What will be the output of the program?
#include<stdio.h> #include<math.h> int main() { printf("%d, %d, %d\n", sizeof(3.14f), sizeof(3.14), sizeof(3.14l)); return 0; }
Options- A. 4, 4, 4
- B. 4, 8, 8
- C. 4, 8, 10
- D. 4, 8, 12
- Correct Answer
- 4, 8, 10
Explanationsizeof(3.14f) here '3.14f' specifies the float data type. Hence size of float is 4 bytes.sizeof(3.14) here '3.14' specifies the double data type. Hence size of float is 8 bytes.
sizeof(3.14l) here '3.14l' specifies the long double data type. Hence size of float is 10 bytes.
Note: If you run the above program in Linux platform (GCC Compiler) it will give 4, 8, 12 as output. If you run in Windows platform (TurboC Compiler) it will give 4, 8, 10 as output. Because, C is a machine dependent language.

- 3. The preprocessor can trap simple errors like missing declarations, nested comments or mismatch of braces.
Options- A. True
- B. False Discuss
Correct Answer: False
Explanation:
False, the preprocessor cannot trap the errors, it only replaces the macro with the given expression. But the compiler will detect errors.- 4. It is necessary that a header files should have a .h extension?

- 9. 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".
- 10. 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
