What will be the output of the program? #include #include int main() { float n=1.54; printf("%f, %f\n", ceil(n), floor(n)); return 0; }
- A.
2.000000, 1.000000
- B.
1.500000, 1.500000
- C.
1.550000, 2.000000
- D.
1.000000, 2.000000
Correct Answer
A. 2.000000, 1.000000Explanation
The program uses the ceil() and floor() functions to calculate the ceiling and floor values of the variable n, which is initialized as 1.54. The ceil() function returns the smallest integer that is greater than or equal to the given value, while the floor() function returns the largest integer that is less than or equal to the given value. In this case, the ceil() function will round up 1.54 to 2.000000, and the floor() function will round down 1.54 to 1.000000. Therefore, the output of the program will be "2.000000, 1.000000".Rate this question:

- D.
Error
Correct Answer
C. 2.250000e+000, 2.250000, 2.25, 2.250000Explanation
The program will output the number "2.250000e+000" in scientific notation, followed by "2.250000" with six decimal places, then "2.25" in standard notation, and finally "2.250000" with six decimal places again. This is because the first printf statement uses the "%e" format specifier, which prints the number in scientific notation. The second printf statement uses the "%f" format specifier, which prints the number with six decimal places. The third printf statement uses the "%g" format specifier, which automatically chooses between scientific notation and standard notation depending on the magnitude of the number. The fourth printf statement uses the "%lf" format specifier, which is the same as "%f" but is used for double precision floating point numbers.Rate this question:

What will be the output of the program (Turbo C in 16-bit platform DOS)? #include #include int main() { char *str1 = "India"; char *str2 = "BIX"; char *str3; str3 = strcat(str1, str2); printf("%s %s\n", str3, str1); return 0; }
- A.
IndiaBIX India
- B.
IndiaBIX IndiaBIX
- C.
India India
- D.
Error
Correct Answer
B. IndiaBIX IndiaBIXExplanation
The program is using the strcat() function to concatenate str2 at the end of str1. However, str1 is a string literal and is stored in read-only memory. Trying to modify a string literal results in undefined behavior. In this case, it seems that the program is able to concatenate str2 with str1, but it is not guaranteed to work correctly. The output of the program is "IndiaBIX IndiaBIX", but it could have been different or even resulted in an error.Rate this question:

Point out the error in the following program. #include void display(int (*ff)()); int main() { int show(); int (*f)(); f = show; display(f); return 0; } void display(int (*ff)()) { (*ff)(); } int show() { printf("IndiaBIX"); }
- A.
Error: invalid parameter in function display()
- B.
Error: invalid function call f=show;
- C.
No error and prints "IndiaBIX"
- D.
No error and prints nothing.
Correct Answer
C. No error and prints "IndiaBIX"Explanation
The program does not have any errors and will print "IndiaBIX". The function display() takes a function pointer as a parameter and calls the function using the pointer. In the main() function, the function show() is declared and assigned to the function pointer f. The display() function is then called with the function pointer as an argument, which will execute the show() function and print "IndiaBIX".Rate this question:

- B.
200
- C.
Error: L value required for b
- D.
Garbage value
Correct Answer
C. Error: L value required for bExplanation
The error in the program is that the ternary operator is trying to assign a value to a variable (b) that is not an l-value. An l-value refers to a location in memory that can be assigned a value. In this case, the ternary operator is trying to assign a value to b, but b does not have a memory location. To fix this error, the variable b should be declared before the ternary operator statement.Rate this question:

- D.
1, 0, 1, 1
Correct Answer
D. 1, 0, 1, 1Explanation
The program first evaluates the logical OR operation between i, j, and k. Since i is non-zero, the result of this operation is 1.
Next, the program evaluates the logical AND operation between i, j, and k. Since j is negative, the result of this operation is 0.
Then, the program evaluates the logical OR operation between i and the logical AND operation between j and k. Since i is non-zero and j is negative, the result of this operation is 1.
Finally, the program evaluates the logical AND operation between i and j, and then the logical OR operation between the result and k. Since i is non-zero and j is negative, the result of this operation is 1.
Therefore, the output of the program is 1, 0, 1, 1.Rate this question:

Macros have a local scope.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Macros do not have a local scope. In programming, a local scope refers to a portion of code where variables and functions can only be accessed and used within that specific portion. However, macros are expanded by the preprocessor before the code is compiled, and they are not bound by any scope rules. Macros can be accessed and used throughout the entire program, making them have a global scope.Rate this question:

Is this a correct way for NULL pointer assignment? int i=0; char *q=(char*)i;
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
B. NoExplanation
No, this is not a correct way for NULL pointer assignment. In the given code, the variable "i" is of type int and it is being casted to a char pointer "q". This means that the value of "i" is being interpreted as a memory address, which is incorrect. A NULL pointer should be assigned using the literal value "NULL" or by assigning the address 0 to the pointer.Rate this question:

What will be the output of the program if the array begins at 65472 and each integer occupies 2 bytes? #include int main() { int a[3][4] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 3, 2, 1, 7, 8, 9, 0}; printf("%u, %u\n", a+1, &a+1); return 0; }

- B.
65480, 65496
- C.
65480, 65488
- D.
65474, 65488
Correct Answer
B. 65480, 65496Explanation
The output of the program will be 65480, 65496.
In the printf statement, we are printing the addresses of two different elements of the array.
- The expression "a+1" gives the address of the second element of the array, which is a[1][0]. Since each integer occupies 2 bytes, the address of a[1][0] will be 65472 + (1 * 2) = 65474.
- The expression "&a+1" gives the address of the next block of memory after the entire array. Since the array is a 3x4 matrix and each integer occupies 2 bytes, the size of the array is 3 * 4 * 2 = 24 bytes. Therefore, the address of the next block of memory will be 65472 + 24 = 65496.Rate this question:

What will be the output of the program ? #include #include int main() { char sentence[80]; int i; printf("Enter a line of text\n"); gets(sentence); for(i=strlen(sentence)-1; i >=0; i--) putchar(sentence[i]); return 0; }
- A.
The sentence will get printed in same order as it entered
- B.
The sentence will get printed in reverse order
- C.
Half of the sentence will get printed
- D.
None of above
Correct Answer
B. The sentence will get printed in reverse orderExplanation
The program prompts the user to enter a line of text and stores it in the character array "sentence". It then uses a for loop to iterate through the characters in the array in reverse order, starting from the last character (strlen(sentence)-1) and ending at the first character (i >= 0). Inside the loop, each character is printed using the putchar function. Therefore, the output of the program will be the sentence entered by the user, but in reverse order.Rate this question:

- A.
103 DotNet
- B.
103 PHP
- C.
102 Java
- D.
104 DotNet
Correct Answer
A. 103 DotNetExplanation
The program defines a structure called "course" with two members: courseno (an integer) and coursename (an array of characters). In the main function, an array of course structures called "c" is initialized with three elements, each containing a courseno and coursename.
The first printf statement prints the courseno of the second element in the array, which is 103.
The second printf statement prints the coursename of the third element in the array, using pointer arithmetic to access the member. It prints "DotNet", which is the coursename of the third element.
So, the output of the program will be "103 DotNet".Rate this question:

- A.
R n
- B.
Trh
- C.
Err
- D.
None of above
Correct Answer
B. TrhExplanation
The program opens a source file named "source.txt" and a target file named "target.txt". It then reads characters from the source file one by one using the getc() function. If the character is not the end of file (EOF), it moves the file pointer 4 positions ahead using fseek() and writes the character to the target file using fputc(). This process continues until the end of the source file is reached. Therefore, the contents of the "target.txt" file will be "Trh" which are the characters that were read and written from the source file.Rate this question:

- D.
1.7E-4932 to 1.7E+4932
Correct Answer
A. 3.4E-4932 to 1.1E+4932Explanation
The correct answer is 3.4E-4932 to 1.1E+4932. This range represents the valid values for a long double data type in Turbo C in a 16-bit DOS operating system. The lower limit of 3.4E-4932 indicates the smallest possible positive value that can be stored, while the upper limit of 1.1E+4932 represents the largest possible positive value. Any value outside of this range would not be considered a valid long double in this specific context.Rate this question:

- B.
It converts a number to its equivalent binary.
- C.
It converts a number to its equivalent hexadecimal.
- D.
It converts a number to its equivalent octal.
Correct Answer
A. It converts a number to a given baseExplanation
The program provided is a function called "fun" that takes a number and a base as input and converts the number to the given base. The function uses a static character array "buff" with a size of 33 to store the converted number. It then uses a pointer "ptr" to point to the last element of "buff" and assigns a null character '\0' to it. The function then uses a do-while loop to iterate through the number and convert it to the given base by using the remainder of the number divided by the base to access the corresponding character in the string "0123456789abcdef". The converted number is stored in reverse order in "buff". Finally, the function returns the pointer "ptr" which points to the converted number. Therefore, the correct answer is "It converts a number to a given base".Rate this question:

Myworld(note: spaces to the left of myworld)
- C.
Myworld (note:followed by two spaces after myworld)
- D.

Correct Answer
B. Myworld(note: spaces to the left of myworld)Explanation
The code uses the printf function to print the string "myworld" with a specified width of 9 characters. The * in the format specifier %*s is used to specify the width as an argument. Since the width is set to 9, the output will have 9 characters. However, since the string "myworld" only has 7 characters, there will be 2 spaces added to the left of the string to fill the remaining width. Therefore, the output will be " myworld" with 2 spaces before "myworld".Rate this question:

char str[] = “Best C programming classes by Sanfoundry”;
- C.
Char str[20] = “Best C programming classes by Sanfoundry”;
- D.
Char[] str = “Best C programming classes by Sanfoundry”;
Correct Answer
D. Char[] str = “Best C programming classes by Sanfoundry”;Explanation
The correct answer is "char[] str = “Best C programming classes by Sanfoundry”;". This declaration is illegal because when declaring an array, the size of the array must be specified. In this declaration, the size of the array is missing, which makes it invalid.Rate this question:

Comment on the output of this C code? #include struct temp { int a; int b; int c; }; main() { struct temp p[] = {{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9}}; }
- A.
No Compile time error, generates an array of structure of size 3
- B.
No Compile time error, generates an array of structure of size 9
- C.
Compile time error, illegal declaration of a multidimensional array
- D.
Compile time error, illegal assignment to members of structure
Correct Answer
A. No Compile time error, generates an array of structure of size 3Explanation
The given C code does not have any compile time errors and it generates an array of structure of size 3. The struct temp has three members: a, b, and c. The main function declares an array of struct temp called p and initializes it with three elements, each containing values for a, b, and c. Therefore, the code will compile successfully and create an array of structure of size 3.Rate this question:

- D.
0
Correct Answer
D. 0Explanation
The code defines an empty structure called "student" and creates an array of two "student" objects called "s". The sizeof operator is then used to determine the size of the "s" array, which is 0. This is because the structure "student" has no members, so it does not occupy any memory. Therefore, the output of the code is 0.Rate this question:

What is the output of this C code? #include int *f(); int main() { int *p = f(); printf("%d\n", *p); } int *f() { int *j = (int*)malloc(sizeof(int)); *j = 10; return j; }
- A.
10
- B.
Compile time error
- C.
Segmentation fault/runtime crash since pointer to local variable is returned
- D.
Undefined behaviour
Correct Answer
A. 10Explanation
The output of this C code is 10. The function `f()` is called in the `main()` function and it returns a pointer to an integer. Inside the `f()` function, memory is allocated for an integer using `malloc()`, and the value 10 is assigned to it. This memory location is then returned and assigned to the pointer variable `p` in the `main()` function. The value of the integer pointed to by `p` is then printed, which is 10.Rate this question:

Which of the following causes an error?
- A.
Trying to read a file that doesn’t exist
- B.
Inability to write data in a file.
- C.
Failure to allocate memory with the help of malloc
- D.
All of the menioned
Correct Answer
D. All of the menionedExplanation
All of the mentioned options can cause an error. Trying to read a file that doesn't exist will result in a file not found error. Inability to write data in a file can occur due to insufficient permissions or a full disk. Failure to allocate memory with malloc can lead to a memory allocation error, especially if there is not enough memory available. Therefore, all of these situations can cause errors.Rate this question:

No differences
- D.
Depends on the standard
Correct Answer
B. %e always formats in the format [-]m.dddddd or [-]m.dddddE[+|-]xx where no.of ds are optional and output formatting depends on the argument.Explanation
The correct answer is that %e always formats in the format [-]m.dddddd or [-]m.dddddE[+|-]xx where no.of ds are optional and output formatting depends on the argument. This means that %e will display the number in scientific notation, with the option to specify the number of decimal places. The output formatting will vary based on the argument provided.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Compile time errorExplanation
The code will result in a compile time error because the variable "ch" is declared as a double, but the switch statement only accepts integer values. Since the input is expected to be a decimal value between 1 and 2, it cannot be directly used in the switch statement.Rate this question:

- A.
1
- B.
Compile time error
- C.
2
- D.
Run time error
Correct Answer
B. Compile time errorExplanation
The code will result in a compile time error because the switch statement is comparing a char pointer (ch) with string literals ("1" and "2"). In C, string literals are represented as arrays of characters, so they cannot be directly compared with a char pointer. To fix this error, the code should use single quotes ('1' and '2') instead of double quotes when comparing characters.Rate this question:

- A.
Segmentation fault
- B.
Garbage
- C.
Error
- D.
Welcome
Correct Answer
D. WelcomeExplanation
The output of this C code is "welcome". The code first allocates memory of size 100 bytes using the calloc function and assigns the address of the allocated memory to the pointer variable p. However, the code then reassigns the pointer p to point to the string "welcome". So, when the printf function is called to print the value of p, it will print the string "welcome".Rate this question:

C preprocessors can have compiler specific features.
- A.
True
- B.
False
- C.
Depends on the standard
- D.
Depends on the platform
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
C preprocessors can have compiler specific features because preprocessors are part of the compiler and are responsible for performing text substitution before the actual compilation process begins. Different compilers may have their own specific features and extensions that can be used in the preprocessing stage. These features can include conditional compilation, macro expansion, and file inclusion, among others. Therefore, the statement is true.Rate this question:

What is the output of the code given below? #include int main() { printf("%d ", 1); goto l1; printf("%d ", 2); l1:goto l2; printf("%d ", 3); l2:printf("%d ", 4); }
- A.
1 4
- B.
Compilation error
- C.
1 2 4
- D.
1 3 4
Correct Answer
A. 1 4Explanation
The code starts by printing "1" using the printf() function. Then, it encounters a goto statement which jumps to the label "l1". This means that the code after the goto statement is skipped. After jumping to "l1", it encounters another goto statement which jumps to the label "l2". Again, the code after this goto statement is skipped. Finally, it reaches the printf() statement which prints "4". Therefore, the output of the code is "1 4".Rate this question:

- D.
Compile time error
Correct Answer
D. Compile time errorExplanation
The code will result in a compile time error because the switch statement is using variables a and b as case values, which are declared as const. In C, the case values in a switch statement must be constant expressions, and variables declared as const do not qualify as constant expressions. Therefore, the code will not compile.Rate this question:

Some garbage value
Correct Answer
C. 0Explanation
The output of this C code is 0. This is because the variable "a" is an array of pointers to integers, and it is initialized with the addresses of variables "i" and "j". When we access the value at index 0 of "a" using *a[0], it gives us the value stored at the address of "i", which is 0.Rate this question:

Compile time error
Correct Answer
D. Compile time errorExplanation
The given code will result in a compile time error. The reason for this is that the "continue" statement is used outside of a loop. The "continue" statement is used to skip the rest of the current iteration of a loop and move to the next iteration. Since there is no loop present in the code, the "continue" statement is invalid and causes a compile time error.Rate this question:
