Programming In C, Rules for specifying a variable name in C Language?

 Topic: Programming In C

Question 1: What are the rules for specifying a variable name in C Language?

Ans: The following are the rules for specifying variable

names in c language.

  • A variable name begins with a letter or underscore (_) and may consists of letters, underscores and or digits.
  • The underscore may be used to improve readability of the variable name. For example over_time.
  • There is no restriction in the length of the variable name. However only 31 characters of a variable are significant.
  • Both upper case and lower letters are allowed in a variable name. e.g: AVG, avg, etc
  • Special characters cannot be used as variable name. e.g: @, ?
  • Reserved words of c language such as int , case, etc cannot be used as variable names.
  • There must be no embedded blank in the name of variable. For example ma ss is not correct.

Chapter # 5, Loop Control Structure Lab Activities Q7. A class of 20 students takes an examination in which marks range from 1 to 100. Write a program to print the number of students passed and failed. Passing marks are 33.   Program: #include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> int main(int) { int n, m, pcount=0, fcount=0; printf(“\nEnter marks of 20 students: “); for(n=1; n<=20; n++) { printf(“\nstudents%d=”,m); scanf(“%d”, &sum); if(m>=33) pcount=pcount + 1; else fcount =fcount +1; } printf(“\nNumber of passed students%d”, pcount); printf(“\nNumber of fail students%d”, fcount); getch(); }   Q8. Write a program that prints a line of 60 asterisks (*) using do while loop. Program: #include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> int main(int) { int n; n=1 do { printf(“ * ”); n=n+1; for(n=1; n<=20; n++) { While(n<=60); getch(); } Output: *************************************** ...
