What is the output of C Program with functions.? void show(); int main() { show(); printf("ARGENTINA "); return 0; } void show() { printf("AFRICA "); }
-
ARGENTINA, AFRICA
-
AFRICA, ARGENTINA
-
ARGENTINA
-
Compiler error
Correct Answer
A. AFRICA, ARGENTINAExplanation
The correct answer is "AFRICA, ARGENTINA". In this program, the function show() is called before the printf() statement in the main function. So, when the program is executed, the show() function is called first and it prints "AFRICA". Then, the printf() statement in the main function prints "ARGENTINA". Therefore, the output of the program is "AFRICA, ARGENTINA".Rate this question:

How many values can a C Function return at a time.?
-
Only One Value
-
Maximum of two values
-
Maximum of three values
-
Maximum of 8 values
Correct Answer
A. Only One ValueExplanation
A C function can only return one value at a time. This is because the return statement in C can only return a single value. If multiple values need to be returned, they can be packed into a data structure such as an array or a struct, and then the function can return that data structure.Rate this question:

-
PISTA COUNT=
-
PISTA COUNT=0
-
PISTA COUNT=10
-
Compiler error
Correct Answer
A. PISTA COUNT=10Explanation
The correct answer is "PISTA COUNT=10". In the given code, the function "show()" is defined and it returns the value 10. In the main function, the variable "a" is assigned the value returned by the "show()" function, which is 10. Then, the printf statement prints the value of "a", which is 10, after the string "PISTA COUNT=". Therefore, the output of the program is "PISTA COUNT=10".Rate this question:

What is the output of C Program with pointers.? int main() { int a = 4; int *p; p=&a; while(*p > 0) { printf("%d ", *p); (*p)--; } return 0; }
-
0, 0, 0, 0
-
4, 4, 4, 4
-
4 3 2 1
-
Compiler error
Correct Answer
A. 4 3 2 1Explanation
The given C program initializes an integer variable 'a' with the value 4 and declares a pointer variable 'p'. The pointer 'p' is then assigned the address of 'a'.
The while loop condition checks if the value pointed to by 'p' is greater than 0. Inside the loop, the value pointed to by 'p' is printed using printf and then decremented by 1. This process continues until the value pointed to by 'p' becomes 0.
Therefore, the output of the program is "4 3 2 1", as the value of 'a' is decremented by 1 in each iteration of the loop.Rate this question:

-
INDIA CORONA
-
INDIA
-
CORONA
-
Compile Error
Correct Answer
A. INDIAExplanation
The correct answer is "INDIA" because the program only executes the printf statement before the first return statement. The printf statement "INDIA" is executed and printed to the console, and then the program exits with a return value of 1. The printf statement "CORONA" is never executed.Rate this question:

What is the C keyword that must be used to achieve expected result using Recursion.?
-
printf
-
scanf
-
void
-
return
Correct Answer
A. returnExplanation
The keyword "return" must be used to achieve the expected result using recursion. This is because recursion involves a function calling itself, and the result of each recursive call needs to be returned back to the previous call in order to continue the recursion. The "return" keyword allows the function to return a value back to the caller.Rate this question:

What is the output of C program.? int main() { int a[3] = {10,12,14}; int i=0; while(i<3) { printf("%d ", i[a]); i++; } }
-
14 12 10
-
10 10 10
-
10 12 14
-
None of these
Correct Answer
A. 10 12 14Explanation
The output of the program is "10 12 14" because the expression "i[a]" is equivalent to "a[i]". In each iteration of the while loop, the value of "i" is used as an index to access the corresponding element of the array "a". So, in the first iteration, "i" is 0 and "a[0]" is 10, in the second iteration, "i" is 1 and "a[1]" is 12, and in the third iteration, "i" is 2 and "a[2]" is 14. Therefore, the program prints "10 12 14" as the output.Rate this question:

What is the need for C arrays.?
-
You need not create so many separate variables and get confused while using.
-
Using a single Array variable, you can access all elements of the array easily.
-
Code maintainability is easy for programmers and maintainers.
-
All of these
Correct Answer
A. You need not create so many separate variables and get confused while using.Explanation
C arrays are used to store multiple values of the same data type in a single variable. By using arrays, we can avoid the need to create multiple separate variables, which can lead to confusion while using them. Instead, we can access all elements of the array easily using a single array variable. This improves code maintainability for programmers and maintainers as it reduces the number of variables and simplifies the code structure. Therefore, the need for C arrays is to simplify variable management and improve code maintainability.Rate this question:

What is a multidimensional array in C Language.?
-
It is like a matrix or table with rows and columns
-
It is an array of arrays
-
To access 3rd tow 2nd element use ary[2][1] as the index starts from 0 row or column
-
All of these
Correct Answer
A. All of theseExplanation
A multidimensional array in C language is an array of arrays. It is like a matrix or table with rows and columns. To access a specific element in the multidimensional array, we use the syntax ary[row][column], where the index starts from 0 for both rows and columns. Therefore, to access the 3rd row and 2nd element, we would use ary[2][1]. So, the correct answer is "All of these" because all the statements mentioned are true regarding multidimensional arrays in C language.Rate this question:

-
2
-
None
Correct Answer
A. 2Explanation
When an integer array pointer is incremented, it skips the number of bytes equal to the size of an integer data type. In most systems, an integer data type occupies 4 bytes of memory. Therefore, when the pointer is incremented, it will skip 4 bytes to reach the next element location in the array.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 2Explanation
The dimension of the C array int ary[10][5] is 2. This is because the array has two dimensions, with the first dimension being 10 and the second dimension being 5. The first dimension represents the number of rows in the array, while the second dimension represents the number of columns. In this case, the array has 10 rows and 5 columns, making it a two-dimensional array.Rate this question:

What is the output of C Program with arrays.? int main() { static int ary[] = {1, 3, 5}; printf("%d %d", ary[-1], ary[5]); return 0; }
-
0, 0
-
-1, -1
-
Compiler error
-
None
Correct Answer
A. 0, 0Explanation
The program declares a static integer array "ary" with 3 elements: 1, 3, and 5. In the printf statement, it tries to access the elements at index -1 and index 5 of the array. However, both of these indices are out of bounds of the array. In C, accessing elements outside the bounds of an array results in undefined behavior. In this case, it happens to print the values 0 and 0, but this behavior is not guaranteed and may vary depending on the compiler and system.Rate this question:
