Standard deviation is used to measure deviation of data from its mean. The mathematical formula to calculate the standard deviation is as follows −$$s=\sqrt{Variance}$$whereVariance$$=\frac{1}{n}\:\:\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n (x_{i}-m)^{2}$$and$$m=mean=\frac{1}{n}\:\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n x_{i}$$AlgorithmRefer an algorithm given below to calculate the standard deviation for the given numbers.Step 1 − Read n items.Step 2 − Calculate sum and mean of the items.Step 3 − Calculate variance.Step 4 − Calculate standard deviation.The logic used in the program for calculating standard deviation is as follows −for (i = 1 ; i

If the elements of the list are arranged in order, then, the middle value which divides the items into two parts with equal number of items on either side is called the median.Odd numbers of items have just one middle value whereas; even numbers of items have two middle values.The median for even number of items is therefore, designated as the average of the two middle values.AlgorithmRefer an algorithm given below to calculate the median.Step 1 − Read the items into an array while keeping a count of the items.Step 2 − Sort the items in increasing order.Step 3 − ...

ProblemWrite a program to print the multiplication table from 1 x 1 to 12 x 10 as given below −1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 2 4 6 8 ……………….20 3 6 9…………………….30 4 8 12 16……………..40 - - - 12 24……………………..120SolutionUse two do while loops in nested form to display the multiplication table.The logic used to display the multiplication table is as follows −Inner loop is controlled by the variable column and is executed 10 times, whenever each time the outer loop is executed.Outer loop is executed 12 times and controlled by variable row.do /*......OUTER LOOP BEGINS........*/{    column = 1;    do /*.......INNER LOOP BEGINS.......*/{       y = row * column;       printf("%4d", y);       column = column + 1;    }    while (column

ProblemA personal system is sold at different costs by the vendors.Let’s take the list of costs (in hundreds) quoted by some vendors −25.00, 30.50, 15.00, 28.25, 58.15, 37.00, 16.65, 42.00 68.45, 53.50SolutionCalculate the average cost and range of values.The difference between the highest and the lowest values in the series is called range Hence, Range = highest value - lowest value.Now, find the highest and the lowest values in the series.ExampleFollowing is the C program to calculate the range of values and average cost of a personal system − Live Demo#include main(){    int count;    float value, high, low, sum, ...

ProblemTo find the cosine and sine values for every 10 degrees from 0 to 150.SolutionThe logic used to find the cosine values is as follows −Declare MAX and PI value at the starting of a programwhile(angle

Pointer is a variable that stores the address of another variable.Features of PointersPointer saves the memory space.The execution time of a pointer is faster because of the direct access to a memory location.With the help of pointers, the memory is accessed efficiently i.e. memory is allocated and deallocated dynamically.Pointers are used with data structures.Pointer declaration, initialization and accessingConsider the following statement −int qty = 179;In the memory, the variable can be represented as shown below −DeclarationDeclaring a pointer can be done as shown below −Int *p;It means ‘p’ is a pointer variable which holds the address of another integer variable.InitializationThe ...

Sorting is the process of arranging the elements either in ascending (or) descending order. This process is determined for accessing and organizing data quickly. Sorting helps in optimizing search techniques and operations that make the data more readable and accessible. This involves comparing elements that rearrange the readable and accessible determined by criteria. Types of sorting Sorting in C involves different methods that determine the data in a certain order. C language provides five sorting techniques, which are as follows − Bubble sort (or) Exchange Sort Selection sort ... Read More
