- Question
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
ExplanationStep 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

- 1. Which files will get closed through the fclose() in the following program?
#include<stdio.h> int main() { FILE *fs, *ft, *fp; fp = fopen("A.C", "r"); fs = fopen("B.C", "r"); ft = fopen("C.C", "r"); fclose(fp, fs, ft); return 0; }
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:
Extra parameter in call to fclose().- 2. Which of the following are unary operators in C?
1. ! 2. sizeof 3. ~ 4. &&
Options- A. 1, 2
- B. 1, 3
- C. 2, 4
- D. 1, 2, 3 Discuss
Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3
Explanation:
An operation with only one operand is called unary operation.
Unary operators:
! Logical NOT operator.
~ bitwise NOT operator.
sizeof Size-of operator.
&& Logical AND is a logical operator.
Therefore, 1, 2, 3 are unary operators.
- 3. Point out the error in the following program.
#include<stdio.h> #include<stdarg.h> void varfun(int n, ...); int main() { varfun(3, 7, -11.2, 0.66); return 0; } void varfun(int n, ...) { float *ptr; int num; va_start(ptr, n); num = va_arg(ptr, int); printf("%d", num); }
Options- A. Error: too many parameters
- B. Error: invalid access to list member
- C. Error: ptr must be type of va_list
- D. No error Discuss
Correct Answer: Error: ptr must be type of va_list
- 4. Macros with arguments are allowed
Options- A. True
- B. False Discuss
Correct Answer: True
Explanation:
True, A macro may have arguments.Example: #define CUBE(X)(X*X*X)
- 5. 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
- 6. What will be the output of the program?
#include<stdio.h> int main() { const int x=5; const int *ptrx; ptrx = &x; *ptrx = 10; printf("%d\n", x); return 0; }
Options- A. 5
- B. 10
- C. Error
- D. Garbage value Discuss
Correct Answer: Error
Explanation:
Step 1: const int x=5; The constant variable x is declared as an integer data type and initialized with value '5'.Step 2: const int *ptrx; The constant variable ptrx is declared as an integer pointer.
Step 3: ptrx = &x; The address of the constant variable x is assigned to integer pointer variable ptrx.
Step 4: *ptrx = 10; Here we are indirectly trying to change the value of the constant vaiable x. This will result in an error.
To change the value of const variable x we have to use *(int *)&x = 10;
- 7. What will be the output of the program?
#include<stdio.h> int fun(int **ptr); int main() { int i=10; const int *ptr = &i; fun(&ptr); return 0; } int fun(int **ptr) { int j = 223; int *temp = &j; printf("Before changing ptr = %5x\n", *ptr); const *ptr = temp; printf("After changing ptr = %5x\n", *ptr); return 0; }
Options- A. Address of i
Address of j - B. 10
223 - C. Error: cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const int **' to 'int **'
- D. Garbage value Discuss
Correct Answer: Error: cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const int **' to 'int **'
- 8. Point out the error in the program.
#include<stdio.h> int main() { const int x; x=128; printf("%d\n", x); return 0; }
Options- A. Error: unknown data type const int
- B. Error: const variable have been initialised when declared.
- C. Error: stack overflow in x
- D. No error Discuss
Correct Answer: Error: const variable have been initialised when declared.
Explanation:
A const variable has to be initialized when it is declared. later assigning the value to the const variable will result in an error "Cannot modify the const object".Hence Option B is correct
- 9. Point out the error in the program (in Turbo-C).
#include<stdio.h> #define MAX 128 int main() { const int max=128; char array[max]; char string[MAX]; array[0] = string[0] = 'A'; printf("%c %c\n", array[0], string[0]); return 0; }
Options- A. Error: unknown max in declaration/Constant expression required
- B. Error: invalid array string
- C. None of above
- D. No error. It prints A A Discuss
Correct Answer: Error: unknown max in declaration/Constant expression required
Explanation:
Step 1: A macro named MAX is defined with value 128Step 2: const int max=128; The constant variable max is declared as an integer data type and it is initialized with value 128.
Step 3: char array[max]; This statement reports an error "constant expression required". Because, we cannot use variable to define the size of array.
To avoid this error, we have to declare the size of an array as static. Eg. char array[10]; or use macro char array[MAX];
Note: The above program will print A A as output in Unix platform.

Options- A. i= FFE2 ptr=12 j=FFE4 ptr=24
- B. i= FFE4 ptr=10 j=FFE2 ptr=20
- C. i= FFE0 ptr=20 j=FFE1 ptr=30
