QUESTIONS No.101-119

101) void main()

{

void *v;

int integer=2;

int *i=&integer;

v=i;

printf("%d",(int*)*v);

}

Answer:

Compiler Error. We cannot apply indirection on type void*.

Explanation:

Void pointer is a generic pointer type. No pointer arithmetic can be done on it.

Void pointers are normally used for,

1. Passing generic pointers to functions and returning such pointers.

2. As a intermediate pointer type.

3. Used when the exact pointer type will be known at a later

point of time.


 

102) void main()

{

int i=i++,j=j++,k=k++;

printf("%d%d%d",i,j,k);

}

Answer:

Garbage values.

Explanation:

An identifier is available to use in program code from the point of its declaration.

So expressions such as i = i++ are valid statements. The i, j and k

are automatic variables and so they contain some garbage value.

Garbage in is garbage out (GIGO).


 

103) void main()

{

static int i=i++, j=j++, k=k++;

printf("i = %d j = %d k = %d", i, j, k);

}

Answer:

i = 1 j = 1 k = 1

Explanation:

Since static variables are initialized to zero by default.

104) void main()

{

while(1){

if(printf("%d",printf("%d")))

break;

else

continue;

}

}

Answer:

Garbage values

Explanation:

The inner printf executes first to print some garbage value. The

printf returns no of characters printed and this value also cannot be

predicted. Still the outer printf prints something and so returns a

non-zero value. So it encounters the break statement and comes

out of the while statement.


 

104) main()

{

unsigned int i=10;

while(i-->=0)

printf("%u ",i);

}

Answer:

10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 65535 65534…..

Explanation:

Since i is an unsigned integer it can never become negative. So the

expression i-- >=0 will always be true, leading to an infinite loop.


 

105) #include<conio.h>

main()

{

int x,y=2,z,a;

if(x=y%2) z=2;

a=2;

printf("%d %d ",z,x);

}

Answer:

Garbage-value 0

Explanation:

The value of y%2 is 0. This value is assigned to x. The condition

reduces to if (x) or in other words if(0) and so z goes uninitialized.

Thumb Rule: Check all control paths to write bug free code.


 

106) main()

{

int a[10];

printf("%d",*a+1-*a+3);

}

Answer:

4

Explanation:

*a and -*a cancels out. The result is as simple as 1 + 3 = 4 !

107) #define prod(a,b) a*b

main()

{

int x=3,y=4;

printf("%d",prod(x+2,y-1));

}

Answer:

10

Explanation:

The macro expands and evaluates to as:

x+2*y-1 => x+(2*y)-1 => 10

108) main()

{

unsigned int i=65000;

while(i++!=0);

printf("%d",i);

}

Answer:

1

Explanation:

Note the semicolon after the while statement. When the value of i

becomes 0 it comes out of while loop. Due to post-increment on i

the value of i while printing is 1.


 

109) main()

{

int i=0;

while(+(+i--)!=0)

i-=i++;

printf("%d",i);

}

Answer:

-1

Explanation:

Unary + is the only dummy operator in C. So it has no effect on

the expression and now the while loop is, while(i--!=0) which is

false and so breaks out of while loop. The value –1 is printed due

to the post-decrement operator.


 

113) main()

{

float f=5,g=10;

enum{i=10,j=20,k=50};

printf("%d\n",++k);

printf("%f\n",f<<2);

printf("%lf\n",f%g);

printf("%lf\n",fmod(f,g));

}

Answer:

Line no 5: Error: Lvalue required

Line no 6: Cannot apply leftshift to float

Line no 7: Cannot apply mod to float

Explanation:

Enumeration constants cannot be modified, so you cannot apply

++.

Bit-wise operators and % operators cannot be applied on float

values.

fmod() is to find the modulus values for floats as % operator is for

ints.


 

110) main()

{

int i=10;

void pascal f(int,int,int);

f(i++,i++,i++);

printf(" %d",i);

}

void pascal f(integer :i,integer:j,integer :k)

{

write(i,j,k);

}

Answer:

Compiler error: unknown type integer

Compiler error: undeclared function write

Explanation:

Pascal keyword doesn't mean that pascal code can be used. It

means that the function follows Pascal argument passing mechanism in

calling the functions.
