;

int a=10 ;
printf ("\n%d",a);
"%d" is a format specifies used to print the value of the variable on
screen .For each data type a format specifies is provided
%f : For printing real (float) values.

%d : For printing integer values.
%c : For printing single character
%Id : For Long integer.
%u : For unsigned integer.
%If : For Double values
Examples:-
Printf (" % 2f", si);

Printf (" % 3d % 3d ", p, n);
Printf ("Simple interest = %f", sp);
Printf (" Principle amount = %d \n Rate = %f ", p, r);
"\n":- It is called new line and it takes the cursor to the next line
• Scanf ( ) :-
Scanf ( ) is used to accept data through keyboard (from user)
Syntax: -
Scan (" format specifier ", & variable name);
Operator'&' is used before the variable to get the address of the
variable. It takes the location number where variable is defined '&'
is not required when we are using '%s' operator for string values.
Example:-
Scan ( "%d %d", &p,&n, name ): We can accept multiple values
with a single scanf ( ) statement.
Examples 1:- Calculation of simple interest

PH:22820846
# include < stdio.h >

Main ( )
{
Int p, n;
Float r. si:
Printf (" Enter value of p, p, r ");
Scant (" %d%d%f', &p, &n. &r);
Si= p*n* r/100;
Printf (" simple interest is = %. 2f", si);
}
Example 2:- Program to accept student's information and

display student
Mark list.
# include<stdio.h>
main ( )
{
int rno, sub1, sub2 , total;
float per;
printf ("\n Enter rollno:");
scanf("%d",& rno);
total = sub1+ sub2
per = total / 2;
printf ( "\n\t\t STUDENTS MARKLIST");
printf ( "\n\t\t -------------------------------");
printf ( "\n\n\n\t Roll No. = %d", rno);
printf ("\n\t -----------------------------");
printf ( "n\t\t English \t\t Math");
printf ("\n\t\t %d \t\t %d", sub1 , sub2);
printf ("\n\t -----------------------------------");
printf ("\n\t Total = %d", total);
printf ("\n\t Percentage = %2f", per);
getch ( );
}

PH:22820846
Output is :-
STUDENTS MARKLIST
Roll No. = 1
English Math
70 70
Total = 140
Percentage = 70.00
The program contains formatting character like '\n' , '\t' etc. they are
known as escape sequences. Escape sequences always begins with '\'
followed by a character. Following are the escape sequences :
Escape Sequence Character Format

'\n' New Line character.
'\t' Horizontal Tab.
'\b' Back Space.
'\' Quotation mark.
'\\' Backslash character.
'\O' Null Character.

PH:22820846
DECISION MAKING
 The Decision Control Structure :-

Sometimes it is required that some statements in the program
should be executed depending on some condition. This is known as
conditional programming. The decision control structure allows us to do
this. It can be used to provide the condition in the program. The
condition can be given using operators.
 Operator in C :-
Operators are use to perform various operations like addition,
comparison etc. C supports following operators.
• Mathematical Operators :-
'+','-','*','\','%' ( modulus operator) etc.
• Relational Operator :-
>,< , >=, <=, = = , = , != etc.
The expression is true if

x==y x is equal to y
x!=y x is not equal to y
x<y x is less than y
x>y x is greater than y
x <= y x is less than or equal to y
x >= y x is greater than or equal to y
• Note :-
• = is used for assignment operator.
• = = is used for comparison of two quantities.
• Logical Operators :-
&& (and) , | | (or) , ! (not)

PH:22820846
 Hierarchy of Operators :-
The operators are evaluated in order of their priority. The hierarchy
(priority) of commonly used operators is shown in fig
Highest ( ), | | , ->
!, ~, ++, --, -, *, &
*, / , 5
< , <=, >, >=
==,!=
&&,||
?:
Lowest = , + = , -= , *= , /=
 Chas two major decision making structures :-
• If statement.
• Switch statement.
 The If statement :-
C uses keyword 'if' to implement the decision control instruction.

The general form of 'if' statement likes :
Syntax :-
If (condition)
{
execute statements;
}
Example :- demonstration of if statement

# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{
int num;
printf ( "\n Enter a number less than 10");
scanf ( "%d", & num );
if (num <= 10)
printf ( "\n What an obedient servant you are:");
}

PH:22820846
On execution of this program. If you type a number less than or

equal to 10, you get a message on the screen through print ( ) as "What
an obedient servant you are :". If you type some other number no output
will printed. Here the if statement will not have a ';' as the scope of the
statement continues further.
The if statement has three forms :
• Simple If
• Multiple If
• Nested If
• The Simple if (If - else statement ) :-

Simple if statement can be used when there is only one condition.
Syntax :-
If (condition)
{
group of statement 1;
}
else
{
}
If the condition given with if statement is true then statement 1

will be executed otherwise else part will executed. Else part is optional.
If there are multiple statements given in if block then if block then
enclose it in { }.
Example :- In a company an employee is paid as under :

If his basic salary is less than Rs.1500/- then HRA-10% of basic salary
and DA =90% of basic salary. If his salary is either equal to or above
Rs.1500/- then HRA = 500 and DA=98% .
write a program to calculate HRA , DA and Gross Salary.

PH:22820846
# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{
int basic;
float gross, hra, da;
printf ("Enter the basic salary");
scanf ("%d", & basic);
if (basic <1500)
{
hra = (float) basic*10/100; // Typecasting basic to float
da = (folat) basic*90/100;
}
else
{
hra = 500
da = basic*98/100;
}
gross = basic + hra + da ;
printf ('\n HRA = %2f\t\t DA = %2f ", hra,da);
printf ("\n\n\t Gross Salary = %2f ", gross );
}
Example :- Program to find greater number between

two
numbers entered.
# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{
int a,b;
clrscr ( );
printf ("\n Enter two numbers :");
scanf ("%d %d ", & a , & b);
if (a>b)
printf ("\n A is greater ");
else
printf ("\n B is greater ");
getch ( );
}

PH:22820846
 Nested If :-
Nested if is perfectly all right if we write an entire 'if-else' construct
within another if block or else block. This is called Nesting' of ifs.
if (condition 1) /* Outer if */
{
Group of statements 1;
if (condition 2) /* Inner If */
Group of statements 2 ;
else
{
Group of statements 3;
}
}
else
{
Group of statement 4;
}
In this case the second if statement is known as inner if and main if
statement is known as outer if. The if condition will be checked only
when the outer if condition is satisfying.
Example :- To find greater number between three numbers
entered.
# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{
int a, b,c;
printf ("Enter three numbers");
scanf ("%d %d %d", & a , & b , & c );
if (a>b)
if (a>c)
printf ("\n A is greater ");
else
printf ("\n C is greater ");
else
if (b>c)
printf ("\n B is greater ");
else
printf ("\n C is greater ");
getch ( );
}
 Multiple if (if - else if) :-

PH:22820846
Multiple if statement can be sued when we want to perform multiple

operation depending on different conditional .
Syntax :-
if (condition)
statement 1;
else if (condition 2)
statement 2;
else if (condition 3)
statement 3;
:
:
else if (condition N)
statement N;
else
statement X;
Like this we can give N number of conditions and we can execute

different statements. Conditions will be checked one by one. If
conditional 1 is satisfying statement 1 will be executed and control
will be transferred to the end of if statement., if it is false then only
condition 2 will be checked. Among all the given condition any one
will be satisfied at a time. If all of the given conditions are false then
final else bock will be executed.
Example :- Program to display the grade of the student based on

following
Criteria:
Per Grade
Between 50-59 'C'
Between 60-75 'B'
Above 75 'A'
Below 50 ' Fail'

PH:22820846
# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{
int rno;
float per;
printf ("Enter rno and percentage for a student");
scanf ("%d %f ", &rno, &per);
if (per>=50 && per<60)
printf ("\n Grade = C");
else if (per>= 60 && per<75)
printf ("\n Grade = B");
else if ( per>=75)
printf ("\n Grade = A");
else
printf ("\n student is Fail");
getch ( );
}
In above example it will accept the percentage and grade will be

displayed by checking the condition.
e.g. per =65 then grade = 'B', if per = 45 then 'student is Fail' message
will be displayed.
 Conditional operator :-
Another conditional construct used as an alternative for simple if

statement is conditional operator. The conditional operator ? and : are
sometimes called ternary operators since it takes three arguments.
Syntax :-
expression 1 ? expression 2 : expression 3
if expression 1 is true, then the value returned will be expression 2
otherwise the value returned will be expression.
Example :-
# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{

PH:22820846
int x, y ;
printf ("\n Enter number:");
scanf ("%d", &x);
y = (x > 5 ? 3:4);
printf ("%d", y );
}
This statement will store 3 in y if x is greater than 5 otherwise it will

store 4 in y.
Example :-
# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{
char a;
int y ;
printf ("\n Enter any character:");
scanf ("%c", &a);
y = (a>=65 && a<=90 ? 1:0);
printf ("%d",y);
}
Here if character a is between 65 to 90 i.e. A-Z then if will return 1

otherwise it will return 0.

PH:22820846
ITERATION CONSTRUCT
 The loop control structure :-

The computer's ability is to perform a set of instruction repeatedly. This
involves repeating some portion of the program either a specified
number of times or until a particular condition is being satisfied.
This respective operation is done using loop control structure.
There are three methods by way of which we can repeat a part of a
program.
They are :
• using While loop

• using For loop
• using Do-While loop
 The While loop :-

The operation of While loop is given below
START
initialise
Test
condition
True STOP
Body of loop
Increment
While Loop

PH:22820846
Syntax :-
Initialize loop counter

while (condition)
{
group of statements;
Increment loop counter;
}
Note the following points about while.
• The statement within the while loops would keen on getting

executed till the condition being remains true. We the condition
become false, the control passes to the first statement follows the
body of the while loop.
• The condition being tested may use relational or logical
operators.
• The statements within the loop may be a single line or a block of
statements. Statements should enclose within pair of braces
( { } ).
• Operators :-
i = i+1
i++ : It is a increment operation which increments the value of i by one.
i + = 1 : is a compound assignment operator. It is increment the value by
1.
The above three statements are same, they will give the same result i.e. i
will be incremented by 1 use any of them.
Example :- Program to display first 10 numbers (1 to 10) in

ascending order.
# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{
int i=1; / / initialization.
while (i<=10) / / condition
{
printf ( "\n %d ", i);
i++; / /
increment.
}
getch ( );
}

PH:22820846
The above program will print. 1 to 10 numbers. Variable i is initialized

to 1.,condition will be checked , true and value of i will be printed as 1. I
will be incremented by 1 and again control will be transfer condition.
Same procedure will be performed till the condition is satisfying. Once
condition is false loop be terminated.
• The For loop :-

The operation of For loop is given in Fig.1. The For Loop allows
us to specify three things in a single line . Initializing a loop counter.
Testing the loop counter to determine whether its value has reached the
number of repetition desired. Increasing the value of loop counter each
time the program segment within the loop has been executed.
Syntax :-
for (initialization :condition: increment/decrement)
{
Group of statements;
}
Initialization part will be executed only once i.e. at the starting of loop.
Then condition will check. If it is true then statements will be executed
and then increment/decrement part will be executed. Again condition
will be checked and same procedure will performed. All the three parts
must be separated by a ';'.For loop can be used when there is fixed
number of iterations.

PH:22820846

For Loop
 The Do.... While loop :-

Do..... while loop is same as while loop.
Syntax :-
do
{
loop counter variable;
} while (condition)

PH:22820846
The difference is that in while loop condition will be checked first and
then statements will be executed. But in do...while loop statements will
be executed first and condition will be checked at the end of loop as it is
condition is false. Here while statement should end with a ';'.
START

Do.... While loop

PH:22820846
Example1 :- Program to display 1 to 10 numbers in ascending order

using
do...while loop.
# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{
int n=1; / / initialization.
do
{
printf ("\n %d", n);
n++; / /
increment.
} while (n<=10); / / condition
getch ( );
}
Example 2:- To display 1 to 10 numbers in ascending order.

# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{
int i;
for ( i=1 ; i<=10 ; i++)
{
printf ("\n %d", i);
}
getch ( );
}
In for loop we can initialize more than one variable also.

PH:22820846
Example 3 :- Program that demonstrates for loop with multiple

variable
initialization.
# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{
int b,c;
for ( i = 1 , j =10 ; i <= j ; i++, j--)
{
printf ("\n %d", i );
}
getch ( );
}
The above program will print 1 to 5 numbers only . Both i & j is

initialized. I will be incremented and j will be decremented.
Example 4 :- Calculation of simple interest for 3 set of p,n and r

using For
loop.
# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{
int p , n , count;
float r , si;
for (count = 1; count <=3; count =
count+1)
{
printf ("\n Enter values of p, n &
r");
scanf ("%d %d %f ", & p , & n , &
r);
si = p*n*r/100;
printf ("\n Simple interest = Rs.
%2f", si);
}
getch ( );
}

PH:22820846
 The infinite Loop :-
The loop that we have used so far executed the statement within them
a finite number of times. However in real life programming one may
come across a situation that it is not known beforehand how many times
the statement in the loop are to be executed. In such case we can use
infinite loop.
Example1 :- Program to display square of given number.
# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{
char another = 'y'
int num;
while ( another = = 'y' or another = = 'Y')
{
printf ("\n Enter a number");
scanf ("%d", & num);
printf ( "square of %d is %d", num ,
num*num ); printf ("Another number
(y/n) ? ");
flush (stdin);
scanf ("%c", & another );
}
In this program the while loop would keep getting executed till the user
continues to answer Y. The moment he answers n , the loop terminates,
since the condition (another = = 'y') fails. flush (stdin) is used to remove
any data remained in the buffer. The argument stdin means buffer
related with standard input device.

PH:22820846
 The Infinite for loop :-

Infinite for loop can be used to perform certain operation infinitely like
displaying a time , changing color or rectangle etc. The loop should be
given without any condition.
Example1 :- Program that demonstrates infinite for loop.
# include <stdio.h>
# include <dos.h>
# include <process.h>
main ( )
{
int i = 1;
for ( ; -;)
{
delay (1000);
if (kbhit ( ))
{ exit (0); }
i++;
}
}
The above program will be executed until user hits a key. Number will
be printed one by one with some time duration delay ( ), kbhit ( ), exit
(0) are the built in functions.
• delay (int milliseconds) :-

Delay ( ) function is used to set time limit to
perform the operation. It takes the argument (time) in milliseconds.
Defined in dos.h.
• Kbhit ( ):-
kbhit ( ) function checks whether a key is hit or
not. It returns true if any key is hit from keyboard otherwise returns
false. Defined in conio.h.

PH:22820846
• Exit (int) :-
It is used to terminate the program execution. It takes integer
argument as 0 or 1.
 Nested loop :-
A loop within a loop is known as Nested loop.
Example :- To print a character in following format.

*
**
***
****
*****
# include <stdio.h.
main ( )
{
int i , j ;
for ( i=1 ; j<=1 ; j++)
{
printf ("*");
}
printf ("\n");
}
getch ( );
}
Here inner loop will be executed for 5 times till outer if condition is
satisfying. First a single '*' will be printed and inner loop will be closed
then cursor will be set to next line using "\n". i will be incremented and
again inner loop will be executed, now it will print two stars. Outer loop
value remains constant for complete inner loop.

PH:22820846
 The Break Statement :-

We often come across situation where we want to jump out of a loop
instantly without waiting to get back to the conditional test. The
keyword 'break' allow us to do this. When 'break' is encountered inside
any c loop, control automatically passes to the first statement after the
loop. A break is usually associated with an 'if' statement . If it is used in
a nested loop, break will terminate only that loop in which it is given.
Example :- Write a program to determine whether a number is

prime or not.
# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{
int num , i , prime =1;
printf ("\n Enter a number");
scanf ("%d", & num);
i = 2;
while (i < num)
{
if (num %1 = = 0)
{
prime = 0;
break;
}
else
{
prime =1;
}
i++;
}
if ( prime = =1)
printf ("Number is Prime
");
else
printf ("\n Number is not
prime");
getch ( );
}
In above example prime is used as flag variable, if remainder of the

division (num%i) is 0 then prime will set to 0. If condition is false then
prime will set to 1 and loop will be terminated with the break statement
as there is no need to check further. After the loop message will be
printed as per the value of prime.

PH:22820846
 The Continue Statement :-

In some cases we want to take the control to the beginning of the
loop, by ignoring the statement inside the loop which has not yet been
executed. The 'continue' statement allows us to do this. When continue
is encountered inside any loop, control automatically passes to the
beginning of the loop.
A 'continue' is usually associated with an 'if '. Following program

illustrates the use of continue statement.
Example :- To print the values of i and j.
# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{
int i , j ;
for (i =1; i<=2; i++)
{ for ( j =1; j<=2; j++)
{ if (i = = j)
continue;
printf ("\n %d %d \n ", i , j);
}
}
}
The output of above program would be

1 2
2 1
Note that when the value of i equals that of j , the continue statement
takes control to the starting of inner for loop by ignoring rest of the
statements pending for execution in the inner for loop.

PH:22820846
 Decision making using Switch :-

In real life we are often face with situation where we require to make a
choice form a number of alternatives rather than one or two. The control
statement, which allows us to make a decision form the number of
choices, is called 'switch' or more correctly a switch-case-default, since
these three keywords go together to make up the control statement.
Syntax :-
Switch (integer expression)

{
case constant 1;
break;
case constant 2;
break;
:
default :
default statement ;
}
• The expression following switch keyword is any 'c' expression that

yields an integer value.
(a) It could be an integer constant like 1,2,3----------------
(b) A variable that evaluates to an integer or char.
• An integer or a character constant follows the keyword case in the
condition.
• Each constant in each case must be different from all the others.
• The group of statements in the above form of switch represents
any valid 'c' statements.
• The integer expression. following the keyword switch is evaluated.
• The value is gives is then checked one by one against the constant
value that follows the case statement.
• When a match is found the program executes the statement
following that case condition.
• The break statement used in a switch takes the control outside the
switch once the condition is satisfied.
• If no match is found with any of the case statements, then only the
default statement will be executed.
• There are multiple statement to be executed in each "case" there is

no need to enclose them within a pair of braces. Unlike if and
else.
• The switch statement is very while menu derive programs.

PH:22820846
• The operation of switch :-
START
Yes
Case1 Statement 1
No
Yes
Case2 Statement 2
No
Yes
Statement 3
Case3 No
Yes
No
Case4 Statement 4
Switch
STOP

PH:22820846
Example 1 :- Program to display message using Switch .. Case

structure.
# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{
int i = 2;
switch (i)
{
case 1 : printf ("\n I am in case 1");
break;
break;
break;
default : printf (" I am default ");
}
getch ( );
}
In above program value of i is 2. i is passed to the switch block. Case

conditions will be checked one by one . Case 1 is false so it will check
next case. Case 2 is true and it will print message as : 'I am in case 2'.
the immediate Break statement will terminate the switch block.
Example 2 :- Program to illustrate Switch Structure with character

value.
# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{ char c = 'x ' ;
switch (c)
{
case ' v ' : printf ("\n I am in case
v");
break;
case ' a ' : printf ("\n I am case a
");
break;
default : printf ("\n I am in case
default");
}
getch ( );
}
The output of this program is : ' I am in case default '.

PH:22820846
Example 3 :- To display menu as below and perform the operation

as per
given choice using switch structure.
MENU
-----------------------
1. Circle .
2. Square .
3. Exit .
------------------------
# include <stdio.h>
# include <process.h>
# define PI 3.14
main ( )
{
int r , ch ;
float a;
clrscr ( );
printf ("\n\t MENU");
printf ("\n\t ------------------");
printf ( "\n\t 1. Circle.");
printf ("\n\t 2. Square. ");
printf ("\n\t 3. Exit . " );
printf ("\n\t -----------------------")'
printf (\n\t Enter your choice :");
scanf ("%d", & ch);
switch (ch)
{
case 1 : printf ("\n Enter radius :");
scanf ("%d", & r);
a = PI*r*r;
printf ("\n Area or Circle =
%.2f", a);
break;
case 2 : printf ("\n Enter side:");
scanf ("%d", & r);
a = r*r ;
printf ("\n Area or Square =
%.2f", a);
break;
case 3 : exit (0);
default : printf ("\n you have entered
wrong choice!");
}
getch ( );
}

PH:22820846
ARRAYS
It is the set of homogeneous data items which can be referred by the

common name. Array is a finite ordered set of similar data elements. It
is the list of items which are bound together in common relationship.
Arrays are called as subscripted variable because array uses the
subscript i.e. [ ] and the arrays are called as indexed variable because the
array elements can be accessed by using index number. Arrays are
divided into following types.
There are two types of arrays:
1) One dimensional.
2) Two or multi dimensional.
For one dimensional array we have to specify only one dimension i.e.
number of elements. For two or multi dimensional array we have to
specify more than one dimension. Two dimensional arrays are also
known as matrix.
int a [5];
char str [10];
int num [3] [3];
char name [5] [10];
In above example a and str are one dimensional arrays while num and
name are two dimensional array, a is integer array with five elements,
num is a two dimensional array having 3*3 - 9 elements. It is also
known as a 3 by 3 matrix with 3 rows and 3 columns. Character Array
have some differences, str is one dimensional character array which can
hold 10 characters i.e. one word. While name is a two dimensional
character array in which first dimension is the number c elements and
second dimension is the width of each element i.e. name array can hold
five names each of having 10 characters length. We can not store
multiple strings in a single dimensional array.
When an Array is declared it gets defined in a consecutive memory

locations and each location is considered as an element of the array.
If we have array like

int num [6];
Then the computer reserves five continuous storage location i.e.

PH:22820846
Memory location
Number
Element number
6002 6004 6006 6008 6010 6012
0 1 2 3 4 5
Num
Array Name
Storage Locations in Array.
Memory location are given as 6002, 6004,...because integer value takes

two bytes.
 Initialization of Array:-
An array can be initialized in different ways. Following are the
different ways for initializing numeric array.
int num [5]; Declaring an array. Array will hold

garbage value.
Or
int num [5];
num [0]= 35; Element can be initialized separately.
num [1]= 40;
Or
int num [5] = {35,40,45,50,55}; Numbers will be stored one by one .
Or
Int num[ ] = {10,20,30,40}; The size or array will be taken as per
numbers
given.
Or
Int num[5]=[10]; All the elements are initialized to zero.
Or
Int num[5]= {1,2,3}; Remaining elements will be initialized to
zero.

PH:22820846
Now the array will look like :-
35 40 45 50 55
Initialization of Array
0 1 2 3 4
num
The subscript of an array can be integer constants, integer variables like
p , or expression that yield integers, or all characters etc. usually the
array of characters is called a "string", where as a array of integers &
floats is called simply array.
• Note :-
All the elements of any array must be of the same type i.e. we cannot
have an array of 10 numbers of which 5 are integers and 5 are floats.
* Initialization of character array :-

Character array can be initialized in following ways :-
char name[10]; Declares a character array

Or
char name[5]= {'A','R','R','A','Y'}; Initializes the elements with five
character
Or
char name[5]={'A','B','C'}; Stores three character to the array
elements and
remaining elements contains blanks.
Or
Char name[ ] = {'M','C','E','D'}; Takes the size of array according to the
the characters stored.
Example :- char name [8] = {'W','E','L','C','O','M','E'};

Declares name as character array (string) that hold maximum of 7
character string "WELCOME". Each character of the string is treated as
an element of array name and stored in the memory as follows.
W E L C O M E \O

Name
PH:22820846
Character Array
Each character in the array occupies one byte of memory and the last
character is always '\O' (null character). It tells that where the string
ends. The string without '\O' is not a string but just a collection of
characters. Using this we do not have to rely upon the length of the
string. When the compiler sees a character string it terminates it with an
additional null character. Thus the element name[8] holds the null
character. When declaring character. arrays we must always allow one
extra elements space for the null terminator.
Example :- while (name[i] !='\O')

{
-------------
-------------
}
Following program illustrates how array are declared and manipulated :-
Example 1 :- Write a program to store five numbers in the array and

display it
on screen.
# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{
int a[5] = {35,40,50,20,60};
int i;
clrscr ( );
for (i = 0 ; i<5; i++)
{
printf("\n %d", a[i]);
}
getch ( );
The program will print five numbers stored in the array. Arrays can be
manipulated using a loop. Elements can be varied using a variable i i.e.

PH:22820846
a[i] will refer to each element. To repeat the same procedure a loop is
used. But here every time it will print the same five numbers, to print the
numbers entered through keyboard scan ( ) function should be used.

PH:22820846
Example 2 :- Program to accept 5 numbers in the array using scan (

) function
# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{
int a[5];
int i;
clrscr ( );
printf ("\n Enter five numbers:");
for (i = 0; i<5; i++)
{
scanf ("%d", & a [i] );
}
printf ("\n Five numbers entered");
for ( i = 0 ; i<5 ; i++)
{
printf ("\n %d", a[i]);
}
getch ( );
}
Here every time it will accept new numbers and print it. Character
arrays are manipulated in the same way as integer array.
Example 3 :- Program to print 5 characters stored in array.

# include <stdio.h.
main ( )
{
char str[5] = { 'A','R','R','Y'};
int i ;
clrscr ( );
printf ("\n the array is");
for ( i = 0; i<5; i++)
{
printf ("\n %c", a[i]);
}
getch ( );
}
Though str is a character array, its elements are referred by integer value
so i should be of integer type. 'c' operator takes a single character. The
complete string (array) can be printed using '%s' operator. It also be used
with scan ( ) to accept a string. %s considers the whole string at a time
as:

PH:22820846
Example 4 :- Program to accept a string in array with %s operator

using
scanf ( ) function.
# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{
char str[25];
clrscr ( );
printf ("\n Enter a string :");
scanf ("%s", str);
printf ("\n the array is : %s", str);
getch ( );
}
Here for loop is not required and we have to specify the array name only
in the printf ( ) and scanf ( ) statement. Another way to access the array
elements is using pointer, which we will see later.
 The gets ( ) and puts ( ) functions :-

In above example scanf ( ) is used to accept a string. If the string is
entered as "Happy Diwali" then only the word "Happy" will gets stored
in the array and it will not terminate the string by \O.i.e. scanf ( ) is not
capable of receiving multi-word strings, sentences or space between
characters. To overcome this limitation gets ( ) function can be used,
gets ( ) function can accept blank spaces and it into the array. To this
function we have to pass the array name. It also automatically stores
'\O' to end the string.
• Syntax : - gets (array name);
• Example :- gets (name); where name is a character

array.
Similarly puts ( ) function works. It prints the whole string at a time

screen.
• Syntax : - puts (array name);
• Example :- puts (name);

Following program illustrates the use of gets ( ) and puts ( ) functions.

PH:22820846
Example 5 :- Program to accept a string and convert it into upper

case.
# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{
char str [25];
int i = 0;
printf ( "\n Enter a string:");
gets (str);
while (str[i] != ' \ O' )
{
if (str[i] >=97 && str[i] <123)
{ str[i] = str[i] - 32 ; }
i++;
}
printf ("\n String in upper case :");
puts (str);
getch ( );
}
 Two Dimensional Arrays :-

The arrays can have more than one dimension also. In mathematics,
we represent a particular value in a matrix by using two subscripts such
as Vij. Here V denotes the entire matrix and Vij refers to the value in the
ith row and j th column. C allows us to define such a table of items by
using two dimensional arrays. A two dimensional array requires two
dimensions. It is also called as matrix.

PH:22820846
• Two dimensional Array Declaration :-

Declaration of two dimensional arrays is same as one dimensional array
only we have to specify two dimensions.
Syntax :-
Data type array name [row size][column size]
Example :-
int V [4][3]; Creates a 4 by 3 matrix.

int n [2][2]; Creates a 2 by 2 matrix.
char name [5][10]; Declares a character array with 5 elements and
10
characters width for each element.
• Character array can be initialized as :-

char name [3][10];
Or
char name [3][10] = {"Parag","Ram","Akshay"};
Or
char name [3][10] = {
"Parag",
"Ram",
"Akshay"
};
Name array can hole 3 names with maximum of 10 characters length.

PH:22820846
• The array will be stored in memory as :-
n [0][0] n [0][1] n[1][10] n[1][1]
10 20 30 40
Array stored in memory
• The character array will look like :-
name [0] P a r a g \0
name [1] R a m \0
A k s h y \0
name [2]
Character Array

PH:22820846
Example :- Program to display the number stored in two

dimensional arrays
in a matrix form.
# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{
int n[3][3];
int i , j;
printf ( "\n Enter the numbers for a 3 by 3
array :");
for (i = O ; i<3; i++)
{
for (j = O ; j<3; j++)
{
scanf ("%d", & n [ i ] [ j ]);
}
}
printf ("\n the numbers are : \n");
for (i = O; i<3 ; j++)
{
for ( j = O ; j<3; j++)
{
printf ("%3d", n [i ] [ j ]);
}
printf ("\n);
}
getch ( );
}
It the numbers entered as 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 then they are printed in
following format
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
The program contains a two dimensional array of 3 rows and 3

columns. A nested for loop is used to accept and display numbers in
each element. To vary the elements i and j counter variables are used.
%3d is a formatted operator which will set the width as 3 for each
element. Character '\n' is given outside the inner loop as the line changes
for each row only. Individual element can be referred as n [ i ] [ j ].

PH:22820846
This mechanism can be used for matrix operations like matrix addition,
matrix, multiplication etc.
Example :- Program to perform matrix multiplication.

# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{
int m1[2][2], m2[2][2], m3[2][2];
int i , j , k;
printf ("\n Enter matrix 1 :");
for (i = O; i<2; i++)
{ for ( j = O; j<2; j++)
{
scanf ("%d", & m1[ i ]
[ j ] );
}
}
printf ("\n Enter matrix 2 :");
for (i = O; i<2; i++)
{ for ( j = O; j<2; j++)
{
scanf ("%d", & m2 [ i ] [ j ] );
}
}
for (i = O; i<2; i++)
{ for ( j = O; j<2; j++)
{
m3 [ i ] [ j ] = O;
for (k = O; k<2; k++)
{
m3 [ i ] [ j ] + = ( m1 [ i ] [ k ] * m2 [ k ]
[ j ] );
}
printf ("%3d", m3 [ i ] [ j ] );
}
printf ("\n");
}
getch ( );
}
In above example three for loops are used. Third for loop is for k . In
matrix multiplication one row of first matrix is multiplied with each
column value of second matrix and final addition will be stored in the
resultant matrix. To repeat the multiplication and to perform their
addition k loop is used. The current multiplication will be added to the
previous multiplication and it will be stored in the resultant matrix i.e.
m3 [ i ] [ j ].

PH:22820846
STORAGE CLASSES
Variable declaration is the important step of any program. To store

different values we need a variable. While declaring the variable we
have to specify its 'data type' as well as its 'storage class' i.e. all the
variables always have some default storage class. When a variable is
defined it gets stored at particular location in computer. There are
mainly two types of locations where values can be stored : 1) Memory
2) CPU registers. the storage class determines these locations.
These Storage classes tells us
i) Where the variable would be stored.

ii) What will be the default initial value of the variable if not specified.
iii) Scope of the variable i.e. in which function the variable is available.
iv) Life of a variable.
 There are four storage classes in C :-

a) Automatic Storage Class.
b) Register Storage Class.
c) Static Storage Class.
d) External Storage Class.
• Automatic Storage class :-

It is the default storage class for any variable if not specified.
Its characteristics are :-
Storage :- Memory
Default Initial Value :- A garbage value or unpredictable value.
Scope :- Is accessible to the block only in which it is
defined.
Life :- Remain in existence till the control is within
the block.
The variable should be declared using Auto keyword. It gets stored in

memory.

PH:22820846
Example: - Program to illustrate Auto storage class.

# include <stdio.h.
main ( )
{
auto int i , j;
printf ("\n %d %d", i , j);
}
The above program will print any two values as

2765 1211
Where 2765, 1211 are the garbage values of i and j. These variables are
not accessible by any other function in the program. Its scope and life is
restricted for the procedure in which it is defined.
• Register Storage Class:-
Register storage class is having following features:-
Storage :- CPU Register.

Default initial value :- Garbage value.
Scope :- Local to the block in which it is defined.
Life :- Till the control remains within the
block.
Values stored in the CPU register can be accessed faster than the values
stored in memory. When any variable is occurring multiple times in the
program, its storage class should be register.e.g. Loop counter variables
can be stored in the register as its values changes many times in the
program. Only the thing to remember is that CPU registers are limited.
.If the variable doesn't get stored into register because of unavailability
of space then the variable will be considered as auto. We can not use
register storage class for all types of variables.
Example: - Program that demonstrates register storage class.

# include <stdio.h>
main ( )

PH:22820846
{
register int i ;
for (i = 1; i<=20; i++)
{
}
}
Here variable i is stored in register so it gets accessed faster in the loop.
• Static Storage Class :-

Following are features of static storage class :-
Storage :- Memory
Default initial Value :- Zero
Scope :- Local to the block in which it is defined.
Life :- Value of the variable remains static
between
different function calls.
The value of static variable remains alive through the whole program.
That is the variable gets initialized only once.
Example :- Program that illustrates static storage class.

# include <stdio.h>
void increment ( );
main ( )
{
increment ( );
increment ( );
increment ( );
}
void increment ( )
{
static int i = 1;
i=i+1;
}
Here the variable i is defined as static in the function increment ( ) and

the function is called three times in the main ( ) function. The value of i
will be printed as :
1
2
3
Here variable gets initialized only once. For other function calls, the
value remains as it is. So the output is in incremented form. Static

PH:22820846
variables are also local to the block in which it is defined. If the variable
is defined auto every time the value of i will be printed as
1
1
1
External Storage Class :-
The feature of External storage class is :-
Storage :- Memory
Default initial value :- Zero
Example: - Program for extern storage class.

# include <stdio.h>
void increment ( );
void decrement ( );
extern int i =1;
main ( )
{
printf ("\n %d", i );
increment ( );
decrement ( );
i = i-1;
printf ("\n %d ", i);
}
void increment ( )
{ i = i + 1;
}
void decrement ( )
{ i = i - 1;
printf ("\n %d ", i );
}
The output of the program is
1 / / initial value of i
2 / / changed by increment ( ) function.
1 / / changed by decrement ( ) function.
0 / / again changed in main ( ) function.
This shows that the variable is accessible by all the functions in the
program and its values also remain as it is. Initial value of i is 1 it gets
incremented by the increment ( ) function i.e.2. Then it will be

PH:22820846
decremented by decrement ( ) function i.e. again 1 and finally it gets

decremented by the main ( ) function, so the final value of i is 0.

PH:22820846
Example: - Program to illustration extern storage class.

void show ( );
# include <stdio.h>
int i = 10;
main ( )
{
int i = 20;
clrscr ( );
print ("\n %d", i);
show ( );
}
void show ( )
{ print ("\n %d ", i );
The output is :-
20
10
The i variable is defined two times. The variable defined inside main ( )
is local variable and variable above main ( ) is global which is
accessible by any function in the program. So print ( ) statement in main
( ) will print the value of i as 20 . Then it is calling show ( ) function
which will print the value of i as 10 it access the global i variable . The
states that "in any function the local variable gets preference over the
global variable".
STRUCTURES
In real world application we have to deal with

different type of data like numbers, character or fractional values. e.g. a
system, which maintains employee information, may have the
information like empno, name, salary, join_date, job etc. Where empno
is integer type, name is character type. To handle all these values with
different variable name is difficult task. To avoid this C provides the
new data type 'Structure'.
"A structure contains a number of data types grouped together. These

data types may or may not be of the same types". It can collect different
type of data items that comprise a given entity. e.g. employee
information, student information, book information etc. Structure is also
known as derived data type or user defined data type. All the values of
structure can be handled using a single variable name known as
structure variable.

PH:22820846
 Declaring a Structure:-
The general form of a structure declaration is:-
Struct <structure name / tag name >

{
structure member 1;
structure member 2;
structure member 3;
..........
..........
..........
};
Example:-
struct book
{
char name [15];
float price;
int pages ;
};
This statement defines a new data types called struct book.

Each variable of this data type will consist of character variable name a
float variable called price and integer variable pages.
Once the new structure data type is defined one or more variables can be
declared to be that type. For example the variables b1, b2, b3; can be
declared to be of type struct book as
struct book
{
char name [15];
float price;
int pages;
} b1,b2 , b3;
OR it can be defined in the main function like:
main ( )
{
struct book
{
char name[15];
float price;
int pages;
};
struct book b1, b2, b3;
PH:22820846
Generally structure should be declared outside any function and still

structure variable can be declared in main ( ) or any other function. Like
primary variables and arrays, structure variables can also be initialized
when they are declared.
Example :-
struct book
{
char name[10];
float price;
int pages ;
};
struct book b1 = {"Basic", 130.00, 500};
struct book b2 = {"Physics", 80, 900};
Note the following points while declaring a structure type :-
i) The structure declaration statement must end with a semicolon ( ';' ).

ii) The structure declaration statement does not tell the compiler to
reserve any space in memory, it just defines a form of a structure.
iii) Usually the structure should be declared above the main ( ) function.
It can also be declared in a separate header file.
iv) To access the structure members a structure variable is required.
 Accessing Structure member :-
In arrays we can access individual elements of an array using a

subscript. Structure uses a different scheme. They use a dot ( '.') operator
with the structure variable. e.g. to refer to individual member of the
structure we have to give b1.pages, b2.price etc.
The general form for this is :-
structure variable . structure member
Note that before the dot there must always be a structure variable and
after the doe there must always be a structure element (member).
Unlike arrays structures are also defined in consecutive memory

locations.
b1.name b1.price b1.pages

Basic 130.00 550

PH:22820846
Memory Map of Structure

PH:22820846
Example 1:- To accept student's information like rno, name, marks

of
subjects etc, and store it in the structure defined.
# include <stdio.h>
struct student
{
int rno;
char name [20];
int m1, m2, tot;
float per;
};
main ( )
{
struct student s1 = { 1, "Ram", 70, 70, 140, 70};
clrscr ( );
printf ("\n \t The student information");
printf ("\n \t ------------------------------------------------");
printf ("\n \t Roll No. Name Sub1 Sub 2 Total Percentage");
printf ("\n \t %d %s %d %d %d %d
%.2f", s1.rno,
s1.name , s1.m1, s1.m2, s1.tot, s1.per ");
getch ( );
}
In above example the information is directly given in the program and it

is printed one by one. The members are referred as s1.rno, s1.m1 etc.
Following example illustrates how data can be accepted in multiple
structure variables.
Example 2 :- To store information for three books in the structure.

# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{
struct book
{ char name [15];
int price, pages;
};
struct book b1, b2, b3;
printf ("\n Enter name, prices & no of pages
for 3 books");
scanf ("%s %d %d ", b1.name, & b1.price, &
b1.pages ");
scanf ("%s %d %d", b2.name, & b2.price, &
b2.pages");

PH:22820846
printf ("\n The data you entered is ");

printf ("\n %s %d %d ", b1.name, b1.price,
b1.pages);
printf ("\n %s %d %d", b2.name, b2.price,
b2.pages);
printf ("\n %s %d %d", b3name,b3.price,
b3.pages);
}
 Array of structure :-
In above program to store data for 100 books we have to define different
structure variables from b1 to b100, which is not very convenient.
Similarly printf ( ) and scanf ( ) statements are given three times which
increases the length of program. A better approach would be to use an
array of structures. The structure variable can be declared as array to
store data for multiple books. It is manipulated in the same way as the
normal array is.
Example :- Program to store multiple records in the array of

structures.
# include <stdio.h>
main ( )
{
struct book
{ char name[15];
int price;
int pages;
};
struct book b[100];
for (i = O; i < = 99; i++)
{
printf ("\n Enter the name, price & pages ");
scanf ("%s %d %d", b[i].name, & b[i].price, & b[i].pages);
}
for ( i = O; i< = 99; i++)
{
printf ("%s %d %d", b[i].name, b[i].price,
b[i].pages");
}
}

PH:22820846
 Nested Structure :-
One structure can be defined within another structure. This is known as
nesting of structures. Using this facility complex data types can be
created.
Example :- Program that demonstrates nested structure.

# include<stdio.h>
main ( )
{
struct address
{
char phone [15];
char city [25];
int pin;
};
struct emp
{
char name [20];
struct address a;
};
struct emp e = {"Bharti","358649","A'bad",
431005};
printf ("\n Name = %s \t Phone = %s",
e.name,e.a.phone);
printf ("\n City = %s \t Pin = %d",
e.a.city,e.a.pin);
}
In the same way the whole structure can be declared within another. the
value of a structure variable can be assigned to another structure
variable of the same type using the assignment operator.
Example :- Program that copies one structure variable to another.

# include<stdio.h>
main ( )
{

PH:22820846
struct employee
{ char name [10];
int age;
float salary: };
struct employee e1 = {"Shrishti", 29,80000};
struct employee e2,e3;
strepy (e2.name,e1.name);
e2.age = e1.age;
e2.salary = e1.salary;
OR
all elements at one go as

e3 = e2;
printf ("\n %s %d %.2f", e1.name, e1.age,
e1.salary");
e2.salary");
e3.salary");
}
The above program will set and print same data for the entire three
variables.
FUNCTIONS
Sometimes it is required to execute a group of statement in a program
multiple times at different situation.E.g. if we need to perform the
addition of two numbers multiple times in the program, for this we have
to write the same code for numbers of times in the program. This
increases the program length and reduces the program efficiency. To
overcome this function concept is used.
" A function is set of instructions used to do a specific task". Every C

program is a collection of such functions. One feature of c is that "C is a
collection of functions".
C functions can be classified into two categories, namely

• Library Function (Built In functions).
• User Defined Function.
 Library functions:-

PH:22820846
Library Functions are the commonly required functions grouped

together and stored in a library. They are predefined functions and can
be called anywhere. E.g. printf ( ), scanf ( ), sqrt ( ), strlen ( ) etc.
Following are some Library Functions given category wise
• Mathematical Functions Header File :

math.h
i) int abs (number) :- Returns the Absolute Value of given

number.
ii) int sqrt (number) :- Returns the Square Root of a given number.
iii) int pow (m,n) :- Returns the nth power of number m.
iv) int random (num) :- Generates random number between 1 to
( num - 1),
defined in stdlib.h

PH:22820846
Example: - Program to implement the above functions.

# include<stdio.h>
# include<math.h>
# include<stdlib.h>
main ( )
{
int n=5, a, m=3, b;
float x;
printf ("\n Enter number for Absolute Value:");
scanf ("%d", &a);
printf("\n Absolute value of %d = %d", a, abs (a));
printf ("\n Enter number for square root :");
scanf ("%f", &x);
printf ("\n Square Root of %.2f = %.2f", x , sqrt (x));
printf ("\n The %dth power of %d = %d", m, n , pow (n,
m));
printf ("\n Random number = %d %d %d ", random
(50),
random 950), random (50);
}
• String Functions :- Header file :

string.h
i) strlen (string exp ) :- Returns the length of the given string.

ii) strcpy (string1, string 2) :- Copies the string 2 into string 1.
iii) stcvmp (string 1, string 2) :- Compares two strings & returns
the integer
difference.
iv) strrev (string1) :- Reverse the given string provided as
argument.
v) strcat (string 1, string 2) :- Concatenate (appends string 2 with
string 1.

PH:22820846
Example 1 :- Program to implement the above functions.

# include<stdio.h>
# include<string.h>
main ( )
{
char str1[30], str2[25], str[25];
int a, b;
printf ("\n Enter String1:");
gets (str1);
printf ("\n Enter String 2:");
gets (str2);
printf ("\n Length of String1 = %d",
strlen (str1));
strcpy (str3, str2);
printf ("\n String3 -- %s", str3);
strrev (str3);
printf ("\n String3 after reversing = %s",
str3);
strcat (str1, str2);
printf ("\n String1 after concatenation =
%s", str1);
}
Example 2:- Program that demonstrates strcmp ( ) function.

# include<stdio.h>
# include<string.h>
main ( )
{
char str1[25], str2[25];
int a;
gets (str1);
gets (str2);
a = strcmp (str1, str2);
if ( a>0)
printf ("\n Strings are in reverse
alphabetical order");
else if (a<0)
printf ("\n Strings are in alphabetical
order");
else
printf ("\n Strings are equal");
}

PH:22820846
• Character functions :- Header file : ctype.h
i) toupper (char exp.) :- Converts a single character into

uppercase.
ii) tolower (char exp.) :- Converts a single character into
lowercase.
iii ) isupper (char exp.) :- Checks whether the given character is in
uppercase
or not.
iv) islower (char exp.) :- Checks whether the given character is in
lowercase or not.
Example 3 :- Program that demonstrates toupper ( ) and tolower ( )

functions.
# include<stdio.h>
# include<ctype.h>
# include<string.h>
main ( )
{
char str[20];
int i;
printf ("\n Enter a string:");
gets (str);
for (i = 0; i<strlen (str); i++)
{
if (str[i] > =97 && str[i] < 123)
printf ("%c", toupper
(str[i]) );
else
printf ("%c", tolower
(str[i]) );
}
}
 User Defined Functions :-

User defined functions are the functions defined by the user to do a
specific task. E.g. addnum ( ), show ( ) print line ( ) etc. The main
difference between these two categories is that library function are not
required to be written by user where as a user defined function has to be
developed by the in the program itself.

PH:22820846
 Need for user defined function :-

Every program must have a main function to indicate where the program
has to begin its execution. While it is possible to code any program
utilizing only main function, it leads to a number of problems. The
program may become too large and complex and as a result the task of
debugging, testing and maintaining becomes difficult.
If a program is divided into functional parts ( subprograms), then each
part may be independently coded and later combined into a single unit.
These subprograms are called as 'Function' and they are much easier to
understand, debut and test.
• Advantage of User Defined Function :-
• Using functions at appropriate places we can reduce the length of

source program. This factor is particularly critical with
microcomputers where memory space is limited.
• It is east to locate and isolate a faulty function for further
investigations.
• Many other programs may use the same function.
• Using function it becomes easier to write the programs and to keep
the track of what they are doing.
•A Multi - Function Program :-

A function is a self contained block of code that performs a particular
task. Once a function has been designed and packed, it can be treated as
"BLACK BOX" that takes some data from the main program and returns
a value. All that the program knows about a function is : What goes in
and what comes out . Every C program can be designed as collection of
these black boxes.
Example :-
printline ( )
{
int i;
for (i = 1; i< 30; i++)
printf ("-");
}
The above set of statements defines a function called printline ( ) which

could print a line of 30-character length. This function can be used in a
program as follows:-

PH:22820846
main ( )
{
printline ( );
printf ("\n This program says c function \n");
printline ( );
}
printline ( )
{
int i;
for (i=1; i<40; i++)
{
printf ("-");
}
printf ("\n");
Output: - A line of 30 characters will be printed. This Program says c

function.
The above program contains one user-defined function: printline ( )
As you know, the program execution always begins with the main
function. During execution of the main, the first statement encountered
is printline ( ); which indicates that the function is to be executed. A
function gets called when the function name is followed by a semicolon.
As this point, the program control gets transferred to the function
printline ( ). After executing the function a line of 30 characters length
will gets printed. The control is transferred back to the main, now the
execution continues with the statement next to printline. After executing
the printf ( ) function the control is again transferred to the
printline ( ) and the line gets printed once more. Here printline ( ) is a
called function and main ( ) is a calling function.
* The Form of C Functions:-

All function has the form:
return type function name (argument list)

{
return (expression);
}

PH:22820846
All parts are not essential. For example, the argument list and its
associated argument declaration part is optional. The declaration of local
variable is required only when any local variable are used in the
function. In the example discussed in the previous section, the main
does not required any local variables, while the printline ( ) function
used one local variables i.e. A function can have any number of
executable statements. A function that does nothing may not include any
executed statement at all. The return statement is the mechanism for
returning a value of the calling function. This is also an optional
statement. It is not given; it indicates tat no value is being returned by
the function.
Writing a function in the program includes three steps.
1) Function Prototype.
2) Function Call.
3) Function Definition.
• Function Prototype:-
It is the declaration statement of the function. It tells the compiler what
type of function it is i.e. return type, parameter type of the function etc.
It should be given above the main ( ) function and it should have a
semicolon. The general form of the prototype statement is :
Return type function name (parameter type):
Example: - void printline ( ) void states that function is

not returning any value.
Or int add (int, int) int states that the function is taking
two int
values and it is returning int value.
Or char find ( ) char states that fine ( ) function is
returning
character value.
* Function call:-
It is a statement using which the function gets executed. When a
function call gets encountered control jumps from main program to the
function definition block. After executing the function statements it
returns to the main program and execute the statement next to the
function call. We can call the function anywhere in any function or
program. A function can also be called into itself; this is known as
'Recursion'.
• Function Definition:-
In the function definition we have to write the code for that function.
The function definition must be outside any function or it can be in the
other program also. We can call the same function for number of times

PH:22820846
in the program. We can call or define more than one function in a single
program in a random sequence. The function definition statement should
match with the function prototype statement.
• Category of functions:-
A function depending on whether arguments are present or not and
whether a value is returned or not, may belong to one of the following
categories.
1. Function with no argument and no returning values [void

function]
2. Function with argument and no returning values.
3. Function with arguments and with returning values.
• Void function:-
When a function has no arguments and it doesn't return anything then is
called as void function. It does not receive any data from the calling
function. Similarly when it does not return a value, the calling function
does not receive any data from the called function. In fact there is no
data transfer between the calling and the called function. The complete
procedure is performed by the function itself.
Function 1 ( ) No Input Function 2 ( )

{ {
------------- ----------------
Function 2 ( ) ----------------
------------- No Output
----------------
------------- }
}
Void Function
No data communication between functions.
Example 1:-
# include <stdio.h>
void add ( ); > Function
Prototype
main ( )

PH:22820846
{
clrscr ( ); > Function Call
add ( );
getch ( );
}
Void add ( ) > Function
Definition
{
int a, b, c;
printf ("\n Enter two numbers:");
scanf ("%d %d", & a, & b);
c = a + b;
printf ("\n Addition = %d", c);
}
Here add ( ) is a user defined function that will perform the addition of
two numbers. It is a void function, which does not take or return any
value. Void add ( ): is the prototype statement of the function. It is
called in the main ( ) function and it is defined below the main function
It can be called anywhere in the program.
Example 2:- Program to accept a string and to convert it into

uppercase using upper ( ) UDF.
# include<stdio.h>
void upper ( );
main ( )
{
clrscr ( );
upper ( );
getch ( );
}
void upper ( )
{
char str[50];
int i;
printf ("\n Enter a string :");
gets (str);
for (i=O; i<strlen (str); i++)
{ if (str[i] >=97 && str[i] < 123)
{ str[i] = str[i] - 32; }
}
print ("\n String in upper case : %s", str);
getch ( );
}

PH:22820846
• Function with Arguments but no return

values:-
We could make the calling function to read data from the user and pass
it on to the called function .This approach seems to be because the
calling functions can check for the validity of data if necessary before it
is handed over to the called function.
Function1 ( ) arguments
Function 2 (b)
{ {
One way data
---------------- ------------------
Function 2 (a) Communication ------------------
----------------- ------------------
} }
Values
Function with arguments but no return values
There are actual and format arguments. Actual arguments are the one
that are passed to the called function e.g. a in above example and format
arguments are the one that are given in the called function to store the
value passed from function. They should match in their data type and
order.
• Arguments matching between calling function and the called

function:-
We should ensure that the function call has matching arguments. Incase
the actual arguments are amore than the formal arguments (m >n), the
extra actual arguments are discarded on the other hand, if the actual
argument are less than the formal argument the unmatched formal
arguments are initialized to some garbage values. Any mismatch in data
types will give error.
While the formal arguments may be variables names, the actual

arguments may be variable names, expression or constants. The variable
used in actual arguments must be assigned values before the Function
call is made. When a function call is made only a copy of the values of
actual arguments is passed into the called function. What occurs inside
the function will have no effect on the variables used in the actual
arguments list.

PH:22820846
• Parameter Passing:-
We can pass the value of parameter to the function using two methods.
1) Call by value.
2) Call by reference.
• Call by value:-
In this method we have to pass the value to the function by directly
specifying the variable name with the function call. In this method a
copy of the original arguments gets created in the function and value in
the actual variable will remain same.
• Call by reference:-
In this method the value should be passed by passing the address
(reference) of variable. In this method the original value will gets
changed by the function. The variable inside the function should be of
pointer type.
Examples based on first method are discussed here. The second method
will be used with pointer concept further.
Example: - Program to create a UDF add ( ) by passing parameter

to the function.
# include<stdio.h>
void add (int, int);
main ( )
{
int a, b;
printf ("Enter two numbers:");
scanf ("%d %d", & a, & b);
add (a, b);
getch ( );
}
void add ( int x , int y )
{
int c;
c = x+y;
printf ("Addition of %d and %d is = %d", x ,
y , c);
}

PH:22820846
Here a , b are the actual arguments and x , y are the formal arguments.
Two numbers are accepted into a and b and they will be passed to the
function when it is called. The value a will be passed into x and value of
b will be passed to y. Similarly we can pass float or character values to
the function. The name of the actual arguments and formal arguments
can be same as they are considered as local variables.
The result will be printed if a = 10 and b = 20 as
Addition of 10 and 20 is = 30.
• Function with Return Values :-

Unlike passing values to a function, function can return a value also. A
function that receive a predefined form of input and again returns
desired values. Such function will have two way data communication.
Function can return a single value at a time.
Fig: - Two way data communication between functions.
Function ( ) Value of Function 2 (b)

{ Arguments. {
Var; -----------------
-------------- -----------------
Var = Function 2 (a) return (value);
----------------- }
} Result
Functions with Return Values.

PH:22820846
Example: - The above add ( ) function with returning values.

# include <stdio.h>
int add (int , int);
main ( )
{
int a,b,c;
scanf ("%d %d", &a , &b);
c = add (a , b);
printf ("Addition = %d",c);
OR
printf ("Addition = %d", add (a,b);
getch ( );
}
int add (int x , int y)
{
int c;
c = a+b;
return c; OR return (a + b);
}
Here the add ( ) function is returning an integer value i.e. the addition of
number passed which gets stored into c in main ( ) function and then it is
printed.
Function with Arrays :-
Like the values of simple variable it is also possible to pass the value of
an array to a function. Entire array can not be passed directly to the
function. It can be passed element by element.

PH:22820846
Following example illustrates this
# include<stdio.h>
# include<conio.h>
void show (int);
main ( )
{
int n[5] = { 10 , 20, 30, 40, 50};
int i;
for (i = O; i<5; i++)
{
show (n [i]);
}
getch ( );
}
void show (int k)
{
printf ("\n %d", k);
}
Here the array is passed element by element to the function so the

function should be called multiple times in the loop.
We can pass an entire array to a called function at a time. It is sufficient

to list the name of the array, without any subscript, and the size of the
array as arguments. This avoids multiple function calls. For example,
the call largest
(a, n) will pass all the elements contained in the array 'a' of size 'n' the
called function expecting this call must be appropriately defined. The
largest ( ) function header might look like:
float largest (float array [ ], int size)
{ }
The function largest is defined with two arguments, the array name and
the size of the array to specify the number of element in the array. The
declaration of the normal argument array is made as follows:
float array [ ];
The pair of brackets informs the compiler that the argument array is an
array of number . It is not necessary to specify the size of the array here.
Another way to pass an entire array to the called function at a time is
using pointer.

PH:22820846
Example :- Program to find largest stored in the array by defining a

function.
# include<stdio.h>
float largest (float [ ], int);
main ( )
{
float num [4] = {2, 5, - 4.75, 13.67, 4.20 };
printf ("\n Largest number is = %.2f", largest
(num,4));
}
float largest (float a[ ], int n)
{
int i;
float max = 0;
for (i=0; i< n; i++)
{ if (a[i] > max )
max = a[i];
}
return (max);
}
In above example largest ( ) function finds the largest number present in

the array passed as an argument. The function takes two arguments, the
entire array is passed by specifying the array name (i.e. num) and second
argument is the size of the array (i.e. 4) . Function returns the largest
value to main ( ) function. In the largest function the size (dimension) of
the array is not specified.
 Passing structure data to function :-

Unlike arrays structure data can also be passed to the function. Structure
contains different type of data. We can entire structure at a time to the
function or individual members can also be passed. To pass the whole
structure to the function specify the structure variable in the function
call i.e. function can take argument of structure type.

PH:22820846
Example :- Program to display structure data through function.

# include<stdio.h>
struct stud
{ int rno, m1, m2, tot;
char name [15];
float per;
};
void display ( struct stud);
main ( )
{ struct stud s1;
printf ("\n Enter rno, name and marks of two subjects:");
scanf (" %d %s %d %d ", %d", &s1.rno, s1.name, &s1.m1,
&s1.m2);
s1.tot = s1.m1 + s1.m2;
s1.per = s1.tot / 2;
display (s1);
getch ( );
}
void display (struct stud s2)
{
printf ("\n Roll no. Name Sub1 Sub2 Total Percentage ");
printf ("\n -------------------------------------------------------------------");
printf ("\n %d %s %d %d %d %.2f", s2.rno,
s2.name, s2.m1, s2.m2, s2.tot, s2.per);
}
Here the complete structure variable s1 is passed to the function to

access all the members. We can also pass individual members to the
function as per the requirement.

PH:22820846
Example :- Program to pass individual members to the function.

# include<stdio.h>
struct stud
{
int rno, m1,m2, tot;
char name [15];
float per;
};
void calc (int, int)
main ( )
{
struct stud s1;
printf ("\n Enter rno, name and marks of two subjects for one
student :"); scanf ("%d %d %d %d", &s1.rno, s1.name, &s1.m1,
&s1.m2);
printf ("\n \n STUDENTS INFORMATION ");
printf ("\n ---------------------------------------------");
printf ("\n\n Roll no. Name Sub1 Sub2 Total Percentage");
printf ("\n
------------------------------------------------------------------");
printf ("\n %d %s %d %d", s1.rno, s1.name,
s1.m1, s1.m2);
calc (s1.m1, s1.m2);
getch ( );
}
void calc ( int a, int b)
{
int t;
float p;
t=a+b;
p = t / 2;
printf (" %d %.2f", t , p);
In above example the structure members m1 and m2 are passed to the

function to calculate total and percentage.

PH:22820846
POINTERS
Consider the declaration
int i = 3;
When a variable is defined , three attributes gets associated with it : 1)

Location number (Address). 2) value at location (variable). 3) Location
name. We may represent location in memory by the following memory.
Location
Number 6485
3 Value at
Location I
Location
Name
Memory Map of a variable
See that computer has selected memory location 6485 as the place to
store the value 3 & it is i's address in a memory. In general programs
whenever a variable is used in any statement, to access its value we have
to search the memory by the variable name. This requires lot of time
when there is large amount of data to be accessed like structure, arrays
etc. Every time the variable is encountered it has to be searched in the
memory. To reduce this time Pointers can be used.
" A pointer is a kind of variable that holds the address of another -

variable".

PH:22820846
 Declaration of pointers :-
To declare a pointer '*' operator is used. The pointer name statement
must precede with '*' operator.
Pointer name can be any valid name.
Syntax :-
Datatype *pointername;
Example :-
int *p;
char *str;
Here 'p' is an integer pointer and 'str' is a character pointer. The

datatype of the pointer should be same as the datatype of that variable
whose address is stored in the pointer.
Using Pointers the value can be accessed by its address i.e. 6485 in
above example. We can print this address through the following
program.
Example 1 :- Program that demonstrates pointer concept.

# include<stdio.h>
main ( )
{
int i = 3;
printf ("\n Address of i = %u", & i);
printf ("\n Value of i = %d", i);
}
The output of program :-
Address of i = 6485
Value of i = 3
Here "&" used in this statement is 'address of operator' which takes

the address (location number) of the variable i i.e. 6485. We have seen
the use of '&' operator in scanf ( ) function to get address of variable. %u
is used as unsigned integer to print this address. The location number is
a long type of value and it may exceed the integer range 32767 and the
address may get printed negative using '%d' operator. To print the
correct address '%u' is used.

PH:22820846
Pointers are manipulated using two operators.
'&' :- 'Address of' operator

'*' :- 'Value at address' operator.
'&' is used to take the address of variable and '*' is used to get the value
stored at a particular address. The value at address operator is also called
"indirection" operator.
Following program illustrates the use of pointers to access the value.
Example: - Program to print the value of a variable using pointer.

# include<stdio.h>
main ( )
{
int i =3;
int *p;
printf ("\n Address of i = %u", & i);
printf ("\n Address of i = %u", p);
printf ("\n Value of i = %d", i);
printf ("\n Value of i = %d", * (& i));
printf ("\n Value of i = %d", *p);
getch ( );
}
Output:-
Address of i = 6485.
Address of i = 6485.
Value of i = 3
Value of i = 3
Value of i = 3
Note that printing the values of "*(&i)" is same as printing the value of
"i" as '*' refers to the value at the address given using '&i'.
Here we have declared a pointer as *p. The address of the variable must
be assigned to the pointer before accessing.

PH:22820846
Example:-
p = & i;
Now the memory map is
6485
6530
3
I 6485
P
Memory map
As you can see,
i's value is 3 and

p's value is address of i.
Example: - Program for addition of two numbers using pointers.

# include<stdio.h>
main ( )
{
int a= 10, b=20, c;
int *p,*q,*r;
p = & a;
q = & b;
r = & c;
*r = *p +*q;
printf ("Addition of two no. is = %d", *r);
}

PH:22820846
 Pointer to function:-
Arguments can be passed to the function using two methods.
1) Call by value. / / As discussed in Function
concept.
In the call by value method the value of each argument in the calling
function is copied to the corresponding formal arguments of the called
function. With this method the changes made to the format arguments in
the called function will not affect to the values of actual arguments in
the calling function. That is in this method original values will not be
updated by the function.
In call by reference method the address of the actual arguments in the

calling function are copied to the format arguments of the called
function. That is using these address the actual arguments (values) are
accessible by the called function. Whatever the changes made by the
function will be affected to the actual arguments (values).
Example: - To interchange the value of two variables using call by

reference method.
# include<stdio.h>
main ( )
{
int a = 10, b =20;
printf ("\n A = %d B = %d", a,b);
swap (&a,&b);
printf ("\n A = %d B = %d", a,b);
}
swap (int *p, int*q)
{
int t;
t = *p;
*p = *q;
*q = t;
printf ("\n A = %d B = %d", *p, *q);
}
The output of above program is

A = 20 B = 10
The swap ( ) function interchanges the values of a and b using their
addresses stored in p and q. & a and & b will copy the address of a and b
into the p and q in the called function.

PH:22820846
 Pointer to structures:-
Unlike a simple variable we can access the structure members using

pointer. The pointer pointing to a structure is known as 'Structure
Pointer'. Structure members are accessed through the structure variable
using '.' operator. In pointer mechanism it is substituted by '-->' (arrow)
operator to access those members using pointers.
Syntax:-
Structure pointer -> structure member
 Pointer to function:-
Arguments can be passed to the function using two
1) Call by value. / / As discussed.
Example: - Displaying the numbers stored in array using function

and pointer.
# include<stdio.h>
void display (int *. int);
main ( )
{
int n[5] = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50};
display (& n[0], 5);
}
display (int *p, int k)
{ int i;
for (i=0; i<k; i++)
{ printf ("\n %d", *p);
p++; /* Pointer pointing to next memory
location*/
}
}
Here the address of 0th element is passed to the display ( ) function.

Thus passing the base address of an array to a function is same as
passing in entire array. It is also necessary to pass the total number of
elements in the array.

PH:22820846
On specifying the name of the array we can get its base address i.e.
address of 0th element. An array name itself refers to its base address.
Thus following &n[0] and n will refer to the same element i.e. 0th
element. Thus by saying *n we would be able to access the 0th element
of the array. That means an array name itself acts as a pointer and it can
also be used to access the array elements using pointer. Similarly by
saying *(n+1) we can refer to the first element of the array and so on.
That is n[i] is same as *(n+i). This concept can be used to handle strings
(character arrays or two dimensional arrays easily.
Example :- To display the characters stored in the array using

pointer.
# include<stdio.h>
# include<string.h>
main ( )
{
char str[25];
int i;
printf ("\n Enter a string:");
gets(str);
for (i=0; i<strlen (str); i++)
{
printf ("%c", * (str +i));
}
}
Example :- Program to convert given string into uppercase using

pointers.
# include<stdio.h>
# include<string.h>
main ( )
{
char str[30];
int i;
printf ("\n Enter any string :");
gets (str);
for (i=0; i<strlen(str); i++)
{
if (*(str +i) >= 97 && *(str + i) <123)
printf ("%c", *(str +i) - 32);
else
printf ("%c", *(str + i));
}
}
FILE MANAGEMENT
PH:22820846
The function such as scanf ( ) and printf ( ) are used to read and
write data. These are the console input / output functions used to
perform input / output operations, which always use the terminal
keyboard and screen as the target place. This works line by line as the
data is small. However many real-life problems involve large volumes
of data and in such situations, the console oriented I/O operations cause
two major problems.
(1) It becomes cumbersome and time consuming to handle large

volumes of data through terminals.
(2) The entire data is lost when either the program is terminated or the
computer is turned off.
The data provided to the program is stored temporarily in the

memory. It is therefore necessary to have a more flexible approach
where data can be stored on the disks and read whenever necessary. This
method implies the concept of files to store data. The Disk input/output
operations are performed on entities called file.
"A file is a place on the disk where group of related data is stored".
"C" supports a number of functions that have the ability to perform basic
file operation. They are divided into two categories :
High level files I/O functions.
Low level files I/O functions.
High level I/O functions are more commonly used in C programs for file
operations because they do their own buffer management. Following is a
list of operations that can be performed on a file.
• Naming a file.
• Opening a file.
• Reading data from a file.
• Writing data to a file.
• Closing a file.

PH:22820846
Following are the High Level File I/O functions :-
• fopen ( ) : creates a new file or open an existing file for use.

• fclose ( ) : closes a file which has been opened for use.
• getc ( ) : reads a character from a file.
• putc ( ) : writes a character from a file.
• fprintf ( ) : writes a set of data values to file.
• fscanf ( ): reads of data values from file.
• getw ( ) : reads an integer from a file.
• putw ( ) : writes an integer from a file.
• fseek ( ) : sets the pointer to a desired position in the file.
• ftell ( ) : gives the current position in the file (in
terms of bytes from the start).
• rewind ( ) : sets the position to the beginning of the
file.
File handling can be done in two ways
(1) Sequential file handling.

(2) Random file handling.
In Sequential File Handling data gets accessed in sequential manner

i.e. from 0 positions to the end of file position.
In Random File Handling data can be accessed randomly from any

position in the file.
The first step of file manipulation is declaring a pointer to access a file

This pointer should of FILE type and known as 'File pointer'.
 Declaring a File Pointer:-

Before reading or writing the information to the file, it must be opened.
Opening a file establishes a link between the program and the operating
system about the file. This link is a structure called FILE that is defined
in the header file stdio.h. When operating system opens the file, a
pointer to this FILE structure is returned. So a pointer is used to access
any file.
Syntax:-
FILE pointer name;
Example:-
FILE *fp;

PH:22820846
Each file will have its own FILE structure. The FILE structure contains
information about the file being used like its current size, its location in
memory. It contains a character pointer which points to a location in file.
Further this pointer is used to open access or close the file.
 Opening a File:-
To open a file fopen ( ) function is used.
Syntax:-
Fopen ("filename"," mode of opening");
Example:-
FILE *fp;
fp = fopen ("data", "r");
In above example fp is a file pointer which contains the address of the

file data.
fopen ( ) will open the file "data" in read mode. The function takes two
arguments.1) name of the file to be opened. 2) mode of opening.
It tells the compiler in which mode the file should be opened. File can
be opened in following different modes:-
"w" :- Write Mode.

"r" :- Read Mode.
"a" :- Append Mode.
Write mode allows to write the data to the file, the specification used is
"w".Read mode is used to read the data from the file specification used
is "r". Append mode allows to append new data to the end of file i.e.
previous data will not be lost. Specification is "a".
e.g.
fp = fopen ("student", "r");
The fopen ( ) function searches the file in the current hard disk location.
If it is present, it loads it into the memory otherwise it returns NULL.
For "w" mode, if the file exists, its contents get overwritten. If file
doesn't exist, a new file is created. If a file is opened in "w' mode, it
doesn't allow to read the data.
Note: - Here both the filename and mode are specified as string. They
should be enclosed in double quotation marks.

PH:22820846
 Closing a file:-
A file must be closed as soon as all operation on it has been completed.
This ensures that all outstanding information associated with the file is
flushed out from the buffers and all links to the file are broken. It takes
the following form.
Syntax:-
fclose (file pointer);
e.g.:-
fclose (fp);
 Reading and writing data to a file:-

Once the file is opened, its contents are stored into the memory and a
pointer is set to the first character of the file. The first two simple
functions to read or write data to the file are :-
getc ( ) and putc ( ).
These functions are used to read or write character information to the

file.
putc ( ) function writes a single character to the file specified by the file
pointer.
Syntax:-
putc (char expression., file pointer);
It takes two arguments: 1) a character expression that has to be written

to the file. It can be a variable or a constant character. 2) A file pointer
which refers to the required file.
e.g.:-
char ch = 'A';
putc(ch,fp); where fp is filepointer.

PH:22820846
Example: - The program to write a string stored in an array to the

new file.
# include<stdio.h>
# include<string.h>
main ( )
{
FILE *fp;
char str[30];
int i=0;
strepy (str, "Happy Diwali");
fp = fopen ( "text", "w");
while (i< strlen (str) )
{ pute (str[i], fp);
i++;
}
fclose (fp);
getch ( );
}
Here fopen ( ) will open the file "text" in write mode and set the file
pointer fp to its zero position. putc ( ) function writes the array
characters element by element to the file. Finally the file will be closed.
The file gets stored permanently on the hard disk. To check whether the
characters are stored in the file, you can display the contents of file from
DOS prompt using the DOS :- type command or you can write another
program to read the contents of file.
getc ( ) function reads a single character from the file. It returns the
character from the current file pointers.
Syntax :-
getc (file pointer);
Example :-
char ch;
ch = getc (fp);
getc ( ) will read one character from the file specified by the pointer i.e.
fp and returns it to the variable ch.

PH:22820846
Example1: - To read the contents of file character by character.

# include<stdio.h>
main ( )
{
FILE *fp;
char ch;
fp = fopen ("text", "r");
while ( (ch = getc (fp)) ! = EOF)
{
printf ("%c", ch); OR putchar(ch);
}
fclose (fp);
getch ( );
}
getc (fp) reads a single character at a time from the file. The program
contains one new statement i.e. EOF keyword. The last position in the
file is known as end of file (EOF) position. The characters will be taken
up to end of file. The file will be closed using fclose ( ). Similarly C
provides two more functions fgetc ( ) and fputc ( ) to read and write
character data to the file.
• Note :-
when getc ( ) reads the character from the file, the pointer will be
automatically advanced (incremented to next position. So there is no
need to increment the pointer as i++ is given in the previous example.

PH:22820846
Example 2 :- Write a program to read data from the keyboard,

write it to a file called INPUT, again read the same
data from INPUT file, and display it on the
screen.
# include<stdio.h>
main ( )
{
FILE *f1;
char c;
printf ("Enter some characters:");
f1 = fopen ("Input", "w");
while ((c = getchar ( ) ) ! = EOF)
{ putc (c, f1); }
fclsose (f1);
printf ("\n Data stored in the file : \n");
f1 = fopen ("Input", "r");
while ( (c = getc(f1)) ! = EOF)
{ printf ("%c",c); }
fclose (f1);
getch ( );
}
Output :-
Data stored in the file : Happy Diwali
 Multiple file handling :-

Consider the following statement
FILE *p1, *p2;

p1 = fopen ("student", "r");
p2 = fopen ("decimal", "w");
Here p1 and p2 are the file pointers used to handle two files at a time.
Student file will be opened in read mode with p1 and decimal file will
be opened in write mode with p2.

PH:22820846
 getw ( ) and putw ( ) function :-
The getw ( ) & putw ( ) are number oriented functions. They are similar
to the getc ( ) and putc ( ) functions and are used to read & write
numeric data. The general forms of getw ( ) & putw ( ) are :
putw (numeric exp., fp);

getw (fp);
Example :- The program that writes 1 to 10 numbers to the file and

read it from file.
# include<stdio.h>
# include<conio.h>
main ( )
{
FILE *fp;
int n;
fp = fopen ("num","w");
for (n=1; n<=10; n++)
{
putw (n, fp);
}
fclose (fp);
getch ( );
}
A file named 'Data' contains a series of integer numbers, code a

program to read these numbers and then write all odd no to a file called
ODD and all even numbers to a file to be called EVEN.
 fprintf ( ) and fscanf ( ) functions :-

In previous programs we have seen how to read or write character or
numeric information from the file using different functions. To handle
different type of values like character, number, float using these function
is a time consuming task. To avoid this C provides another set of
functions which reads or writes multiple values at a time to the file:
fprintf ( ) and fscanf ( ).

PH:22820846
fprintf ( ) functions writes multiple data items to the specified stream.
Syntax:-
fprintf (output stream, "format string", variable list);
It takes three arguments:-
i) output streams to which data should be written. There are two output
streams that can be provided.
a) Standard Output stream i.e. stdout that refers to the standard output
device -screen.
b) File stream i.e. filepointer (fp) that refers to the file.
If filepointer is given, data will be written to the file. If stdout is given
data will be written to screen.
ii) format strings like %d %f etc.
iii) Variable list through which data will be provided to the file.
Example: - To write student data to file or screen.

fprintf ( fp, " %d %s %d %f", rno, name, tot, per); -- Writes data to file.
Or
fprintf (stdout, " %d %s %d %f", rno, name, tot,per); -- Writes data to
screen.
Syntax:-
fscanf (input stream,"format strings", & variable list);
It takes three arguments :-

i) input streams from which data should be taken. There are two input
streams that can be provided.
a) Standard input stream i.e. stdin that refers to the standard input
device - keyboard.
b) File stream i.e. filepointer (fp) that refers to the file.
ii) format strings like %d %f etc.
iii) Variable list in which data will be stored from the file. Here we have
to give '&' operator with the variable name to get is address.
Example :- To read data from file into variables.

fscanf (fp, " %d %s %d %f", &rno, name, &tot, &per);
Or
fscanf (stdin, "%d %s %d %f", &rno, name, &tot,
&per);

PH:22820846
Example :- Program to write employee data to the file.

# include<stdio.h>
main ( )
{
int eno, salary;
char name[20];
FILE *fp;
fp = fopen ("emp", "a");
fprintf (stdout, "Enter empno, name and salary for one
employee :");
fprintf (fp, "%d %s %d", eno, name, salary);
fclose (fp);
fp = fopen ("emp","r");
printf ("\n The employee information:");
fscanf (fp,"%d %s %d", &eno, name , & salary);
printf ("\n %d %s %d", rno, name , salary);
fclose (fp);
getch ( );
}
In above program the first fprintf ( ) function will write the data to
screen as "Enter eno, name, & salary for the employee". fscanf ( ) will
read the data through keyboard and then it will be written to the file
using next fprintf ( ) function. Then file will be opened into read mode
and fscanf ( ) function will read the data from file.
 Random File Accessing :-
In random file handling data can be accessed randomly from the file.
We can move file pointer to any position in the file to access the data. C
provides various functions to manipulate the file pointer. Following are
some pointer manipulation functions :-
i) fseek ( )
ii) ftell ( )
iii) feof ( )
iv) rewind ( )

PH:22820846
• Fseek ( ) :-
fseek ( ) function moves the file pointer to the specified position in the
file. It takes three arguments :-
Syntax :-
fseek (file pointer, offset, position)
i) filepointer: - Specifies the file that is to be accessed.

ii) offset :- It is the number by which the pointer should be
moved
iii) position :- It is the position from which the pointer should be
moved.
Position in the file is a long type of value so we have to specify the T as

long specification with the offset value. The offset value can be negative
also to move the pointer in back direction.
Example:-
21 - moves the pointer two positions ahead.
-51- moves the pointer five positions ahead.
There are three fixed positions in the file which can be specified as a
third argument for fseek ( ) function.
These positions are:-
0 :- Beginning of file.
1 :- Current position in file.
2 :- End of file.
Example:-
fseek (fp, 31, 0) :- Moves pointer three positions ahead from beginning
of file.
fseek (fp, 31, 1) :- Moves pointer three positions ahead from current
position.
fseek (fp, -21, 2) :- Moves pointer two positions back from current
position.
fseek (fp, -41, 2) :- Moves the pointer four positions back from end of
file.

PH:22820846
• feof ( ):-
To check whether the end of file is encountered or not feof ( ) function

is used. It takes one argument i.e. the file pointer. It returns true if
pointer is at end of file position otherwise it returns false.
Syntax:-
feof (filepointer);
Example:-
feof (fp);
• rewind ( ):-
rewind ( ) sets the file pointer back to the beginning of file from any
position. It takes one argument - file pointer
Syntax:-
rewind (filepointer);
e.g.:-
rewind (fp);

PH:22820846
Example: - Program for random file accessing using fseek ( )

function.
# include<stdio.h>
# include<conio.h>
main ( )
{
FILE *fp;
char ch;
long n;
clrscr ( );
n = 01; / / Sets the value is 0,'1' is the long datatype specification.
fp = fopen ("text","w");
while ( (ch = getchar ( )) ! = EOF)
{
putc (ch, fp);
}
fclose (fp);
fp = fopen ("text","r");
while (!feof (fp))
{
printf ("\n %c is at %d position ", getc(fp), fell(fp) );
n--- n | 2|; / / Incrementing the value of n by 2.
fseek (fp, n, 0); / / moves the file pointer two positions
ahead.
}
fclose (fp);
getch ( );
}
The above program will accept data from user using getchar ( )function.
To stop accepting data press F6 key this is recognized by EOF keyword.
Then it will print the characters from the alternate positions as 0,2,4 etc.
fseek ( ) function moves the file pointer two positions ahead for every
iteration. Once it reaches to the EOF, the loop will be terminated.
Position the file is a long type of value so 'I' for long specification is
used.

 Command line arguments :-

To execute any application in C first we have to write a program,
compile it and then execute it through the C editor.
To improve this procedure following steps can be taken:
1) There should be no need to compile the program every time. The

program should be executable form command prompt.
2)We can provide data to the program through command prompt.i.e. the
program can be executed as a command.
The program will be executed based on the arguments passed from

command prompt known as command line arguments. As the program
execution starts from main ( ) function, the arguments has to be passed
to the main ( ) function. These arguments are argc and argv.
Syntax :-
main (int arge, char *argv [ ] )
The name of the arguments can be changed. First argument is the integer
argc which holds the count of the arguments i.e. total no. of arguments
passed. Second argument is an array of pointer to strings which holds
the actual arguments one by one in the element. The strings at the
command line are stored in the memory and their address will be stored
in each element of argv [ ]. These arguments will be used in the
program. The program name will be the first argument which goes in
argv[0]. It is the exe file or command file that is run on command
prompt. Using this we can create commands like dos copy con
command or dos copy command etc.

PH:22820846
Example :- The program to write a "create" command that operates

like a dos
"copy con" command.
# include<stdio.h>
# include<stdlib.h>
main (int argc, char *argv [ ])
{
FILE *fp;
char ch;
fp = fopen (argv[1],"w");
if (argc ! =2)
{
printf ("\n Invalid number of
arguments !");
exit (0);
}
while ( (ch = getchar ( ) ) ! = EOF)
{ putc (ch , fp);
fclose (fp);
printf ("\n One file is copied !");
getch ( );
}
Save above program by the name 'create' , compile and execute it ones
to generate its .exe file and give following command at the command
prompt to create a new file which will be stored on the hard disk..
c:\tc> create mced <press enter>

PH:22820846
Example 2 :- To create a "copy" command which will copy

contents of one file to another.
# include<stdio.h>
# include <stdlib.h>
main (int argc, char *argv [ ])
{
FILE *fp, *fp1;
char ch;
fp = fopen (argv[1],"r");
fp1 = fopen (argv[2],"w");
if (argc ! =3)
{
printf ("\n Invalid no. of arguments!");
exist (0);
}
while (ch = getc (fp)) ! = EOF)
{
putc (ch, fp1);
}
fclose all ( );
printf ("\n One file is copied !");
getch ( );
}

PH:22820846
GRAPHICS
Computer Graphics is one of the most powerful and interesting
feature of computer. It allows you to draw something. All video games,
animation, multimedia works using computer graphics. This chapter
describes how these things are achieved in C.
C provides various in built standard library graphics functions that
can be used to perform different operations. These functions are defined
in the header file Graphics. It contains the definitions of all the graphics
functions. Before starting the graphics application first let's learn
something about the graphics mode. There are two modes in computer.
i) CUI :- Character User Interface and

ii) GUI : - Graphical User Interface.
Windows is a good example of GUI in which everything is performed in

graphical form. We can see images, colors, shapes etc. The image
resolution depends upon the adapter and monitor installed on the
computer. The screen coordinates are measured in pixels for graphics
mode. The number of dots or picture elements (pixels) available to us on
the screen in the graphics mode is known as resolution. Greater number
of dots, higher is the resolution.
Consider the following program that draws a circle on screen.
# include<stdio.h>
# include<graphich.h>
main ( )
{
int gdriver = DETECT, gmode;
initgraph (&gdriver, &gmode," ");
setcolor (RED);
circle (100,150, 50);
closegraph ( );
}
The above program contains circle ( ) function that draws a circle of

radius 50 at 100, 150 position.
Syntax:-
Circle (x position, y position, radius)

PH:22820846
First two arguments are the x , y coordinates from where the circle will
be drawn on screen. Third argument is the radius fro the circle. You can
use a variable as a argument.
Example:-
a = 20
circle (200, 300, a);
setcolor ( ) function will set the background color as RED.
To run any graphics program first the graphics (mode) should be

initialized. To set the graphics mode that provides high resolution.
Initgraph ( ) function is used. It takes three arguments i) graphics driver
ii) graphics mode and iii) Path for the file. First two arguments passed
are gd and gm. gd. gm is two integer variables. The initgraph ( )
function figures out the best resolution and stores the number
corresponding to that mode in the variable gm. The gm number tells us
which monitor we are using. The variable gd refers to the graphics
driver. Device drivers are the small programs which directly
communicate with the hardware. Graphics drivers are set of device
drivers and are applicable only in the graphics mode. They execute the
task assigned to them. Turbo C provides certain graphics drivers. They
are the files with extension .bgi. Depending on what adapter is used, one
of these drivers gets selected by the DETECT statement. DETECT is
macro that selects the driver installed on the computer. Third argument
is the path for the driver file.
Ones the graphics is initialized, the cursor disappears and the

screen coordinates changes to pixels and we can draw any shape on
screen using the graphic functions.

PH:22820846
 Following are some graphics functions and

their use:-
• Initgraph (&gd, &gm, "path") :- Initializes
the graphics mode from
graphics operations.
• Line (x1, y1, x2, y2) :- Draws a line from

(x1, y2) to (x2,
y2) where x1. y1, x2, y2 are
integer variable that represents the

screen
Coordinates.
• Circle (xc, yc, rad) :- Draws a

circle with center xc, yc
and radius rad.
• Rectangle (x1, y1, x2, y2) :- Draws a

rectangle with (x1, y1)
and (x2, y2) as corners.
• Setcolor (color) :- Set the color
for the graphics
drawn.
• Get color ( ) :- Gets the

current drawing color.
• Getbkcolor ( ) :- Gets the

current background color.
• Setbkcolor (color) :- Sets the

background color.
• Out text (string) :- Displays a

string in the
view port(screen)
• Outtextxy (x, y, string) :- Displays a

string at specified
position.
• Setline style (type, pattern, thickness):-Sets

different styles for the line.

PH:22820846
• Getmaxx ( ) and getmax ( ) :- Gets the maximum

x, y
screen coordinates.
• Clearviewport ( ) :- Clears the

current view port
i.e. screen.
• Closegraph ( ) :- Close the

graphics system and
deallocates the memory
allocated
by the graphics system.

PH:22820846
Some examples using above graphics functions:-
Example 1:- Program which will print a face on screen.
# include<stdio.h>
# include<graphics.h>
main ( )
{
initgraph (&gdriver, &gmode." "); / / Initialises graphics.
clearviewport ( ); / / Clears the
graphics screen.
setbkcolor (CYAN);
setcolor (BLUE);
circle (300, 260, 60);
ellipse (275, 240, 10, 360, 8, 13);
ellipse (325, 240, 10, 360, 8, 13);
line (300, 240, 295, 270);
line (295, 270, 303, 269);
arc (300, 280, 182, 1, 20);
fillellipse (275, 245, 5, 9);
fillellipse (325, 245, 5, 9);
getch ( );
closegraph ( ); / / Closes(deinitialises)
graphics screen.
}

Example 2 :- Program to Draw a clock screen.
# include<graphics.h>
# include<conio.h>
main ( )
{
initgraph (&gdriver, &gmode," ");
clearviewport ( );

fillellipse (279, 240,5, 5);
line (279, 135, 279, 240);
line (240, 178, 280, 240);
line (279, 239, 355, 270);
outtextxy (275, 125, "12");
outtextxy (365, 235, "3");

PROGRAMMING IN C++ LANGUAGE
 Looping Structure in C++:-
In C++ language is a object oriented language it is developed in

bell laboratories by Bjarne startup. The C++ language consist of same
PH:22820846
special feature rather than C programming in C++ language is the next

version of C programming language due to some disadvantages of C
language there is development of C++ language. The C++ language
removes. The limitations of programming languages are as follows :-
1) The main thing is it is difficult to read the keyboard, invert the vector.
For display of data or a function that checks or correct input is important
but it cannot be check.
2) The data makes up the inventory is probebbaly read from a list into
memory it treated as global variable.
 Object oriented programming (OOPS):-
The fundamental ideas define the object oriented language is to

combine into a single a program in to birth data and functions. Such a
single program is called as object.
An object P is called member function in C++ difficulty it
provide the main the access it's data if we want to read data item of and
object. We can call a member function in the object. It will read the item
and return the value to gives you can not access the data directly the data
is hidden, so it is safe from accidental alteration. The data and its
function are enclosed input a single entity known as Encapsulation.
Data
We can't access data directly

Membership
Member fan

PH:22820846
If we want to modify the data in an object we know exactly that

function interface with a no other function can we access the data this
simplifies. Writing debugging and maintain the program.
A C++ program consists of a number of object that
communicates with each other by calling one another's member
functions. The member functions in C++ are called as methods.
 Features of Object Oriented Programming Language:-
The C++ programming language is an object programming

language it is more useful and easy for programming. We can handle
data of C++ programming language due to it's characteristics of
programming there are some major features of object oriented
programming language are as follows:-
1) Class
2) Object
3) Inheritance
4) Reusability
5) Facility of creating new data type
6) Polymorphism and overloading.
1) Class:-
A class is that block of Object Oriented Program where data and

functions are placed together, one below the other. In other words, a
class resembles the structure of C. In structure only data is placed
whereas in a class data and functions both are placed together. Therefore
a class of C++ is considered as an extension of structure of C. The data
and functions together from a capsule and the capsule so formed is
called as a "class". In other words, a class is a template of data and
function.

PH:22820846
2) Object:-
In c, after defining the template of structure, the structure

variables are declared. As soon as a structure variable is declared,
memory gets allocated to all the members of structure, depending upon
their memory requirements. In a similar manner, an object is nothing but
a variable of class type. Consider the following segment of Object
Oriented Program.
:
:
class vivek
{
private:
int fees;
public:
void accept_fees (void)
{
cout<<"Enter fees";
cin>> fees;
}
void show_fees (void)
{
cout<<"college fees is";
<<fees<<endl;
}
};
The above segment of Object Oriented Program shows the definition of

a class named "vivek" that has encapsulated the data member "fees" and
the functions named "accept_fees ( )" and "show_fees ( )". Now recall
the declaration of a structure variable in C. As a variable of structure
type can be declared, a variable of class type can also be declared.
Consider the following declarative statement.
class vivek nis;

PH:22820846
In the above example "vivek" is the template name of a class.

Using "vivek" a variable "nis" is declared in the above declarative
statement. This variable "nis" of class "vivek" type is called an object of
"vivek" (i.e. a variable of vivek).
The object "nis" gets its own private memory to place its data
member "fees" and member functions"accept_fees ( )".As we have
declared one object "nis" of class "vivek". We can declare as many
objects as we want. All these objects enjoy their own private memories
to place their own data members and member functions. Consider the
following declarative statement.
Class vivek ob1, ob2, ob3, ob4, ob5, ob6, ob7
Here all the objects ob1 to ob7 belongs to the same class "vivek" and so
we can also say that all these objects together are making a class named
"vivek". Thus a group of objects can also be considered as a class.
3) Inheritance:-
A newly born baby usually inherits some features

of father and some features of mother, say intelligence of father and
beauty of mother. In addition to this inheritance, the baby has her own
features too. In the same manner a class of OOP can inherit the features
of another existing class. Consider the following diagram that illustrates
the concept of inheritance in OOP.
4) Reusability:-
The concept of inheritance leads to the concept of

reusability of existing codes. By virtue of inheritance, the member
functions that are defined in one class can be called for execution by the
objects of derived classes. Consider a class that creates a menu, this
class works fine and we do not want to change it but want to add the
capability to make same menu entries flash on and off. To do this, we
can simply create a new class that inherits all the capabilities of the
existing one but adds flashing menu entries. This is nothing but the
reusability of the existing software.

PH:22820846
5) Facility of Creating New Data Types:-
The facility of creating new data types is not a new

concept in OOP. C has the concept of "structure" and "union" that lets
the programmer create a new user defined data type using the built in
data types of the language. C++ has implemented the same but in an
advanced and sophisticated manner. In C++ the class name is used as an
abstract data type for defining objects. One of the benefits of objects is
that they give the programmer a convenient way to construct new data
types.
6) Polymorphism and Overloading:-
Polymorphism / overloading is a new concept that is

given by Object Oriented Programming. This new concept can be
implemented either on the functions or on the operators. More than one
functions, if are given the same name, then such functions are called as
overloaded function. Similarly the operators can also be overloaded. A+
(plus) operator can add two isolated values together. But if we make the
+ operator to add two objects together when the operator is called an
overloaded operator.

PH:22820846
C++ IDE (Integrated development environment) structure of C++

program.
The program is stared with # include files the file form the
library can be used with help off # include structure .
The c out & c in is used in the C++ program. Consider once
statement of program.
# include <iostream.h>
void main ( )
{
char str[40]
int M1, M2, M3, avg;
cout << “Enter your name.”;
cin >> std;
cout << “Enter marks of three subjects”;
cin >> M1+M2+ M3;
avg = M1+M2+ M3/3;
cout << “Your name is”<<std;
cout << “ You Average marks are”<<avg;
}
 The identifier c out:-
The c out is actually then object it is predefined to the standard

out put stream a stream is on abstraction that refers to a flow of data it is
used for screen display.
The operator << is called us insertion or to operator it is used for
display of statement. The syntax of c out is a s follows.
Syntax:-
cout << “Enter your name”;
The identifier C is it is also as object predefined in C++ it is

related with standard input stream. It represents data coming from the
keyboard the >> is extraction or get operated.
The syntax of cin is as follows.
Syntax:-
cin >> M1>>M2>>M3;
It is word as like scanf function in C programming language.
 Void Pointer:-
The word void can be used to define a pointer. The C++

handles the assignment of void pointer with main keyword.

PH:22820846
1) Comment :- as like C C++ supports two types comment the

comment like with in the /*--*/ structure is ignored by the
compiler.
2) C++ supports the // notation.
avg = M1+M2+M3/3; /* calculate avg*/
avg = M1+M2+M3/3; // calculate avg
 Looping Structure of C++ :-
 Loops :-
The loop is a program which checks how many types to cycle

around the programming for true & false results.
Loops make decision on values that can be either true or false.
There are three type of looping structure C & C++ which helps
programmer to execute the program and expected type of circulation or
cycles the looping structure help us or repetitive work & save our time
& length of program.
The loops are as follows.
1) While loop.
2) For loop.
3) Do loop.
1) While Loop:-
A while loop help us to show the conditional statement.

For e.g. A while loop ask to user to enter a character. It continues the
cycle until the user enters the characters .
Syntax :-
While (Char !=x)
{
Body of loop cout << “Enter any character”;
cin >> ch;
}

PH:22820846
The while consists of the keyword while following by a

condition enclosed in parenthesis ( ). The body of loop is enclosed by
curley bracket { }.
(braces)
False
Go back to Condition Exit
while loop
revaluate
True
Execute statement
while looping Statement.
2) Do Loop :-
The do loop is also called as do while loop. This

loop is used when we always want to do one time the syntax for do
while loop is as follows.
do
{
cout << “Enter any character”;
cin >> ch;
cout << L-nd/n;
}
while (ch !=x)
Execute Statement
Loop
False
Exist while
Condition
loop
Go back to
revaluate
PH:22820846
Do-While looping Statement.
The Do loop is only loop that is end with semicolon the semicolon is
necessary because of the condition follows the loop a body so the
closing brace of the loop can not act end line for the entire loop.
3) For Loop :-
In while & do loops we don't know how many

time the loop will be executed. the condition that terminate the loop
arises continuously inside the loop if can't be happened in case of for
loop.
The for loop will be executed usually started at the
beginning of loop. The parenthesis followed by the keyword . For
contains three different parts of for loop separated by a semicolon. The
variable inside the loop is known as loop variable expressions of for
loop are
1) The instillation which usually to initialize value of loop variable.
2) The text expression, which usually checks the value of loop variable
to see whether the cycle again or exit from the loop.
3) The increment or decrement expression which usually, increment &

decrement the value of loop variable for
e.g. for (i=0; i<20; i++)
1) Initialization expression.
2) Test expression.
3) Increment / Decrement expression .
for e.g.
for (i=1; i<=20; ++i)
cout << "*";
int k , total = 0;
for (i=0; i<10; ++i)
{
total = total + i ;
cout = total ;
}

PH:22820846
 Decision Loop :-
i) If Statement :-
The simple way make a decision in C & C++ is

the if statement. The if Statement helps us to execute out desired
statement automatically the syntax of if Statement is as follows .
{
If (Door = "open")
cout << "Enter in class";
}
ii) If------else statement :-
The If----- else statement helps us to show the

statement when it is true & simultaneously it also shows false statement
the syntax. For if else statement is as follows.
If (marks>35)
{
cout << "Result = Pass";
else
cout << "Result = Fail";
}
iii) Nested if -----else statement :-
We can use if else statement more than

one time as per our requirement
If (Marathi>35)
{
cout << "Result = Pass";
else
If (Hindi>35)
cout << "Pass";
else
{
If (Phy>35)
cout << "Pass";
else
{
cout << "Result = Fail ";
}
}

UNIX
 UNIX COMMAND:-
UNIX is operating system software used for oxidation of

application software the UNIX operating system, is easy to use, due to
its features the UNIX operating system is developed at 'A & T bell'
laborites. In 1971 by Stive Barned. The UNIX operating system is a
multi-user operating system it can be access or Run by the new user also
system.
 Components of Unix Operating System:-
UNIX operating system is classified into following components

depending on its function of consist of
1) Kernal
2) Shell
3) Unix tools & application.
1) Kernal:-
The Kernal is a care or operating system program it performs all

the low level jobs which is necessary to control al the task & hardware
devices all operating system have a kernal which is carried by kernal for
flash operating of the system. The kernal is used for operating of Utility
or application on software tools. The kernal interface with the help of
system call is call to an operating system operating this cell can be made
in C or assembly language program. The system calls are the basic
building blocks upon which UNIX commands are based.
2) Shell:-
It is the command interpreter it is the command operating system

it accepts command from user the $ prompt any lise these commands the
shell short exciting the exactable feel & ten request to kernal to carry

PH:22820846
out the data transfer which finally gives output hence the shell. Act as
middle man between kernal & User operating system.
3) Unix tools & application:-
The outer most layer of Unix operating system is it's tools &
applications some versions of UNIX are having more than four hundred
tools these tools can be involved from the command line & helps to
perform complex task of te system tools consist many applications
programs which may be purses speciously such as electronic spread
sheet sophisticated word processing package.
 General Commands used in UNIX:-
The appearance of a $ prompt display command in UNIX

command. Type of C prompt. Result in command to get their are some
general commands used in UNIX.
1) $ Date:-
This command tells Unix system to print system date & time
every Unix command must be ended with Return the inform system that
user has finish typing $who.
2) $ Who:-
This command gives information about. The all users who are currently
logged on the system.
System: - $ Who
3) $ Who am I:-
This command used to get inforation about the user who is setting or
currently logged on the system
Syntax: - $ who am I
e.g. :- $ who am I
4) Echo:-

PH:22820846
This is very simple & straight forward command it displays on the

screen. What ever the type after the command echo.
Syntax:- $ echo I am student of COPA

I am student of COPA
5) $ ps (prace ss status) :-
The ps command makes process status Report the process. Status Report
is as line this.
Report is as line this
P/D TTY Time Command

2345 12 2:15 SW
2378 12 6:01 DS
The first column process identification number each time kernal assign
a unique p1 the sh is shell oph is processed status or other input device
which we are using & time command displays time which is used for
processing.
Syntax:- $ ps.
6) $ Clear:-
This command will clear the screen & view make true of command
press of word & tress new known name trace of the command directory
commands.
PWD :- (Print working directory):-
The command PWD tells us what directory we are $ PWD.
This command returns the path of currents directly within the root
directory their is a sub directory known as USR , within which there is
another directory it is known as user.
7) MKDIR :- (Create directory name)
To create a directory UNIX provides a mkdir command.
Syntax: - $ MKDIR DIR name

$ MKDIR ABC
8) RMDIR :- (Remove directory name)

PH:22820846
The command is used to remove the directory at the shell prompt

type the command.
Syntax: - $ Rmdir
e.g.:- $ Rmdir ABC
9) CD :- (Change directory name)
When a users create a directory we would like to change the

directory .
Syntax: - $ CD Dir name

e.g.:- $ CD ABC
 Basic File Command:-
1) LS :- ( list the file)
The command is list the file in the directory. The command LS

with no argument list the contents of ever current directory.
Syntax: - $ LS
Example: - $ LS
The LS command is used with same parameters.
LS - I: - Optional first line.

LS - D: - Directory.
LS --:- Ordinary
2) Cat :- (Create File):-
This command creates file on the system. The syntax or this is
Syntax: - $ Cat > First file name

I am student Comp.sci
Ctrl + D
In this Ctrl + D is used to store the file.
3) Rm (Remove file):-
This command is used to delete or remove the file on system.
Syntax: - $ Rm file name

e.g.:- $ Rm ABC

PH:22820846
4) CP (Copy):-
The command is used to make a copy the file in this first

argument file copied into second argument.
Syntax: - $ CP (Source-target)
e.g.:- CP ABC XYZ
5) MV :- (Method Vehicle)
The command is used to change the name of file the first name is
ole name & second name is new name after the command prompt.
Syntax : - $ my first file name (second file)

e.g.:- $ my XYZ CBZ
6) Chmod :- (Change mode of access)
This command changes made of indicated file & directory. The

file made is read write & executed permission separately for the each
class of user tat is user
Syntax: - $ chmod 777 ABC

PH:22820846
 UNIX EDITOR:-
The UNIX editor is an important part of the system it helps to

create & modify to user files & data there are two text editors available
under the UNIX operating system. Te two text editor are vied.
VI - it is stand for visual & c

Ed - it is stands for simple editor.
The VI editor can be access in three ways this are shown below.
i) Vi - it edits & empty editing buffer.
ii) Viname - it edits & file with specified file name
iii) Vi+3 name: - it opens file with a specified name and goes third line
idefine
iv) vi+/bye name: - it searches for the first occurrence of bye in the file
commands used with other users.

DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
 Database Environment:-
Information is very important in any business or organization it

is required to manage this information it is required to manage this
information as per our requirement the information is useful when it is
accurate & available as on when required by the user. This can be occur
only if an organization organizes & manages it's data properly data base
is shared collection of logically related data & designed to fulfill the
information needs of an organization data is the Row material from
which useful information is required.
 Data:-
Data is the Row material from which use full information is

received data is commonly used in both similar & plural form it is
defined as row facts of organization on fact or observation typical
phenomenal.
 Information:-
The data which is converted into useful & meaningful form is

known as information. The data & information are used i9nterchange
the data are Row material resources that are processed into information
products information product can be defined as data has been converted
into meaningful & useful form for the end user information is processed
data placed in a way that gives value for specific and user.

PH:22820846
SEARCHING TECHNIQUES
Following techniques are used to search particular record satisfying
certain condition from the DBF.
1) Locate
2) Seek
3) Filter
LOCATE FOR CITY = "A'BAD"
It returns you the rec.no. having city "A'BAD" i.e. it will search for that
field. This command is used to search and unindexed single record.
LOCATE must have FOR - Clause.
The basic way of using the LOCATE dialogue box is by checking the
FOR check box & then in the expression builder, enter the logical
expectation you will be using as the criterion for the search LOCATE
FOR will begin it's search with the first rec. & read it sequentially until
it finds the matching record. It moves the record pointer to that record.
If you want to search the next rec. that matches the criterion then give
CONTINUE command after LOCATE command.
 CONTINUE:-
The search for locate command can be continue using continue

command. If there are more than one record that matches with the
condition mentioned in locate command then this command will move
the pointer to next matching command.
Syntax: - CONTINUE

PH:22820846
 SEEK:-
To search for a single record based on controlling index, use the

seek command.
INDEX ON City to CC
SEEK "A'bad"
DISPLAY
INDEX ON Salary to S
SEEK 5000
DISPLAY
 FILTER:-
It extracts the records satisfying condition fro the DBF.
Syntax: - SET FILTER to <exp>

E.g.:- Set Filter to City = "PUNE"
 REPLACE:-
This command is used for change the contents of one field or

more fields. We can change data of one record or all records.
Expression may be any name i.e. "ACCOUNT", value i.e. 100 or

formula
i.e. SUB1+SUB2+SUB3 etc.
e.g.:- 1) Replace City with "Bombay"

2) Replace Salary with 1500
3) Replace Salary with (400+800)
 REPLACE ALL:-
It will replace all the record in the specified feld with the new
expression in a entire DBF.
Syntax: - REPLACE ALL <Field Name> WITH <new expressions>

e.g.:- Replace All Salary With 1500
e.g.:- Replace All Netsal with (Basic + Da + Hra - Lic -Pf)

PH:22820846
FILE HANDLING COMMANDS
 DELETE FILE:-
This command is used to delete a file from the disk.
Syntax: - DELETE FILE <File Name>

e.g.:- Delete File ABC.DBF
The file to be deleted must be closed.
 COPY TO:-
This command is used to copy the contents of currently opened

dbf in a new file.
Syntax: - COPY TO <New File Name>

e.g.:- Copy To ABC
This command is used only with DBF the new file will have the
extension DBF.
 COPY STRUCTURE:-
This command is used to copy the structure only of currently

opened DBF file to new file.
Syntax: - COPY STRUCTURE TO <New File Name>

e.g.:- Copy Structure to PRAKASH
The new file will have the extension .DBF
 COPY FILE:-
This command is used to copy the contents of any file into a new
file.
This is similar with copy command in DOS.
Syntax: - COPY FILE <File Name with Extension >

To <Target File Name with Extension>
e.g.:- Copy File ABC.Prg To XYZ.Prg
 RENAME:-
This command is used to change the name of any file.

PH:22820846
Syntax: - RENAME <Old File Name with Extension>

To <New File Name with Extension>
e.g.:- Rename ABC.DBF to ACTIVE.DBF
This is similar command to ren command in the DOS.
 SORT:-
To arrange the data in proper physical order is called as Sorting.

We can sort the data in ascending or descending order in case of
numeric field and alphabetically ascending or descending in case of
character field.
Syntax: - SORT ON <FIELD NAME> to <NEW FILE NAME>

e.g.:- SORT ON NAME TO STUDENT
New file created is a database file. Here the sorted record will be in file
student. To see those records, you will have to use that file i.e. student
and then give LIST command. The sort command will sort the data
which was randomly entered.
You can sort the file on multiple fields also.
Syntax 2:- SORT ON <Field Name 1, Field Name 2>

To <New File Name>
e.g.:- Sort on salary, name to emp12
In this case the first field is primary field.
You can open the sorted field files using "Use" command.

PH:22820846
SORTING & INDEXING

 SORTING:-
This command allows you to sort entered data in alphanumeric

order. It gives the ability of copy records & structure of a database to
another database file arranged in alphabetical, numerical or
alphanumerical orders. The SORT is done on one or more fields within
the active database. You can specify also whether the SORT should be
in ascending or descending order.
You can sort the file on multiple fields also. When entries in the first
KEY field are same then second key field determines the order.
To sort the dbf that database file should be opened first.
USE Trial
Sort on name to sortum - Single filed sorting

Sort on name, city to city - Multiple field sorting
Here name is primary & city is secondary KEY Field for sorting the
database file TRIAL, CITY.DBF gets created. To see the Sorted records.
We should open sorted file.
USE CITY.
BROWSE. : OR: LIST
INTRODUCTION TO INDEX
One of the main advantages of having computerized database is that the

data can be retrieved & processed very quickly. Database can be
organized efficiently. An INDEX is one way of organizing a database in
order to retrieve relevant information.
Indexing means arranging the records into ascending or descending

order. This is a logical arrangement of data. Original dbf is not affected
after indexing.
Database file can be INDEXED on particular key fields to organize the

data.
For example, if you want names of employess in alphabetical order, the

file can be indexed on the field which contains the employee name. Here

PH:22820846
the field containing the name of the employee would be called the KEY
field.
FoxPro supports two types of Index.
1) Simple Index.
2) Compound Index.
In simple index file, the FoxPro creates a separate index file for each
KEY Field.
This index file will have the extension .IDX. The index file will contain
information about the KEY fields & the location of data in the database.
When the database file is opened using the USE command, the
corresponding index file will also have to be opened.
Any addition or modification to the data in DBF would also be updated

in the index file However, if the index file is not explicitly opened, the
updation will not take place in the index file.
To open a dbf along with index file command is
USE EMPDATA INDEX EMP <Enter>

PH:22820846
 STEPS IN CREATING SIMPLE INDEX FILE:-
1) Before creating an index file, the database file has to be in USE.

For Ex. Let us use the file EMPDATA & we want to index that file
using EMPNAME AS key field, then give command.
USE EMPDATA <enter>
2) To index EMPDATA.DBF
We select file menu & select NEW from the sub-options. The new
dialog box will displayed.
3) Select index file radio button. The INDEX dialog box appears. This
dialog box allows you to create the index file.
4) You can select field (s) to be used as the key field from the FIEED
list box. As the fields are selected they appear in the INDEX KEY list
on the right.
The file can be indexed in ASCENDING or DESCENDING order of the

key fields.
Indexes can also be UNIQUE, which means no two records in the

database file will have the same value.
5) Choose the type of index file a compound or a single index file.
6) Now select [ok] push-button to create the index file.
Another way of indexing a file is to use the INDEX command. The

INDEX command can be entered through the COMMAND WINDOW
Syntax: - INDEX ON <Field exp> To <COMPACT file name>
[FOR <exp>] [ASCENDING/ DESCENDING] [UNIQUE]
The Options for the INDEX ON Command are as follows:-
The for clause make the index include only records for which the logical
expression is true.
The COMPACT option creates a COMPACT file which requires less

memory space. The ASCENDING & DECENDING options allow you
to tell FoxPro whether the file has to be indexed in ascending or
descending order of the KEY. By default the file is indexed in
ASCENDINNG order.

PH:22820846
The UNIQUE option makes the index include only records with unique
values of the key field, i.e. if a file contains more than one record having
the same KEY values then only the first record will be indexed.
E.g. INDEX ON EMPNAME TO EMP <enter>
Note the EMP in the to clause will have extension.IDX & whenever the
database is opened, then the index file must also be opened, otherwise
the index file will not be updated.
To open index file along with the database file, the following command
can be entered from command window.
USE EMPDATA INDEX EMP <enter>
Now display the data using BROWSE Command.
BROWSE
It will show an indexed record list on to the screen.
 EXPRESSIONS IN INDEXES:-
An expression can also be used in the index command. For example, if

we index the file on the KEY field EMPNAME, it may be possible that
the index is not always in alphabetical order, especially if the data
within the field is in both upper & lower cases. To make sure that the
index takes place in the correct order, we can use the function UPPER ()
to force the INDEX command to convert the data in the key field into
upper case before indexing. The command for which is as follows:
INDEX ON UPPER (EMPNAME) TO EMP<enter>
This command will force the index command to convert all the
employee names into upper case before indexing the file.

PH:22820846
 REINDEX A FILE:-
We have seen that s single index file must always be opened along with
the data file, if the changes made in the data file have to be updated in
the index file. However, sometimes this may not get done. This would
result in a mismatch between the data in the index file& the data file.
However this can be corrected by using the REINDEX command. The
REINDEX command reindeers the file on the same key as specified
during the creation of the INDEX file . Note that both the data file as
well as the index file has to be opened
USE EMPDATA INDEX EMP<enter>

REINDEX<ENTER>
The file is now reindeer & the index file is updated. This command is
not necessary if the index file is already updated
 COMPOUND INDEXING:-
Simple indexing is used for indexing on the single field. But for
multiple indexes in compound indexing is used. You can create multiple
index files (.IDX) using simple indexing. Which are crated on different
fields?
In compound indexing, all indexes of different fields are stored in the

same index file with extension (.CDX) under different tag names.
FoxPro itself gives same name as that of database file with extension.
CDX to the indexed file. Means single index file with same name as
database file gets created which store multiple indexes. Under different
tag name
INDEX ON<field name> TAG<Tag name> or <File Name>

e.g. INDEX ON EMPNAME TAG NAME<enter>
.INDEX ON EMPNAME TAG CITY <enter>
Compound index on field EMPNAME which is stored under tag name

NAME. & using second command, we made compound index on field
EMPCITY which is stored under a tag name CITY.
Both indexes are stored in a single file EMPDATA.CDX.
To activate particular index save under certain tag name. Command is
Set Order to<tag name>

E.g. Set Order to NAME <ENTER>
This will activate index tag NAME

PH:22820846
 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SIMPLE INDEX & COMPO0UND

INDENX:-
SIMPLE INDEX COMPOUND INDEX

• This is used for indexing on the single • This is used for multiple field indexing.
field • The file is created with extension. CDX
• The file is created with extension .IDX • All indexes on different fields are stored in
• One index is stored in single index file the same file under different tags.
• User should give the new file name for • FoxPro itself gives the same name with the
index file. extension. CDX. as that of dbf to name the
• Index file should be opened by the index file
user for further use • In this case. CDX File gets likened with
DBF when dbf is opened
 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INDEXING &

SORTING:-
INDEXING SORING
• Organize records logically • Organize records physically.
• Remain record no. unchanged. • Changes original record no.
• Create index file. IDX or .CDX • Created file for sorted records.
• Allow random search also. • Allow sequential search only.
• Require less time to retrieve any • Required more time to retrieve any
record. recode.
• Allow to open index file with dbf file • Cannot open sorted file with db file
• Any changes in dbf will be • Have to resort if any changes made in
automatically updated in index file dbf file.
• Index file requires less memory • Sorted file requires same memory
 DISADVANTAGES OF SORT:-
1. The added data in a DBF will not be sorted automatically

2. Each time it will create a new sorted file which will have extension
DBF and so their is a wastage of space in the memory.
3. This is slow compared to index command.
 ADVANTAGES OF INDEX :-
1. This saves memory space

PH:22820846
2. If you will add the record in the original DBF then it will get sorted
automatically
3. Index command is fast compared to sort you can use the index file
along with DBF using following syntax
Syntax Use<DDF File Name > Index<Index File Name> exg. USE
STUDENT INDEX STD 1
Here STUDEND is name of database file and STD1 is name of index
file. The database file and index file name may be same.
 FIND:-
This command is used to search a record in indexed DBF.
Syntax: - FIND<Character String>

E.g. Find PRAKASH
This command is used to search only character types of data so it is not

necessary to enclose the charter type of data is quotation mark is
command.
 SEEK:-
This command is used to search a record in an index DBF.
Syntax: - SEEK< Expression>

E.g. Seek 3000
This command is used with both Numeric and character type of data.
Here the character types of data must be enclosed in quotes.
E.g. Seek "PRAKASH"

PH:22820846

commands then after the selected field width is complete the cursor will
lcome to next field automatcially if it is off
When you will set the confirm ON the cursor will not come to next line
until you press ENTER. Other wise the last character in the Field will
be upgraded by default it is OFF.
