a) Write down any five characteristics of a good programming language.
b) Write an algorithm to sort an array of integer into descending order, where the
size of array is input by user.
c) Explain the process of compiling and running a C program. What is conditional
compilation and how does it help a programmer.

(ii.)Control unit.
(iii.)ALU.
e) Differentiate between the following:
(i.) High level language and low-level language.
(ii.) Compiler and interpreter.

they occupy in memory and keyword used for their representation in writing the
program.
Q 2. Answer any four parts of the following. 5x4=20
a) Write a program in ‘C’ in which values of variables x, y, z is input by user, then
their values are rotated such that x has value of y, y has value of z, z has value of y.

a) Explain what is likely to happen when the following situations are
encountered in a ‘C’ program.
(i.) Actual arguments are less than the formal arguments in a
function.
(ii.) Data type of one of the actual arguments does not match with
the type of the corresponding formal argument.
(iii.) The order of actual parameters in the function call is different
from the order of formal parameters in a function where all
the parameters are of the same type.
(iv.) The type of expression used in return statement does not
match with the type of the function.
b) Write a program in ‘C’ to read a (5x4) matrix using array and to calculate the
following:
(i.) Sum of the elements of the third row of the matrix.
(ii.) Sum of all the elements of the matrix.

recursive function? Write a recursive function to calculate the factorial of a positive
integer.

For example, the word PROBLEM should be written as BELMOPR.
b) What are the pointers. What is a pointer variable? Write the methods of initialization
of pointer variables? How are the pointers useful in ‘C’ programming language.
Explain the difference between const char *p and char const *p.
c) Explain with example the following:
i. Array of pointers
ii. Dynamic memory allocation
a) Define a structure called cricket that will describe the following information:
player name
team name
