Problem Statement

Write a C program to sort N student records in descending order of their marks.

Input Format

First line: N. Next N lines: Name and marks.

Output Format

Print sorted student names and marks row by row.

Constraints

1 <= N <= 50

Sample Input

3
John 70.0
Alice 95.5
Bob 82.0

Sample Output

Alice 95.50
Bob 82.00
John 70.00

Explanation

Sorts structures based on floating-point marks descending.

Starter Code

#include <stdio.h>

struct Student {
    char name[51];
    float marks;
};

int main() {
    int n;
    if (scanf("%d", &n) == 1) {
        struct Student s[n];
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            scanf("%50s %f", s[i].name, &s[i].marks);
        }
        // Write your code here
    }
    return 0;
}

Intermediate

Embedded systems rely on efficient low-level programming to interact directly with hardware. In this course, you will learn how to write practical Embedded C programs used in real microcontroller-based systems. Rather than focusing only on theory, this course follows a practice-driven approach. Each lesson includes hands-on coding exercises that simulate real firmware development tasks used
