What will be output of following c code? #includeextern int x;int main(){ do{ do{ printf("%o",x); } while(!-2); } while(0); return 0;}int x=8;
- A.
8
- B.
10
- C.
18 8
- D.
Run time error
Correct Answer
B. 10Explanation
The code will output "10".
The code first declares an external variable "x" and initializes it to 8. Then, it enters a nested do-while loop. The inner do-while loop prints the value of "x" in octal format using the "%o" format specifier, which is 10 in octal representation. The inner loop will continue until the condition "!-2" is false, which is never as -2 is always true. The outer do-while loop will execute only once since the condition "while(0)" is false. Finally, the main function returns 0.Rate this question:

- D.
0
Correct Answer
C. 1Explanation
The code starts with i=2 and j=2. In the while loop condition, the expression i+1?--i:j++ is evaluated. Since i+1 is true (non-zero), --i is executed which decrements i by 1. The value of i is then printed as 1. The loop continues and the condition i+1?--i:j++ is evaluated again. This time, i+1 is false (zero), so j++ is executed which increments j by 1. However, the value of j is not printed. The loop ends and the output is 1.Rate this question:

What will be output of following c code? #include<stdio.h>int main(){ int x=011,i; for(i=0;i<x;i+=3){ printf("Start "); continue; printf("End"); } return 0;}
- A.
Start Start Start End
- B.
Start end Start End Start End
- C.
Start Start Start
- D.
Start End Start
Correct Answer
C. Start Start StartExplanation
The code declares an integer variable x and initializes it with the octal value 011, which is equivalent to decimal 9. The code then enters a for loop that starts from i=0 and increments i by 3 in each iteration. Inside the loop, it first prints "Start" and then continues to the next iteration without executing the remaining code. Therefore, the loop will run three times (i=0, i=3, and i=6), and "Start" will be printed three times. Hence, the output will be "Start Start Start".Rate this question:

- D.
Error
Correct Answer
B. 1 3Explanation
The code initializes variables i and j to the values 2 and 3 respectively. Inside the while loop, the condition --i && j++ is evaluated. Since i is decremented before the evaluation and it is initially 2, the condition becomes true. j is then incremented by 1, making it 4. The printf statement inside the loop prints the values of i and j, which are 1 and 4 respectively. Therefore, the output will be "1 4".Rate this question:

- C.
2 4
- D.
3 5
Correct Answer
C. 2 4Explanation
The code declares a static integer variable "i" without initializing it. It then enters a for loop where "i" is incremented twice before each iteration. The loop continues until "i" is equal to 4, at which point it breaks out of the loop.
In the first iteration, "i" is incremented to 1 and then to 2, so the first number printed is 2. In the second iteration, "i" is incremented to 3 and then to 4, so the second number printed is 4. After that, the loop breaks and the program ends. Therefore, the output will be "2 4".Rate this question:

What will be output of following c code? #include<stdio.h>int main(){ int i=1; for(i=0;i=-1;i=1) { printf("%d ",i); if(i!=1) break; } return 0;}
- A.
-1
- B.
Conditional error
- C.
1
- D.
0
Correct Answer
A. -1Explanation
The output of the given code will be -1.
In the for loop, the condition is set as "i=-1", which means that the loop will continue as long as i is equal to -1. However, since i is initially set to 1, the loop will not execute. Therefore, the program will directly move to the next line which is "return 0;". Hence, the output will be -1.Rate this question:

- D.
Runtime error
Correct Answer
B. Infinite loopsExplanation
The given C code contains an infinite loop because the for loop has no condition specified in the middle section. In C, if the middle section of the for loop is left empty, it is considered as true and the loop will continue indefinitely. Therefore, the output of this code will be an infinite loop printing the number 10 repeatedly.Rate this question:

5 2
- D.
6 6
Correct Answer
C. 5 2Explanation
The code includes a function called "r" which returns a static variable "num" that starts at 7 and decrements by 1 each time it is called. In the main function, the for loop calls the "r" function three times: once as the initialization expression, once as the condition expression, and once as the increment expression. Inside the loop, the "r" function is called again and its return value is printed using printf. The loop continues as long as the "r" function returns a non-zero value. Therefore, the output of the code will be 5 2, as the "r" function will return 5 and 2 in consecutive iterations.Rate this question:

- C.
1st 2nd 3rd * 2nd 3rd
- D.
1st 2nd 3rd * 1st 2nd 3rd
Correct Answer
B. 1st 2nd * 3rd 2nd * 3rdExplanation
The program starts with the "1st" being printed. Then, it enters the for loop where it checks the condition i < 2. Since i is initially 0, the condition is true and it proceeds to the next part of the condition which is printf("2nd"). After that, it prints "*", and then "3rd". Since the condition is still true, it goes back to the beginning of the loop and repeats the process. This time, it prints "2nd", "*", and "3rd" again. After this iteration, the condition i < 2 becomes false and the loop terminates. Therefore, the output is "1st 2nd * 3rd 2nd * 3rd".Rate this question:

Error
- D.
5
Correct Answer
B. 6Explanation
The correct answer is 6 because the for loop runs from 0 to 5 (inclusive) and increments the variable i by 1 each time. After the loop finishes, the value of i is 6. So when the printf statement is executed, it prints the value of i, which is 6.Rate this question:

What will be output of following c code? #include<stdio.h>int i=40;extern int i;int main(){ do{ printf("%d",i++); } while(5,4,3,2,1,0); return 0;}
- A.
Runtime error
- B.
40
- C.
40 40 40 40 40
- D.
40 41 42 43 44
Correct Answer
B. 40Explanation
The code will output "40" because the variable "i" is declared as an external variable and is initialized to 40. The do-while loop will execute once because the condition "5,4,3,2,1,0" evaluates to 0, which is false. Therefore, the printf statement will only be executed once, printing the value of "i" which is 40.Rate this question:

- B.
Runtime Error
- C.
0
- D.
Compile Time Error
Correct Answer
B. Runtime ErrorExplanation
The code is using a post-decrement operator (c--) in the while loop condition. This means that the value of c is first evaluated, and then decremented. In the first iteration of the loop, c is still 5, so the loop runs. However, after the first iteration, c becomes 4. Since the condition is evaluated after the decrement, the loop condition becomes false and the loop stops. However, the code tries to divide no by c, which results in a division by zero error, causing a runtime error.Rate this question:

How many times this loop will execute? #include<stdio.h>int main(){ char c=125; do printf("%d ",c); while(c++); return 0;}
- A.
Finite Times
- B.
Infinite Times
- C.
One time
- D.
Three times
Correct Answer
A. Finite TimesExplanation
The loop will execute a finite number of times because the condition for the loop to continue is "while(c++)", which means it will keep executing as long as the value of c is not zero. Initially, c is assigned the value of 125, so the loop will execute until c reaches zero. Since c is incremented by 1 in each iteration, it will take a finite number of iterations for c to reach zero. Therefore, the loop will execute a finite number of times.Rate this question:

What will be output of following c code? #include<stdio.h>int main(){ int x=123; int i={ printf("c" "++") }; for(x=0;x<=i;x++){ printf("%x ",x); } return 0;}
- A.
C ++ 0 1 2 3
- B.
Improper initialization of integer variable
- C.
123
- D.
C++ 0 1 2 3
Correct Answer
D. C++ 0 1 2 3Explanation
The code snippet initializes the variable 'x' with the value 123. The variable 'i' is declared with an improper initialization syntax, as it includes a printf statement within the curly braces. However, this does not affect the output of the code. The for loop runs from x=0 to i, which is the value of the uninitialized variable 'i' (which is undefined behavior). The loop prints the values of x in hexadecimal format, resulting in the output "c++ 0 1 2 3".Rate this question:

How many times will Hello be printed in the below program?#include <stdio.h> int main(){ int i = 1024; for (; i; i >>= 1) printf("Hello"); return 0;}
- A.
10
- B.
11
- C.
1024
- D.
2
Correct Answer
B. 11Explanation
The program uses a for loop to print "Hello" repeatedly. The loop condition is "i", which starts with a value of 1024. In each iteration of the loop, the value of "i" is right-shifted by 1. This means that the loop will continue as long as "i" is non-zero. Since the loop condition is not explicitly specified in the for loop, it will continue until "i" becomes zero. Therefore, the loop will iterate 11 times before "i" becomes zero, resulting in "Hello" being printed 11 times.Rate this question:

N = 9n = 8n = 7n= 6n = 5n = 4n = 3n = 2n = 1
- C.
N = 9n= 7n = 5n = 3n = 1
- D.
N = 9n= 6n = 3n =1
Correct Answer
A. Infinite LoopsExplanation
The given code will result in an infinite loop. This is because the condition in the for loop, "n!=0", will always be true since the value of n is decremented twice in each iteration (once in the loop itself and once in the printf statement). Therefore, the loop will continue indefinitely, printing "n = " followed by the current value of n, which starts at 9 and keeps decreasing by 2 in each iteration.Rate this question:

What will be the output of the program, if a short int is 2 bytes wide?#include<stdio.h>int main(){ short int i = 0; for(i<=5 && i>=-1; ++i; i>0) printf("%u,", i); return 0;}
- A.
1 ... 65535
- B.
Expression syntax error
- C.
No Output
- D.
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Correct Answer
A. 1 ... 65535Explanation
The program includes a for loop that initializes the short int variable i to 0. The loop condition checks if i is less than or equal to 5 and greater than or equal to -1. Since these conditions are always true, the loop will continue indefinitely. Inside the loop, the printf statement prints the value of i as an unsigned integer followed by a comma. The value of i will keep incrementing by 1 in each iteration. Since a short int is 2 bytes wide, it can store values from 0 to 65535. Therefore, the program will output the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on until it reaches the maximum value of 65535.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 3Explanation
In the given code, the value of i is checked 3 times. The do-while loop is executed at least once, and then the condition i < 3 is checked. Since the initial value of i is 0, the loop is executed 3 times before the condition becomes false. Therefore, the value of i is checked 3 times in the code.Rate this question:

Compile Time Error
- B.
Hi Hi
- C.
Hi
- D.
Varies
Correct Answer
A. Compile Time ErrorExplanation
The output of this C code is "Compile Time Error". This is because the condition in the do-while loop is i < 2, and since i is initialized to 2, the condition is false from the beginning. Therefore, the code inside the do block will never be executed. However, according to the C language syntax, the main function should have a return type of int, not void. Hence, there is a compile-time error in the code.Rate this question:

- B.
255 Times
- C.
256 Times
- D.
254 Times
Correct Answer
B. 255 TimesExplanation
The while loop will get executed 255 times because a short int is 2 bytes wide, which means it can store values from -32768 to 32767. In this code, the variable j starts at 1 and increments by 1 in each iteration of the while loop. The loop will continue executing until j becomes greater than 255. Therefore, the loop will run for j = 1, 2, 3, ..., 255, which is a total of 255 times.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 1 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 5Explanation
The given code segment contains two nested for loops. The outer loop iterates from 1 to 5, and the inner loop iterates from 1 to the value of the outer loop variable. Inside the inner loop, the value of the outer loop variable is printed followed by a tab character. After the inner loop completes, a newline character is printed.
Therefore, the code will print the numbers 1 to 5, with each number repeated as many times as its value. For example, 1 will be printed once, 2 will be printed twice, 3 will be printed three times, and so on. The final output will be: 1 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 5.Rate this question:
