13. What shall be the output of the following C code?
void main()
{
unsigned int x= -1;
int y =0;
if(y<=x) printf("A is true\n");
if (y = =(x = -10)) printf("B is true\n");
if ((int) x>=y) printf("C is true\n");
}
a. A is true.
b. B is true.
c. C is true.
d. None of the above.
Ans. A is true because x contains -1, i.e., in binary it is ffff, i.e., all 1s, so being unsigned, all 1s are interpreted as the value 65535 and not as -1 (however, all 1s are interpreted as -1 if it is just an int), hence y<=x returns true.

14. In the following code what is the correct way to increment the variable ptr to
point to the next member of the array

union intfloat
{
int intArray[ 5];
float floatArray[ 5];

};
union intfloat arr[20];
void *ptr =arr;

a. ++(int*)ptr;
b. ptr = ptr+5;
c. ptr = ptr +sizeof(*ptr);
d. ptr = ptr+sizeof(intfloat.floatArray);
e. ptr = (void*)((union intfloat*)ptr +1);

Ans. e. ptr = (void*)((union intfloat*)ptr +1);


15.What shall be the output of the following program?

#define PRINTXYZ(x,y,z) printf (#x "=%d\t" #z "=%d\n", x, y)

void main() {
int x, y, z;
x=0; y=1; z=2;

x || ++y ||++z;
PRINTXYZ(x,y,z);

++x || ++y && ++z;
PRINTXYZ(x,y,z);

++x && ++y || ++z;
PRINTXYZ(x,y,z);
}

a. Compilation error.
b. Runtime error.
c.
x=0 z=2
x=1 z=3
x=2 z=4
d.
x=0 z=2
x=1 z=2
x=2 z=3
e. None of the above.

Ans. d.

16. What shall be the output of the following code ?

main()
{
printf("%d %d", sizeof(NULL), sizeof(""));
}

a. 1 and 0.
b. 0 and 1
c. 2 and 1
d. 4 and 1
e. None of the above

Ans. Depends on the machine and compiler. Actually it is the sizeof(int) and sizeof(char) as a string is stored as a char array terminated with 0, so sizeof("") gives 1, whereas sizeof("adsf") gives 5 (including the terminating 0). So in TurboC we get c as the answer, on VC we get d as the answer, so I guess e is the ans, i.e., None of the above.


17. What shall be the output of the following code?

int *check ( int,int);
void main()
{int c,d;
c = check(11,29);
d= check(20,30);
printf("\nc=%u",c);
}
int * check(int i,int j )
{
int *p, *q;
p=&i;
q=&j;
if(i>=95)
return(q);
else
return(p);
}
a. 11
b. 29
c. Compilation error
d. Runtime error
e. None of the above.
Ans. e. None of the above. the statement c = check(11,29) is assigning an int ptr to an int, so c has an address of an int (which has gone out of scope, since the function returns the address of a variable which had its scope only inside the function, since the parameters were passed by value) so the value printed can be anything. Instead, if the statement was c = *(check(11,29)) then c would have the value stored at the address returned by the function, which would most probably be 11, but it cannot be guaranteed since the variable i has fallen out of scope.


18. What shall be the output of the following code?

void main()
{int a[3][2]={ 1,2,
5,7,
6,8};

printf("\n%d",((a+1)-(&a+1)));
}
a. 0
b. -16
c. -2
d. -8
e. None of the above.

Ans. -2. I haven't been able to figure this one out. a is the address of the 2-d array, here a, &a, *a all give the same value, i.e., address of the array. (a+1) gives the address of the second row, it is the same as a[1]. *(a+1) gives the address of the first cell of the second row. **(a+1) gives the value of the element stored in the first cell in the second row. (*(a+1)+1) gives the address of the second cell of the second row. *(*(a+1)+1) gives the value of the element stored in the second cell in the second row.

19.What shall be the output of the following code?
main()
{
char str1[]="Hello";
char str2[]="Hello";
if(str1= =str2&& (*(str1+6)= =*(str2+6)))
printf("\n Equal");
else
printf("\n unequal");
}
a. Equal
b. Unequal
c. Compilation error.
d. Runtime error.
e. None of the above.

Ans. b. Unequal, because the addresses of the two strings are str1 and str2 and they are different.

20. Given that sizeof(int) is 2 , what is the output of the following code
main()
{
int a, b=255,c=127;
a=~b;
c=c^(~a & b|0);\
c=c^(~(~b));
printf("%d\n",c);
}
a. Error because of overflow;
b. 255
c. -256
d. 127
e. None of the above
Ans. d. 127
