Programming Fundamentals Past Papers – University

Here, we are showing you a sample of past paper of programming fundamental. If your student of a university and want to get an idea of the paper. Then this is a great sample paper for you.

Programming Fundamentals – Paper 1

Course Code: Confidential	Course Title: Programming Fundamentals
Teacher’s Name: Confidential	Total Marks: 60 (points)
Date & Time: Confidential	Total Time: 2 Hours
Student’s Name:	Reg. No:

Q.1. Write the output of the following segments of codes [6*3=18].

int b[4] = {11,1,2,3};
int* p = b;
*p = *(p+2);
cout << b[0];

int b[4] = {11,1,2,3};

int* p = b;

*p = *(p+2);

cout << b[0];

int a[5];
a[4] = 3;
for (int i=3; i >= 0; i--)
{
a[i] = 2*a[i+1] - i;
cout <<"\n"<< a[i];
}

int a[5];

a[4] = 3;

for (int i=3; i >= 0; i--)

{

a[i] = 2*a[i+1] - i;

cout <<"\n"<< a[i];

}

for (int i=1; i<4; i++)
{
for (int j=1; j<=i; j++)
cout << j << " ";
cout << "\n";
}

for (int i=1; i<4; i++)

{

for (int j=1; j<=i; j++)

cout << j << " ";

cout << "\n";

}

int main( ) 
{ 
increment( ) ; 
increment( ) ; 
increment( ) ; 
} 
void  increment( ) 
{ 
static int i = 1 ; 
cout<< i  ; 
i = i + 1 ; 
}

int main( )

{

increment( ) ;

}

void increment( )

{

static int i = 1 ;

cout<< i ;

i = i + 1 ;

}

int x=2;
int y=3;
cout <<(x>y?x:y);

int x=2;

int y=3;

cout <<(x>y?x:y);

int x = 7;
int y = 3;
cout << x/y << " , " << x%y<<"and"<<++x*y--;

int x = 7;

int y = 3;

cout << x/y << " , " << x%y<<"and"<<++x*y--;

2. Briefly comment each of the following lines of code. The first line is done for you. Make sure you describe the difference between statements. [7]

int x = 2; 
//Creates integer variable named  x and assigns it value 2.
int *p;
p = &x;
*p = 4;
cout << p;.
cout << *p;
int fun(int *, int*);

int x = 2;

//Creates integer variable named x and assigns it value 2.

int *p;

p = &x;

*p = 4;

cout << p;.

cout << *p;

int fun(int *, int*);

Q.3.(10 points) We know that when an array is defined a constant pointer is created which stores the starting address of an array. For example

float arr[6]={10,20,30,40,50,60};

a constant pointer, with the name of ‘arr’, is created as given below:[7]

arrays program in university past paper — **Consider the above diagram and calculate:**
**arr**+3 and *(**arr**+3)
If the type of the above-mentioned array is **an integer** instead of **float** then calculate **arr**+3 and *(**arr**+3)
**Q.4.** Write a function to print the following series where n is input by the user in the main function. The limit should be inputted through the keyboard and will be passed to function as an argument.[7]
**1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5 +…………1/n**
**Q.5**. Write a recursive function to obtain the running sum of the first 100 natural numbers.[7]
**Q.6.** Create a structure named Student to specify data on students given below: [7]
Roll number, Name, Department, Course, Year of joining
Assume that there are not more than 450 students in the college.
(a) Write a function to print names of all students who joined in a particular year.
(b) Write a function to print the data of a student whose roll number is given.
**Q.7**. Differentiate the following:[2×4=8]
a) **Actual** Parameters and **Formal** Parameters
b) Parameter passing by **value** and by **the pointer**
