The C variables are case sensitive. This means that variables sal, Sal and SAL would be
treated as different variables in C.
19) A character variable can store ___ character(s) at a time.

a. 1
b. 2
c. 0
d. NULL
Hide Answer
Explanation:
A character variable can at a time store only one character. In fact, if we execute the
following statements, what gets stored in variable ch is not really the character constant,
but the ASCII value of 'A', which is 65.
1. char ch;
2. ch= 'A';
20) How would you round off a value from 1.66 to 2.0?
a. floor(1.66)

C Control Statements Test 1
C control statements test paper contains questions from decision statement: if-else and
switch, loop statement: for loop, while loop & do-while loop and jump statement: break
and continue.
1) Which data type cannot be checked in switch-case

statement?
a. enum
b. character
c. integer
d. float
Hide Answer
Explanation:
In C-languageswitch/case statement is defined by the language specification to use

an int value therefore we cannot use a float value in switch/case statement.
2) How many times "javaTpoint" is printed?

2. int main()
3. {
4. int x;
5. for(x=-1; x<=10; x++)
6. {
7. if(x < 5)
8. continue;
9. else
10. break;
11. printf("javaTpoint");
12. }
13. return 0;
14. }
a. 10 times
b. 11 times
c. 0 times
d. Infinite times
Hide Answer
Explanation:
In program the x is initialized with -1. As x < 5 (since x is -1) it will start with continue
statement.
Continue means "stop the current iteration and proceed to the next iteration". Therefore
x becomes 0 now. This will take place until x becomes 5.
Now if the value of x=5, it will enter the else part where it encounters the break
statement, as a result it will come out of for loop. Hence it will not go to printf statement.
Therefore javaTpoint will be printed 0 times.
3) How many times while loop is executed if a short int is 2 byte

wide?
2. int main()
3. {
4. int i=1;
5. while(i <= 155)
6. {
7. printf("%c %d\n", i, i);
8. i++;
9. }
10. return 0;
11. }
a. 154 times
b. 155 times
c. 156 times
d. Infinite times
Hide Answer
Explanation:
The size of short int which is 2 byte wide does not affect the while() loop operation.
Therefore thewhile (i <= 155) loop will executed 155 times.
4) Which statement is correct about the below program?

2. int main()
3. {
4. int i = 8, j = 24;
5. if(i = 8) && if(j = 24)
6. printf("Welcome Programmer");
7. return 0;
8. }
a. Welcome Programmer
b. Error: Undeclared identifier if
c. Error: Expression syntax
d. No output
Hide Answer
Explanation:
In program 5th line i.e. if(i = 8) && if(j = 24) the "Expression syntax" error occur.
Hence the statement should be like if((i == 5) && (j == 10)).
Therefore on compiling the program Error: Expression syntax is occurring.

5) Find out the error, if any in the below program?
2. int main()
3. {
4. int j = 1;
5. switch(j)
6. {
7. printf("Hello programmer!");
8. case 1:
9. printf("Case1");
10. break;
11. case 2:
12. printf("Case2");
13. break;
14. }
15. return 0;
16. }
a. No error in program and prints "Case1"
b. Error: Invalid printf statement after switch statement
c. Error: No default specified
Hide Answer
Explanation:
In program switch statement is used for switch(j) it becomes switch(1) because i is

initialized with 1.
Therefore the case 1: block is get executed. Hence it prints "Case1".
Printf ("Hello programmer!"); is ignored by the compiler.
Hence there is no error in program and prints "Case1".
6) Find out the error, if any in the while loop of below program.
2. int main()
3. {
4. int j=1;
5. while()
6. {
7. printf("%d\n", j++);
8. if(j>5)
9. break;
10. }
11. return 0;
12. }
a. There should be a semicolon in the while statement
b. The while loop should be replaced with do-while loop
c. There should be a condition in the while loop
d. No error
Hide Answer
Explanation:
In program "Expression syntax" error occur because the while() loop must have conditional
expression.
For Example: while (j >5) { ... }
Therefore for removing the ?Expression syntax? error there should be a condition in the
while loop.
7) If scanf() statement is used for storing a value in char variable,

then along with the value a carriage return (\r) also gets stored.
a. True
b. False
Hide Answer
Explanation:
No, if scanf() statement is used then the carriage return tells the compiler to read the input
from buffer after the ENTER key is pressed by the user. Therefore the value of carriage
return (\r) is not get stored in memory.
8) Find out whether both the loops in a program prints the correct
string length?
2. main()
3. {
4. int j;
5. char s[] = "javaTpoint";
6.
7. for(j=0; s[j]; ++j);
8. printf("%d \n", j);
9.
10. j=0;
11. while(s[j++]);
12. printf("%d ", j);
13. }
a. Yes, both the loops prints the correct string length
b. Only while loop prints the correct string length
c. Only for loop prints the correct string length
d. Compile error in the program
Hide Answer
Explanation:
1. Output: 10
2. 11
In while loop the incorrect string length is printed because while loop variable 'i' get
incremented after checking for '\0', hence giving 1 more than the length of string.
Therefore only for loop prints the correct string length.
9) The break statement is used to take control out

of switch and continue statement is used to take control of the
beginning of the switch?
a. Yes
b. No
Hide Answer
Explanation:
No, because continue statement can work only with loops in C-programming and not
with switch.
10) For printing the value of a and b given below, which printf()
statement will you use?
2. main()
3. float a=3.14;
4. double b=3.14;
a. printf("%Lf %f", a, b);
b. printf("%Lf %Lf", a, b);
c. printf("%f %Lf", a, b);
d. printf("%f %lf", a, b);
Hide Answer
Explanation:
For printing the double value %lf is used as format specifier.
For printing the float value %f is used as format specifier.
Therefore for printing the value of a and b the syntax of printf statement is printf("%f
%lf", a, b);
11) Which statements are correct about an if-else statement in a

C-program?
1. Nested if-else statements are allowed
2. Every if-else statement can be replaced by an equivalent statement using ?:
operators
3. Multiple statement in else block are allowed
4. Multiple statement in if block are allowed
a. 1, 3 and 4
b. 1, 2, 3 and 4
c. 2 , 3and 4
d. 1 and 4
Hide Answer
Explanation:
Nested if-else statement is allowed in C-program we can use if-else statement within if or
else statement.
Multiple statements in if or else block are allowed because we can execute multiple
statements against true value of if or else condition by placing the statements within { ?.. }.
Mostly if-else statement can be replaced by ternary operator but there are some exceptions
also in which if-else statement cannot be replaced by ternary operator.
Therefore 1, 3 and 4 statements are correct about if-else statement.

2. int main()
3. {
4. int P = 10;
5. switch(P)
6. {
7. case 10:
8. printf("Case 1");
9.
10. case 20:
12. break;
13.
14. case P:
16. break;
17. }
18. return 0;
19. }
a. Error: Constant expression required at line case P:
b. Error: There is no break statement in each case
c. Error: No default value is specified
d. No error
Hide Answer
Explanation:
On compiling the program compiler will report an error "constant expression required" in the
line case P: because variable name is not allowed to be used with case statements.
The case statements only accept constant expression. Therefore the Error: Constant
expression required at line case P: is occur.

2. int main()
3. {
4. int i = 1;
5. switch(i)
6. {
7. case 1:
8. printf("Case1");
9. break;
10. case 1*2+2:
11. printf("Case2");
12. break;
13. }
14. return 0;
15. }
a. Error: in switch statement
b. Error: in case 1*2+4 statement
c. Error: No default specified
d. No Error
Hide Answer
Explanation:
In switch statement constant expression are allowed therefore in case 1*2+4 statement it
will give no error.
Therefore it prints "Case1" in the output of program.
14) A long integer is at least 32 bits wide and a short integer is

at least 16 bits wide
a. True
b. False
Hide Answer
Explanation:
The basic C compiler used is 16 bit compiler, below are the size of their data types:
The size of long int is 4 bytes wide i.e. 32 bits.
The size of short int is 2 bytes wide i.e. 16 bits
15) A char variable can store either a Unicode character or an

ASCII character.
a. True
b. False
Hide Answer
Explanation:
Yes, char variable is allowed to store either a Unicode character or an ASCII character
because encoding of character data type is done in Unicode or ASCII format.
16) Which of the following statements are correct about below C-
program?
2. int main()
3. {
4. int x = 100, y = 100%80, j;
5. for(j=1; j<10; j++)
6. if(x != y);
7. printf("x = %d y = %d\n", x, y);
8. return 0;
9. }
1. The program produce the output x=100 y=20
2. The printf() function run for 10 times
3. The semi colon(;) after the if(x!=y) will not produce any error
4. The program will produce no output
The options are given below:
a. 2
b. 1,3
c. 3,4
d. 4
Hide Answer
Explanation:
The statement 1 is true because x=100 and y=20 is the output of a program.
The statement 2 is false because printf() function is not inside for loop. Therefore printf
statement only runs for 1 time.
The statement 3 is true because the semicolon is used for terminating a conditional
statement. Therefore if(x!=y); is allowed in C.
The statement 4 is false because the program is producing output x=100 and y=20.
Therefore only statement 1 and 3 are correct statement.

17) Which of the following statements are correct about for loop in
C-program?
1. All things that can be done using a for loop can also be done using a while loop.
2. for loop can be used if we want statements in a loop get executed at least once.
3. for loop works faster than a while loop.
4. for(;;); implements an infinite loop.
The options are given below:
a. 1
b. 1, 2, 3
c. 2, 3, 4
d. 1, 2, 4
Hide Answer
Explanation:
For loop is used if we want statements in loop get executed at least once. Therefore for loop
works slower than a while loop i.e. statement 3 is incorrect.
Remaining 3 statements about for loop is correct.
Therefore statement 1, 2, 4 are the correct statements.
18) What is the output of the given program, if a short int is 2

bytes wide?
2. int main()
3. {
4. short int i = 0;
5. for(i<=5 && i>=-1; ++i; i>0)
6. printf("%u,", i);
7. return 0;
8. }
a. Expression syntax error
b. 1 .... 65535
c. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
d. No output
Hide Answer
Explanation:
In for loop expression i.e. for(i<=5 && i>=-1; ++i; i>0) the expression i<=5 && i>=-1
is the loop condition. Expression ++i increment the expression.
In given for loop condition the loop start from 1and it gets executed till the limit of integer
i.e. 65535.
Therefore the output of the program is 1 ... 65535.
19) Can we use switch statement to switch on strings in C?

a. Yes
b. No
Hide Answer
Explanation:
In switch statemen,t the cases must be either constant expression or an integer constant.
Therefore it is not allowed to use switch statement to switch on strings in C programming.
20) What is the output of the given program?

2. int main()
3. {
4. int a=5;
5. do
6. {
7. printf("%d\n",a);
8. a= -1;
9. }while (a>0);
10. return 0;
11. }
a. -1
b. 5
c. 0
d. Compile error
Hide Answer
Explanation:
A do-while allows body of the loop to get executed before testing the condition. Therefore to
begin with, value of a, i.e. 5, gets printed, and then the control reaches the statement a=-
1.
Since -1 is not greater than 0, so the condition fails and the loop is terminated at the value
of a=5.
Therefore the output of program is 5.
C Functions Test 1
1) What is the built-in library function for comparing the two

strings?
a. strcmp()
b. equals()
c. str_compare()
d. string_cmp()
Hide Answer
Explanation:
The strcmp() is a built-in function available in "string.h" header file. It is used for comparing
the two strings. It returns 0 if both are same strings. It returns positive value greater than 0
if first string is greater than second string, otherwise it returns negative value.
2) What is passed when we pass an array as a function
argument?
a. Base address of an array
b. Address of the last element of array
c. First value of elements in array
d. All value of element in array
Hide Answer
Explanation:
On passing the name of array as function argument; the name contain the base address of
an array and base address is updated inside a main function.
3) Which function finds the first occurrence of a substring in

another string?
a. strchr()
b. strnset()
c. strstr()
d. None of these.
Hide Answer
Explanation:
The first occurrence of a substring in another string is founds in strstr() function.
4) What is the built-in library function for adjusting the allocated

dynamic memory size.
a. calloc
b. malloc
c. realloc
d. resize
Hide Answer
Explanation:
realloc() is a built in library function for adjusting the dynamic memory size. malloc() and
calloc() allocates the memory but don't resize. There is no built in function with a name
resize().
5) Which keyword is used to transfer control from a function back

to the calling function?
a. return
b. go back
c. switch
d. goto
Hide Answer
Explanation:
In C language, the return function stops the execution of function and returns a value to
calling function. Execution is begins in a calling function by instantly following the call.
6) Which library function can change an unsigned long integer to

a string?
a. system()
b. ltoa()
c. ultoa()
d. unsigned long can't be change into a string
Hide Answer
Explanation:
The function ultoa() is used for converting an unsigned long integer to a string.
7) What is the output of below C program?
1.
3. int function1(int);
4.
5. int main()
6. {
7. int k=30;
8. k = function1(k=function1(k=function1(k)));
9. printf("k=%d\n", k);
10. return 0;
11. }
12. int function1(int k)
13. {
14. k++;
15. return k;
16. }
a. k=30
b. k=31
c. k=32
d. k=33
Hide Answer
Explanation:
Step 1: int k=30; The variable k is declared as an integer type and initialized to 30.
Step 2: k=function1(k= function1(k=function1(k))); The function1 (k) increment

the value of k by 1 and return it. In program function1(k) is called 3 times. Hence the value
of k increments from k=30 to 33. Therefore result stored in the variable k=33.
Step 3: printf("k=%d\n", k); It prints the value of variable k =33.
8) What is the purpose of using fflush() function?

a. Flushes only specified stream.
b. Flushes file buffer.
c. Flushes input/output buffer.
d. Flushes all streams and specified buffer.
Hide Answer
Explanation:
Using "flush()" function we can flush any buffered output associated with a filename, which
is either a shell command for redirecting output or a file opened for writing.
For example:
1.
2. fflush (FilePointer);
3. fflush (NULL); //It flushes all streams
9) What is the value returned by strcmp() function when two

strings are the equal?
a. 2
b. 1
c. 0
d. Error
Hide Answer
Explanation:
C library function strcmp() compares the two strings with each other and the value is return
accordingly.
1.
2. int strcmp (const char *str1, const char *str2)
Comparison occurs between a first string (str1) with a second string (str2).
On comparing the two string, the values return by a function strcmp() are:
o If, str1 is equal to str2 then Return value = 0

o If, str1 is greater than str2 then Return value > 0
o If, str1 is less than str2 then Return value < 0
10) Which function disconnects the stream from a file pointer?
a. fclose()
b. fremove()
c. remove()
d. file pointer set to NULL
Hide Answer
Explanation:
Function that disconnects the stream from a file pointer is fclose(), it flushes the buffers
associated with a stream and disconnects the stream from a file pointer.
11) If the integer data type (int) is 2 bytes wide, what is the output
of below program?
1. #include <stdio.h>
2. void fun(char**);
3.
4. int main()
5. {
6. char *argmntv[] = {"gh", "ef", "cd", "ab"};
7. fun(argmntv);
8. return 0;
9. }
10. void fun(char **x)
11. {
12. char *y;
13. y= (x+= sizeof(int))[-1];
14. printf("%s\n", y);
15. }
a. gh
b. ab
c. ef
d. cd
Hide Answer
Explanation:
The output of the above program will be ef in Windows (Turbo C) and ab in Linux (GCC).
Since C is a machine dependent language therefore sizeof(int) may return different values
in different operating system.
In Windows operating system sizeof(int)=2 bytes.
In Linux operating system sizeof(int)=4 bytes.
The given size of int is 2 bytes therefore program output is based on the Windows (Turbo C)
compiler. Therefore the output of program is ef.
12) Find out the error in the below program?

2.
3. int main()
4. {
5. int b=15;
6. void f1();
7. b = f1();
8. printf("%d\n", b);
9. return 0;
10. }
11. void f1()
12. {
13. printf("Hello");
14. }
a. Error: Doesn't print anything
b. Error: Not allowed assignment
c. No error
Hide Answer
Explanation:
The void f() function is not visible to the compiler while going through main() function.
Hence we need to declare this prototype void f(); before the main() function. This kind of
error is not occurring in modern compiler.
Therefore on compiling the above program it give Error: Not allowed assignment.
13) Which statement is correct about the below program?

2.
3. int main()
4. {

a. Error: main() cannot be called inside printf()
b. It prints the garbage values infinitely
c. Runs infinitely without printing anything
d. No Error and print nothing
Hide Answer
Explanation:
In printf statement i.e. printf("%p\n", main()); This statement calls the main() function and
then it repeats infinitely, until the stack is overflow.
Therefore program runs infinitely without printing anything.

15. int function()
16. {
17. printf("Hello");
18. }
a. Hi
b. Hello Hi
c. No output
d. Infinite loop
Hide Answer
Explanation:
Step 1: int j; The variable j is declared as an integer type.

Step 2: int function(); This statement tells the compiler that the function does not accept
any argument and it returns an integer value.
Step 3: while(j) The value of j is not initialized so the while condition is failed. Therefore it
does not execute the while block.
Step 4: printf("Hi\n"); This statement prints "Hi".
Therefore the output of the program is "Hi".
18) The C library function rewind() is used for re-position the file
pointer at the beginning of the file.
a. True
b. False
Hide Answer
Explanation:
In C, rewind function reposition the file position at the beginning of the file of given stream.
The syntax of using function rewind() is:

3. {
4. char x[]="javaTpoint", y[]="javaTpoint";
5. if(x==y){
6. printf("Strings are Equal");
7. }
8. }
a. Strings are Equal
b. No output
c. Runtime error
d. Compilation error
Hide Answer
Explanation:
In the program we are comparing the base address of 'x' and 'y' and they are not same.
Therefore the program has No output.

2. main(){
3. char x[] = "Hi\0Hello";
4. printf("%d %d", strlen(x), sizeof(x));
5. }
a. 59
b. 9 20
c. 2 9
d. 2 5
Hide Answer
Explanation:
The strlen(x) function is used for finding the length of string 'x'. In program the length of
string is count of character upto '\0'. Hence the string length output is 2.
The sizeof(x) function is used for finding the size of string 'x'. In program sizeof() returns
the size of the complete array. Hence the size of array output is 9.
Therefore the combined output of the program is 2 9.
4) A pointer to a block of memory is effectively same as an array.

a. True
b. False
Hide Answer
Explanation:
Using the standard library function malloc() and treat it as an array. The value of array is
same as pointer to a block of memory.
Therefore it is possible to allocate block of memory at run time in array.
5) Which of the following statements are correct about array in C?

1. The expression num[2] represents the very second element in the array
2. The declaration of num[SIZE] is allowed if SIZE is a macro
3. The array of int num[20]; can store 20 elements
4. It is necessary to initialize array at the time of declaration
a. 2
b. 2,3
c. 1,4
d. 2,4
Hide Answer
Explanation:
1. The expression num[2] represents the second element in array. This statement is
false, because it represents the third element of the array.
2. The declaration of num[SIZE] is allowed if SIZE is a macro. This statement is true,
because MACRO is used for replacing the symbol size with given value.
3. The array of int num[20]; can store 20 elements. This statement is true
4. It is necessary to initialize array at the time of declaration. This statement is false
Therefore statements '2' and '3' are correct.

2. main(){
3. int x[] = {100, 200, 300};
4. printf("%d", *x +1);
5. }
a. 100
b. 200

be incremented.
Therefore the program will generate compile error in output.
9) Which of the statements are correct about 5 used in the

program?
1.
2. int num[5];
3. num[5]=20;
a. In the first statement 5 specifies an array size, whereas in the second statement it
specifies a particular element of array.
b. In the first statement 5 specifies a particular element, whereas in the second
statement it specifies a array size.
c. In the first statement 5 specifies a particular element, whereas in the second
statement it specifies a type.
d. In both the statement 5 specifies array size.
Hide Answer
Explanation:
The statement int num[5]; specifies the size of array and num[5]=20; specifies the
particular element (6th element) of the array.
Therefore in first statement 5 specifies an array size, whereas in second element it specifies
a particular element of an array.

The statement 1 and 4 does not yield the base address of an array. While the printf() and
scanf() yields the base address of an array.
11) Which statements are correct about the program given

below?
2. int main()
3. {
4. int size, j;
5. scanf("%d", &size);
6. int arr[size];
7. for(j=1; j<=size; j++)
8. {
9. scanf("%d", arr[j]);
10. printf("%d", arr[j]);
11. }
12. return 0;
13. }
a. The code is erroneous since the values of an array are getting scanned through the
loop.
b. The code is erroneous since the statement declaring an array is invalid.
c. The code is erroneous since the subscript for an array used in for loop is in the range
1 to size.
d. The code is correct and runs successfully.
Hide Answer
Explanation:
In program the statement int arr[size]; produces an error, because we cannot initialize the
size of array dynamically. Constant expression is required for initialize the size of array. For
Example: int arr[20];
Therefore the code is erroneous since the statement declaring an array is invalid.
12) Are the expression &arr and arr different for an array of 15
integers?
a. Yes
b. No
Hide Answer
Explanation:
Yes, both mean two different things. 'arr' gives the address of first int, whereas the '&arr'
gives the address of array of ints.
Therefore the expression '&arr' and 'arr' are different for an array of 15 integers.
13) Is there any difference in the below declarations?

1. int fun (int arr[5]);
2. int fun(int arr[]);
a. Yes
b. No
Hide Answer
Explanation:
No, both the declarations are same. It is a prototype for function fun() that accepts one
integer array as parameter and an integer value is return.

2. int main()

4. int arr[2]={20};
5. printf("%d\n", 0[arr]);
6. return 0;
7. }
a. 2
b. 0
c. 20
d. 16
Hide Answer
Explanation:
Step 1: int arr[2]={20}; The variable arr[2] is declared as an integer array with size of '3'
and it's first element is initialized with value '20'(means arr[0]=20)
Step 2: printf("%d\n", 0[arr]); It prints the first element value of variable 'arr'.
Therefore the output of the program is 20.
15) What will be the output of the program if an array begins with
address 65486?

7. }
a. 65486, 65486
b. 65486, 65490
c. 65486, 65487
d. 65486, 65488
Hide Answer
Explanation:
Step 1: int arr[] = {10, 11, 12, 15, 23}; The variable 'arr' is declared as an integer array
and initialized.
Step 2: printf("%u, %u\n", arr, &arr); Here, the base address of the array is 65486.
Hence the arr, &arr is pointing towards the base address of the array arr.
Hence the output of the program is 65486, 65486
16) What is 'y' in the below program?

2. int main()
3. {
4. typedef char (*(*arrfptr[4])())[20];

7. }
a. 'x' is an array of three pointers
b. 'x' is an array of three function pointers
c. 'x' is a pointer
d. Error in 'x' declaration
Hide Answer
Explanation:
The statement typedef char (*(*arrfptr[4])())[20]; means arfptr is an array of 3 function

pointer which will return an array of 20 dimension whose data type is char.
Therefore 'x' is an array of three function pointers.
17) The return keyword is used for transfer control from a function
back to the calling function.
a. Yes
b. No
Hide Answer
Explanation:
In C, the return function stops the execution of function and returns the control with value

4. int j;
5. char s[] = "javaTpoint";
6. for(j=0; s[j]; ++j);
7. printf("%d \n", j);
8.
9. j=0;
10. while(s[j++]);
11. printf("%d ", j);
12. }
a. Yes, both the loops prints the correct string length
b. Only while loop prints the correct string length
c. Only for loop prints the correct string length
d. Compile error in the program
Hide Answer
Explanation:
1. Output: 10
2. 11
In while loop the incorrect string length is printed because while loop variable 'i' get
incremented after checking for '\0', hence giving 1 more than the length of string.
Therefore only for loop prints the correct string length.

a. j is a pointer to an int and stores address of i
b. i is a pointer to a pointer to an int and stores address of j
c. i and j are pointers to an int
d. i is a pointer to an int and stores address of j
Hide Answer
Explanation:
In program 'i' is the variable contain pointer. So it is pointer variable and points toward an
integer type in memory location. Therefore 'i' is a pointer to an int.
Now the address of 'j' is assigned to the 'i' pointer, i.e. address of 'j' store to 'i' location.
Therefore the 'i' is a pointer to an int and it stores the address of 'j'.

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

Hide Answer
Explanation:
The strstr() function returns pointer to the first occurrence of the matched string in the
given string. It is used to return substring from first match till the last character.
Syntax:
char *strstr(const char *string, const char *match)
string: It represents the full string from where substring will be searched.
match: It represents the substring to be searched in the full string.

Therefore the output of the above program is javatpoint with c and java.

2. main()
3. {
4. char x[] = "Hi\0Hello";
5. printf("%d %d", strlen(x), sizeof(x));
6. }
a. 59
b. 9 20
c. 2 9
d. 2 5
Hide Answer
Explanation:
The strlen(x) function is used for finding the length of string 'x'. In program the length of
string is count of character upto '\0'. Hence the string length output is 2.
The sizeof(x) function is used for finding the size of string 'x'. In program sizeof() returns
the size of the complete array. Hence the size of array output is 9.
Therefore the combined output of the program is 2 9.
18) If the size of pointer is 4 bytes then what will be the output of
below program?
2. int main()
3. {
4. char *stri[] = {"Java", "C", "Android", "Embedded", "JS"};

6. return 0;
7. }
a. 22, 4
b. 20, 4
c. 20, 5
d. 25,4
Hide Answer
Explanation:
Step 1: char *stri[] = {"Java", "C", "Android", "Embedded", "JS"}; The variable stri is
declaraed as a pointer to the array of 5 strings.
Step 2: printf("%d, %d", sizeof(stri), strlen(stri[0]));
Sizeof(stri) denotes 5*4 bytes=20 bytes. Hence it prints '20'
Strlen(stri[0]) becomes strlen(Java). Hence it prints '4'.
Hence the output of the program is 20, 4.
19) What will be the output of below program?

3. int main()
4. {
5. printf("%c\n", "javatpoint"[5]);
6. return 0;
7. }
a. o
b. t
c. p
d. Compile error
Hide Answer
Explanation:
The statement printf("%c\n", "javatpoint"[5]); prints the 6th character of the string
"javatpoint".
Hence the output of a program is 'p'.

20) What will be the output of the below program in 16 bit platform
assuming that 2022 is memory address of the string "Welcome"
(in Turbo C under DOS)?

5. return 0;
6. }
a. 2022 Programming
b. Welcome Programming
c. Welcome 2022
d. Compile error
Hide Answer
Explanation:
In a statement printf("%u %s\n", &"Welcome", &"Programming");
The %u format specifier tells the compiler to print the memory address of the "Welcome".
The %s format specifier tells the compiler to print the string "Programming".
Hence the output of the program is "2022 Programming".
C Structure, Union, Enums Test 1
1) What is the similarity between a structure, union and

enumeration?
a. All are useful in defining new data types
b. All are useful in defining new variable
c. All are useful in defining new structures
d. All are useful in defining new pointers
Hide Answer
Explanation:
A structure, enumeration and union all of them can be helpful in defining a new data types
in C language.
It is used for creating new data types that holds all kinds of data type like int, char, float,
array inside a user defined data type. So user can use new values and logic of operation in
simple manner.
2) How will we free the allocated memory in a C program?

a. delete(var-name)
b. dalloc(var-name)
c. remove(var-name)
d. free(var-name)
Hide Answer
Explanation:
The built in function free(var-name) is used for free or clear the memory space. If we use
free() the referred memory location can be released for the future use or other operations.
Therefore the free(var-name) is used for clear the allocated memory in a C program.
3) A union can be nested in a structure.

a. True
b. False
Hide Answer
Explanation:
In address mapping or allocation of structure, the program takes union as a one data type
in it.
Therefore union can be nested in a structure statement is true.

2. main()
3. {
4. union abc {
5. int a;
6. char cha;
7. }var;
8. var.cha = 'A';
9. printf("%d", var.a);
10. }
a. A
b. 65
c. 97
d. Garbage value
Hide Answer
Explanation:
The union variable share the common memory for all its elements 'a' gets 'A' whose ASCII
value is 65.
The statement printf("%d", var.a); is used for printing the value 65 in output.
Therefore the output of the program is 65.
5) The elements of union and structure are always accessed

using & operator.
a. Yes
b. No
Hide Answer
Explanation:
No, because the elements of union and structure are always accessed using dot(.) operator.

b. -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
c. 0, 0, 6, 7, 8, 9
d. Compile Error
Hide Answer
Explanation:
Increment and decrement operations are not allowed to be performed in user defined data
type.
Since enum is a user defined data type, no operations can be performed on user-defined
data types.
Therefore ++ or -- logical operations cannot be done on enum value and the program will
return compile error in the output on using this operations in enum data type.

1. struct employ
2. {
3. int ecode;
4. struct employ e;
5. };
a. Linked Error
b. Error: in structure declaration
c. No error
Hide Answer

Explanation:
The structure employ contains a member 'e' of a same data type i.e. struct employ.
In this stage the compiler does not know the size of structure.
Therefore the compiler returns Error: in structure declaration.

2. int main()
3. {
4. struct employ
5. {
6. char name[22];
7. int age;
8. float bs;

12. e.age = 22;
13. printf("%s %d\n", e.name, e.age);
14. return 0;
15. }
a. Error: invalid constant expression
b. Error: Rvalue required
c. Error: Lvalue required/incompatible types in assignment
d. No error, Output: Nakul 22
Hide Answer
Explanation:
In program we assign string to a struct variable like e.name = "Nakul";
In C programming language we are not allowed to assign a string to struct variable.
We have to use strcpy(char *dest, const char *source) function for assigning a string
For example: strcpy(e.name, "Nakul");
Therefore the compiler returns Error: Lvalue required/incompatible types in

assignment

2. main()
3. {

b. 8
c. 2
d. 1
Hide Answer
Explanation:
Union is special data type used in C programming it allows to store different data types in
the same memory location.
All the element of union share the common memory and union size is biggest element size.
Therefore the output of the program or size of union definition is 4.
a. 4 4 garbage value
b. 4 4 0
c. 4 4 4
d. Compile error
Hide Answer
Explanation:
The two possible methods of accessing structure elements using pointer is by using * or ->

13) If an integer is 2 bytes wide, a character is 1 byte wide and a
long integer is 4 bytes wide then will the following structure
always occupy 7 bytes?
1. struct employ
2. {
3. int j;
4. char ch;
5. long int a;
6. };
a. Yes
b. No
Hide Answer
Explanation:
A compiler may leave the holes in structure by padding in the first char in a structure with
another byte for ensuring that the integer is stored at a location.
Also, there is 2 extra bytes after the integer to ensure that long integer is stored at
specified address which is multiple of 4.
Therefore the structure does not always occupy 7 bytes.
14) Which data type cannot be checked in switch-case

statement?
a. enum
b. character
c. integer
d. float
Hide Answer
Explanation:
In C-language switch/casev statement is defined by the language specification to use
an int value therefore we cannot use a float value in switch/case statement.
15) In C language nested unions are allowed.

a. True
b. False
Hide Answer
Explanation:
True, C language allows the use of nested union. Therefore we can use the union inside a
union in C program.

2. {
3. int ecode;
4. struct employ *e;
5. };
a. Error: in structure declaration
b. Linker
c. No error
Hide Answer
Explanation:
This type of declaration is known as self-referential structure. This type of declaration is

allowed to be used in a program.
Here *e is the pointer to a struct employ.

Therefore the compiler will return No error in a program
17) The Bit fields cannot be used in a union.

19) If the below structure is used for writing into a file using
fwrite(), can fread() read it back successfully?
1. struct employ
2. {
3. char *p;
4. int age;
5. };
6. struct employ e={"javaTpoint", 25};
7. FILE *fp;
8. fwrite(&e, sizeof(e), 1, fp);
a. Yes
b. No
Hide Answer
Explanation:
No, because the structure in a program contain a char pointer while writing the structure to
the disk using fwrite() only the data stored in pointer 'n' will get written. Hence
the fread() fails to read the data stored in pointer.
Therefore the fread() cannot read it back successfully.

6. SWAP(x, y);
7. printf("x = %d, y = %d\n", x, y);
8. return 0;
9. }
a. x=10 , y=20
b. x=20, y=10
c. Error: Undefined symbol 't'
d. Error: Declaration not allowed in macro
Hide Answer
Explanation:
The macro statement SWAP(x, y) int t; t=x, x=y, y=t; swaps the value of given two
variable.
Step 1: int x=10, y=20; The variable x and y are declared as an integer type and
initialized to 10, 20 respectively.
Step 2: SWAP(x, y);. Here the macro is substituted and it swaps the value to variable x
and y.
Hence the output of the program is x=20, y=10.
5) Which of the following are correctly formed #define statements

in C language?
a. #define CUBE(x) (X*X*X)
b. #define CUBE(X) {X*X*X}
c. #define CUBE (X) X*X*X
d. #define CUBE(X) (X)*(X)*(X)
Hide Answer
Explanation:
The syntax for macro definition with argument is:
1. "#define MACRO_NAME(ARG) (ARG*ARG*ARG) "

o There should be no space between macro's name and it's '(args)'.
o The variables used as macro's argument are case sensitive and its expansion should
be same. i.e. 'x' and 'X' are different variables.
o A macro expansion should be enclosed within parenthesis '( )' (do not use { } or [ ]).

2. #define DEF
3. int main(){
4. int j=3;
5. #ifdef DEF
6. printf("square of j=%d\n",j*j);
7. #else
8. printf("j=%d\n",j);
9. #endif
10. return 0;
11. }
a. square of j=9
b. j=3
c. Compile error
d. No output
Hide Answer
Explanation:
In program #ifdef, #else and #endif are preprocessor commands.

If the macro DEF is defined by a #define statement, then the code immediately after
#ifdef is compiled otherwise code between #else and #endif commands gets executed.
Since, DEF has been defined, #ifdef DEF evaluates to true hence, square of 'j' is calculated
and gets printed i.e 9.
While defining the macro DEF, it is not compulsory to provide a expansion to the macro
statement because in a program we are not using the value of macro expansion.
Therefore the output of the program is square of j=9.

11. return 0;
12. }
a. Gross salary=1000
b. Gross salary=1400
c. Compile error
d. No output
Hide Answer
Explanation:
When the preprocessor sends the program for compilation IT, HRA and DA have been
replaced by 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 respectively. With the bas_sal set to 1000, the net salary is
calculated as:
1. net_sal=bas_sal*(1+0.2+0.3-0.1);
The statement printf("Gross salary=%f\n", net_sal); prints the result. Therefore the
output of Output:
Gross salary=1400

3. {
4. int p=1, q=2, r=3, s=4, t=5, mn;
5. m=(p+q+r+s+t)/5;
6. printf("Mean of 5 numbers=%d\n",mn);
7. return 0;
8. }
Therefore the output of the above program is "Mean of 5 numbers=3".

1. #define MYFILE <stdio.h>
2. int main()
3. {
4. printf("Hello\n");
5. printf("Welcome to javatpoint\n");
6. return 0;
7. }
8. #include MYFILE
a. Hello\n Welcome to javatpoint\n
b. Hello Welcome to javatpoint
c. Hello Welcome to javatpoint
d. Compile error
Hide Answer
Explanation:
o The name of a file can also be used as name of expansion.

o The preprocessor directive #include can be used anywhere in the program.
During preprocessing, the macro MYFILE gets replaced with <stdio.h>, then program is
compiled and executed as shown below:
1. int main()
2. {
3. printf("Hello\n");
4. printf("Welcome to javatpoint\n");
5. return 0;
6. }
Therefore the output of program is:
Hello
Welcome to javatpoint
17) Will it be result in to an error if a header file is included twice

in a program?
a. Yes
b. No
c. It is compiler dependent
Hide Answer
Explanation:
In GCC compilers and Turbo C the compiler would take care of these problems and it
generates no error. In other compilers the error may occur.
Unless the header file has taken care for ensure that if already included then it doesn't get
included again.
Therefore an error in a program due to use of header file twice in a program is compiler
dependent.
18) The preprocessor can trap simple error like nested comments,
mismatch of braces or missing declarations.
a. True
b. False
Hide Answer
Explanation:
The statement is false because the preprocessor cannot trap the errors; it only replaces the
macro with the given expression.
The compiler is used for detecting an error in a program.
19) In every C program there is at least one preprocessor

directive.
a. True
b. False
Hide Answer

Explanation:
The statement is false because the preprocessor directive is not compulsory in any C
program. We can also develop a program in C language without using any preprocessor
directive.

2. #define MAX(x, y) (x > y ? x : y)
3.
4. int main()
5. {
6. int a;
7. a = MAX(3+1, 2+4);
8. printf("%d\n", a);
9. return 0;
10. }
a. 5
b. 9
c. 8
d. 6
Hide Answer
Explanation:
The macro MAX(x, y) (x > y ? x : y) returns the biggest value of the given two numbers.
Step 1: int a; The variable 'a' is declared as an integer type.
Step 2: a = MAX(3+1, 2+4); becomes,
=> a = (3+1 > 2+4 ? 3+1 : 2+4)
=> a = (4 > 6 ? 4 : 6)
=> a = 6
Step 3: printf("%d\n", a); It prints the value of variable 'a'.
Hence the output of the program is 6.
