what will be the output.?

seel_end

39.Same question with

lseek(fp,10,0);
c=getc(fp);
printf("%c",c);
ans. 11th character will be printed "K" verify.

40.Theory question about far pointers.

Hint: Far pointers are 4 bytes in size and local pointers are 2 bytes
in size. important: i saw in a previous question paper of accenture
which is in the chetana database, some lady wrote that size of an
integer in C is 2 bytes and for C++ it is 4 bytes. This is absurd.The
size of types is entirely dependent on the compiler used.for DOS Turbo
C sizeof int is 2 and float is 4 bytes for windows borland C,C++ size
of int is 4 bytes for linux gcc, size of int is 2 bytes. All these
depends on the Operating system.Please keep this in mind.
Now some questions about extern variables.

42.#include
main()
{
char str[]={"hell"};
int i;
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
printf("%c%c%c%c\n",str[i],i[str],*(str+i),*(i+str));
getch();
}
ans.
hhhh
eeee
llll
llll
note that str[i] and i[str] are the same.in the question paper, the
original word is "hello".

43.Which of the following is not defined in string.h

strtod,memchr,strspn,strchr
ans . strtod.(defined in STDLIB.H) it is used to convert a string to
double.

44.Questions on macros with arguments .same pattern given in TEST UR C

SKILLS
eg.#define SQUARE(x) x*x
main()
{
.......
y=SQUARE(2+3);
printf("%d",y);
}
ans. when the macro expands we get 2+3*2+3 = 2+6+3 =11.11 is the
correct answer not 25.

Remember an inline function does type checking and so it is better

than a macro a question on this.
45.Some memory is allocated using memalloc and then realloc is called.
and now to write the size of the variable.better learn memalloc and
realloc. what it does and syntax.
