In C (16-bit Turbo C under DOS), what will this program output, considering 'extern' without a definition and assignment before any definition? #include<stdio.h> int main() { extern int i; // declaration only, no definition here i = 20; // assignment requires a definition to exist at link time printf("%d ", sizeof(i)); // sizeof uses the type, not the object return 0; }

C prototype mismatch and argument promotions: what happens here (Turbo C style)? #include<stdio.h> int main() { extern int fun(float); // prototype says: takes float, returns int int a; a = fun(3.14); // call with float literal printf("%d ", a); return 0; } int fun(int aa) // actual definition: takes int, returns int { return (int)++aa; }
