    Study Notes

    C Programming Exercises

    • Sum of Odd and Even Numbers:
      • A C program prompts the user to enter 10 numbers.
      • It calculates and displays the sum of even and odd numbers separately.
    • Multidimensional Matrix:
      • A C program takes the number of rows and columns of a matrix from the user's input.
      • It then prompts the user for each element of the matrix, storing it in a 2D array.
      • The program calculates and displays the sum of all elements within the matrix.
    • Swap First Three Elements:
      • A C program takes a 10-element array as input from the user.
      • It swaps the first three elements with the last three elements of the array.
      • The updated array is then displayed.
    • Matrix Transpose:
      • A program takes a 2x3 matrix from the user.
      • It displays the same matrix.
      • The transpose (rows become columns and columns become rows) of the matrix is calculated.
      • The transpose matrix is displayed.

    Functions in Maths

    • Function Notation:
      • A function is represented using symbols that show the relationship between an input (independent variable) and an output (dependent variable).
      • f(x) = ax+b is a function Notation.
      • F(x, y) = 3x² - 4xy + 5y² is a function of two variables, or a function in two dimensions.
    • Evaluating Functions:
      • Substitute the value(s) for the independent variable into the function to compute the output (dependent variable).

    Functions in C

    • Function Definition:
      • A function is defined by stating its return type, name, and parameters.
      • The function body contains the statements to be executed.
      • A function is concluded by a return statement.
    • Function Declaration:
      • A function declaration is a prototype that lets the compiler know the return type, name, and arguments of the function.
      • This allows code that calls the function to be compiled without the function body being completely defined at that point.
    • Use of Functions:
      • Functions provide reusability and reduce code redundancy, thereby making code more organized and easier to maintain.

    Factorial Calculation

    • Factorial Formula:
      • Factorial of a non-negative integer n, denoted by n!, is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to n.
      • n! = n × (n − 1) × (n − 2) × ... × 1
      • 1! = 1
    • Calculating Factorials using For Loop:
      • A loop iterates from 1 up to the input number n.
      • factorial is repeatedly multiplied by each loop counter value ( i).
    • Calculating Factorials using While Loop:
      • A loop continues as long as i is less than or equal to the input number n.
      • factorial is repeatedly multiplied by each loop counter value (i) within the loop body.
    • Calculating Factorials using Functions:
      • A function is defined separately to calculate the factorial of a number.
      • This function is then called from the main program using an appropriate parameter.

    Other C Programming Topics

    • Largest Element in Array:
      • A program takes the size of an array and its elements as input.
      • A function finds the largest element in the array.
      • The largest element is displayed.
    • Counting Letters in Text:
      • A program reads a text from the user.
      • The program then calculates the number of occurrences of the letter 'a' (or 'A').
    • Counting Vowels in Text:
      • A function counts the number of vowels (a, e, i, o, u) in a string (user input).
    • Counting Spaces:
      • A function calculates the number of spaces in a given string.
      • The program takes user input (string).
      • It calls the function to get the space count.
