[Tutorial 7] 2.Identify the syntactic errors in the following program. Then type in and run the corrected program to ensure you have correctly identified all the mistakes.

#include <stdio.h>

int main (Void)

(

INT sum;

/* COMPUTE RESULT

sum = 25 + 37 – 19

/* DISPLAY RESULTS //

printf ("The answer is %i\n" sum);

return 0;

}

  1. Void should be lowercase void.
  2. Parentheses should be used instead of curly braces for the function body.
  3. INT should be lowercase int.
  4. The calculation statement is missing a semicolon at the end.
  5. The comment delimiter // is incorrect; it should be /* and */.
  6. There is a missing comma , between the string and variable in the printf statement.
Corrected code

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
    int sum;
/* COMPUTE RESULT */
    sum = 25 + 37 - 19;
/* DISPLAY RESULTS */
    printf("The answer is %i\n", sum);
return 0;
}

[Tutorial 6 ] 2. Write a program that prints the following text at the terminal.

i) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * #include <stdio.h> int main( void ) { int row,column; for (row=1;row<=6;row++) { for( column=1;column<=row;column++) { printf( "*" ); } printf( "\n" ); } return 0; } This C program prints a pattern resembling a right triangle with asterisks, where the number of asterisks in each row increases from 1 in the first row to 6 in the last row. It achieves this using nested loops: the outer loop controls the number of rows, and the inner loop determines the number of asterisks to print in each row. After printing the required number of asterisks in each row, a newline character is printed to move to the next row. Thus, the result is a right triangle pattern made of asterisks.

Compilation process in c

Image
   What is a compilation?        C is a programming language that converts source code into object code or machine code. The conversion process has four steps: Pre-processing, Compiling, Assembling, and Linking.      The preprocessor eliminates all the comments from the source code and carries out the preprocessor directives. For instance, it substitutes the directive <stdio.h> with the contents of the 'stdio.h' file.       The following are the phases through which our program passes before being transformed into an executable form:         Preprocessor         Compiler         Assembler         Linker Preprocessor A source code file is a text file that contains instructions written in the C programming language. The file name has a ".c" extension to indicate its format. Before compiling the source code, a preprocessor analyzes and modifies i...
