Calculation of Sum, Average and Standard Deviation using Functions and Pointers.
Write a function that receives 5 integers and returns the sum, average and standard
deviation of these numbers. Call this function from main() and print the results in main().



#include
#include

int calc (float a, float b, float c, float d, float e, float *sum, float *avg,float *sd);

int main()
{
float a, b, c, d, e, sum=0.0, avg=0.0;

float sd=0.0;

printf("Enter Five Numbers:");
scanf("%f %f %f %f %f",&a,&b,&c,&d,&e);

calc (a, b, c, d, e, &sum, &avg, &sd);


printf("\nSum=%f", sum);
printf("\nAverage=%f", avg);

printf("\nStandard Deviation=%f\n", sd);


getchar();

return 0;
}

calc (float a, float b, float c, float d, float e, float *sum, float *avg, float *sd)

{
float Calc=0.0;

*sum = a+b+c+d+e;

*avg = *sum / 5.0;

Calc += ( a - *avg) * ( a - *avg);

Calc += ( b - *avg) * ( b - *avg);

Calc += ( c - *avg) * ( c - *avg);
Calc += ( d - *avg) * ( d - *avg);

Calc += ( e - *avg) * ( e - *avg);


*sd = sqrt((double)Calc/5.0);

}


Calculation of Product of Two Numbers using Function - Returns a Float
This program seems to be rather simple. But there's one little thing to be noted in this particular program. The thing is that the function in this program returns a float. The function declaration is usually given outside main..but due to some other standards that I am following, I have prototyed it inside main..but that doesn't cause much of a difference in this simple program.

Write a function which receives a float and an int from main(), finds the product
of these two and returns the product which is printed through main().

#include
main()
{

int i;
float j, prod;
float product (int x, float y);

printf("Enter the i(int) and j(float):");
scanf ("%d %f", &i, &j);

prod = product(i,j);

printf("Product:%f", prod);

}

product (int x, float y)
{

float product;
product = x*y;
return (product);

}




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
main()
{

int radius;
float area, perimeter;

printf("\nEnter radius of a circle:");

scanf ("%d", &radius);
areaperi (radius, &area, &perimeter);

printf("Area=%f", area);
printf("\nPerimeter=%f", perimeter);

}


areaperi(int r, float *a, float *p)

{
*a=3.14*r*r;
*p=2*3.14*r;

}
