Principles of Programming Using C Lab Manual for VTU

Prabodh C P1 Comment on Principles of Programming Using C Lab Manual for VTU
MyBlogosphere

The academic syllabus has been changed for the year 2022-23 in VTU. A new subject has been introduced titled “Principles of Programming Using C” (Sub Code: BPOPS103/203) for first year students of VTU. This subject has an integrated lab component. Here I am publishing the first version of the lab manual which has solutions and sample output for all the lab programs. Gradually more documentation and algorithms are planned to be added. Anybody can contribute and re-share this manual as it is distributed under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

All the programs have been compiled using the GNU GCC compiler version 9.4.0 and has been tested on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)  64-bit Kernel Linux 5.15.0-56-generic.

These programs can run on any GNU/Linux Operating system or any other OS with GCC installed.

GCC compiler can be obtained from here. A nice tutorial is provided here to get started with GCC.

If you find the command line difficult to handle and looking for an GUI based IDE to work with, the best choice is Code::Blocks. Code::Blocks uses the GNU GCC compiler collection. Two other good IDEs that you can try or Eclipse and Anjuta. I have provided links to this IDEs below you can click and download the necessary software and instructions to set up a working environment.

  1. Code::Blocks
  2. Anjuta DevStudio
  3. Eclipse IDE for C/C++

After getting the necessary development environment setup, Now lets focus on the solutions. You can go to the appropriate program by clicking on the links below.

Question 3

Electricity Bill

An electricity board charges the following rates for the use of electricity: for the first 200 units 80 paise per unit: for the next 100 units 90 paise per unit: beyond 300 units Rs 1 per unit. All users are charged a minimum of Rs. 100 as meter charge. If the total amount is more than Rs 400, then an additional surcharge of 15% of total amount is charged. Write a program to read the name of the user, number of units consumed and print out the charges.
