14. What will be the output of the program in 16-bit platform (Turbo C under DOS) ?
#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
printf("%d, %d, %d", sizeof(3.0f), sizeof('3'), sizeof(3.0));
return 0;
}

A
8, 1, 4
.

B
4, 2, 8
.

C
4, 2, 4
.

D
10, 3, 4
.
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Step 1:
printf("%d, %d, %d", sizeof(3.0f), sizeof('3'), sizeof(3.0));

The sizeof function returns the size of the given expression.

sizeof(3.0f) is a floating point constant. The size of float is 4 bytes
sizeof('3') It converts '3' in to ASCII value.. The size of int is 2 bytes
sizeof(3.0) is a double constant. The size of double is 8 bytes

Hence the output of the program is 4,2,8

Note: The above program may produce different output in other platform due to the platform
dependency of C compiler.
In Turbo C, 4 2 8. But in GCC, the output will be 4 4 8.

Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The function printf() returns the number of charecters printed on the console.
Step 1: char a[] = "\0"; The variable a is declared as an array of characters and it
initialized with "\0". It denotes that the string is empty.
Step 2: if(printf("%s", a)) The printf() statement does not print anything, so it returns
'0'(zero). Hence the if condition is failed.
In the else part it prints "The string is not empty".

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

Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Step 1: void swap(char *, char *); This prototype tells the compiler that the function
swap accept two strings as arguments and it does not return anything.
Step 2: char *pstr[2] = {"Hello", "IndiaBIX"}; The variable pstr is declared as an
pointer to the array of strings. It is initialized to
pstr[0] = "Hello", pstr[1] = "IndiaBIX"
Step 3: swap(pstr[0], pstr[1]); The swap function is called by "call by value". Hence it
does not affect the output of the program.
If the swap function is "called by reference" it will affect the variable pstr.
Step 4: printf("%s\n%s", pstr[0], pstr[1]); It prints the value
of pstr[0] and pstr[1].
Hence the output of the program is

Step 2: printf("%d, %d", sizeof(str), strlen(str[0]));
sizeof(str) denotes 6 * 4 bytes = 24 bytes. Hence it prints '24'
strlen(str[0])); becomes strlen(Frogs)). Hence it prints '5';
 Hence the output of the program is 24, 5
Hint: If you run the above code in 16 bit platform (Turbo C under DOS) the output will be 12, 5.
Because the pointer occupies only 2 bytes. If you run the above code in Linux (32 bit platform),
the output will be 24, 5 (because the size of pointer is 4 bytes).

29. What will be the output of the program ?

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
int i;
char a[] = "\0";
if(printf("%s", a))
printf("The string is not empty\n");
else
printf("The string is empty\n");
return 0;
}

A
The string is not empty
.

B
The string is empty
.

C
No output
.

D
0
.
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The function printf() returns the number of charecters printed on the console.
Step 1: char a[] = '\0'; The variable a is declared as an array of characters and it
initialized with "\0". It denotes that the string is empty.
Step 2: if(printf("%s", a)) The printf() statement does not print anything, so it returns
'0'(zero). Hence the if condition is failed.
In the else part it prints "The string is empty".

30. What will be the output of the program ?

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>

int main()
 {
char str1[5], str2[5];
int i;
gets(str1);
gets(str2);
i = strcmp(str1, str2);
printf("%d\n", i);
return 0;
}

A
Unpredictable integer value
.

B
0
.

C
-1
.

D
Error
.
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
gets() gets collects a string of characters terminated by a new line from the standard input
stream stdin.
The gets(str1) read the input string from user and store in variable str1.
The gets(str2) read the input string from user and store in variable str2.
The code i = strcmp(str1, str2); The strcmp not only returns -1, 0 and +1, but also other
negative or positive values. So the value of i is "unpredictable integer value".
printf("%d\n", i); It prints the value of variable i.

32. What will be the output of the program ?

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
char str1[] = "Hello";
char str2[] = "Hello";
if(str1 == str2)
printf("Equal\n");
else
printf("Unequal\n");
return 0;
}

A
Equal
.

B
Unequal
.

C
Error
.

D
None of above
.
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Step 1: char str1[] = "Hello"; The variable str1 is declared as an array of characters
and initialized with a string "Hello".
Step 2: char str2[] = "Hello"; The variable str2 is declared as an array of characters
and initialized with a string "Hello".
We have use strcmp(s1,s2) function to compare strings.
Step 3: if(str1 == str2) here the address of str1 and str2 are compared. The address of
both variable is not same. Hence the if condition is failed.
Step 4: At the else part it prints "Unequal".

33. What will be the output of the program ?

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
char t;
char *p1 = "India", *p2;
p2=p1;
 p1 = "BIX";
printf("%s %s\n", p1, p2);
return 0;
}

A
India BIX
.

B
BIX India
.

C
India India
.

D
BIX BIX
.
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Step 1: char *p1 = "India", *p2; The variable p1 and p2 is declared as an pointer to a
character value and p1is assigned with a value "India".
Step 2: p2=p1; The value of p1 is assigned to variable p2. So p2 contains "India".
Step 3: p1 = "BIX"; The p1 is assigned with a string "BIX"
Step 4: printf("%s %s\n", p1, p2); It prints the value of p1 and p2.
Hence the output of the program is "BIX India".

35. What will be the output of the following program in 16 bit platform assuming that 1022 is memory
address of the string "Hello1" (in Turbo C under DOS) ?
#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
printf("%u %s\n", &"Hello1", &"Hello2");
return 0;
}

A
1022 Hello2
.

B
Hello1 1022
.

C
Hello1 Hello2
.

D
1022 1022
.

E. Error
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
In printf("%u %s\n", &"Hello", &"Hello");.
The %u format specifier tells the compiler to print the memory address of the "Hello1".
The %s format specifier tells the compiler to print the string "Hello2".
Hence the output of the program is "1022 Hello2".
