Answer:

void main()

{

char str[20];

char *ptr=str,*temp;

int i=0,j;

clrscr();

scanf("%[^\n]",str);

while(*ptr){

i++;

ptr++;

}

for(j=0;j

            if(*ptr==' ')

            {

                  temp=ptr;ptr--;temp++;

                  while((*temp!=' ')&&(*temp!='\0')) {

                       printf("%c",*temp);

                        temp++;

                  }

                  printf("\n");

            }

            else

            {

                  ptr--;

            }

}

while(*ptr!=' ') {

printf("%c",*ptr);

ptr++;

}

getch();

}

6. I want a C program to check whether a string is a palindrome or not where the string to be checked is passed as command line argument during execution.

Answer:

#include<string.h>

void main(int counter,char**string)

{

char *rev;

char str[15];

int i,j;

clrscr();

strcpy(str,string[1]);

printf("%s",str);

for(i=strlen(str)-1,j=0;i>=0;i--,j++)

rev[j]=str[i];

rev[j]='\0';

if(strcmp(rev,str))

printf("\nThe string is not a palindrome");

else

printf("\nThe string is a palindrome");

getch();

}

7. How to write a c program to display the source code of the program.

Answer:

If source code is available

#include<stdio.h>

void main()

{

   char str[70];

   FILE *p;

   clrscr();

   if((p=fopen("mod.c","r"))==NULL)

   {

      printf("\nUnable t open file string.txt");

      exit(1);

   }

   while(fgets(str,70,p)!=NULL)

          puts(str);

   fclose(p);

   getch();

}

8. Swapping of two number without using third variable

Answer:

void main()

{

int a=5,b=10;

clrscr();

//process one

a=b+a;

b=a-b;

a=a-b;

printf("a= %d  b=  %d",a,b);

//process two

a=5;b=10;

a=a+b-(b=a);

printf("\na= %d  b=  %d",a,b);

//process three

a=5;b=10;

a=a^b;

b=a^b;

a=b^a;

printf("\na= %d  b=  %d",a,b);

//process four

a=5;b=10;

a=b-~a-1;

b=a+~b+1;

a=a+~b+1;

printf("\na= %d  b=  %d",a,b);

//process five

a=5,b=10;

a=b+a,b=a-b,a=a-b;

printf("\na= %d  b=  %d",a,b);

getch();

}

9. How to convert decimal to binary in c program?

Answer

void main()

{

  long int m,no=0,a=1;

  int n,rem;

  clrscr();

  printf("Enter any decimal number->");

  scanf("%d",&n);

  m=n;

  while(n!=0)

  {

          rem=n%2;

          no=no+rem*a;

          n=n/2;

          a=a*10;

  }

  printf("The value %ld in binary is->",m);

  printf("%ld",no);

  getch();

}

  

10. Write a program to accept character and integer n from user and display next n character

Answer:

void main()

{

scanf("%c%d",&c,&n);

for(i=c+1;i<=c+n;i++)

printf("%c ",i);

getch();

}

Output:

insert one character and integer : c 4
