Thread: Looking for example C problems...

I am preparing for the final exam(introduction to C) and looking for some example problems that probably i am going to encounter in the exam...i have searched in google but couldn't find much...

thanks in advance...

Hang around/look back on the archive of the C forum. People post homework questions everyday; make your own attempts to code a solution. That gives you practice for the exam. You can find material for just about any subject here

Hi, I'm currently studying at Uni a BICT (bachelors of Information Communication and Technology) and am majoring in software-development. I don't know how far you're in to your studies, but let me offer you some advice.

Typically, there is a single semester to learn the basics of a unit (normally 13 weeks), the only stuff that will appear on an exam is stuff you've covered.

I would strongly recommend focusing only on lecture slides and assignments.

I mention this because your exam will be based on what you’ve covered. C has a lot of aspects to it, it’s doubtful you’ve been taught all the aspects in 13 weeks in a single unit.

The best thing to do, is to look up past exam papers and base what you should learn off that. Normally past exam papers are available through your school library. I’d suggest getting your hands on as many as you can and go through them. highlight the questions you struggle with go back over your unit content to find answers.

Hi fellows..
it is proposed to create a calendar where we have to insert, edit, remove and other random functions that a calendar has.
I am using Codeblocks and have 3 tabs for the project: main.c, calendar.c and calendar.h, and my problem is:
- i have declared global variables on the tab main and I need that variables on the calendar.c so it says that are undeclared;
- if I cut the variables and paste on the calendar.h, the main.c says that I have redeclared because I define the #include "calendar.h" on top of main.c..

any suggestion?

tks

You can find some exercises at Eulers Project website although they are maths+programming problems.

hello laserlight...you seem very experienced on c programming...i am sure you can help me...i am studying from ''c: how to program''...but the exercises in the end of the chapters is not enough...i am really in need of doing more practice to pass the exam which i am going to take next week...can you please direct me to the websites which contain programming problems and its solutions...or do you have your own archive to send me...?

For starters, there are practice problems on the main site here: C/C++ Programming Practice Problems - Cprogramming.com

There are many threads here asking about practice problems - here's one: Where to find practice problems for C
