On executing the below program what will be the contents of 'target.txt' file if the source file contains a line "To err is human"?
#include<stdio.h> int main() { int i, fss; char ch, source[20] = "source.txt", target[20]="target.txt", t; FILE *fs, *ft; fs = fopen(source, "r"); ft = fopen(target, "w"); while(1) { ch=getc(fs); if(ch==EOF) break; else { fseek(fs, 4L, SEEK_CUR); fputc(ch, ft); } } return 0; }
Options- A. r n
- B. Trh
- C. err
- D. None of above
- Correct Answer
- Trh
ExplanationThe 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.
The while loop runs three times and it write the character 1st and 5th and 11th characters ("Trh") in the target.txt file.

- 1. What does fp point to in the program?
#include<stdio.h> int main() { FILE *fp; fp=fopen("trial", "r"); return 0; }
Options- A. The first character in the file
- B. A structure which contains a char pointer which points to the first character of a file.
- C. The name of the file.
- D. The last character in the file. Discuss
Correct Answer: A structure which contains a char pointer which points to the first character of a file.
Explanation:
The fp is a structure which contains a char pointer which points to the first character of a file.- 2. Consider the following program and what will be content of t?
#include<stdio.h> int main() { FILE *fp; int t; fp = fopen("DUMMY.C", "w"); t = fileno(fp); printf("%d\n", t); return 0; }
Options- A. size of "DUMMY.C" file
- B. The handle associated with "DUMMY.C" file
- C. Garbage value
- D. Error in fileno() Discuss
Correct Answer: The handle associated with "DUMMY.C" file
Explanation:
fp = fopen("DUMMY.C", "w"); A file DUMMY.C is opened in write mode and returns the file pointer to fpt = fileno(fp); returns the handle for the fp stream and it stored in the variable t
printf("%d\n", t); It prints the handle number.

Options- A. "A.C" "B.C" "C.C"
- B. "B.C" "C.C"
- C. "A.C"
- D. Error in fclose() Discuss
Correct Answer: Error in fclose()
Explanation:

Options- A. "I am a boy\r\n\0"
- B. "I am a boy\r\0"
- C. "I am a boy\n\0"
- D. "I am a boy" Discuss
Correct Answer: "I am a boy\n\0"
Explanation:
Declaration: char *fgets(char *s, int n, FILE *stream);fgets reads characters from stream into the string s. It stops when it reads either n - 1 characters or a newline character, whichever comes first.
Therefore, the string str contain "I am a boy\n\0"

Options- A. Address of i
Address of j - B. 10

Correct Answer: Error: cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const int **' to 'int **'
- 8. What will be the output of the program (in Turbo C)?
#include<stdio.h> int fun(int *f) { *f = 10; return 0; } int main() { const int arr[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; printf("Before modification arr[3] = %d", arr[3]); fun(&arr[3]); printf("\nAfter modification arr[3] = %d", arr[3]); return 0; }
Options- A. Before modification arr[3] = 4
After modification arr[3] = 10 - B. Error: cannot convert parameter 1 from const int * to int *
- C. Error: Invalid parameter
- D. Before modification arr[3] = 4
After modification arr[3] = 4
Discuss
Correct Answer: Before modification arr[3] = 4
After modification arr[3] = 10
Explanation:
Step 1: const int arr[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; The constant variable arr is declared as an integer array and initialized toarr[0] = 1, arr[1] = 2, arr[2] = 3, arr[3] = 4, arr[4] = 5
Step 2: printf("Before modification arr[3] = %d", arr[3]); It prints the value of arr[3] (ie. 4).
Step 3: fun(&arr[3]); The memory location of the arr[3] is passed to fun() and arr[3] value is modified to 10.
A const variable can be indirectly modified by a pointer.
Step 4: printf("After modification arr[3] = %d", arr[3]); It prints the value of arr[3] (ie. 10).
Hence the output of the program is
Before modification arr[3] = 4
After modification arr[3] = 10
- 9. What will be the output of the program?
#include<stdio.h> int get(); int main() { const int x = get(); printf("%d", x); return 0; } int get() { return 20; }
Options- A. Garbage value
- B. Error
- C. 20
- D. 0 Discuss
Correct Answer: 20
Explanation:
Step 1: int get(); This is the function prototype for the funtion get(), it tells the compiler returns an integer value and accept no parameters.Step 2: const int x = get(); The constant variable x is declared as an integer data type and initialized with the value "20".
The function get() returns the value "20".
Step 3: printf("%d", x); It prints the value of the variable x.
Hence the output of the program is "20".
- 10. What will be the output of the program?
#include<stdio.h> int main() { int y=128; const int x=y; printf("%d\n", x); return 0; }
Options- A. 128
- B. Garbage value
- C. Error
- D. 0 Discuss
Correct Answer: 128
Explanation:
Step 1: int y=128; The variable 'y' is declared as an integer type and initialized to value "128".Step 2: const int x=y; The constant variable 'x' is declared as an integer and it is initialized with the variable 'y' value.
Step 3: printf("%d\n", x); It prints the value of variable 'x'.
Hence the output of the program is "128"
