premium rate and maximum amount for which he/she can be insured.

GROUP D: Basics needed: Repetition (Any two)

13 Calculating the Factorial of a Number
In mathematics, the notation n! represents the factorial of the non negative integer n.
The factorial of n is the product of all the non negative integers from 1 up through n.
For example:
7! = 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6 × 7 = 5,040 and
4! = 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 = 24
Design a program that asks the user to enter a non negative integer and then displays
the factorial of that number.
Average Rainfall :
14 Design a program that uses nested loops to collect data and calculate the average
rainfall over a period of years. The program should first ask for the number of years.
The outer loop will iterate once for each year. The inner loop will iterate twelve
times, once for each month. Each iteration of the inner loop will ask the user for the
inches of rainfall for that month. After all iterations, the program should display the
number of months, the total inches of rainfall, and the average rainfall per month
for the entire period.
15 If a five-digit number is input through the keyboard, write a program to print a new
number by adding one to each of its digits. For example, if the number that is input is
12391 then the output should be displayed as 23402.
GROUP E: Basics needed: Array (Any one)
16 Design a program that asks the user to enter a series of 20 numbers. The program
should store the numbers and then display the following data:
1. The lowest number in the array
2. The highest number in the array
3. The total of the numbers in the array
4. The average of the numbers in the array
17 Rainfall Statistics :
Design a program that lets the user enter the total rainfall for each of 12 months. The
program should calculate and display the total rainfall for the year, the average
monthly rainfall, and the months with the highest and lowest amounts.
18 Design a program that has two parallel arrays: one for storing the names of seven of
your friends, and other for storing the friends’ phone numbers. The program should
allow the user to enter a person’s name (or part of a person’s name). It should then
search for that person in the people array. If the person is found, it should get that
person’s phone number from the phone Numbers array and display it. If the person is
not found in the people array, the program should display a message indicating so. The
program allows you to search for a person’s name in the people array. If the name is
found, it displays that person’s phone number. [optional: Modify the program so it uses
the binary search algorithm instead of the sequential search algorithm.]

GROUP F: Basics needed: Modular Programming (Any one)

19 Calories from Fat and Carbohydrates :
A nutritionist who works for a fitness club helps members by evaluating their diets. As
part of her evaluation, she asks members for the number of fat grams and carbohydrate
grams that they consumed in a day. Then, she calculates the number of calories that
result from the fat, using the following formula:
Calories from Fat = FatGrams × 9

MIT School of Engineering, Pune 4

Department of CSE &IT

Next, she calculates the number of calories that result from the carbohydrates, using
the following formula:
Calories from Carbs = CarbGrams × 4
The nutritionist asks you to design a modular program that will make these
calculations.
20 Fat Gram Calculator :
Design a program that asks for the number of fat grams and calories in a food item.
Validate the input as follows:
▪ Make sure the number of fat grams and calories are not less than 0.
▪ According to nutritional formulas, the number of calories cannot exceed
fatgrams*9. Make sure that the number of calories entered is not greater
than fatgrams*9.
Once correct data has been entered, the program should calculate and display the
percentage of calories that come from fat. Use the following formula:
Percentage of calories from fat = (Fatgrams*9) ÷ Calories
Some nutritionists classify a food as “low fat” if less than 30 percent of its calories
come from fat. If the results of this formula are less than 0.3, the program should
display a message indicating the food is low in fat.

33 Overweight is having extra body weight from muscle, bone, fat, and/or water. Obesity
is having a high amount of extra body fat. Body mass index (BMI) is a useful measure
of overweight and obesity. To calculate BMI, the fitness instructor should first measure
the client’s height in metres and weight in kilogrammes. The client’s weight is then
divided by the client’s height squared.
For example, a client who is 1.8m tall and weighs 80kg:
1.8 x 1.8= 3.24, 80kg ÷ 3.24= 24.7

This result should then be cross-referenced to a BMI table.

 Below 18.5 = underweight
 Between 18.5 and 25= ideal
 Between 25 and 30 = overweight
 From 30 to 35 = category 1 obese
 From 35 to 40 = category 2 obese
 40+ = morbidly obese

1. Calculate the square of the height.

2. Calculate and display the BMI of client.
3. Show the BMI result on the screen with the name of client.
4. Calculate and display the BMI of 05 clients.
5. Find out the obese and ideal client.
34 Resistor circuits that combine series and parallel resistors networks together are
generally known as Resistor Combination or mixed resistor circuits. The method of
calculating the circuits equivalent resistance is the same as that for any individual
series or parallel circuit and hopefully we now know that resistors in series carry the
same current and that resistors in parallel have the same voltage across them.
The formula for calculating equivalent resistance of three resistors is given below:
Series: Rs = R1 + R2 + R3

Parallel: 1/Rp = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 i.e. Rp = (1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3)−1

for example:
The values of R1, R2, and R3 (in Ohm): 3, 4 and 5
Equivalent Resistance (in series): 12 Ohm
Equivalent Resistance (in parallel): 1.2766 Ohm

1. Accept the values of Resistors from user.

2. Calculate Rs and Rp. (Assume all are non-zero numbers)
3. Accept n resistors to calculate equivalent resistance in both cases.
4. Comment on equivalent output for each set of Inputs (Is series better than

parallel, justify and display comment).

5. Display message if equivalent resistance is less than threshold value (hint:
set the threshold value in program).

AIM: Consider user as a student and program as professor, write a program for
introduction of a student. Professor is asking following questions:
1. Welcome to First year engineering.
2. What is your name?
3. Tell me your native place.
4. You are staying in a hostel?
5. Tell me your 12th percentage.
6. Tell me your 10th percentage.

PROBLEM DEFINITION :
To understand the basic structure of a C program.

THEORY:
A C program basically consists of the following parts −
 Preprocessor Commands
 Functions
 Variables
 Statements & Expressions
The first line of the program #include <stdio.h> is a preprocessor command, which tells a C
compiler to include stdio.h file before going to actual compilation.
 The next line int main() is the main function where the program execution begins.

 The next line printf(...) is another function available in C which causes the message to be
displayed on the screen.

 The next line return 0; terminates the main() function and returns the value 0.

AIM: Distance Travelled

Assuming there are no accidents or delays, the distance that a car travels down the
interstate can be calculated with the following formula:
Distance = Speed × Time
A car is traveling at 60 miles per hour. Design a program that displays the following:
1. The distance the car will travel in 5 hours
2. The distance the car will travel in 8 hours
3. The distance the car will travel in 12 hours
PROBLEM DEFINITION:
To explain the working of arithmetic operators.
THEORY:
The programming languages supports various arithmetic operators for all floating-point and integer
numbers. These operators are + (addition), - (subtraction), * (multiplication), / (division), and %
(modulo). The following table summarizes the binary arithmetic operations in the Java
programming language. The binary operators falling in this category are:
Operator Use Description
+ op1 + op2 Adds op1 and op2; also used to concatenate strings
- op1 - op2 Subtracts op2 from op1
* op1 * op2 Multiplies op1 by op2
/ op1 / op2 Divides op1 by op2
% op1 % op2 Computes the remainder of dividing op1 by op2

These operations are commonly called arithmetic operations. Arithmetic is the oldest and most
elementary branch of mathematics. In this and other related lessons we will briefly explain basic
math operations.
The ones falling into the category of unary arithmetic operators are:
 Increment: The ‘++’ operator is used to increment the value of an integer. When placed
before the variable name (also called pre-increment operator), its value is incremented
instantly. For example, ++x. And when it is placed after the variable name (also called post-
increment operator), its value is preserved temporarily until the execution of this statement
and it gets updated before the execution of the next statement. For example, x++.
 Decrement: The ‘–‘ operator is used to decrement the value of an integer. When placed
before the variable name (also called pre-decrement operator), its value is decremented
instantly. For example, –x. And when it is placed after the variable name (also called post-
decrement operator), its value is preserved temporarily until the execution of this statement
and it gets updated before the execution of the next statement. For example, x–.
