EE/APR2011/ECE246

QUESTION 1 Answer as TRUE or FALSE a) Lines beginning with a # are processed by the preprocessor before the program is compiled. In the nested i f e l s e statement, once the condition is met, the rest of the statements are skipped. The following function prototype corresponds with a function that accepts a float as a parameter and returns an integer. int square( int ) ; d) Initializing an integer array called numbers with 5 elements. i n t numbers [ 5 ] = { 2 , 3, 4, e) f) g) h) 5};

b)

c)

Functions are invoked by arguments. Pointers require using a * before each variable declaration. It is an error to use the f o r statement within a w h i l e loop. The following code defines and initializes a double-subscripted array of 4 integers. . i n t b [ 2 ] [ 1 ] = { { 1,4 }, { 3 , 4 } };

i) j)

The index value specifies the position of the element in the array. If p t r is declared as an double, 4 bytes would be copied into that memory location pointed to by p t r . (20 marks)

QUESTION 1 a) Define all data types that are associated with variables. (5 marks) b) Consider the following pseudocode: To test an integer number is a multiple of 2 1. Start 2. Get input read number 3. Check number IF number % 2 == 0 Print "This number is a multiple of 2" ELSE Print "This number is not a multiple of 2" END IF 4. End

Convert the pseudocode to flowchart form. (4 marks)

c) d)

State 3 differences between Recursion and Iteration. (5 marks) Fill in the blanks with a C statement or expression inside each of the following program so that the given output is obtained. i)

Assign the address of variable v a n to pointer variable f P t r . Print the value of the object pointed to by f p t r . Assign the value of the object pointed to by f P t r to variable var2 . Display the address of v a r i . Use the %p conversion specifier. Display the address stored in f P t r . Use the %p conversion specifier. Is the value printed the same as the address of v a r i ? If yes, why? (12 marks)

QUESTION 1 Write a program that use a while loop to print integer values from start to end value. The user has to input the start and end value. For example, if user input start v a l u e = 4 and end v a l u e = 12, the output will be as follows: Input start value: 4 Input end value: 12 Output: 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

(20 marks)

QUESTION 2 Write C program that asks the user to enter his/her age. Use function f i n d c a t e g o r y to determine the category based on the user's age. Refer the following output.

Output: Age Category <2 Baby 2-14 Child 15-21 Teenagers >21 Adult Please enter your age: Your category is Child 7
