(b) Differentiate between while and while-do loop with an help of an example.
Q3:

(b) What do you mean by enumerated data types? Are there different from strings? Explain their use.
Q4:

Q6:
(a) Write a program in C which reads an array of size n, find how many numbers in the array are even, odd and count them and print the information.

Q7:
(a) Differentiate between call by value and call by reference parameter passing mechanism with the help of an example.
(b) In C when arrays are passed to the function, which mechanism do they follow? Is there any relation between pointers and array name? Explain.
