float circarea(float rad);
main()
{
float radius, area;
printf(“\n Enter radius of the circle: “);
scanf(“%d”, &radius);
area = circarea();
printf(“Area of the circle with radius %.1f cm is %.2f sq. cm\n”, );
return 0;
}
float circarea( float radius)
{
(3.1416 * radius * radius);
} [6 marks]

QUESTION FOUR: [20MARKS]
a) Indicate the output of the following code:
Void function1(int x);
Main()
{
Int a = 7;
printf(“%d\n”, a);
function1(a);
printf(“%d\n”, a);
function1(a);

{
a = a + 4;
printf(“%d\n”, a);
} [4 marks]
b) Explain the steps that are followed in program development. [4 marks]
c) i) Using a pseudocode, design a program that takes the user’s age from the keyboard, checks if
-age is less than or equal to 35, the it prints “You are Young”;
and
-age is greater than 35, “it prints “You are elderly”; [6 marks]
ii) Write a code in C for the pseudocode developed in i) above. [8 marks]
