    ARRAYS AND POINTERS

    1. What will happen if in a C program you assign a value to an array element whose subscript exceeds the size of array? A.The element will be set to 0. B.The compiler would report an error. C.The program may crash if some important data gets overwritten. D.The array size would appropriately grow. Answer: Option C Explanation: If the index of the array size is exceeded, the program will crash. Hence "option c" is the correct answer. But the modern compilers will take care of this kind of errors.

    2. What does the following declaration mean? int (*ptr)[10]; A.ptr is array of pointers to 10 integers B.ptr is a pointer to an array of 10 integers C.ptr is an array of 10 integers D.ptr is an pointer to array Answer: Option B

    3. In C, if you pass an array as an argument to a function, what actually gets passed? A.Value of elements in array B.First element of the array C.Base address of the array D.Address of the last element of array Answer & Explanation

    Answer: Option C Explanation: The statement 'C' is correct. When we pass an array as a funtion argument, the base address of the array will be passed.

    4. What will be the output of the program ?


    #include<stdio.h> int main() { int a[5] = {5, 1, 15, 20, 25}; int i, j, m; i = ++a[1]; j = a[1]++; m = a[i++]; printf("%d, %d, %d", i, j, m); return 0; }

    A.2, 1, 15 C.3, 2, 15 Answer & Explanation Answer: Option C Explanation:

    B.1, 2, 5 D.2, 3, 20

    Step 1: int a[5] = {5, 1, 15, 20, 25}; The variable arr is declared as an integer array with a size of 5 and it is initialized to a[0] = 5, a[1] = 1, a[2] = 15, a[3] = 20, a[4] = 25 . Step 2: int i, j, m; The variable i,j,m are declared as an integer type. Step 3: i = ++a[1]; becomes i = ++1; Hence i = 2 and a[1] = 2

    Step 4: j = a[1]++; becomes j = 2++; Hence j = 2 and a[1] = 3. Step 5: m = a[i++]; becomes m = a[2]; Hence m = 15 and i is incremented by 1(i++ means 2++ so i=3) Step 6: printf("%d, %d, %d", i, j, m); It prints the value of the variables i, j, m Hence the output of the program is 3, 2, 15

    5. What will be the output of the program ?


    #include<stdio.h> int main() { static int a[2][2] = {1, 2, 3, 4}; int i, j; static int *p[] = {(int*)a, (int*)a+1, (int*)a+2}; for(i=0; i<2; i++) { for(j=0; j<2; j++) { printf("%d, %d, %d, %d\n", *(*(p+i)+j), *(*(j+p)+i), *(*(i+p)+j), *(*(p+j)+i)); } } return 0; }

    1, 1, 1, 1 2, 3, 2, 3 A. 3, 2, 3, 2 4, 4, 4, 4 1, 1, 1, 1 2, 2, 2, 2 C. 2, 2, 2, 2 3, 3, 3, 3 Answer & Explanation Answer: Option C

    1, 2, 1, 2 2, 3, 2, 3 B. 3, 4, 3, 4 4, 2, 4, 2 1, 2, 3, 4 2, 3, 4, 1 D. 3, 4, 1, 2 4, 1, 2, 3

    6. What will be the output of the program ?


    #include<stdio.h> int main() { void fun(int, int[]); int arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4}; int i; fun(4, arr); for(i=0; i<4; i++) printf("%d,", arr[i]); return 0; } void fun(int n, int arr[]) { int *p=0; int i=0; while(i++ < n) p = &arr[i]; *p=0; }

    A.2, 3, 4, 5 C.0, 1, 2, 3 Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B Explanation:

    B.1, 2, 3, 4 D.3, 2, 1 0

    Step 1: void fun(int, int[]); This prototype tells the compiler that the function fun() accepts one integer value and one array as an arguments and does not return anything. Step 2: int arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4}; The variable a is declared as an integer array and it is initialized to a[0] = 1, a[1] = 2, a[2] = 3, a[3] = 4 Step 3: int i; The variable i is declared as an integer type. Step 4: fun(4, arr); This function does not affect the output of the program. Let's skip this function. Step 5: for(i=0; i<4; i++) { printf("%d,", arr[i]); } The for loop runs untill the variable i

    is less than '4' and it prints the each value of array a. Hence the output of the program is 1,2,3,4

    7. What will be the output of the program ?


    #include<stdio.h> void fun(int **p); int main() { int a[3][4] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 3, 2, 8, 7, 8, 9, 0}; int *ptr; ptr = &a[0][0]; fun(&ptr); return 0; } void fun(int **p) { printf("%d\n", **p); }

    A.1 C.3 Answer & Explanation Answer: Option A Explanation:

    B.2 D.4

    Step 1: int a[3][4] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 3, 2, 8, 7, 8, 9, 0}; The variable a is declared as an multidimensional integer array with size of 3 rows 4 columns.

    Step 2: int *ptr; The *ptr is a integer pointer variable. Step 3: ptr = &a[0][0]; Here we are assigning the base address of the array a to the pointer variable *ptr. Step 4: fun(&ptr); Now, the &ptr contains the base address of array a. Step 4: Inside the function fun(&ptr); The printf("%d\n", **p); prints the value '1'. because the *p contains the base address or the first element memory address of the array a (ie. a[0]) **p contains the value of *p memory location (ie. a[0]=1). Hence the output of the program is '1'

    8. What will be the output of the program ?


    #include<stdio.h> int main() { static int arr[] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}; int *p[] = {arr, arr+1, arr+2, arr+3, arr+4}; int **ptr=p; ptr++; printf("%d, %d, %d\n", ptr-p, *ptr-arr, **ptr); *ptr++; printf("%d, %d, %d\n", ptr-p, *ptr-arr, **ptr); *++ptr;

    printf("%d, %d, %d\n", ptr-p, *ptr-arr, **ptr); ++*ptr; printf("%d, %d, %d\n", ptr-p, *ptr-arr, **ptr); return 0;

    0, 0, 0 1, 1, 1 A. 2, 2, 2 3, 3, 3 1, 1, 1 2, 2, 2 C. 3, 3, 3 3, 4, 4 Answer & Explanation Answer: Option C

    1, 1, 2 2, 2, 3 B. 3, 3, 4 4, 4, 1 0, 1, 2 1, 2, 3 D. 2, 3, 4 3, 4, 5

    9. What will be the output of the program in Turb C (under DOS)?


    #include<stdio.h> int main() { int arr[5], i=0; while(i<5) arr[i]=++i; for(i=0; i<5; i++) printf("%d, ", arr[i]); return 0; }

    A.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, C.0, 1, 2, 3, 4, Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B Explanation:

    B.Garbage value, 1, 2, 3, 4, D.2, 3, 4, 5, 6,

    Since C is a compiler dependent language, it may give different outputs at different

    platforms. We have given the TurboC Compiler (Windows) output. Please try the above programs in Windows (Turbo-C Compiler) and Linux (GCC Compiler), you will understand the difference better.

    10. What will be the output of the program ?


    #include<stdio.h> int main() { int arr[1]={10}; printf("%d\n", 0[arr]); return 0; }

    A.1 C.0 Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B Explanation:

    B.10 D.6

    Step 1: int arr[1]={10}; The variable arr[1] is declared as an integer array with size '2' and it's first element is initialized to value '10'(means arr[0]=10) Step 2: printf("%d\n", 0[arr]); It prints the first element value of the variable arr. Hence the output of the program is 10.

    11. What will be the output of the program if the array begins at address 65486?
    #include<stdio.h> int main() { int arr[] = {12, 14, 15, 23, 45}; printf("%u, %u\n", arr, &arr); return 0; }

    A.65486, 65488 C.65486, 65490 Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B Explanation:

    B.65486, 65486 D.65486, 65487

    Step 1: int arr[] = {12, 14, 15, 23, 45}; The variable arr is declared as an integer array and initialized. Step 2: printf("%u, %u\n", arr, &arr); Here, The base address of the array is 65486. => arr, &arr is pointing to the base address of the array arr. Hence the output of the program is 65486, 65486

    12. What will be the output of the program ?


    #include<stdio.h>

    int main() { float arr[] = {12.4, 2.3, 4.5, 6.7}; printf("%d\n", sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0])); return 0; }

    A.5 C.6 Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B Explanation:

    B.4 D.7

    The sizeof function return the given variable. Example: float a=10; sizeof(a) is 4 bytes Step 1: float arr[] = {12.4, 2.3, 4.5, 6.7}; The variable arr is declared as an floating point array and it is initialized with the values. Step 2: printf("%d\n", sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0])); The variable arr has 4 elements. The size of the float variable is 4 bytes. Hence 4 elements x 4 bytes = 16 bytes sizeof(arr[0]) is 4 bytes Hence 16/4 is 4 bytes Hence the output of the program is '4'.
