The final assessment is designed to evaluate your understanding and application of the concepts covered throughout the C Programming Course. This assessment will consist of a comprehensive project and a series of questions that test your knowledge on various topics. The goal is to ensure you can apply what you've learned in practical scenarios and demonstrate a solid grasp of C programming.

1. Comprehensive Project
2. Multiple-Choice Questions
3. Short Answer Questions
4. Code Writing and Debugging

Objective: Develop a complete C program that incorporates multiple concepts learned throughout the course.

Project Requirements:

• Problem Statement: Create a program that manages a simple library system. The system should allow users to add, delete, search, and display books. Each book should have attributes such as title, author, ISBN, and year of publication.
• Features to Implement:
  • Add a new book
  • Delete a book by ISBN
  • Search for a book by title or author
  • Display all books
  • Save the book list to a file
  • Load the book list from a file

Guidelines:

• Use structures to represent books.
• Implement dynamic memory allocation for storing the book list.
• Use file handling to save and load the book list.
• Ensure proper error handling and input validation.
• Write clean, readable, and well-documented code.

Submission:

• Submit the source code file(s).
• Include a README file with instructions on how to compile and run the program.
• Provide sample input and output.

Objective: Test your theoretical knowledge of C programming concepts.

Sample Questions:

1. What is the correct syntax to declare a pointer to an integer?

   • A) int *ptr;
   • B) int ptr*;
   • C) int &ptr;
   • D) int ptr&;

2. Which function is used to dynamically allocate memory in C?

   • A) malloc()
   • B) alloc()
   • C) memalloc()
   • D) mem()

3. What is the output of the following code snippet?

   int x = 5;
   printf("%d", x++);
   

   • A) 4
   • B) 5
   • C) 6
   • D) Undefined

Objective: Assess your understanding of key concepts through brief explanations.

Sample Questions:

1. Explain the difference between malloc and calloc.
2. Describe the purpose of the static keyword in C.
3. What are the advantages of using pointers in C?

Objective: Evaluate your ability to write and debug C code.

Tasks:

1. Write a Function:

   • Write a function that reverses a string in place.

   void reverseString(char *str) {
       // Your code here
   }
   

2. Debug the Code:

   • Identify and fix the errors in the following code snippet:

   #include <stdio.h>
   
   void main() {
       int arr[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
       for (int i = 0; i <= 5; i++) {
           printf("%d ", arr[i]);
       }
   }
   

• Correctness: The program and answers should be correct and meet the requirements.
• Code Quality: The code should be clean, readable, and well-documented.
• Efficiency: The solutions should be efficient in terms of time and space complexity.
• Understanding: Demonstrate a clear understanding of the concepts through explanations and code.

The final assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of your skills and knowledge in C programming. It is designed to test your ability to apply what you have learned in practical scenarios. Take your time to carefully complete each component, and ensure your code is well-documented and error-free. Good luck!
