1. Explain arrays and strings in C. Differentiate between one-dimensional and two
dimensional arrays. Write a program to count vowels, consonants, digits, and
spaces in a string.
2. Explain functions in C with types. Write a program using a user-defined function to
check whether a number is an Armstrong number or not.
3. Write a menu-driven program using structures to manage student records. Each
record should have Roll Number, Name, and Marks in 3 subjects. Perform
operations to add, display, and find the student with the highest total.
4. Explain nested structures in C. Write a program to store and display employee
details using a structure containing another structure for address.
5. Explain compile-time and run-time errors with examples. Write a program to show a
logical error and correct it.
6. Explain switch-case and break statements with flow control. Write a program using
switch-case to check even/odd, find factorial, and exit.
7. Explain arrays of pointers and pointers to arrays with syntax and examples. Write a
program using an array of pointers to store and display multiple strings.
8. Explain the concept of loops and conditional statements in C. Write a program to
count digits in a number and check if it is Palindrome.
9. Explain recursion in detail. Write a recursive function to generate Fibonacci series
up to n terms.
