1.a.Write a c program to find a given string is a palindrome or not.

b..Explain in detail about swapping of 2 numbers using Call by Value and Call by reference.

2 a.Use recursive function to calculate factorial of the given number

2.b.Describe structure in detail.Create a structure with filef name,age and phno.Write a c

program to read and print the name,age,phno of a person.

3.a.Design the function void update(int *a,int *b), which reads two integers as argument, and
sets a with the sum of them, and b with the absolute difference of them.

ANSWER:

#include <stdio.h>

void update(int *a,int *b)

int aa = *a; //STORING A VALUE IN A NEW VARIABLE TO FIND THE DIFFERENCE

*a = *a+*b;

*b = aa-*b;

int main()

int a, b;

scanf("%d %d", &a, &b);

update(&a,&b); //CALL BY REFERENCE

printf("%d\n%d", a, b);

return 0;

3.b.Define a function int max_of_four(int a, int b, int c, int d) which reads

four arguments and returns the greatest of them.

ANSWER:
#include <stdio.h>

int max_of_four(int w,int x,int y,int z);

int main()

int a=5;

int b=8;

int c=3;

int d=9;

int v;

v=max_of_four(a,b,c,d);

printf("The maximum number is:%d",v);

return 0;

int max_of_four(int a,int b,int c,int d)

int t1=(a>b)?a:b; //USE CONDITIONAL OPERATOR

int t2=(c>d)?c:d;

return (t1>t2)?t1:t2;

4.a. Given a string, S , consisting of alphabets and digits, write a program to

find the frequency of each digit in the given string.

4.b.Assume a class consisting of 60 students. Maintain a student database, where each

students having details like Roll_Number, name, Average_marks. Create a C program to
perform read and display operations on student database

//USE ARRAY OF STRUCTURE AND TRY

5.a.Write a C program to perform different categories of functions.
5.b.Differentiate structures and union

6.a.Write a C program using Menu driven to perform Swap operation using the following,
i) Call by Value ii) Call by Reference
6.b.Write a C program to find the factorial of the given number using recursive function.

7.a. Create a program that accepts an integer number and a floating point number and print their
addresses and values using pointers.
7.b. Elaborate any four String Manipulations Functions with examples.

8.aBuild a C Program finds the nth Fibonacci numbers using recursion. The first Fibonacci number is
1 and second Fibonacci is also initialized to 1 and print the series.
ANSWER:
#include<stdio.h>
int f(int x);

int main()
{
int n, i = 0, c;

scanf("%d", &n);

printf("Fibonacci series terms are:\n");

for (c = 1; c <= n; c++)

{
printf("%d\n", f(i));
i++;
}

return 0;
}

int f(int x)
{
if (x == 0 || x == 1)
return x;
else
return (f(x-1) + f(x-2));
}

8.b Build a C program to Calculate the sum of digits using the following.
i) Functions without argument and return type
ii) Functions with argument and without return type
