add digits of number in c
C program to add digits of a number: Here we are using modulus operator(%) to extract
individual digits of number and adding them.
C programming code
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
int n, sum = 0, remainder;
printf("Enter an integer\n");
scanf("%d",&n);
while(n != 0)
{
remainder = n % 10;
sum = sum + remainder;
n = n / 10;
}
printf("Sum of digits of entered number = %d\n",sum);
return 0;
}
Common C Programs
Raghudathesh G P Asst Prof GMIT DVG Page 3
For example if the input is 98, sum(variable) is 0 initially
98%10 = 8 (% is modulus operator which gives us remainder when 98 is divided by 10).
sum = sum + remainder
so sum = 8 now.
98/10 = 9 because in c whenever we divide integer by another integer we get an integer.
9%10 = 9
sum = 8(previous value) + 9
sum = 17
9/10 = 0.
So finally n = 0, loop ends we get the required sum.
Factorial program in c
Factorial program in c: c code to find and print factorial of a number, three methods are
given, first one uses a for loop, second uses a function to find factorial and third using
recursion. Factorial is represented using !, so five factorial will be written as 5!, n factorial as
n!. Also
n! = n*(n-1)*(n-2)*(n-3)...3.2.1 and zero factorial is defined as one i.e. 0!=1.
Factorial program in c using for loop
: Here we find factorial using for loop.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
main()
{
int c, n, fact = 1;
printf("Enter a number to calculate it's factorial\n");
scanf("%d",&n);
for( c = 1 ; c <= n ; c++ )
fact = fact*c;
printf("Factorial of %d = %d\n",n,fact);

Decimal to binary conversion
C program to convert decimal to binary: c language code to convert an integer from decimal
number system(base-10) to binary number system(base-2). Size of integer is assumed to be
32 bits. We use bitwise operators to perform the desired task. We right shift the original
number by 31, 30, 29, ..., 1, 0 bits using a loop and bitwise AND the number obtained with
1(one), if the result is 1 then that bit is 1 otherwise it is 0(zero).
C programming code
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int n, c, k;
printf("Enter an integer in decimal number system\n");
scanf("%d", &n);
printf("%d in binary number system is:\n", n);
for (c = 31; c >= 0; c--)
{
k = n >> c;
if (k & 1)
printf("1");
else
printf("0");
}
printf("\n");

return 0;
}
Above code only prints binary of integer, but we may wish to perform operations on binary
so in the code below we are storing the binary in a string. We create a function which returns
a pointer to string which is the binary of the number passed as argument to the function.
C code to store decimal to binary conversion in a string
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
char *decimal_to_binary(int);
main()
{
int n, c, k;
char *pointer;
printf("Enter an integer in decimal number system\n");
scanf("%d",&n);
pointer = decimal_to_binary(n);
printf("Binary string of %d is: %s\n", n, t);
free(pointer);
return 0;
}
char *decimal_to_binary(int n)
{
int c, d, count;
char *pointer;
count = 0;
pointer = (char*)malloc(32+1);
if ( pointer == NULL )
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
for ( c = 31 ; c >= 0 ; c-- )
{
d = n >> c;
if ( d & 1 )
*(pointer+count) = 1 + '0';
else
*(pointer+count) = 0 + '0';
count++;

c program to swap two numbers
C program to swap two numbers with and without using third variable, swapping in c using
pointers, functions (Call by reference) and using bitwise XOR operator, swapping means
interchanging. For example if in your c program you have taken two variable a and b where a
= 4 and b = 5, then before swapping a = 4, b = 5 after swapping a = 5, b = 4
In our c program to swap numbers we will use a temp variable to swap two numbers.
Swapping is used in sorting that is when we wish to arrange numbers in a particular order
either in ascending order or in descending order.
Swapping of two numbers in c
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int x, y, temp;
Common C Programs
Raghudathesh G P Asst Prof GMIT DVG Page 11
printf("Enter the value of x and y\n");
scanf("%d%d", &x, &y);
printf("Before Swapping\nx = %d\ny = %d\n",x,y);
temp = x;
x = y;
y = temp;
printf("After Swapping\nx = %d\ny = %d\n",x,y);
return 0;
}
Swapping of two numbers without third variable
You can also swap two numbers without using temp or temporary or third variable. In that
case c program will be as shown :-
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a, b;
printf("Enter two integers to swap\n");
scanf("%d%d", &a, &b);
a = a + b;
b = a - b;
a = a - b;
printf("a = %d\nb = %d\n",a,b);
return 0;
}
To understand above logic simply choose a as 7 and b as 9 and then do what is written in
program. You can choose any other combination of numbers as well. Sometimes it's a good
way to understand a program.
Swap two numbers using pointers
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int x, y, *a, *b, temp;
printf("Enter the value of x and y\n");
scanf("%d%d", &x, &y);
printf("Before Swapping\nx = %d\ny = %d\n", x, y);
a = &x;
b = &y;
Common C Programs
Raghudathesh G P Asst Prof GMIT DVG Page 12
temp = *b;
*b = *a;
*a = temp;
printf("After Swapping\nx = %d\ny = %d\n", x, y);
return 0;
}
Swapping numbers using call by reference
In this method we will make a function to swap numbers.
#include <stdio.h>
void swap(int*, int*);
int main()
{
int x, y;
printf("Enter the value of x and y\n");
scanf("%d%d",&x,&y);
printf("Before Swapping\nx = %d\ny = %d\n", x, y);
swap(&x, &y);
printf("After Swapping\nx = %d\ny = %d\n", x, y);
return 0;
}
void swap(int *a, int *b)
{
int temp;
temp = *b;
*b = *a;
*a = temp;
}
C programming code to swap using bitwise XOR
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int x, y;
scanf("%d%d", &x, &y);
printf("x = %d\ny = %d\n", x, y);
x = x ^ y;
Common C Programs
Raghudathesh G P Asst Prof GMIT DVG Page 13
y = x ^ y;
x = x ^ y;
printf("x = %d\ny = %d\n", x, y);
return 0;
}
c program to reverse a number
C Program to reverse a number :- This program reverse the number entered by the user and
then prints the reversed number on the screen. For example if user enter 123 as input then 321
is printed as output. In our program we use modulus(%) operator to obtain the digits of a
number. To invert number look at it and write it from opposite direction or the output of code
is a number obtained by writing original number from right to left. To reverse large numbers
use long data type or long long data type if your compiler supports it, if you still have large
numbers then use strings or other data structure.
C programming code
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
int n, reverse = 0;
printf("Enter a number to reverse\n");
scanf("%d",&n);
while (n != 0)
{
reverse = reverse * 10;
reverse = reverse + n%10;
n = n/10;
}
printf("Reverse of entered number is = %d\n", reverse);
return 0;
}

Palindrome Numbers
Palindrome number in c: A palindrome number is a number such that if we reverse it, it will
not change. For example some palindrome numbers examples are 121, 212, 12321, -454. To
Common C Programs
Raghudathesh G P Asst Prof GMIT DVG Page 14
check whether a number is palindrome or not first we reverse it and then compare the number
obtained with the original, if both are same then number is palindrome otherwise not. C
program for palindrome number is given below.
Palindrome number algorithm
1. Get the number from user.
2. Reverse it.
3. Compare it with the number entered by the user.
4. If both are same then print palindrome number
5. Else print not a palindrome number.
Palindrome number program c
#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
int n, reverse = 0, temp;
printf("Enter a number to check if it is a palindrome or not\n");
scanf("%d",&n);
temp = n;
while( temp != 0 )
{
reverse = reverse * 10;
reverse = reverse + temp%10;
temp = temp/10;
}
if ( n == reverse )
printf("%d is a palindrome number.\n", n);
else
printf("%d is not a palindrome number.\n", n);
return 0;
}
c program to print patterns of numbers and
stars
These program prints various different patterns of numbers and stars. These codes illustrate
how to create various patterns using c programming. Most of these c programs involve usage
of nested loops and space. A pattern of numbers, star or characters is a way of arranging these
in some logical manner or they may form a sequence. Some of these patterns are triangles
which have special importance in mathematics. Some patterns are symmetrical while other
are not. Please see the complete page and look at comments for many different patterns.

c program for prime number
Prime number program in c: c program for prime number, this code prints prime numbers
using c programming language. To check whether a number is prime or not see another code
below. Prime number logic: a number is prime if it is divisible only by one and itself.
Remember two is the only even and also the smallest prime number. First few prime numbers
are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17....etc. Prime numbers have many applications in computer science
and mathematics. A number greater than one can be factorized into prime numbers, For
example 540 = 22*3
3*5

Prime number program in c language
#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
int n, i = 3, count, c;
printf("Enter the number of prime numbers required\n");
scanf("%d",&n);
if ( n >= 1 )
{
printf("First %d prime numbers are :\n",n);

There are many logic to check prime numbers, one given below is more efficient then above
method.
for ( c = 2 ; c <= (int)sqrt(n) ; c++ )
//only checking from 2 to square root of number is sufficient.
There are many more efficient logic then written above.

This code find maximum or largest element present in an array. It also prints the location or
index at which maximum element occurs in array. This can also be done by using pointers
(see both codes).
C programming code
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int array[100], maximum, size, c, location = 1;
printf("Enter the number of elements in array\n");
scanf("%d", &size);
printf("Enter %d integers\n", size);
for (c = 0; c < size; c++)
scanf("%d", &array[c]);
maximum = array[0];
for (c = 1; c < size; c++)
{
if (array[c] > maximum)
{
maximum = array[c];
location = c+1;
}
}
printf("Maximum element is present at location number %d and it's value
is %d.\n", location, maximum);
return 0;

c program to reverse an array
c program to reverse an array :- This program reverses the array elements. For example if a is
an array of integers with three elements
such that
a[0] = 1
a[1] = 2
a[2] = 3
then on reversing the array will be
a[0] = 3
a[1] = 2
a[0] = 1
Given below is the c code to reverse an array .

c program to insert an element in an array
This code will insert an element into an array, For example consider an array a[10] having
three elements in it initially and a[0] = 1, a[1] = 2 and a[2] = 3 and you want to insert a
number 45 at location 1 i.e. a[0] = 45, so we have to move elements one step below so after
insertion a[1] = 1 which was a[0] initially, and a[2] = 2 and a[3] = 3. Array insertion does not
mean increasing its size i.e array will not be containing 11 elements.
C programming code
#include <stdio.h>

"reverse me" then on reversing the string will be "em esrever". We show you three different
methods to reverse string the first one uses strrev library function of string.h header file and
in second we make our own function to reverse string using pointers, reverse string using

palindrome
C program for palindrome or palindrome in c programming: palindrome program in c
language, c code to check if a string is a palindrome or not and for palindrome number. This
program works as follows :- at first we copy the entered string into a new string, and then we
reverse the new string and then compares it with original string. If both of them have same
sequence of characters i.e. they are identical then the entered string is a palindrome otherwise
not. To perform copy, reverse and compare operations we use strcpy, strrev and strcmp
functions of string.h respectively, if you do not wish to use these functions see c
programming code for palindrome without using string functions. Some palindrome strings
examples are "dad", "radar", "madam" etc.

remove vowels string c
Remove vowels string c: c program to remove or delete vowels from a string, if the input
string is "c programming" then output will be "c prgrmmng". In the program we create a new
string and process entered string character by character, and if a vowel is found it is not added
to new string otherwise the character is added to new string, after the string ends we copy the
new string into original string. Finally we obtain a string without any vowels.
C programming code
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int check_vowel(char);
int main()
{
char s[100], t[100];
int i, j = 0;
printf("Enter a string to delete vowels\n");
gets(s);
for(i = 0; s[i] != '\0'; i++) {

Substring in c programming, c substring
Substring in c programming: c programming code to find a substring from a given string and
for all substrings of a string, For example substrings of string "the" are "t", "th", "the", "h",
"he" and "e" to find substring we create our own c substring function which returns a pointer
to string. String address, length of substring required and position from where to extract
substring are the three arguments passed to function. String.h does not contain any library
function to directly find substring.
C substring code
#include <stdio.h>
#include <malloc.h>
char* substring(char*, int, int);

int position, length;
printf("Enter a string\n");

pointer = substring( string, position, length);
printf("Required substring is \"%s\"\n", pointer);
free(pointer);
return 0;
}
/*C substring function: It returns a pointer to the substring */
char *substring(char *string, int position, int length)
{
char *pointer;
int c;
pointer = malloc(length+1);
if (pointer == NULL)

many times in a string. For example in the string "code" each of the character 'c', 'o', 'd', and
'e' has occurred one time. Only lower case alphabets are considered, other characters (
uppercase and special characters ) are ignored. You can easily modify this program to handle
uppercase and special symbols.

anagram in c
Anagram in c: c program to check whether two strings are anagrams or not, string is assumed
to consist of alphabets only. Two words are said to be anagrams of each other if the letters
from one word can be rearranged to form the other word. From the above definition it is clear
that two strings are anagrams if all characters in both strings occur same number of times. For
example "abc" and "cab" are anagram strings, here every character 'a', 'b' and 'c' occur only
one time in both strings. Our algorithm tries to find how many times characters appears in the
strings and then comparing their corresponding counts.

imaginary parts of complex numbers and prints the complex number, i is the symbol used for
iota. For example if user entered two complex numbers as (1 + 2i) and (4 + 6 i) then output of
program will be (5+8i). A structure is used to store complex number.

C Program to shutdown your computer: This program turn off i.e shutdown your computer
system. Firstly it will asks you to shutdown your computer if you press 'y' the your computer
will shutdown in 30 seconds, system function of "stdlib.h" is used to run an executable file
shutdown.exe which is present in C:\WINDOWS\system32 in Windows XP. You can use
various options while executing shutdown.exe for example -s option shutdown the computer
after 30 seconds, if you wish to shutdown immediately then you can write "shutdown -s -t 0"
as an argument to system function. If you wish to restart your computer then you can write
"shutdown -r".
If you are using Turbo C Compiler then execute your file from folder. Press F9 to build your
executable file from source program. When you run from within the compiler by pressing
Ctrl+F9 it may not work.
