C Programming Homework Questions

Question 1: Write a C program to find the sum of the first n natural numbers.

Solution:

#include <stdio.h> int main() int n, sum=0, i; printf("Enter the value of n: "); scanf("%d", &n); for(i=1; i<=n; i++)

{ sum = sum + i; printf("Sum of first %d natural numbers is %d", n, sum); return 0;

Question 2: Write a C program to find the largest element in an array.

Solution:

#include <stdio.h> int main() { int n, i; int arr[100]; int max; printf("Enter the size of array: "); scanf("%d", &n); printf("Enter the elements of the array:\n"); for(i=0; i<n; i++)

{ scanf("%d", &arr[i]);

} max = arr[0]; for(i=1; i<n; i++)

{ if(arr[i] > max) { max = arr[i];

} } printf("Largest element in the array is %d", max); return 0;

Question 3: Write a C program to swap two numbers without using a temporary variable.

Solution:

#include <stdio.h> int main() int a, b; printf("Enter the values of a and b: "); scanf("%d %d", &a, &b); printf("Before swapping, a = %d and b = %d\n", a, b); a = a + b; b = a - b; a = a - b; printf("After swapping, a = %d and b = %d", a, b); return 0;

Question 4: Write a C program to check whether a given number is prime or not.

Solution:

#include <stdio.h> int main()

{ int n, i, flag=0; printf("Enter a positive integer: "); scanf("%d", &n); for(i=2; i<=n/2; i++) { if(n%i == 0) { flag = 1; break; if(n == 1) { printf("1 is neither prime nor composite"); else { if(flag == 0) printf("%d is a prime number", n); else printf("%d is not a prime number", n); return 0;
