3. Rs 720 are to be distributed among A, B and C that half of A’s share is equal to
1/3rd of B’s share which is equal to 1/4th of C’s share. How much is the share of
C?
(1) Rs. 160

(2) Rs. 240
(3) Rs. 320
(4) Rs. 600
Answer: 3
Solution:
Let the shared of A, B and C be Rs.X, Rs.Y and Rs.Z respectively. Hence, we have
X/2 = Y/3 = Z/4 = k.
.·. X=2k, Y=3k, Z=4k.
X:Y:Z=2:3:4
C's share is Z = 4/(2+3+4) = 4/9 of 720 = 320. Ans(3)
4. A and B set out to meet each other from two places 165 km apart. A travels 15
km the first day, 14 km the second, 13 km the third and so on. B travels 10 km the
first day, 12 km the second, 14 km the third and so on. When will they meet?
(1) 5th day

(2) 6th day
(3) 7th day
(4) 8th day
Answer: 2
Solution:
A travels 15km, 14 km,13 km.... on respective days and B travels 10 km, 19 km, 14
km etc on respective days.
Total distance travelled by A = 15 + 14 + 13 +……n terms =n/2(31-n)
Total distance travelled byB = 10 + 12 + 14 +……n terms=n/2(18+2n)
Therefore, total distance = n/2[31-n] + n/2[18+2n] =165. Solving n = 6 days.
5. The following bar diagram shows the monthly expenditure of living in two
cities Delhi and Bombay on food, security, education, fuel, sanitation and
miscellaneous (in percentage). Study the graph carefully and answer the
following questions.
Image
What fraction of the total expenditure is spent on education in Delhi?
(1) 13/20(2) 2/3 (3) 9/13 (4) 1/5

Answer: 4
Solution: In Delhi 20% are spent for education that is 1/5th of the total
expenditure.
Image
If the total monthly expenditure to live in Bombay is Rs.10,000, then money spent
on security is
(1) Rs.200
(2) Rs.600
(3) Rs.2000
(4) Rs.6000
Answer: 3
Solution: In Bombay 20% of total expenditure are spent for security
Therefore 20% of Rs.10,000 = Rs.2000
Image
If the total annual expenditure to live in Delhi is Rs.30,000, then money spent on
food, security and sanitation is
(1) Rs.18500
(2) Rs.18000
(3) Rs.21000
(4) Rs.15000
Answer: 2
Solution: In Delhi percentage of money spent on food, security and sanitation =
30+15+15 = 60%
60% of total expenditure = 30,000*60/100 = Rs.18,000

13. A person starts multiplying consecutive positive integers from 40. How many
numbers should he multiply before the will have result that will end with 4
zeroes?
(1) 12 (2) 15 (3) 11 (4) 18
Answer: 3
Solution: 40 has a zero in it. 45 multiplied by an even number will lead to another
zero and 50 multiplied by an even number will lead to two more zeros. One has to
multiply numbers from 40 through 50. Hence 11 numbers.
14.When 242 is divided by a certain divisor the remainder obtained is 8. When

698 is divided by the same divisor the remainder obtained is 9. However, when
the sum of the two numbers 242 and 698 is divided by the divisor, the remainder
obtained is 4. What is the value of the divisor?
(1) 13 (2) 12 (3) 15 (4) 17
Answer: 1
Solution: Let the divisor be d.

When 242 is divided by the divisor, let the quotient be 'x' and we know that the
remainder is 8.
Therefore, 242 = xd + 8
Similarly, let y be the quotient when 698 is divided by d.
Then, 698 = yd + 9.
242 + 698 = 940 = xd + yd + 8 + 9
940 = xd + yd + 17
As xd and yd are divisible by d, the remainder when 940 is divided by d should
have been 17.
However, as the question states that the remainder is 4, it would be possible only
when 17/d leaves a remainder of 4.
If the remainder obtained is 4 when 17 is divided by d, then d has to be 13.

1. Two trains are travelling on parallel tracks in the same direction, at speed of 50
km/hr and 32 km/hr respectively. The faster train crosses the last boggy of the
slower train, measuring 18 m in 18 seconds. The length of the faster train is
(1) 144 m
(2) 0.072 km
(3) 720 m
(4) 1.44 km
Answer: 2
Solution:
Let the length of faster train be Xm => relative speed = 50 – 32 = 18km/hr,
Distance = (X + 18) m, Time = 18 sec => Speed = Distance / Time
=> 18 x 5/18 = (X + 18)/18 => X = 72 m = 0.072km. Ans. (2)
2. An Arab buys two horses, paying Rs. 5000 less for one than for the other. He
sells the dearer one at 20% gain and the cheaper one at 30% gain. If he gets Rs.
4000 less on the first than on the second, then the cost price of the second horse
is
(1) Rs. 10000

(2) Rs. 15000
(3) Rs. 20000
(4) Rs. 25000
Answer: 4
Solution:
Let cost price first be x. Then cost price of second is x+5000.
Total Selling price of first = 1.3 X.
Total selling price of second = (x +5000) 1.2 = 1.2x +6000.
Difference = 6000 - 0.1x = 4000. .·. 0.1x = 2000, => x= 20000.
Thus cost price of second = Rs.25000.

(1) 20 kmph
(2) 25 kmph
(3) 30 kmph
(4) 50 kmph
Answer: 1
Solution:
Let the original speed of the jeep be x kmph. => (100/X) – (100/(X+5)) = 1.
Solving this, we get x = 20 kmph. Ans. (1)
4. A trader purchases some glass jars for Rs.1400. Five of them were broken. If he
sold remaining at Rs.10 more than cost price, he got a profit of Rs.175. What was
cost price of one jar.
(1) Rs.20
(2) Rs.35
(3) Rs.45
(4) Rs.70
Answer: 2
Solution: Let us assume number of jars = x and cost of a jar = y
Given xy = 1400
(x-5)(y+10)=1575
x=1400/y
sub x in the equation
y2+45y-2800 = 0
x = -80 or 35
Therefore x=35

7. The table below shows the sale of personal computers & their average prices
over the years & the pie chart shows the break up of sales in 1987. Refer to the
graphs to answer the questions that follow.
YEAR AVERAGE NUMBER OF UNTTS SOLD AVERAGE PRICE

(Rs. '000)
1984 4000 80
1985 5700 65
1986 11800 15
1987 14100 25
1988 16000 30
Image
After 1988, if the total sales turnover increases every year by the same amount as
the average increase from 1984 to 1988, and price level increases by 20% over
the previous year, then how many units will be sold in 1990?
(1) 11700
(2) 13000
(3) 15700
(4) 17700
Answer: 2
Solution:
Sales turnover in 1988 = Rs.48 crore (from Q.35)
Sales turnover in 1984 = Rs.32 crore.
Average annual increase in sales turnover = Rs.16/4 = Rs.4 crore,
=> Sales turnover in 1990 = Rs.(48 + 2x4) = Rs.56 crore.
Also price of a computer in 1990 = Rs.30000 (1 + 20/100)2 = Rs.43200
Units sold in 1990 = (56 crore/43200) = Rs. 13000 nearly.

11. The average of 71 results is 48. If the average of the first 59 results is 46 and
that last 11 is 52. Find the 60th result.
(1) 132 (2) 122 (3) 134 (4) 128
Answer: 2
Solution: 71*48 = 59*46 + x + 11*52 => x = 122
Alternately, this can be solved by using the concepts of surpluses and deficits as:
2*59 (deficit) -* 11 (surplus) + 48 (average to be maintained by the 60 th
number)
= 118-44 + 48 = 122

Similar steps for all the gatekeepers.
Finally he will give 2 cakes to his friend.
90.There is a school with 100 students and correspondingly 100 lockers, all of
which start off closed. The first student opens every locker and the second
students closes every other locker starting with the second (2,4,6...etc..) . The 3rd
student changes the state of the lockers numbered (3,6,9.. etc.). The fourth
student changes the state of the lockers numbered (4,8,12.. etc..).. This continues
until all the 100 students passes along the lockers.. when all the 100 student is
done which locker is closed and which locker is in open condition?
when calculating for first 10 doors we come to know a pattern that the squared
numbered doors are open.Henceforth we come to a conclusion that squared
numbers from 1-100 i.e 1,4,9,16,25,36,49,64,81,100 will be open and the rest
doors will be closed.
91.What is the unit digit of 1 +9 +9^2 + 9^3 + .... 9^2773 ?

Solution
9^0=1
9^1=9
9^2=81 unit digit is 1
9^3=729 unit digit is 9
hence for odd powers unit digit is 9 and for even powers unit digit is 1
From 0 to 2773 number of terms= 2774
2774/2= 1387
so 1387 odd and 1387 even numbers.
so (1387*1)+(1387*9)= 1387+12483
here the unit digit is 7+3=10
hence the answer is 0
92.A 2 digit number is divided by the sum of digits then it gives square root of the
number. Find the 2 digit number.
Solution
Ans: 81
Let the the two digit number be xy
Given,
Xy / (x+y) =square root of xy
there are six ,2 digit whole square 16,25,36,49,64,81
So if we take 81
81/(8+1)=9
Square root of 81 is also 9
So the 2 digit number is 81
93.How many small cuboids of dimension 2m X 3m x 4 m can be accommodated

in a cube of side 22 m?
Solution
Arrange the cuboids along the 2m sides on an edge of the 22 m cube.
Total cuboida in a row = 22/2=11
No. of cuboids along the 3m edge = 22/3 ~= 7
No. of cuboids along the height of the cube = 22/4 ~= 5
So, total no. of cuboids = 11*7*5 = 385

Predict the Output Questions
1. int main()
{
char *ptr = "geeksforgeeks";
printf("%c\n", *&*&*ptr);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: g
Explanation: The operator * is used for dereferencing and the operator & is used
to get the address. These operators cancel effect of each other when used one
after another. We can apply them alternatively any no. of times. For example *ptr
gives us g, &*ptr gives address of g, *&*ptr again g, &*&*ptr address of g, and
finally *&*&*ptr gives ‘g’
2.int main()
{
char *ptr = "geeksforgeeks";
printf("%s\n", *&*&ptr);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: geeksforgeeks
3. #define square(x) x*x

int main()
{
int x;
x = 36/square(6);
printf("%d",x);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: 36
Explanation:
Preprocessor replaces square(6) by 6*6 and the expression becomes x = 36/6*6
and value of x is calculated as 36. If we want correct behavior from macro
square(x), we should declare it as
#define square(x) ((x)*(x)) /* Note that the expression
(x*x) will also fail for square(6-2) */
4. int main()
{
int x = 5;
int * const ptr = &x;
++(*ptr);
printf("%d", x);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: 6
Explananation:
int * const ptr —> ptr is constant pointer. You can change the value at the location
pointed by pointer p, but you can not change p to point to other location.
int const * ptr —> ptr is a pointer to a constant. You can change ptr to point other
variable. But you cannot change the value pointed by ptr.
Therefore above program works well because we have a constant pointer and we
are not changing ptr to point to any other location. We are only icrementing value
pointed by ptr.
5.int main()
{
int x = 5;
int const * ptr = &x;
++(*ptr);
printf("%d", x);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: Compile Time Error
6. #include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int n;
for(n = 7; n!=0; n--)
printf("n = %d", n--);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output:Above program goes in infinite loop because n is never zero when loop
condition (n != 0) is checked.
7.#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("%x", -1<<1);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output is dependent on the compiler. For 32 bit compiler it would be fffffffe and
for 16 bit it would be fffe.
8. # include <stdio.h>
# define scanf "%s Geeks For Geeks "
main()
{
printf(scanf, scanf);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: %s Geeks For Geeks Geeks For Geeks

Explanation: After pre-processing phase of compilation, printf statement will
become.
printf("%s Geeks For Geeks ", "%s Geeks For Geeks ");
Now you can easily guess why output is %s Geeks For Geeks Geeks For Geeks.
9.#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
enum {false, true};
int main()
{
int i = 1;
do
{
printf("%d\n", i);
i++;
if (i < 15)
continue;
} while (false);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: 1
Explanation: The do wile loop checks condition after each iteration. So after
continue statement, control transfers to the statement while(false). Since the
condition is false ‘i’ is printed only once.
10.char *getString()
{
char *str = "Nice test for strings";
return str;
}
int main()
{
printf("%s", getString());
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: “Nice test for strings”

The above program works because string constants are stored in Data Section
(not in Stack Section). So, when getString returns *str is not lost.
11.char *getString()
{
char str[] = "Will I be printed?";
return str;
}
int main()
{
printf("%s", getString());
getchar();
}
Output: Some garbage value

The above program doesn’t work because array variables are stored in Stack
Section. So, when getString returns values at str are deleted and str becomes
dangling pointer.
12.int main()
{
static int i=5;
if(--i){
main();
printf("%d ",i);
}
}
Output: 0 0 0 0
Explanation: Since i is a static variable and is stored in Data Section, all calls to
main share same i.
13.int main()
{
static int var = 5;
printf("%d ",var--);
if(var)
main();
}
Output: 5 4 3 2 1
Explanation: Same as previous question. The only difference here is, sequence of
calling main and printf is changed, therefore different output.
14.int main()
{
int x;
printf("%d",scanf("%d",&x));
/* Suppose that input value given
for above scanf is 20 */
return 1;
}
Output: 1
scanf returns the no. of inputs it has successfully read.
15.# include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
int i=0;
for(i=0; i<20; i++)
{
switch(i)
{
case 0:
i+=5;
case 1:
i+=2;
case 5:
i+=5;
default:
i+=4;
break;
}
printf("%d ", i);
}
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: 16 21
Explanation:
Initially i = 0. Since case 0 is true i becomes 5, and since there is no break
statement till last statement of switch block, i becomes 16. Now in next iteration
no case is true, so execution goes to default and i becomes 21.
16.#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("%d", main);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: Address of function main.
Explanation: Name of the function is actually a pointer variable to the function
and prints the address of the function.
int main()
{
printf("\new_c_question\by");
printf("\rgeeksforgeeks");
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: geeksforgeeksl
Explanation: First printf prints “ew_c_questioy”. Second printf has \r in it so it
goes back to start of the line and starts printing characters.
int main()
{
int i;
i = 1, 2, 3;
printf("i = %d\n", i);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: 1
int main()
{
int i;
i = (1, 2, 3);
printf("i = %d\n", i);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: 3
int main()
{
int first = 50, second = 60, third;
third = first /* Will this comment work? */ + second;
printf("%d /* And this? */ \n", third);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: 110 /* And this? */

Explanation: Compiler removes everything between “/*” and “*/” if they are not
present inside double quotes (“”).
21.#include‹stdio.h›
int main()
{
struct site
{
char name[] = "GeeksforGeeks";
int no_of_pages = 200;
};
struct site *ptr;
printf("%d",ptr->no_of_pages);
printf("%s",ptr->name);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output:
Compiler error
Explanation:
Note the difference between structure/union declaration and variable
declaration. When you declare a structure, you actually declare a new data type
suitable for your purpose. So you cannot initialize values as it is not a variable
declaration but a data type declaration.
22.int main()
{
char a[2][3][3] = {'g','e','e','k','s','f','o',
'r','g','e','e','k','s'};
printf("%s ", **a);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output:
geeksforgeeks
Explanation:
We have created a 3D array that should have 2*3*3 (= 18) elements, but we are
initializing only 13 of them. In C when we initialize less no of elements in an array
all uninitialized elements become ‘\0’ in case of char and 0 in case of integers.
23.int main()
{
char str[]= "geeks\nforgeeks";
char *ptr1, *ptr2;
ptr1 = &str[3];
ptr2 = str + 5;
printf("%c", ++*str - --*ptr1 + *ptr2 + 2);
printf("%s", str);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output:
heejs
forgeeks
Explanation:
Initially ptr1 points to ‘k’ and ptr2 points to ‘\n’ in “geeks\nforgeeks”. In print
statement value at str is incremented by 1 and value at ptr1 is decremented by 1.
So string becomes “heejs\nforgeeks” .
First print statement becomes
printf(“%c”, ‘h’ – ‘j’ + ‘n’ + 2)
‘h’ – ‘j’ + ‘\n’ + 2 = -2 + ‘\n’ + 2 = ‘\n’
First print statements newline character. and next print statement prints
“heejs\nforgeeks”.
int fun(int n)
{
int i, j, sum = 0;
for(i = 1;i<=n;i++)
for(j=i;j<=i;j++)
sum=sum+j;
return(sum);
}
int main()
{
printf("%d", fun(15));
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: 120
Explanation: fun(n) calculates sum of first n integers or we can say it returns
n(n+1)/2.
int main()
{
int c = 5, no = 1000;
do {
no /= c;
} while(c--);
printf ("%d\n", no);

return 0;
}
Output: Exception – Divide by zero

Explanation: There is a bug in the above program. It goes inside the do-while loop
for c = 0 also. Be careful when you are using do-while loop like this!!
26.int main()
{
while(1){
if(printf("%d",printf("%d")))
break;
else
continue;
}
return 0;
}
Output:
Can’t be predicted
Explanation:
The condition in while loop is 1 so at first shot it looks infinite loop. Then there
are break and continue in the body of the while loop, so it may not be infinite
loop. The break statement will be executed if the condition under if is met,
otherwise continue will be executed. Since there’s no other statements after
continue in the while loop, continue doesn’t serve any purpose. In fact it is
extraneous. So let us see the if condition. If we look carefully, we will notice that
the condition of the if will be met always, so break will be executed at the first
iteration itself and we will come out of while loop. The reason why the condition
of if will be met is printf function. Function printf always returns the no. of bytes
it has output. For example, the return value of printf(“geeks”) will be 5 because
printf will output 5 characters here. In our case, the inner printf will be executed
first but this printf doesn’t have argument for format specifier i.e. %d. It means
this printf will print any arbitrary value. But notice that even for any arbirary
value, the no. of bytes output by inner printf would be non-zero. And those no. of
bytes will work as argument to outer printf. The outer printf will print that many
no. of bytes and return non-zero value always. So the condition for if is also true
always. Therefore, the while loop be executed only once. As a side note, even
without outer printf also, the condition for if is always true.
27.int main()
{
unsigned int i=10;
while(i-- >= 0)
printf("%u ",i);
return 0;
}
Output:
9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 4294967295 4294967294 …… (on a machine where int is 4
bytes long)
9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 65535 65534 …. (on a machine where int is 2 bytes long)
Explanation:
Let us examine the condition of while loop. It is obvious that as far as the
condition of while loop is met, printf will be executed. There are two operators in
the condition of while loop: post-decrement operator and comparison operator.
From operator precedence, we know that unary operator post-decrement has
higher priority than comparison operator. But due to post-decrement property,
the value of i will be decremented only after it had been used for comparison. So
at the first iteration, the condition is true because 10>=0 and then i is
decremented. Therefore 9 will be printed. Similarly the loop continues and the
value of i keeps on decrementing. Let us see what what happen when condition of
while loop becomes 0 >= 0. At this time, condition is met and i is decremented.
Since i is unsigned integer, the roll-over happens and i takes the value of the
highest +ve value an unsigned int can take. So i is never negative. Therefore, it
becomes infinite while loop.
As a side note, if i was signed int, the while loop would have been terminated
after printing the highest negative value.
28.int main()
{
int x,y=2,z,a;
if ( x = y%2)
z =2;
a=2;
printf("%d %d ",z,x);
return 0;
}
Output:
< some garbage value of z > 0
Explanation:
This question has some stuff for operator precedence. If the condition of if is met,
then z will be initialized to 2 otherwise z will contain garbage value. But the
condition of if has two operators: assignment operator and modulus operator.
The precedence of modulus is higher than assignment. So y%2 is zero and it’ll be
assigned to x. So the value of x becomes zero which is also the effective condition
for if. And therefore, condition of if is false.
29.int main()
{
int a[10];
printf("%d",*a+1-*a+3);
return 0;
}
Output: 4
Explanation:
From operator precedence, de-reference operator has higher priority than
addition/subtraction operator. So de-reference will be applied first. Here, a is an
array which is not initialized. If we use a, then it will point to the first element of
the array. Therefore *a will be the first element of the array. Suppose first element
of array is x, then the argument inside printf becomes as follows. It’s effective
value is 4.
x+1–x+3=4
30.#define prod(a,b) a*b

int main()
{
int x=3,y=4;
printf("%d",prod(x+2,y-1));
return 0;
}
Output:
10
Explanation:
This program deals with macros, their side effects and operator precedence. Here
prod is a macro which multiplies its two arguments a and b. Let us take a closer
look.
prod(a, b) = a*b
prod(x+2, y-1) = x+2*y-1 = 3+2*4-1 = 3+8-1=10
If the programmer really wanted to multiply x+2 and y-1, he should have put
parenthesis around a and b as follows.
prod(a,b) = (a)*(b)
This type of mistake in macro definition is called – macro side-effects.
31.int main()
{
unsigned int i=65000;
while ( i++ != 0 );
printf("%d",i);
return 0;
}
Output:
1
Explanation:
It should be noticed that there’s a semi-colon in the body of while loop. So even
though, nothing is done as part of while body, the control will come out of while
only if while condition isn’t met. In other words, as soon as i inside the condition
becomes 0, the condition will become false and while loop would be over. But also
notice the post-increment operator in the condition of while. So first i will be
compared with 0 and i will be incremented no matter whether condition is met
or not. Since i is initialized to 65000, it will keep on incrementing till it reaches
highest positive value. After that roll over happens, and the value of i becomes
zero. The condition is not met, but i would be incremented i.e. to 1. Then printf
will print 1.
32.int main()
{
int i=0;
while ( +(+i--) != 0)
i-=i++;
printf("%d",i);
return 0;
}
Output:
-1
Explanation:
Let us first take the condition of while loop. There are several operator there.
Unary + operator doesn’t do anything. So the simplified condition becomes (i–) !=
0. So i will be compared with 0 and then decremented no matter whether
condition is true or false. Since i is initialized to 0, the condition of while will be
false at the first iteration itself but i will be decremented to -1. The body of while
loop will not be executed. And printf will print -1.
33.int main()
{
float f=5,g=10;
enum{i=10,j=20,k=50};
printf("%d\n",++k);
printf("%f\n",f<<2);
printf("%lf\n",f%g);
printf("%lf\n",fmod(f,g));
return 0;
}
Output:
Program will not compile and give 3 errors
Explanation:
Here, i, j and k are inside the enum and therefore, they are like constants. In other
words, if want to use 10 anywhere in the program , we can use i instead. In the
first printf, the value of i is being modified which is not allowed because it’s enum
constant. In the second printf, left-shift operator is being applied on a float which
is also not allowed. Similarly, in the third printf, modulus operator is being
applied on float f and g which is also not allowed.
34.int main()
{
int i=10;
void pascal f(int,int,int);
f(i++, i++, i++);
printf(" %d",i);
return 0;
}
void pascal f(integer :i,integer:j,integer :k)
{
write(i,j,k);
}
Output:
Program will give compile-time error
Explanation:
Compiler specific question. Not all compilers support this.
Otherwise, pascal enforces left to right processing of arguments. So even though,
the argument processing order can be changed by the use of pascal, we can’t use
Pascal language routines such as write inside C program.
35.void pascal f(int i,int j,int k)

{
printf("%d %d %d",i, j, k);
}
void cdecl f(int i,int j,int k)

{
printf("%d %d %d",i, j, k);
}
main()
{
int i=10;
f(i++,i++,i++);
printf(" %d\n",i);
i=10;
f(i++,i++,i++);
printf(" %d",i);
}
Output:
Compiler specific question. Not all the compilers allow this.
Explanation:
This question deals with the argument passing mechanism. If we call a function,
the order in which the arguments of the function are processed is not governed
by C Standard. So one compiler can process the arguments from left to right while
the other compiler can process them right to left. Usually, the programs are not
affected with this because the arguments of the programs are different. For
example if we call funtion fun as fun(i,j), then no matter in which order the
arguments are processed, the value of i and j will be consistent.
But in this case, we are passing the arguments to function f using the same
variable. So the order in which arguments are processed by the function will
determine the value of those arguments. cdecl enforces right to left processing of
arguments while pascal enforces left to right processing of arguments.
So the value of i, j and k inside the first function f will be 10, 11 and 12
respectively while the value of i, j and k inside the second function f will be 12, 11
and 10 respectively.
36.int main()
{
int i = 0;
while (i <= 4)
{
printf("%d", i);
if (i > 3)
goto inside_foo;
i++;
}
getchar();
return 0;
}
void foo()
{
inside_foo:
printf("PP");
}
Output: Compiler error: Label “inside_foo” used but not defined.
Explanation: Scope of a label is within a function. We cannot goto a label from
other function.
37.#define a 10
int main()
{
#define a 50
printf("%d",a);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: 50
Preprocessor doesn’t give any error if we redefine a preprocessor directive. It
may give warning though. Preprocessor takes the most recent value before use of
and put it in place of a.
38.int main()
{
char str[] = "geeksforgeeks";
char *s1 = str, *s2 = str;
int i;
for(i = 0; i < 7; i++)

{
printf(" %c ", *str);
++s1;
}
for(i = 0; i < 6; i++)

{
printf(" %c ", *s2);
++s2;
}
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output
ggggggggeeksf
Explanation
Both s1 and s2 are initialized to str. In first loop str is being printed and s1 is
being incremented, so first loop will print only g. In second loop s2 is
incremented and s2 is printed so second loop will print “g e e k s f ”
39.int main()
{
char str[] = "geeksforgeeks";
int i;
for(i=0; str[i]; i++)
printf("\n%c%c%c%c", str[i], *(str+i), *(i+str), i[str]);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output:
gggg
eeee
eeee

ssss
ffff
oooo

Explanaition:
Following are different ways of indexing both array and string.
arr[i]
*(arr + i)
*(i + arr)
i[arr]
So all of them print same character.
40.int main()
{
char *p;
printf("%d %d ", sizeof(*p), sizeof(p));
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: Compiler dependent. I got output as “1 4”

Explanation:
Output of the above program depends on compiler. sizeof(*p) gives size of
character. If characters are stored as 1 byte then sizeof(*p) gives 1.
sizeof(p) gives the size of pointer variable. If pointer variables are stored as 4
bytes then it gives 4.
41.#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int x = 5, p = 10;
printf("%*d", x, p);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output:
10
Explanation:
Please see standard printf function definition
int printf ( const char * format, ... );
format: String that contains the text to be written to stdout. It can optionally
contain embedded format tags that are substituted by the values specified in
subsequent argument(s) and formatted as requested. The number of arguments
following the format parameters should at least be as much as the number of
format tags. The format tags follow this prototype:
%[flags][width][.precision][length]specifier
The main thing to note is below the line about precision
* (star): The precision is not specified in the format string, but as an additional
integer value argument preceding the argument that has to be formatted.
So, in the above example 5 is precision and 10 is the actual value to be printed.
42.int main()
{
char arr[] = "geeksforgeeks";
char *ptr = arr;
while(*ptr != '\0')
++*ptr++;
printf("%s %s", arr, ptr);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: hffltgpshfflt
Explanation:
The crust of this question lies in expression ++*ptr++.
If one knows the precedence and associativity of the operators then there is
nothing much left. Below is the precedence of operators.
Postfixx ++ left-to-right
Prefix ++ right-to-left
Dereference * right-to-left
Therefore the expression ++*ptr++ has following effect

Value of *ptr is incremented
Value of ptr is incremented
43.int main()
{
signed char i=0;
for(; i >= 0; i++);
printf("%d\n", i);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: -128
Explanation:
Here, the first thing to be noticed is the semi-colon in the end of for loop. So
basically, there’s no body for the for loop. And printf will print the value of i when
control comes out of the for loop. Also, notice that the first statement i.e.
initializer in the for loop is not present. But i has been initialized at the
declaration time. Since i is a signed character, it can take value from -128 to 127.
So in the for loop, i will keep incrementing and the condition is met till roll over
happens. At the roll over, i will become -128 after 127, in that case condition is
not met and control comes out of the for loop.
void fun(const char **p) { }
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
fun(argv);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: Compiler error.

Explanation:
Parameter passed to fun() and parameter expected in definition are of
incompatible types. fun() expects const char** while passed parameter is of type
char **.
45.int main()
{
int c=5;
printf("%d\n%d\n%d", c, c <<= 2, c >>= 2);
getchar();
}
Output: Compiler dependent

Evaluation order of parameters is not defined by C standard and is dependent on
compiler implementation. It is never safe to depend on the order of parameter
evaluation. For example, a function call like above may very well behave
differently from one compiler to another.
46.int main()
{
char arr[] = {1, 2, 3};
char *p = arr;
if(&p == &arr)
printf("Same");
else
printf("Not same");
getchar();
}
Output: Not Same
&arr is an alias for &arr[0] and returns the address of the first element in array,
but &p returns the address of pointer p.
47.int main()
{
char arr[] = {1, 2, 3};
char *p = arr;
printf(" %d ", sizeof(p));
printf(" %d ", sizeof(arr));
getchar();
}
Output 4 3
sizeof(arr) returns the amount of memory used by all elements in array
and sizeof(p) returns the amount of memory used by the pointer variable itself.
48.int x = 0;
int f()
{
return x;
}
int g()
{
int x = 1;
return f();
}
int main()
{
printf("%d", g());
printf("\n");
getchar();
}
Output: 0
In C, variables are always statically (or lexically) scoped. Binding of x inside f() to
global variable x is defined at compile time and not dependent on who is calling
it. Hence, output for the above program will be 0.
int main()
{
typedef int i;
i a = 0;
printf("%d", a);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: 0
There is no problem with the program. It simply creates a user defined type i and
creates a variable aof type i.
int main()
{
typedef int *i;
int j = 10;
i *a = &j;
printf("%d", **a);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: Compiler Error -> Initialization with incompatible pointer type.

The line typedef int *i makes i as type int *. So, the declaration of a means a is
pointer to a pointer. The Error message may be different on different compilers.
int main()
{
typedef static int *i;
int j;
i a = &j;
printf("%d", *a);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: Compiler Error -> Multiple Storage classes for a.

In C, typedef is considered as a storage class. The Error message may be different
on different compilers.
int fun(int n, int *fg)
{
int t, f;
if(n <= 1)
{
*fg = 1;
return 1;
}
t = fun(n-1, fg);
f = t + *fg;
*fg = t;
return f;
}
int main( )
{
int x = 15;
printf ( "%d\n", fun (5, &x));
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output:8
53.int fun(char *str1)

{
char *str2 = str1;
while(*++str1);
return (str1-str2);
}
int main()
{
char *str = "geeksforgeeks";
printf("%d", fun(str));
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: 13
Inside fun(), pointer str2 is initialized as str1 and str1 is moved till ‘\0’ is reached
(note ; after while loop). So str1 will be incremented by 13 (assuming that char
takes 1 byte).
54.void fun(int *p)

{
static int q = 10;
p = &q;
}
int main()
{
int r = 20;
int *p = &r;
fun(p);
printf("%d", *p);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: 20
Inside fun(), q is a copy of the pointer p. So if we change q to point something else
then p remains unaffected.
55.void fun(int **p)

{
static int q = 10;
*p = &q;
}
int main()
{
int r = 20;
int *p = &r;
fun(&p);
printf("%d", *p);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output 10
Note that we are passing address of p to fun(). p in fun() is actually a pointer to p
in main() and we are changing value at p in fun(). So p of main is changed to point
q of fun().
56.int main()
{
printf("%d", sizeof(arr));
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: 14
The string “geeksforgeeks” has 13 characters, but the size is 14 because compiler
includes a single ‘\0’ (string terminator) when char array size is not explicitly
mentioned.
57.In below program, what would you put in place of “?” to print “geeks”.
Obviously, something other than “geeks”.
int main()
{
printf("%s", ?);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: (arr+8)
The printf statement prints everything starting from arr+8 until it finds ‘\0’
58.int main()
{
int x, y = 5, z = 5;
x = y==z;
printf("%d", x);
getchar();
return 0;
}
The crux of the question lies in the statement x = y==z. The operator == is
executed before = because precedence of comparison operators (<=, >= and ==) is
higher than assignment operator =.
The result of a comparison operator is either 0 or 1 based on the comparison
result. Since y is equal to z, value of the expression y == z becomes 1 and the
value is assigned to x via the assignment operator.
59.int main()
{
printf(" \"GEEKS %% FOR %% GEEKS\"");
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: “GEEKS % FOR % GEEKS”

Backslash (\) works as escape character for double quote (“).
int main()
{
int a;
char *x;
x = (char *) &a;
a = 512;
x[0] = 1;
x[1] = 2;
printf("%d\n",a);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: The output is dependent on endianness of a machine. Output is 513 in a

little endian machine and 258 in a big endian machine.
Let integers are stored using 16 bits. In a little endian machine, when we do x[0]
= 1 and x[1] = 2, the number a is changed to 00000001 00000010 which is
representation of 513 in a little endian machine. The output would be same for
32 bit numbers also.
In a big endian machine, when we do x[0] = 1 and x[1] = 2, the number is changed
to 00000001 00000010 which is representation of 258 in a big endian machine.
61.int main()
{
int f = 0, g = 1;
int i;
for(i = 0; i < 15; i++)
{
printf("%d \n", f);
f = f + g;
g = f - g;
}
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: The function prints first 15 Fibonacci Numbers.
62.Explain functionality of following function.
int func(int i)
{
if(i%2) return (i++);
else return func(func(i-1));
}
Output: If n is odd then returns n, else returns (n-1). So if n is 12 then we get and
if n is 11 then we get 11.
int main(void)
{
int a = 1;
int b = 0;
b = ++a + ++a;
printf("%d %d",a,b);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: 3 6
int main()
{
int a[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};
int *ptr = (int*)(&a+1);
printf("%d ", *(ptr-1) );
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: 6
&a is address of the whole array a[]. If we add 1 to &a, we get “base address of a[]
+ sizeof(a)”. And this value is typecasted to int *. So ptr – 1 points to last element
of a[]
char* fun()
{
return "awake";
}
int main()
{
printf("%s",fun()+ printf("I see you"));
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: I see youee you(Some string starting with “I see you”)

Explanation: The function fun() returns pointer to char. Apart from printing
string “I see you”, printf() function returns number of characters it printed(i.e. 9).
The expression [fun()+ printf(“I see you”)] can be boiled down to [“awake” + 9]
which is nothing but base address of string literal “awake” displaced by 9
characters. Hence, the expression [“awake” + 9] returns junk data when printed
via %s specifier till it finds ‘\0’.
int main()
{
unsigned i ;
for( i = 0 ; i < 4 ; ++i )
{
fprintf( stdout , "i = %d\n" , ("11213141") ) ;
}
getchar();
return 0 ;
}
Output: Prints different output on different machines.
Explanation:The format specifier is %d, converts the base address of string
“11213141” as an integer. The base address of string depends on memory
allocation by the compiler. The for loop prints same address four times. Try to use
C++ streams, you will see power of type system.
#define R 10
#define C 20
int main()
{
int (*p)[R][C];
printf("%d", sizeof(*p));
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: 10*20*sizeof(int) which is “800” for compilers with integer size as 4

bytes.
The pointer p is de-referenced, hence it yields type of the object. In the present
case, it is an array of array of integers. So, it prints R*C*sizeof(int).
#define f(g,g2) g##g2
int main()
{
int var12 = 100;
printf("%d", f(var,12));
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: 100
The operator ## is called “Token-Pasting” or “Merge” Operator. It merges two
tokens into one token. So, after preprocessing, the main function becomes as
follows, and prints 100.
int main()
{
unsigned int x = -1;
int y = ~0;
if(x == y)
printf("same");
else
printf("not same");
printf("\n x is %u, y is %u", x, y);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: “same x is MAXUINT, y is MAXUINT” Where MAXUINT is the maximum

possible value for an unsigned integer.
-1 and ~0 essentially have same bit pattern, hence x and y must be same. In the
comparison, y is promoted to unsigned and compared against x. The result is
“same”. However, when interpreted as signed and unsigned their numerical
values will differ. x is MAXUNIT and y is -1. Since we have %u for y also, the
output will be MAXUNIT and MAXUNIT.
int fun()
{
static int num = 40;
return num--;
}
int main()
{
for(fun(); fun(); fun())
{
printf("%d ", fun());
}
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: 38 35 32 29 26 23 20 17 14 11 8 5 2
Since num is static in fun(), the old value of num is preserved for subsequent
functions calls. Also, since the statement return num– is postfix, it returns the old
value of num, and updates the value for next function call.
int main()
{
char *s[] = { "knowledge","is","power"};
char **p;
p = s;
printf("%s ", ++*p);
printf("%s ", *p++);
printf("%s ", ++*p);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: nowledge nowledge s

Let us consider the expression ++*p in first printf(). Since precedence of prefix ++
and * is same, associativity comes into picture. *p is evaluated first because both
prefix ++ and * are right to left associative. When we increment *p by 1, it starts
pointing to second character of “knowledge”. Therefore, the first printf statement
prints “nowledge”.
Let us consider the expression *p++ in second printf() . Since precedence of
postfix ++ is higher than *, p++ is evaluated first. And since it’s a psotfi
int main()
{
int a = 10, b = 20, c = 30;
if (c > b > a)
{
printf("TRUE");
}
else
{
printf("FALSE");
}
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: FALSE
Let us consider the condition inside the if statement. Since there are two greater
than (>) operators in expression “c > b > a”, associativity of > is considered.
Associativity of > is left to right. So, expression c > b > a is evaluated as ( (c > b) >
a ) which is false.
73.int main()
{
int x = 10;
static int y = x;
if(x == y)
printf("Equal");
else if(x > y)
printf("Greater");
else
printf("Less");
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: Compiler Error

In C, static variables can only be initialized using constant literals.
int main()
{
int i;
for (i = 1; i != 10; i += 2)
{
printf(" GeeksforGeeks ");
}
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: Infinite times GeeksforGeeks
The loop termination condition never becomes true and the loop prints
GeeksforGeeks infinite times. In general, if a for or while statement uses a loop
counter, then it is safer to use a relational operator (such as <) to terminate the
loop than using an inequality operator (operator !=).
struct st
{
int x;
struct st next;
};
int main()
{
struct st temp;
temp.x = 10;
temp.next = temp;
printf("%d", temp.next.x);
getchar();
return 0;
}

A C structure cannot contain a member of its own type because if this is allowed
then it becomes impossible for compiler to know size of such struct. Although a
pointer of same type can be a member because pointers of all types are of same
size and compiler can calculate size of struct.
#define fun (x) (x)*10
int main()
{
int t = fun(5);
int i;
for(i = 0; i < t; i++)
printf("GeesforGeeks\n");
return 0;
}

There is an extra space in macro declaration which causes fun to be raplaced by
(x).
#define fun(x) (x)*10
int main()
{
int t = fun(5);
int i;
for(i = 0; i < t; i++)
printf("GeesforGeeks\n");
return 0;
}
Output: prints “GeeksforGeeks” 50 times.
int main()
{
int i = 20,j;
i = (printf("Hello"), printf(" All Geeks "));
printf("%d", i);
return 0;
}
Output: Hello All Geeks 11

The printf() function returns the number of characters it has successfully printed.
The comma operator evaluates it operands from left to right and returns the
value returned by the rightmost expression. First printf(“Hello”) executes and
prints “Hello”, the printf(” All Geeks “) executes and prints ” All Geeks “. This printf
statement returns 11 which is assigned to i.
int main()
{
enum channel {star, sony, zee};
enum symbol {hash, star};
int i = 0;
for(i = star; i <= zee; i++)
{
printf("%d ", i);
}
return 0;
}
Output:
compiler error: redeclaration of enumerator 'star'
In the above program, enumartion constant ‘star’ appears two times in main()
which causes the error. An enumaration constant must be unique within the
scope in which it is defined. The following program works fine and prints 0 1 2 as
the enumaration constants automatically get the values starting from 0.
int main()
{
enum channel {star, sony, zee};
int i = 0;
for(i = star; i <= zee; i++)
{
printf("%d ", i);
}
return 0;
}
Output:
012
int main()

int i, j;
int p = 0, q = 2;
for(i = 0, j = 0; i < p, j < q; i++, j++)

{
printf("GeeksforGeeks\n");
}
return 0;
}
Output:
GeeksforGeeks
GeeksforGeeks
Following is the main expression to consider in the above program.
i < p, j < q
When two expressions are separated by comma operator, the first expression (i <
p) is executed first. Result of the first expression is ignored. Then the second
expression (j < q) is executed and the result of this second expression is the final
result of the complete expression (i < p, j < q). The value of expression 'j < q' is
true for two iterations, so we get "GeeksforGeeks" two times on the screen.

{
int arr[] = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60};
int *ptr1 = arr;
int *ptr2 = arr + 5;
printf ("ptr2 - ptr1 = %d\n", ptr2 - ptr1);
printf ("(char*)ptr2 - (char*) ptr1 = %d", (char*)ptr2 - (char*)ptr1);

return 0;
}
Output:
ptr2 - ptr1 = 5
(char*)ptr2 - (char*) ptr1 = 20
In C, array name gives address of the first element in the array. So when we do
ptr1 = arr, ptr1 starts pointing to address of first element of arr. Since array
elements are accessed using pointer arithmetic, arr + 5 is a valid expression and
gives the address of 6th element. Predicting value ptr2 – ptr1 is easy, it gives 5 as
there are 5 inetegers between these two addresses. When we do (char *)ptr2,
ptr2 is typecasted to char pointer. In expression “(int*)ptr2 – (int*)ptr1”, pointer
arithmetic happens considering character poitners. Since size of a character is
one byte, we get 5*sizeof(int) (which is 20) as difference of two pointers.
int main()
{
char *ptr1 = arr;
char *ptr2 = ptr1 + 3;
printf ("ptr2 - ptr1 = %d\n", ptr2 - ptr1);
printf ("(int*)ptr2 - (int*) ptr1 = %d", (int*)ptr2 - (int*)ptr1);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output:
ptr2 - ptr1 = 3
(int*)ptr2 - (int*) ptr1 = 0
int main()
{
char arr[] = "geeks\0 for geeks";
char *str = "geeks\0 for geeks";
printf ("arr = %s, sizeof(arr) = %d \n", arr, sizeof(arr));
printf ("str = %s, sizeof(str) = %d", str, sizeof(str));
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output:
arr = geeks, sizeof(arr) = 17
str = geeks, sizeof(str) = 4
Let us first talk about first output “arr = geeks”. When %s is used to print a string,
printf starts from the first character at given address and keeps printing
characters until it sees a string termination character, so we get “arr = geeks” as
there is a \0 after geeks in arr[].
Now let us talk about output “sizeof(arr) = 17”. When a character array is
initialized with a double quoted string and array size is not specified, compiler
automatically allocates one extra space for string terminator ‘\0′ , that is why size
of arr is 17.
Explanation for printing “str = geeks” is same as printing “arr = geeks”. Talking
about value of sizeof(str), str is just a pointer (not array), so we get size of a
pointer as output.
86.int main(void)
{
struct str

printf(" i: %d \n j: %d \n k: %d \n l: %d \n", s.i, s.j, s.k, s.l);

return 0;
}
The above code is non-portable and output is compiler dependent.
output using GCC compiler for intel 32 bit machine.
i: -1
j: -2
k: -3
l: -6
In the structure declaration, for structure member ‘i’, we used width of bit field as
1, width of ‘j’ as 2, and so on. At first, it looks we can store values in range [0-1]
for ‘i’, range [0-3] for ‘j’, and so on. But in the above declaration, type of bit fields is
integer (signed). That’s why out of available bits, 1 bit is used to store sign
information. So for ‘i’, the values we can store are 0 or -1 (for a machine that uses
two’s complement to store signed integers). For variable ‘k’, number of bits is 3.
Out of these 3 bits, 2 bits are used to store data and 1 bit is used to store sign.

return 0;
}
Output: 0
C (or C++) allows arrays of size 0. When an array is declared with empty
initialization list, size of the array becomes 0.
int main()
{
int i, j;
int arr[4][4] = { {1, 2, 3, 4},
{5, 6, 7, 8},
{9, 10, 11, 12},
{13, 14, 15, 16} };
for(i = 0; i < 4; i++)
for(j = 0; j < 4; j++)
printf("%d ", j[i[arr]] );
printf("\n");
for(i = 0; i < 4; i++)

for(j = 0; j < 4; j++)
printf("%d ", i[j[arr]] );
return 0;
}
Output:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
1 5 9 13 2 6 10 14 3 7 11 15 4 8 12 16
Array elements are accessed using pointer arithmetic. So the meaning of arr[i][j]
and j[i[arr]] is same. They both mean (arr + 4*i + j). Similarly, the meaning of
arr[j][i] and i[j[arr]] is same.
int main()
{
int a[2][3] = {2,1,3,2,3,4};
printf("Using pointer notations:\n");
printf("%d %d %d\n", *(*(a+0)+0), *(*(a+0)+1), *(*(a+0)+2));
printf("Using mixed notations:\n");
printf("%d %d %d\n", *(a[1]+0), *(a[1]+1), *(a[1]+2));
return 0;
}
Output:

int main(void)
{
int i;
int power_of_ten[5] = {
00001,
00010,
00100,
01000,
10000,
};
for (i = 0; i < 5; ++i)

printf("%d ", power_of_ten[i]);
printf("\n");
return 0;
}
In the above example, we have created an array of 5 elements, whose elements

are power of ten (i.e. 1, 10, 100, 1000 and 10,000) and we are printing these
element by using a simple for loop. So we are expecting output of above program
is ” 1 10 100 1000 and 10000″, but above program doesn’t show this output,
instead it shows
"1 8 64 512 10000"
Let us discuss above program in more detail. Inside array we declared elements
which starts with “0”, and this is octal representation of decimal number (See this
GFact for details).
That’s why all these numbers are in octal representation. “010” is octal
representation of decimal “8”, “0100” is octal representation of decimal “64” and
so on.
Last element “10000” which doesn’t start with “0”, that’s why it is in decimal
format and it is printed as it is.
int main(void)
{
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org
printf("Hello, World !!!\n");
return 0;
}
Output: Hello, World !!!

At first sight, it looks like that the above program will give compilation error, but
it will work fine (but will give compilation warning). Observe the above program
carefully, in this program “http:” will be treated as goto label and two forward
slashes will act as single line comment. That’s why program will work work
correctly.
#define ARRAY_SIZE(arr) (sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]))
int main(void)
{
int i;
int arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
for (i = -1; i < ARRAY_SIZE(arr) - 1; ++i)

printf("%d ", arr[i + 1]);
printf("\n");
return 0;
}
In above program, “ARRAY_SIZE” macro substitutes the expression to get the total
number of elements present in array, and we are printing these element by using
a for loop. But program doesn’t print anything. Let us see what is wrong with
code.
Value returned by the substituted expression is in “unsigned int” format, and
inside for loop we are comparing unsigned 5 with signed -1. In this comparison
-1 is promoted to unsigned integer. -1 in unsigned format is represented as all it’s
bit are set to 1 (i.e. 0xffffffff), which is too big number
After substituting value of macro, for loop look like this.
for (i = -1; 0xffffffff < 5; ++i)
In above loop indeed 0xffffffff is not less than 5, that's why for loop condition
fails, and program exits from loop without printing anything.
int main()
{
char a = 30;
char b = 40;
char c = 10;
char d = (a * b) / c;
printf ("%d ", d);
return 0;
}
At first look, the expression (a*b)/c seems to cause arithmetic overflow because
signed characters can have values only from -128 to 127 (in most of the C
compilers), and the value of subexpression ‘(a*b)’ is 1200. For example, the
following code snippet prints -80 on a 32 bit little endian machine.
char d = 1200;
printf ("%d ", d);
Arithmetic overflow doesn’t happen in the original program and the output of the
program is 120. In C, char and short are converted to int for arithmetic
calculations. So in the expression ‘(a*b)/c’, a, b and c are promoted to int and no
overflow happens.
int main()
{
int a, b = 10;
a = -b--;
printf("a = %d, b = %d", a, b);
return 0;
}
Output:
a = -10, b = 9
The statement ‘a = -b–;’ compiles fine. Unary minus and unary decrement have
save precedence and right to left associativity. Therefore ‘-b–‘ is treated as -(b–)
which is valid. So -10 will be assigned to ‘a’, and ‘b’ will become 9.
int main()
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i<5; i++)
{
int i;
i = 10;
printf("%d ", i) ;
}
return 0;
}
Here, it would seem that, as ‘i’ got assigned a value 10, so the loop will run only
one time because the loop condition will fail as ‘i’ becomes 11 the next time it
enters the loop. But the output is quite different than what we expected. The
reason behind this is the scope of variable is within the method. As soon as the
loop exits , i is counted according to i of for loop which makes the condition true
upto 5 times (0-4). See scope rules for more details.
Here, the loop runs according to the ‘i’ declared outside the loop, and hence it will
run five times and the ‘i’ inside the loop will be printed five times.
Output:
10 10 10 10 10
int main()
{
int i = 10;
static int x = i;
if (x==i)
printf("x and i are Equal\n");
return 0;
}
Here, it would seem that, as ‘x’ and ‘i’ are equal, so the output will be “x and i are
Equal”. But the output is quite unexpected.
As, static variables are load time entity while auto variables are run time entity
an We can not initialize any load time variable by the run time variable. So,the
output the c code above will show “Compile error”.
Output:
Compile error
#include <string.h>
int main()
{
printf("GEEKS size = %d \n\n", sizeof("GEEKS"));
printf("GEEKS length = %d \n", strlen("GEEKS"));
return 0;
}
sizeof() function returns the size of the string including null character while
strlen() function returns length of the string excluding null character.
So, the output will be as shown below :
Output:
GEEKS size = 6
GEEKS length = 5
int extern i;
int main()
{
printf("%d", i);
}
int i = 10;
With the help of extern keyword, the declaration of variable can be done any
where in the program. Here, i is a variable which is being declared after the printf
statement outside the main. Still, it can be accessed by the printf statement as it is
an extern variable.
Output:
10
int main()
{
int a = 10;
printf("%o %x", a, a);
return 0;
}
As, %o is used to print the number in octal number format and %x is used to
print the number in hexadecimal number format. And if we convert decimal 10 to
octal , we get 12 and in hexadecimal it will give a
Output:
12 a
int main()
{
printf("%s", "Geeks\nFor\nGeeks\nis\nthe\nbest");
}
Instead of getting output as Geeks\nFor\nGeeks\nis\nthe\nbest, the output is

something different. %s treats \n as ‘new line’ even if it is inside a string, and
hence it prints the output as shown below:
Output:
Geeks

int main()
{
int num = 2;
switch (num + 2)
{
case 1:
printf("Case 1: ");
case 2:
printf("Case 2: ");
case 3:
printf("Case 3: ");
default:
printf("Default: ");
}
return 0;
}
Output:
Default:
Explanation: In switch, an expression “num+2” where num value is 2 and after
addition the expression result is 4. Since there is no case defined with value 4 the
default case got executed.
void main()
{
int movie = 1;
switch (movie << (2 + movie))
{
default:
printf(" Traffic");
case 4:
printf(" Sultan");
case 5:
printf(" Dangal");
case 8:
printf(" Bahubali");
}
}
Output:
Bahubali
Explanation: We can write case statement in any order including the default case.
That default case may be first case, last case or in between the any case in the
switch case statement. The value of expression “movie << (2 + movie)" is 8.
#define L 10
void main()
{
auto a = 10;
switch (a, a*2)
{
case L:
printf("ABC");
break;
case L*2:
printf("XYZ");
break;
case L*3:
printf("PQR");
break;
default:
printf("MNO");
case L*4:
printf("www");
break;
}
}
Output:
XYZ
Explanation: In C, comma is also operator with least precedence. So if
x = (a, b);
Then x = b
Note: Case expression can be macro constant.
void main()
{
switch(2)
{
case 1L:
printf("No");
case 2L:
printf("%s","GEEKS");
goto Love;
case 3L:
printf("Please");
case 4L:Love:
printf("FOR");
}
}
Output:
GEEKSFOR
Explanation: It is possible to write label of goto statement in the case of switch
case statement.
