  • What will be the output of the program?
    #include<stdio.h>
    int reverse(int);
    
    int main()
    {
        int no=5;
        reverse(no);
        return 0;
    }
    int reverse(int no)
    {
        if(no == 0)
            return 0;
        else
            printf("%d,", no);
        reverse (no--);
    }
    


  • Options
  • A. Print 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
  • B. Print 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
  • C. Print 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0
  • D. Infinite loop

  • Correct Answer
  • Infinite loop 

    Explanation
    Step 1: int no=5; The variable no is declared as integer type and initialized to 5.

    Step 2: reverse(no); becomes reverse(5); It calls the function reverse() with '5' as parameter.

    The function reverse accept an integer number 5 and it returns '0'(zero) if(5 == 0) if the given number is '0'(zero) or else printf("%d,", no); it prints that number 5 and calls the function reverse(5);.

    The function runs infinetely because the there is a post-decrement operator is used. It will not decrease the value of 'n' before calling the reverse() function. So, it calls reverse(5) infinitely.

    Note: If we use pre-decrement operator like reverse(--n), then the output will be 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Because before calling the function, it decrements the value of 'n'.
