(h) In a company, worker efficiency is determined on the basis of the time required for a worker to
complete a particular job. If the time taken by the worker is between 2 – 3 hours, then the worker is
said to be highly efficient. If the time required by the worker is between 3 – 4 hours, then the worker
is ordered to improve speed. If the time taken is between 4 – 5 hours, the worker is given training to
improve his speed, and if the time taken by the worker is more than 5 hours, then the worker has to
leave the company. If the time taken by the worker is input through the keyboard, find the efficiency
of the worker.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int hour;
printf("Enter the number of hours for you to complete a job: ");

(I) A university has the following rules for a student to qualify for a degree with A as the main
subject and B as the subsidiary subject:
(a) He should get 55 percent or more in A and 45 percent or more in B.
(b) If he gets than 55 percent in A he should get 55 percent or more in B. However, he should get at
least 45 percent in A.
(c) If he gets less than 45 percent in B and 65 percent or more in A he is allowed to reappear in an
examination in B to qualify.
(d) In all other cases he is declared to have failed.
Write a program to receive marks in A and B and Output whether the student has passed, failed or is
allowed to reappear in B.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int mark1,mark2;
printf("Enter the percentage you got in subject A: ");

Conditional operators
[G] What would be the output of the following programs:
(a) main( )
{
int i = -4, j, num ;
j = ( num < 0 ? 0 : num * num ) ;
printf ( "n%d", j ) ;
}
Ans) 0
(b) main( )
{
int k, num = 30 ;
k = ( num > 5 ? ( num <= 10 ? 100 : 200 ) : 500 ) ;

19. LET US C (5th
EDITION) CHAPTER 3 ANSWERS
printf ( "n%d", num ) ;
}
Ans) 30
(c) main( )
{
int j = 4 ;
( !j != 1 ? printf ( "nWelcome") : printf ( "nGood Bye") ) ;
}
Ans) Welcome
[H] Point out the errors, if any, in the following programs:
(a) main( )
{
int tag = 0, code = 1 ;
if ( tag == 0 )
( code > 1 ? printf ( "nHello" ) ? printf ( "nHi" ) ) ;
else
printf ( "nHello Hi !!" ) ;
}
Ans) Incorrect statement : ( code > 1 ? printf ( "nHello" ) ? printf ( "nHi" ) ) ;
Correct statement : (code > 1 ? Printf("nHello") : printf ("nHi")
(b) main( )
{
int ji = 65 ;
printf ( "nji >= 65 ? %d : %c", ji ) ;
}
Ans) 'ji' is a integer not character and there is no other character variable mentioned.
(c) main( )
{
int i = 10, j ;
i >= 5 ? ( j = 10 ) : ( j = 15 ) ;
printf ( "n%d %d", i, j ) ;
}
Ans) No error
(d) main( )
{
int a = 5 , b = 6 ;
( a == b ? printf( "%d",a) ) ;
}
Ans) There is no ':' in the statement which states it wrong.
(e) main( )
{
int n = 9 ;
( n == 9 ? printf( "You are correct" ) ; : printf( "You are wrong" ) ;) ;
}

20. LET US C (5th

Ans) There is no requirement of ';' in this statement.
(f) main( )
{
int kk = 65 ,ll ;
ll = ( kk == 65 : printf ( "n kk is equal to 65" ) : printf ( "n kk is not equal to 65" ) ) ;
printf( "%d", ll ) ;
}
Ans) '||' cannot be a variable name. A variable name does not contain any special characters apart
from '_'
(g) main( )
{
int x = 10, y = 20 ;
x == 20 && y != 10 ? printf( "True" ) : printf( "False" ) ;
}
Ans) No error
[I] Rewrite the following programs using conditional operators.

(x > max) ? (max = x) : (min = x)

sal < 40000 && sal > 25000 ? printf("Manager") : ( sal < 25000 && sal > 15000 ) ?
printf("Accountant") : printf("Clerk")
}
[J] Attempt the following:
(a) Using conditional operators determine:
(1) Whether the character entered through the keyboard is a lower case alphabet or not.
(2) Whether a character entered through the keyboard is a special symbol or not.
1. #include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
char c;
printf("Enter any character: ");
scanf("%c",&c);
printf("The character you had entered is a small case letter.");
((c >= 48) && c <= 57) ? printf("The character you had entered is a number.") : printf("The
number you entered was not a small case letter.)
Return 0;
2.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
char c;
printf("Enter any character: ");
scanf("%c",&c);

((((c >= 0 && c<= 47) || c >= 58 && c <= 64) || c >= 91 && c <= 96) || c >= 123 && c <= 127) ?
printf("The character you had entered is a special character.") : printf("The number you had
enetered is not a special symbol.")
return 0;
}
(b) Write a program using conditional operators to determine whether a year entered through the
keyboard is a leap year or not.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int number=0;
printf("Enter a year:");
scanf("%d",&number);
(number%4==0) ? printf("The year is a leap year") : printf("The year is not a leap year");
return 0;
}
I don't think it is valuable to try to make this program complex. It should be left as simple as we can.
(c) Write a program to find the greatest of the three numbers entered through the keyboard using
conditional operators.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int num1,num2,num3;
printf("Enter the first number: ");
scanf("%d",&num1);
printf("Enter the second number: ");
scanf("%d",&num2);
printf("Enter the third number: ");

(num1>num2 && num1>num3) ? printf("The first number is the greatest") : (num2>num1 &&
num2>num3) ? printf("The second number is the greatest.") : printf("The third number is the
greatest.");
return 0;
