List of Experiments
1. Develop a program about fundamental Data types C Programming.
(i.e., int, float, complex, bool and string types)
2. Write a C program that calculates the Simple Interest and Compound
Interest. The Principal, Amount, Rate of Interest and Time are entered
through the keyboard.
3. Write a C program to demonstrate various type conversions.
4. write a program that accepts marks of five subjects and finds
percentage and prints grades according to the following criteria:
Between 90-100%--------------Print ‘A’
80-90%---------------------------Print ‘B’
60-80%---------------------------Print ‘C’
Below 60%----------------------Print ‘D’
