7. Analyze and evaluate the expression ((a + b) > (c - d)) * d / L4 CO2
a using a C program. Break down the logic step-by-step and
explain how changes in input values affect the final result.
Support your explanation with appropriate reasoning.
Develop a C program to compute the final sales amount by
8. taking unit price, quantity, discount, and tax rate as inputs. L4 CO2
Analyze the role and impact of each input variable on the
final amount. Decompose the expression flow into parts and
justify how changes in one variable affect the others and the
final output.
9. Analyze the use of the if-else ladder construct in L4 CO2
determining the nature of roots in a quadratic equation of
the form ax² + bx + c = 0, where a ≠ 0. Develop a C
program to implement this logic and explain how changes in
the discriminant influence the outcome. Justify your
reasoning with examples.
10. Analyze the logic used in classifying a triangle based on L4 CO2
side lengths using a switch-case construct in C. Develop a
program that identifies whether a triangle is equilateral,
isosceles, or scalene. Discuss how the triangle inequality
and side comparisons influence the control flow. Also, justify
the necessity of checking for invalid inputs before
classification.

function call with proper syntax and examples.

Explain parameter passing in C with examples. Differentiate
2. between call by value and call by reference. L2 CO3
3. Develop a C Program to generate the Prime numbers L2 CO3
between the ranges m & n using functions. Also, print the
number of prime numbers generated.
4. Design a program in C to compute GCD and LCM of two L3 CO3
numbers with and without using recursion.
5. Explain different types of recursion in C with suitable L3 CO3
examples. Write a program to find the factorial of a number
using a recursive function.
6. What is a storage class in C? List and briefly explain the four L3 CO3
types of storage classes supported in C with respect to
memory location, lifetime, scope, and default initialization.
7. Explain the concept of one-dimensional and two- L3 CO3
dimensional arrays in C. How are arrays declared, initialized,
and accessed? Illustrate with appropriate examples and
explain how arrays are stored in memory.
Develop a C program to accept a matrix of order m x n.
8. Implement the following functions that will compute and L3 CO3
print the same.
a. Find the sum of each row
b. Find the sum of each column
c. Search an element in a matrix
9. Write a C program to read two matrices A (m×n) and B L4 CO3
(p×q) to perform multiplication of two matrices. Analyze and
explain why the number of columns in Matrix A must be
equal to the number of rows in Matrix B for multiplication to
be possible.
10. Develop a C program to read n characters and sort the L4 CO3
characters using Bubble sort technique and reverse the
sorted array and print the same. Analyze the role of
character encoding (like ASCII) in sorting. How does the
internal representation of characters affect the sorting
order?
