There were 10 records stored in “somefile.dat” but the
following program printed 11 names. What went wrong?

void main()

{

struct student

{

char name[30], rollno[6];

}stud;

FILE *fp = fopen(“somefile.dat”,”r”);

while(!feof(fp))

{

fread(&stud, sizeof(stud), 1 , fp);

puts(stud.name);

}

}

Answer / susie

Explanation:

fread reads 10 records and prints the names successfully. It
will return EOF only when fread tries to read another record
and fails reading EOF (and returning EOF). So it prints the
last record again. After this only the condition feof(fp)
becomes false, hence comes out of the while loop.

In a gymnastic competition, scoring is based on the average of all scores given by the judges excluding the maximum and minimum scores. Let the user input the number of judges, after that, input the scores from the judges. Output the average score. Note: In case, more than two judges give the same score and it happens that score is the maximum or minimum then just eliminate two scores. For example, if the number of judges is 5 and all of them give 10 points each. Then the maximum and minimum score is 10. So the computation would be 10+10+10, this time. The output should be 10 because 30/3 is 10.

Write out a function that prints out all the permutations of a string. For example, abc would give you abc, acb, bac, bca, cab, cba. You can assume that all the characters will be unique.
