    The following C code reads from your keyboard (use getchar()) and writes to a file (use fputc() function) named "myfile.txt":_A_                                          //preprocessor declarationmain(){  char ch;  _B_                                       //declare the file pointer as: fp   _C_                                       //open the file for writing  if (fp=_D_){                             //get into the "printf" statement if the file cannot be opened    printf("Cannot open the file!\n");    exit(1);  }  ch = getchar();                        //get a character from keyboard  while ( _E_ ){                          //continue processing the input if &ltENTER> is not pressed    _F_                                     // write 1 character to the file    _G_                                    // get the next character from keyboard  } _H_                                 // close the file}What would be _H_ ?

    Explanation
    The correct answer for _H_ would be "fclose(fp)". This is because the code is closing the file that was opened for writing using the fopen function. The fclose function is used to close the file and release any resources associated with it.

    The following C code reads from your keyboard (use getchar()) and writes to a file (use fputc() function) named "myfile.txt":_A_                                          //preprocessor declarationmain(){  char ch;  _B_                                       //declare the file pointer as: fp   _C_                                       //open the file for writing  if (fp==_D_){                             //get into the "printf" statement if the file cannot be opened    printf("Cannot open the file!\n");    exit(1);  }  ch = getchar();                        //get a character from keyboard  while ( _E_ ){                          //continue processing the input if &ltENTER> is not pressed    _F_                                     // write 1 character to the file    _G_                                    // get the next character from keyboard  } _H_                                 // close the file}What would be _B_ ?

    Explanation
    The variable declaration in C code is done by specifying the data type followed by the variable name. In this case, the variable name is "fp" and the data type is "FILE *", which indicates that "fp" is a pointer to a FILE type. Therefore, the correct answer for _B_ is "FILE *fp;".

    The code below read from your keyboard input until an ENTER is pressed, convert any lower case letter to upper case, and then write it to a file:L1:  ch=getchar();    L2:  while (ch!='\n') {L3:      if (ch>='a' and ch<='z')L4:          ch=ch-'A'+'a';L5:      fputc(ch,fp); L6:      ch=getchar();L7:  }L8:  fclose(fp);Which line(s) is/are incorrect ?

    • L3,L4,L5

    • L3,L4,L7

    • L3,L4,L5,L7

    • L2,L3,L4,L5,L7

    Correct Answer
    A. L3,L4
    Explanation
    L3: Use '&&' instead of 'and' for C conditional statement.
    L4 should be ch=ch-'a'+'A';
    L7: ';' after a loop is optional

    The following C code reads from your keyboard (use getchar()) and writes to a file (use fputc() function) named "myfile.txt":_A_                                          //preprocessor declarationmain(){  char ch;  _B_                                       //declare the file pointer as: fp   _C_                                       //open the file for writing  if (fp=_D_){                             //get into the "printf" statement if &ltENTER> the file cannot be opened    printf("Cannot open the file!\n");    exit(1);  }  ch = getchar();                        //get a character from keyboard  while ( _E_ ){                          //continue processing the input if is not pressed    _F_                                     // write 1 character to the file    _G_                                    // get the next character from keyboard  } _H_                                 // close the file}What would be _F_ ?

    Correct Answer
    fputc(ch,fp);
    Explanation
    The correct answer for _F_ would be "fputc(ch,fp)". This is because the fputc() function is used to write a character to the file specified by the file pointer "fp". In this code, it is used to write the character "ch" to the file.

    • God created Ella

    • God createdElla

    • God created Hebe

    • God createdHebe

    • God created Hebeworld in 7 days.

    Correct Answer
    A. God created Hebe
    Explanation
    The fgets function reads at most one less than the number of characters specified by size from the given stream and stores them in the string str. Reading stops when a newline character is found, at end-of-file or error. The newline, if any, is retained. If any characters are read and there is no error, a '\0' character is appended to end the string.

    The correct code of previous question:L1:  ch=getchar();    L2:  while (ch!='\n') { L3:      if (ch>='a' && ch<='z') L4:          ch=ch-'a'+'A'; L5:      fputc(ch,fp); L6:      ch=getchar(); L7:  } L8:  fclose(fp);Right after execution of L8, a special character would be written automatically to the file (i.e. fp).  (a) What is the character ?   (b) What is the purpose of L8 ?

    • (a)'\n' (b)release the resources occupied by the program during file access, e.g. memory

    • (a)'\0' (b)release the resources occupied by the program during file access, e.g. memory

    • (a)EOF (b)release the resources occupied by the program during file access, e.g. disk storage

    • (a)'\0' (b)release the resources occupied by the program during file access, e.g. disk storage

    • (a)EOF (b)release the resources occupied by the program during file access, e.g. memory

    Correct Answer
    A. (a)EOF (b)release the resources occupied by the program during file access, e.g. memory
    Explanation
    (a) End-of-File
    (b) when a file is opened: file data from disk storage is -copied- to the RAM(memory). Memory is important resource for efficient running of the computer.

    The following C code reads from your keyboard (use getchar()) and writes to a file (use fputc() function) named "myfile.txt":_A_                                          //preprocessor declarationmain(){  char ch;  _B_                                       //declare the file pointer as: fp   _C_                                       //open the file for writing  if (fp=_D_){                             //get into the "printf" statement if the file cannot be opened    printf("Cannot open the file!\n");    exit(1);  }  ch = getchar();                        //get a character from keyboard  while ( _E_ ){                          //continue processing the input if &ltENTER> is not pressed    _F_                                     // write 1 character to the file    _G_                                    // get the next character from keyboard  } _H_                                 // close the file}What would be _G_ ?

    Correct Answer
    ch=getchar();
    Explanation
    The correct answer for _G_ would be "fputc(ch, fp)". This is because the code is using the fputc() function to write one character (stored in the variable ch) to the file pointed by the file pointer fp.

    Correct Answer
    fp=fopen("myfile.txt","w");
    Explanation
    _C_ would be "fp=fopen("myfile.txt","w");". This line of code opens the file named "myfile.txt" in write mode and assigns the file pointer to the variable "fp".

    Correct Answer
    ch!='\n'
    Explanation
    The condition for _E_ would be "ch!='\n'", which means that while the character read from the keyboard is not equal to a newline character, the loop will continue processing the input.
