  • What will be the output of the program?
    #include<stdio.h>
    int main()
    {
        char ch;
        ch = 'A';
        printf("The letter is");
        printf("%c", ch >= 'A' && ch <= 'Z'? ch + 'a' - 'A':ch);
        printf("Now the letter is");
        printf("%c\n", ch >= 'A' && ch <= 'Z'? ch : ch + 'a' - 'A');
        return 0;
    }
    


  • Options
  • A. The letter is a
    Now the letter is A
  • B. The letter is A
    Now the letter is a
  • C. Error
  • D. None of above

  • Correct Answer
  • The letter is a
    Now the letter is A 

    Explanation
    Step 1: char ch; ch = 'A'; here variable ch is declared as an character type an initialized to 'A'.

    Step 2: printf("The letter is"); It prints "The letter is".

    Step 3: printf("%c", ch >= 'A' && ch <= 'Z' ? ch + 'a' - 'A':ch);

    The ASCII value of 'A' is 65 and 'a' is 97.

    Here

    => ('A' >= 'A' && 'A' <= 'Z') ? (A + 'a' - 'A'):('A')

    => (TRUE && TRUE) ? (65 + 97 - 65) : ('A')

    => (TRUE) ? (97): ('A')

    In printf the format specifier is '%c'. Hence prints 97 as 'a'.

    Step 4: printf("Now the letter is"); It prints "Now the letter is".

    Step 5: printf("%c\n", ch >= 'A' && ch <= 'Z' ? ch : ch + 'a' - 'A');

    Here => ('A' >= 'A' && 'A' <= 'Z') ? ('A') : (A + 'a' - 'A')

    => (TRUE && TRUE) ? ('A') :(65 + 97 - 65)

    => (TRUE) ? ('A') : (97)

    It prints 'A'

    Hence the output is

    The letter is a
    Now the letter is A
