Step 2: k = addmult(i, j); becomes k = addmult(3, 4) In the function addmult(). The variable kk, ll are declared as an integer type int kk, ll; kk = ii + jj; becomes kk = 3 + 4 Now the kk value is '7'. ll = ii * jj; becomes ll = 3 * 4 Now the ll value is '12'. return (kk, ll); It returns the value of variable ll only. The value 12 is stored in variable 'k'. Step 3: l = addmult(i, j); becomes l = addmult(3, 4) kk = ii + jj; becomes kk = 3 + 4 Now the kk value is '7'. ll = ii * jj; becomes ll = 3 * 4 Now the ll value is '12'. return (kk, ll); It returns the value of variable ll only.

Step 1: int i=-3, j=2, k=0, m; here variable i, j, k, m are declared as an integer type and variable i, j, k are initialized to -3, 2, 0 respectively. Step 2: m = ++i && ++j && ++k; becomes m = -2 && 3 && 1; becomes m = TRUE && TRUE; Hence this statement becomes TRUE. So it returns '1'(one).

Hence m=1. Step 3: printf("%d, %d, %d, %d\n", i, j, k, m); In the previous step the value of i,j,k are increemented by '1'(one). Hence the output is "-2, 3, 1, 1".

A.True B.False Answer: Option B Explanation: Syntax: void *malloc(size_t size); The malloc() function shall allocate unused space for an object whose size in bytes is specified by size and whose value is unspecified. The order and contiguity of storage allocated by successive calls to malloc() is unspecified. The pointer returned if the allocation succeeds shall be suitably aligned so that it may be assigned to a pointer to any type of object and then used to access such an object in the space allocated (until the space is explicitly freed or reallocated). Each such allocation shall yield a pointer to an object disjoint from any other object. The pointer returned points to the start (lowest byte address) of the allocated space. If the space cannot be allocated, a null pointer shall be returned. If the size of the space requested is 0, the behavior is implementationdefined: the value returned shall be either a null pointer or a unique pointer.

25, 5 20, D. 2 B.

Step 1: char *str[] = {"Frogs", "Do", "Not", "Die", "They", "Croak!"}; The variable str is declared as an pointer to the array of 6 strings. Step 2: printf("%d, %d", sizeof(str), strlen(str[0])); sizeof(str) denotes 6 * 4 bytes = 24 bytes. Hence it prints '24' strlen(str[0])); becomes strlen(Frogs)). Hence it prints '5'; Hence the output of the program is 24, 5 Hint: If you run the above code in 16 bit platform (Turbo C under DOS) the output will be 12, 5.

A.A C.c Answer: Option A Explanation:

B.a 6 D. 5

Step 1: char p[] = "%d\n"; The variable p is declared as an array of characters and initialized with string "%d". Step 2: p[1] = 'c'; Here, we overwrite the second element of array p by 'c'. So array p becomes "%c". Step 3: printf(p, 65); becomes printf("%c", 65); Therefore it prints the ASCII value of 65. The output is 'A'.

IndiaBIX Hello Hello C. IndiaBIX A. Answer: Option C

B.Address of "Hello" and "IndiaBIX" D. Iello HndiaBIX

Explanation: Step 1: void swap(char *, char *); This prototype tells the compiler that the function swap accept two strings as arguments and it does not return anything. Step 2: char *pstr[2] = {"Hello", "IndiaBIX"}; The variable pstr is declared as an pointer to the array of strings. It is initialized to pstr[0] = "Hello", pstr[1] = "IndiaBIX" Step 3: swap(pstr[0], pstr[1]); The swap function is called by "call by value". Hence it does not affect the output of the program. If the swap function is "called by reference" it will affect the variable pstr. Step 4: printf("%s\n%s", pstr[0], pstr[1]); It prints the value of pstr[0] and pstr[1]. Hence the output of the program is Hello IndiaBIX Learn more problems on : Strings Discuss about this problem : Discuss in Forum 15 What will be the output of the program ? .

65474, 65476 65480, C. 65488 A. Answer: Option B Explanation:

65480, 65496 65474, D. 65488 B.

Step 1: int a[3][4] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 3, 2, 1, 7, 8, 9, 0}; The array a[3][4] is declared as an integer array having the 3 rows and 4 colums dimensions. Step 2: printf("%u, %u\n", a+1, &a+1); The base address(also the address of the first element) of array is 65472. For a two-dimensional array like a reference to array has type "pointer to array of 4 ints". Therefore, a+1 is pointing to the memory location of first element of the second row in array a. Hence 65472 + (4 ints * 2 bytes) = 65480 Then, &a has type "pointer to array of 3 arrays of 4 ints", totally 12 ints. Therefore, &a+1 denotes "12 ints * 2 bytes * 1 = 24 bytes". Hence, begining address 65472 + 24 = 65496. So, &a+1 = 65496 Hence the output of the program is 65480, 65496 Learn more problems on : Arrays

r n C.err A.

B.Trh D.None of above

Answer: Option B Explanation: The file source.txt is opened in read mode and target.txt is opened in write mode. The file source.txt contains "To err is human". Inside the while loop, ch=getc(fs); The first character('T') of the source.txt is stored in variable ch and it's checked for EOF. if(ch==EOF) If EOF(End of file) is true, the loop breaks and program execution stops. If not EOF encountered, fseek(fs, 4L, SEEK_CUR); the file pointer advances 4 character from the current position. Hence the file pointer is in 5th character of file source.txt. fputc(ch, ft); It writes the character 'T' stored in variable ch to target.txt.

2.000000, 1.000000 1.550000, C. 2.000000 A. Answer: Option A Explanation:

1.500000, 1.500000 1.000000, D. 2.000000 B.

ceil(x) round up the given value. It finds the smallest integer not < x. floor(x) round down the given value. It finds the smallest integer not > x. printf("%f, %f\n", ceil(n), floor(n)); In this line ceil(1.54) round up the 1.54 to 2 and floor(1.54) round down the 1.54 to 1. In the printf("%f, %f\n", ceil(n), floor(n)); statement, the format specifier "%f %f" tells output to be float value. Hence it prints 2.000000 and 1.000000.

Explanation: printf("%e,", d); Here '%e' specifies the "Scientific Notation" format. So, it prints the 2.25 as 2.250000e+000. printf("%f,", d); Here '%f' specifies the "Decimal Floating Point" format. So, it prints the 2.25 as 2.250000. printf("%g,", d); Here '%g' "Use the shorter of %e or %f". So, it prints the 2.25 as 2.25. printf("%lf,", d); Here '%lf' specifies the "Long Double" format.

A.5 C.6

B.4 D.7

Answer: Option B Explanation: The sizeof function return the given variable. Example: float a=10; sizeof(a) is 4 bytes Step 1: float arr[] = {12.4, 2.3, 4.5, 6.7}; The variable arr is declared as an floating point array and it is initialized with the values. Step 2: printf("%d\n", sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0])); The variable arr has 4 elements. The size of the float variable is 4 bytes. Hence 4 elements x 4 bytes = 16 bytes sizeof(arr[0]) is 4 bytes Hence 16/4 is 4 bytes Hence the output of the program is '4'.
