  • Question
  • Point out the error in the following program.
    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<stdarg.h>
    
    int main()
    {
        void display(char *s, int num1, int num2, ...);
        display("Hello", 4, 2, 12.5, 13.5, 14.5, 44.0);
        return 0;
    }
    void display(char *s, int num1, int num2, ...)
    {
        double c;
        char s;
        va_list ptr;
        va_start(ptr, s);
        c = va_arg(ptr, double);
        printf("%f", c);
    }
    


  • Options
  • A. Error: invalid arguments in function display()
  • B. Error: too many parameters
  • C. Error: in va_start(ptr, s);
  • D. No error

  • Correct Answer
  • Error: in va_start(ptr, s); 

    Explanation
    We should have use va_start(ptr, num2);
