A Program with and without the go-to statement.

The goto statement makes a C Programmer's life only worse. Because of goto, it becomes hard to debug programs and find out and correct errors. With goto, the sequence of program execution changes abruptly, and so it also becomes very difficult to understand the programs.

Of course, we can do without goto. But the only thing is that we need to combine the other instructions. One such example is provided here. The first program makes use of the goto statement, which appears to be fascinating.
But then, as said earlier, the effect of goto can be realized by using other statements as well. That is being demonstrated in the next program.

Program with goto:

#include<stdio.h>
main()
{

int i, j, k;
for (i=1; i<=3; i++)

{
for (j=1; j<=3; j++)

{
for (k=1; k<=3; k++)

{
if (i==3&& j==3&&k==3)

goto out;
else
printf("%d %d %d \n", i, j, k);

}
}
}

out:
printf("Out of the loop at last!");

}



Program without goto:


#include<stdio.h>
main()
{

int i, j, k;
for (i=1; i<=3; i++)

{
for (j=1; j<=3; j++)

{
for (k=1; k<=3; k++)

{
if (i==3&& j==3&&k==3)

continue;
else
printf("%d %d %d \n", i, j, k);

}
continue;
}
continue;
}

printf("Out of the loop at last!");

}

C Program - Calculation of Area and Circumference of a Circle using Pointers

The following program is one good example that illustrates how we can return more than one value in a function. The answer is certainly using Pointers. The following program demonstrates the method. Write a function that calculates both Area and Perimeter/ Circumference of the Circle, whose Radius is entered through the keyboard. #include <stdio.h> main ( ) { int radius ; float area , perimeter ; printf ( " \n Enter radius of a circle:" ) ; scanf ( "%d" , & radius ) ; areaperi ( radius , & area , & perimeter ) ; printf ( "Area=%f" , area ) ; printf ( " \n Perimeter=%f" , perimeter ) ; } areaperi ( int r , float * a , float * p ) { * a = 3.14 * r * r ; * p = 2 * 3.14 * r ; } // This Program exhibits the use of Call By Reference .

Matchstick Game using C Programming

Write a program for a matchstick game being played between the computer and a user. Your program should ensure that the computer always wins. Rules for the game are as follows: -There are 21 matchsticks. -The computer asks the player to pick 1, 2, 3 or 4 matchsticks. -After the person picks, the computer does its picking. -Whoever is forced to pick up the last matchstick loses the game. -There are 21 matchsticks. -Whoever is forced to pick up the last matchstick loses the game. So the last one is special, so it's all about how to get rid of 20 matches in pairs of turns. -The computer asks the player to pick 1, 2, 3 or 4 matchsticks. So if we reduce the total by 5 each round, the sequence will go 21 16 11 6 1 In effect, whatever number the user picks (n), the computer picks 5-n #include <stdio.h> main ( ) { int matchsticks = 21 , user , computer ; printf ( "Do not enter Invalid Numbers. \n Numbers above 4 are invalid." ) ; printf ( " \n If you do so, t

Generation of Fibonacci Sequence using Recursion.

Write a recursive function to obtain the first 25 numbers of a Fibonacci sequence. In a Fibonacci sequence the sum of two successive terms gives the third term. Following are the first few terms of the Fibonacci sequence: 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 ... #include <stdio.h> main ( ) { static int prev_number = 0 , number = 1 ; // static : so value is not lost int fibonacci ( int prev_number , int number ) ; printf ( "Following are the first 25 Numbers of the Fibonacci Series: \n " ) ; printf ( "1 " ) ; // to avoid complexity fibonacci ( prev_number , number ) ; } fibonacci ( int prev_number , int number ) { static int i = 1 ; // i is not 0 , cuz 1 is already counted in main . int fibo ; if ( i = = 25 ) { printf ( " \n done" ) ; // stop after 25 numbers } else { fibo = prev_number + number ; prev_number = number ; // important steps number = fibo ; printf ( " \n %d" , fibo ) ; i + + ; // increment
