- Question
Which of the following statement obtains the remainder on dividing 5.5 by 1.3?
Options- A. rem = (5.5 % 1.3)
- B. rem = modf(5.5, 1.3)
- C. rem = fmod(5.5, 1.3)
- D. Error: we can't divide
- Correct Answer
- rem = fmod(5.5, 1.3)
Explanationfmod(x,y) - Calculates x modulo y, the remainder of x/y.
This function is the same as the modulus operator. But fmod() performs floating point divisions.Example:
#include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> int main () { printf ("fmod of 5.5 by 1.3 is %lf\n", fmod (5.5, 1.3) ); return 0; }Output:
fmod of 5.5 by 1.3 is 0.300000

- 1. What will be the output of the program?
#include<stdio.h> int main() { int x=4, y, z; y = --x; z = x--; printf("%d, %d, %d\n", x, y, z); return 0; }
Options- A. 4, 3, 3
- B. 4, 3, 2
- C. 3, 3, 2
- D. 2, 3, 3 Discuss
Correct Answer: 2, 3, 3
Explanation:
Step 1: int x=4, y, z; here variable x, y, z are declared as an integer type and variable x is initialized to 4.
Step 2: y = --x; becomes y = 3; because (--x) is pre-decrement operator.
Step 3: z = x--; becomes z = 3;. In the next step variable x becomes 2, because (x--) is post-decrement operator.
Step 4: printf("%d, %d, %d\n", x, y, z); Hence it prints "2, 3, 3".
- 2. Functions cannot return a floating point number
Options- A. Yes
- B. No Discuss
Correct Answer: No
Explanation:
A function can return floating point value.Example:
#include <stdio.h> float sub(float, float); /* Function prototype */ int main() { float a = 4.5, b = 3.2, c; c = sub(a, b); printf("c = %f\n", c); return 0; } float sub(float a, float b) { return (a - b); }Output:
c = 1.300000- 3. What will be the output of the program?
#include<stdio.h> int main() { int a=100, b=200, c; c = (a == 100 || b > 200); printf("c=%d\n", c); return 0; }
Options- A. c=100
- B. c=200
- C. c=1
- D. c=300 Discuss
Correct Answer: c=1
Explanation:
Step 1: int a=100, b=200, c;
Step 2: c = (a == 100 || b > 200);
becomes c = (100 == 100 || 200 > 200);
becomes c = (TRUE || FALSE);
becomes c = (TRUE);(ie. c = 1)
Step 3: printf("c=%d\n", c); It prints the value of variable i=1
Hence the output of the program is '1'(one).- 4. What will be the output of the program?
#include<stdio.h> int main() { int x=55; printf("%d, %d, %d\n", x<=55, x=40, x>=10); return 0; }
Options- A. 1, 40, 1
- B. 1, 55, 1
- C. 1, 55, 0
- D. 1, 1, 1 Discuss
Correct Answer: 1, 40, 1
Explanation:
Step 1: int x=55; here variable x is declared as an integer type and initialized to '55'.
Step 2: printf("%d, %d, %d\n", x<=55, x=40, x>=10);
In printf the execution of expressions is from Right to Left.
here x>=10 returns TRUE hence it prints '1'.
x=40 here x is assigned to 40 Hence it prints '40'.
x<=55 returns TRUE. hence it prints '1'.
Step 3: Hence the output is "1, 40, 1".- 5. What will be the output of the program?

- 10. What will you do to treat the constant 3.14 as a float?
Options- A. use float(3.14f)
- B. use 3.14f
- C. use f(3.14)
- D. use (f)(3.14) Discuss
Correct Answer: use 3.14f
Explanation:
Given 3.14 is a double constant.
To specify 3.14 as float, we have to add f to the 3.14. (i.e 3.14f)
