#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i = 1;
switch(i)
{
printf("Hello\n");
case 1:
printf("Hi\n");
break;
case 2:
printf("\nBye\n");
break;
}
return 0;
}
A.
Hello
Hi
B.
Hello
Bye
C.
Hi
D.
Bye
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
switch(i) has the variable i it has the value '1'(one).

Then case 1: statements got executed. so, it prints "Hi". The break; statement make the
program to be exited from switch-case statement.
switch-case do not execute any statements outside these blocks case and default
Hence the output is "Hi".

Step 1: int get(); This is the function prototype for the funtion get(), it tells the compiler
returns an integer value and accept no parameters.
Step 2: const int x = get(); The constant variable x is declared as an integer data type
and initialized with the value "20".
The function get() returns the value "20".
Step 3: printf("%d", x); It prints the value of the variable x.
Hence the output of the program is "20".

return 0;
}
A.
12, 12
B.
7, 7
C.
7, 12
D.
12, 7
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Step 1: int i=3, j=4, k, l; The variables i, j, k, l are declared as an integer type and
variable i, j are initialized to 3, 4 respectively.
The function addmult(i, j); accept 2 integer parameters.
Step 2: k = addmult(i, j); becomes k = addmult(3, 4)
In the function addmult(). The variable kk, ll are declared as an integer type int kk, ll;
kk = ii + jj; becomes kk = 3 + 4 Now the kk value is '7'.

ll = ii * jj; becomes ll = 3 * 4 Now the ll value is '12'.
return (kk, ll); It returns the value of variable ll only.
The value 12 is stored in variable 'k'.
Step 3: l = addmult(i, j); becomes l = addmult(3, 4)
kk = ii + jj; becomes kk = 3 + 4 Now the kk value is '7'.

ll = ii * jj; becomes ll = 3 * 4 Now the ll value is '12'.
return (kk, ll); It returns the value of variable ll only.
The value 12 is stored in variable 'l'.
Step 4: printf("%d, %d\n", k, l); It prints the value of k and l
Hence the output is "12, 12".

switch(i)
{
printf("Thisiscprogram.");
case 1:
printf("Case1");

A.
Error: No default specified
B.
Error: Invalid printf statement after switch statement
C.
No Error and prints "Case1"
D.
None of above
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
switch(i) becomes switch(1), then the case 1: block is get executed. Hence it prints
"Case1".
printf("This is c program."); is ignored by the compiler.

Hence there is no error and prints "Case1".

The prototypes of all standard library string functions are declared in the file string.h.
A.
Yes

Which of the following statements are correct about the below C-program?
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int x = 10, y = 100%90, i;
for(i=1; i<10; i++)
if(x != y);
printf("x=%dy=%d\n", x, y);
return 0;
}
1:
The printf() function is called 10 times.
2:
The program will produce the output x = 10 y = 10
3:
The ; after the if(x!=y) will NOT produce an error.
4:
The program will not produce output.

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int k, num=30;
k = (num>5 ? (num <=10 ? 100 : 200): 500);
printf("%d\n", num);
return 0;
}
A.
200
B.
30
C.
100
D.
500
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Step 1: int k, num=30; here variable k and num are declared as an integer type and
variable num is initialized to '30'.
Step 2: k = (num>5 ? (num <=10 ? 100 : 200): 500); This statement does not affect
the output of the program. Because we are going to print the variable num in the next statement.
So, we skip this statement.
Step 3: printf("%d\n", num); It prints the value of variable num '30'
Step 3: Hence the output of the program is '30'

scanf : floating point formats not linked
Abnormal program termination
The program terminates abnormally at the time of entering the float value for e[i].sal.
Solution:
Just add the following function in your program. It will force the compiler to include required
libraries for handling floating point linkages.
static void force_fpf() /* A dummy function */
{
float x, *y; /* Just declares two variables */
y = &x;
/* Forces linkage of FP formats */
x = *y;
/* Suppress warning message about x */

Which of the following statements are correct about an array?
1:
The array int num[26]; can store 26 elements.
2:
The expression num[1] designates the very first element in the array.
3:
It is necessary to initialize the array at the time of declaration.
4:
The declaration num[SIZE] is allowed if SIZE is a macro.

A.
B.
1,4
C.
2,3
D.
2,4
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
1. The array int num[26]; can store 26 elements. This statement is true.
2. The expression num[1] designates the very first element in the array. This statement is false,
because it designates the second element of the array.
3. It is necessary to initialize the array at the time of declaration. This statement is false.
4. The declaration num[SIZE] is allowed if SIZE is a macro. This statement is true, because the
MACRO just replaces the symbol SIZE with given value.
Hence the statements '1' and '4' are correct statements.

#include<stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
char text[] = "IlearnthroughIndiaBIX.com";
char *ptr, c = 'i';
ptr = strrchr(text, c);

if (ptr)

If char=1, int=4, and float=4 bytes size, What will be the output of the program ?
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
char ch = 'A';
printf("%d,%d,%d", sizeof(ch), sizeof('A'), sizeof(3.14f));
return 0;
}
A.
1, 2, 4
B.
1, 4, 4
C.
2, 2, 4
D.
2, 4, 8
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Step 1: char ch = 'A'; The variable ch is declared as an character type and initialized with
value 'A'.
Step 2:
printf("%d, %d, %d", sizeof(ch), sizeof('A'), sizeof(3.14));

The sizeof function returns the size of the given expression.
sizeof(ch) becomes sizeof(char). The size of char is 1 byte.

sizeof('A') becomes sizeof(65). The size of int is 4 bytes (as mentioned in the question).
sizeof(3.14f). The size of float is 4 bytes.
Hence the output of the program is 1, 4, 4

}
A.
Kagpur, Kanpur
B.
Nagpur, Kanpur
C.
Kagpur, anpur
D.
Error
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
The statement str = "Kanpur"; generates the LVALUE required error. We have to use strcpy
function to copy a string.
To remove error we have to change this statement str = "Kanpur"; to strcpy(str,
"Kanpur");
The program prints the string "anpur"
