1.
What will be the values for argc and argv[] when the input “ run with my
values” is passed as command line arguments?
When "run with my values" is passed as command-line arguments, argc will
be 2 and argv[] will contain the strings "run", and "with my values".
2. Write about different error handling functions on files.
Function Purpose
fopen() Opens a file, returns NULL on error
perror() Prints error message based on errno
strerror() Returns string describing errno
feof() Checks for end-of-file
ferror() Checks for file operation errors
clearerr() Clears file error and EOF flags
3. Describe the prototype of the function fopen().
FILE *fopen(const char *filename, const char *mode);
4. Write a C program to get name and marks of n number of students from
user and store them in a file.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main() {
FILE *fp;
char name[50];
int marks, n;
// Open file in write mode
fp = fopen("students.txt", "w");
if (fp == NULL) {
perror("Error opening file");
return 1;
}
// Ask for number of students
printf("Enter the number of students: ");
scanf("%d", &n);
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
printf("\nStudent %d\n", i + 1);
printf("Enter name: ");
scanf(" %[^\n]", name); // to allow spaces in name
printf("Enter marks: ");
scanf("%d", &marks);
// Write to file
fprintf(fp, "Name: %s\tMarks: %d\n", name, marks);
}
fclose(fp);
printf("\nStudent data written to students.txt successfully.\n");
return 0;
}
Output:
Enter the number of students: 2
Student 1
Enter name: Alice Johnson
Enter marks: 85
Student 2
Enter name: Bob Smith
Enter marks: 90
Student data written to students.txt successfully.
5. Outline the logic to swap the contents of two identifiers without using third
variable.
To swap the contents of two identifiers without using a third variable, we can
employ various methods like addition and subtraction, multiplication and
division, or the XOR operation.
// Let a = 5 and b = 10
// Step 1: a = a + b; (a becomes 15)
a = a + b;
// Step 2: b = a - b; (b becomes 5)
b = a - b;
// Step 3: a = a - b; (a becomes 10)
a = a - b;
// a now holds 10, and b now holds 5
6. Analyze different ways to manipulate strings in python.
Concatenation
Repetition
Indexing
Slicing
Splitting
Joining
7. Point Out the rules to be followed for naming any identifier.
Can contain letters, digits, and underscores
Cannot start with a digit
No special characters allowed
Cannot use keywords
Case-sensitive
8. State about logical operators available in python language with example.
In Python, Logical operators are used on conditional statements (either True or
False). They perform Logical AND, Logical OR, and Logical NOT operations.
Operator Description Syntax Example
Returns True if both
and x and y x>7 and x>10
the operands are true
Returns True if either
or x or y x<7 or x>15
of the operands is true
Returns True if the not(x>7 and
not not x
operand is false x> 10)
9. Give the various data types in Python.
Text Type: str
Numeric Types: int, float, complex
Sequence Types: list, tuple, range
Mapping Type: dict
Boolean Type: bool

Create a C Program to manage student records stored in a binary file.
Each student record contains roll no, name and mark. The program
should add a new student record, display all student records and search
for a student by roll number using random file access.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define FILENAME "students.dat"
struct Student {
int roll_no;
char name[50];
float marks;
};
// Function to add a new student
void addStudent() {
FILE *fp = fopen(FILENAME, "ab"); // append in binary mode
if (fp == NULL) {
perror("Error opening file");
return;
}
struct Student s;
printf("Enter Roll Number: ");
scanf("%d", &s.roll_no);
printf("Enter Name: ");
scanf(" %[^\n]", s.name); // read with spaces
printf("Enter Marks: ");
scanf("%f", &s.marks);
fwrite(&s, sizeof(struct Student), 1, fp);
fclose(fp);
printf("Student added successfully!\n");
}
// Function to display all students
void displayStudents() {
FILE *fp = fopen(FILENAME, "rb");
if (fp == NULL) {
perror("Error opening file");
return;
}
struct Student s;
printf("\n--- All Student Records ---\n");
while (fread(&s, sizeof(struct Student), 1, fp)) {
printf("Roll No: %d | Name: %s | Marks: %.2f\n", s.roll_no, s.name,
s.marks);
}
fclose(fp);
}
// Function to search a student by roll number
void searchByRollNo() {
int target_roll;
int found = 0;
printf("Enter roll number to search: ");
scanf("%d", &target_roll);
FILE *fp = fopen(FILENAME, "rb");
if (fp == NULL) {
perror("Error opening file");
return;
}
struct Students;
// Read each record and compare
while (fread(&s, sizeof(struct Student), 1, fp)) {
if (s.roll_no == target_roll) {
printf("Record Found!\nRoll No: %d\nName: %s\nMarks: %.2f\n",
s.roll_no, s.name, s.marks);
found = 1;
break;
}
}
if (!found) {
printf("Student with Roll No %d not found.\n", target_roll);
}
fclose(fp);
}
// Menu-driven main function
int main() {
int choice;
do {
printf("\n--- Student Record ---\n");
printf("1. Add Student\n");
printf("2. Display All Students\n");
printf("3. Search by Roll Number\n");
printf("0. Exit\n");
printf("Enter choice: ");
scanf("%d", &choice);
switch(choice) {
case 1: addStudent(); break;
case 2: displayStudents(); break;
case 3: searchByRollNo(); break;
case 0: printf("Exiting...\n"); break;
default: printf("Invalid choice! Try again.\n");
}
} while (choice != 0);
return 0;

else:
print("The word 'open' is not present in the string.")
Sketch the structures of interpreter and complier. Detail the differences
between them. Write a python program to accept two numbers multiply
them and print the result.
Feature Compiler Interpreter
Translation Method Translates entire program Translates line by line
Slower (interpreted at
Execution Speed Faster (after compilation)
runtime)
Error Handling Shows all errors after compiling Stops at the first error
Generates a separate machine Does not produce separate
Output
code file
Language Examples C, C++, Java (compiled) Python, JavaScript, PHP
Memory Usage More (stores compiled code) Less
Modification Less convenient (recompile Easy to test changes
Convenience needed) immediately
Python program to accept two numbers multiply them and print the result.
# Accept two numbers from the user
num1 = float(input("Enter first number: "))
num2 = float(input("Enter second number: "))
# Multiply the numbers
result = num1 * num2
# Display the result
print(f"The result of multiplication is: {result}")
Output:
Enter first number: 5
Enter second number: 3
The result of multiplication is: 15.0

Write a c Program that uses conditional compilation directives. The
program should take customer type as input(R, C or I), take number of
units consumed and calculate and display the bill.
Billing Rules:
Residential (R)
First 100 units:Rs 1.5/unit
Next 200 units:Rs2.5/unit
Above 300 units:Rs3.5/unit
Commercial(c)
Flat Rs5/unit for all consumption
Industrial(I)
First 500 units:Rs 4/unit
Above 500 units:Rs 6/unit
PROGRAM:
#include <stdio.h>
// Define customer types
#define RESIDENTIAL
// #define COMMERCIAL
// #define INDUSTRIAL
int main() {
char type;
int units;
float bill = 0;
// Take customer type and units as input
printf("Enter Customer Type (R = Residential, C = Commercial, I =
Industrial): ");
scanf(" %c", &type);
printf("Enter number of units consumed: ");
scanf("%d", &units);
// Convert to uppercase for simplicity
if (type >= 'a' && type <= 'z') {
type = type - 32;
}
// Calculate bill based on customer type
#ifdef RESIDENTIAL
if (type == 'R') {
if (units <= 100)
bill = units * 1.5;
else if (units <= 300)
bill = 100 * 1.5 + (units - 100) * 2.5;
else
bill = 100 * 1.5 + 200 * 2.5 + (units - 300) * 3.5;
}
#endif
#ifdef COMMERCIAL
if (type == 'C') {
bill = units * 5.0;
}
#endif
#ifdef INDUSTRIAL
if (type == 'I') {
if (units <= 500)
bill = units * 4.0;
else
bill = 500 * 4.0 + (units - 500) * 6.0;
}
#endif
// Display the bill
if (bill > 0)
printf("Total bill for %c customer: Rs %.2f\n", type, bill);
else
printf("Invalid customer type or data.\n");
return 0;
}
Output:
Enter Customer Type (R = Residential, C = Commercial, I = Industrial): R
Enter number of units consumed: 350
Total bill for R customer: Rs 775.00
