1. What is the output of the following code snippet?

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a = 5;
printf("%d %d %d", a++, ++a, a--);
return 0;
}
A. 6 6 5
B. 6 7 6
C. 6 7 5
D. 5 6 5
Answer: C. The order of evaluation of the function arguments is not
guaranteed, so the behavior of the above code is undefined. However, in
practice, the output of the printf statement will depend on the order in
which the expressions a++, ++a, and a-- are evaluated. In this case, the
first expression a++ is evaluated first, which increments the value of a to
6 but returns the original value of 5. Then, the second expression ++a is
evaluated, which increments the value of a to 7 and returns the new value
of 7. Finally, the third expression a-- is evaluated, which decrements the
value of a to 6 but returns the original value of 7. Therefore, the output of
the printf statement is 6 7 5.

2. Which of the following is thecorrect way to declare a constant

pointer to a constant integer in C?
A. const int *ptr;
B. int *const ptr;
C. const int *const ptr;
D. int const *const ptr;
Answer: C. Option C is the correct way to declare a constant pointer to a
constant integer in C. The const keyword before the pointer specifies that
the pointer itself is constant and cannot be reassigned to point to a
different memory location. The const keyword before the integer
specifies that the value of the integer is constant and cannot be modified
through the pointer. Option A declares a pointer to a constant integer,
which means the value of the integer cannot be modified through the
pointer, but the pointer itself can be reassigned. Option B declares a
constant pointer to a non-constant integer, which means the pointer
cannot be reassigned but the value of the integer can be modified through
the pointer. Option D is equivalent to option C in terms of type
declaration, but the order of the const and int keywords is reversed.
 3. What is the output of the following code snippet?
apache

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int arr[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
int *ptr = arr+3;
printf("%d", *(ptr--));
return 0;
}
A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
D. undefined behavior
Answer: B. The variable ptr is initialized to point to the fourth element of
the array arr (i.e., the element with value 4). The expression *(ptr--) first
dereferences ptr to get the value at the memory location it points to,
which is 4. Then, it decrements ptr to point to the previous element in the
array (i.e., the element with value 3). Therefore, the output of the printf
statement is 4.

4. Which of the following is not a valid way to declare a string in C?

A. char str[20] = "hello";
B. char *str = "world";
C. char str[] = {'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', '\0'};
D. char str[5] = {'w', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd'};
Answer: D. Option D is not a valid way to declare a string in C because
the array size is not large enough to accommodate the null terminator '\0',
which is added automatically to the end of a string in C. Therefore, option
D declares an array of characters that is not a valid string. Option A
declares a character array of size 20 that is initialized with the string
"hello". Option B declares a pointer toa string literal that points to the
string "world". Option C declares a character array with an unspecified
size that is initialized with the characters of the string "hello" and the null
terminator '\0'.

5. What is the output of the following code snippet?

apache

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
int *ptr = (int*)(&a+1);
printf("%d %d", *(a+1), *(ptr-1));
return 0;
}
A. 2 5
B. 5 2
C. 2 4
D. undefined behavior
Answer: B. The expression &a gives the address of the entire array a,
which is a pointer to an array of 5 integers. Adding 1 to this pointer
increments it by the size of the array, which is 5 * sizeof(int). Therefore,
the variable ptr is initialized to point to the memory location just after the
end of the array a. The expression *(a+1) retrieves the value of the second
element of the array a, which is 2, and the expression *(ptr-1) retrieves
the value of the last element of the array a, which is 5. Therefore, the
output of the printf statement is 2 5.

6. Which of thefollowing is not a valid integer type in C?

A. short
B. long
C. unsigned short
D. float
Answer: D. Option D is not a valid integer type in C. It is a floating-point
type that represents real numbers with a fractional part. Options A, B, and
C are valid integer types in C. short and long are signed integer types that
occupy 2 and 4 bytes of memory, respectively, and unsigned short is
an unsigned integer type that occupies 2 bytes of memory.

7. What is the output of the following code snippet?

arduino

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int x = 5;
int y = x++ * 2 + ++x * 3;
printf("%d %d", x, y);
return 0;
}
A. 7 29
B. 6 29
C. 7 33
D. 6 33
Answer: A. The expression x++ first assigns the value of x to y, which is
5, and then increments the value of x to 6. The expression ++x then
increments the value of x to 7 and multiplies it by 3. Finally, the
expression x++ * 2 multiplies the original value of x (i.e., 6) by 2.
Therefore, the value of y is (5 * 2) + (7 * 3) = 29, and the value of x is 7.
Thus, the output of the printf statement is 7 29.

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i;
for(i=0; i<5; i++)
{
if(i == 2)
break;
printf("%d ", i);
}
return 0;
}
A. 0 1
B. 0 1 2
C. 0 1 3 4
D. 2 4
Answer: A. The for loop iterates from i=0 to i=4. The if statement inside
the loop checks if the value of i is equal to 2. If it is, the break
statement is executed, which terminates the loop. Therefore, the loop only
executes for the values of i less than 2. The printf statement inside the
loop prints the value of i for each iteration. Therefore, the output of the
printf statement is 0 1.

D. (1,0) (2,0) (3,0) (4,0) (2,1) (3,1) (4,1) (3,2) (4,2)
Answer: A. The outer for loop iterates from i=0 to i=3, and the inner for
loop iterates from j=i+1 to j=4.

10.What is the output of the following C code snippet?

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int x = 5;
printf("%d\n", x++ + ++x);
return 0;
}
A. 10
B. 11
C. 12
D. 13
Answer: C. The value of x++ is 5 because the post-increment operator
returns the value of x before incrementing it. The value of ++x is 7
because the pre-increment operator first increments x to 6 and then
returns the new value. Therefore, the expression x++ + ++x evaluates to 5
+ 7, which is equal to 12.
11.Which of the following is NOT a valid C variable name?
A. my_variable
B. _myVariable
C. MyVariable
D. 2myVariable
Answer: D. Variable names in C must start with a letter or an underscore,
and they can only contain letters, digits, and underscores.
Therefore, 2myVariable is not a valid variable name.
12.What is the output of the following C code snippet?
arduino

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int i = 0;
while (i < 10) {
if (i % 2 == 0) {
printf("%d ", i);
}
i++;
}
return 0;
}
A. 0 2 4 6 8
B. 1 3 5 7 9
C. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
D. Nothing will be printed
Answer: A. The code snippet uses a while loop to iterate through the
variable i from 0 to 9. Inside the loop, the if statement checks whether i is
an even number by checking if the remainder of i divided by 2 is equal to
0. If i is even, it is printed to the console using the printf function.
Therefore, the output of the code will be 0 2 4 6 8.
13.What is the output of the following C code snippet?
arduino

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
int *p = arr;
printf("%d\n", *++p);
printf("%d\n", *p++);
printf("%d\n", *p);
return 0;
}
A. 2 2 3
B. 2 3 4
C. 3 3 4
D. 2 3 5
Answer: B. The code snippet creates an integer array arr with five
elements and initializes it with the values 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The pointer
variable p is initialized to point to the first element of the array. The
first printf statement dereferences the pointer ++p, which increments the
pointer to point to the second element of the array and then dereferences
it to print the value 2. The second printf statement dereferences the
pointer p++, which dereferences p to print the value 2 and then
increments p to point to the third element of the array. The
third printf statement dereferences the pointer p to print the value 3.
Therefore, the output of the code will be 2 3 4.
14.What is the output of the following C code snippet?
arduino

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int x = 5;
int y = 2;
printf("%d\n", x / y);
printf("%f\n", (float)x / y);
return 0;
}
A. 2 2.5
B. 2 2
C. 2.5 2
D. 2.5 2.5
Answer: B. The first printf statement divides the integer variable x by
the integer variable y, which results in integer division and gives the
value 2. The second printf statement casts x to a float before dividing it
by y, which results in floating-point division and gives the value 2.5.
However, the format specifier %f is used instead of %d to print the value,
which causes undefined behavior and may print garbage values or crash
the program. Therefore, the output of the code will be 2 2.

15.What is the output of the following C code snippet?

ini
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int x = 5;
int y = 10;
int *p1 = &x;
int *p2 = &y;
*p1 = *p2;
*p2 = 15;
printf("%d %d", x, y);
return 0;
}
A. 5 10
B. 10 15
C. 15 10
D. 15 15
Answer: C. The code snippet creates two integer variables x and y and
initializes them with the values 5 and 10, respectively. Two pointer
variables p1 and p2 are also declared and initialized to point to
the memory addresses of x and y, respectively. The values
that p1 and p2 point to are then swapped by dereferencing them and
assigning their values to each other. This means that x is now equal to y,
which is 10, and y is set to 15. Therefore, the output of the code will
be 15 10.
16.Which of the following is the correct way to declare a two-
dimensional array in C with three rows and four columns?
A. int arr[3, 4];
B. int arr[3][4];
C. int arr[4, 3];
D. int arr[4][3];
Answer: B. A two-dimensional array in C is declared using two sets
of square brackets, with the first set specifying the number of rows and
the second set specifying the number of columns. Therefore, the correct
way to declare a two-dimensional array in C with three rows and four
columns is int arr[3][4];.
17.What is the output of the following C code snippet?

printf("%d\n", *p);
return 0;
}
A. 1 2 4
B. 1 3 4
C. 2 3 4
D. 2 2 4
Answer: B. The code snippet creates an integer array arr with five
elements and initializes it with the values 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The pointer
variable p is initialized to point tothe third element of the array, which has
the value 3. The first printf statement decrements the pointer --p, which
moves it to point to the second element of the array and then dereferences
it to print the value 2. The second printf statement dereferences the
pointer p++, which dereferences p to print the value 3 and then
increments p to point to the fourth element of the array. The
third printf statement dereferences the pointer p to print the value 4.
Therefore, the output of the code will be 1 3 4.
18.What is the output of the following C code snippet?

return 0;
}
A. 1 3 5
B. 1 2 3
C. 1 3 4
D. 1 4 5
Answer: A. The code snippet creates an integer array arr with five
elements and initializes it with the values 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The
first printf statement dereferences the pointerarr, which points to the first
element of the array and prints the value 1. The second printf statement
adds the integer value 2 to the pointer arr using pointer arithmetic, which
makes it point to the third element of the array and then dereferences it to
print the value 3. The third printf statement adds the integer value 4 to the
pointer arr, which makes it point to the fifth element of the array and then
dereferences it to print the value 5. Therefore, the output of the code will
be 1 3 5.

A. 2 4 6 8 10
B. 1 3 5 7 9
C. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
D. Nothing will be printed
Answer: A. The code snippet uses a while loop to iterate through the
variable i from 1 to 10. Inside the loop, the if statement checks
whether i is an even number by checking if the remainder of i divided by
2 is equal to 0. If i is even, it is printed to the console using
the printf function. Therefore, the output of the code will be 2 4 6 8 10.

20.What is the output of the following C code snippet?

ini

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int x = 10;
int *p = &x;
printf("%d\n", *p);

printf("%d\n", x);
return 0;
}
A. 10 10
B. 10 20
C. 20 10
D. 20 20
Answer: B. The code snippet creates an integer variable x and initializes
it with the value 10. The pointer variable p is initialized to point to
the memory address of x. The first printf statement dereferences the
pointer p, which prints the value of x, which is 10. The second line
modifies the value of x via the pointer p by assigning the value 20 to the
memory location pointed to by p. The third printf statement prints the
new value of x, which is 20. Therefore, the output of the code will be 10
20.
21.Which of the following is NOT a valid way to open a file in C?
A. fopen("file.txt", "r")
B. fopen("file.txt","wx")
C. fopen("file.txt", "a")
D. fopen("file.txt", "rw")
Answer: D. The option "rw" is not a valid file mode in C. The correct file
modes in C are:
• "r" for reading
• "w" for writing (creates a new file or overwrites an existing file)
• "a" for appending (opens an existing file for writing at the end of
the file, or creates a new file if it doesn't exist)
• "x" for exclusive creation (creates a new file, but fails if the file
already exists)
• "b" for binary mode (used with "r", "w", "a", or "x" for binary files)
Therefore, the correct way to open a file in C to read its contents
is fopen("file.txt", "r"), to create a new file for writing without
overwriting an existing file is fopen("file.txt", "wx"), and to open an
existing file for appending is fopen("file.txt", "a").

apache

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
int *p = arr + 3;
printf("%d\n", *(p - 2));
printf("%d\n", *(p + 2));
return 0;
}
A. 2 5
B. 3 5
C. 2 4
D. 3 4
Answer: C. The code snippet creates an integer array arr with five
elements and initializes it with the values 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The pointer
variable p is initialized to point to the fourth element of the array, which
has the value 4. The first printf statement subtracts 2 from the
pointer p using pointer arithmetic, which makes it point to the second
element of the array and then dereferences it to print the value 2. The
second printf statement adds 2 to the pointer p, which makes it point to
the sixth element of the array (which is outside the bounds of the array)
and then dereferences it to print a garbage value. Therefore, the output of
the code will be 2 4.
23.What is the output of the following C code snippet?
arduino

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int x = 10;
if (x == 5 || x == 10) {
printf("x is either 5 or 10");
} else {
printf("x is neither 5 nor 10");
}
return 0;
}
A. xis either 5 or 10
B. x is neither 5 nor 10
C. x is greater than 5 and less than 10
D. x is less than 5 or greater than 10
Answer: A. The code snippet checks whether the value of integer
variable x is equal to either 5 or 10 using the logical OR operator ||.
Since x is equal to 10, the first condition is true, and the code inside the if
statement is executed, which prints the message "x is either 5 or 10".
Therefore, the output of the code will be x is either 5 or 10.

29.What is the output of the following C code snippet?

arduino

#include <stdio.h>

int y = ++x;
printf("%d %d", x, y);
return 0;
}
A. 5 6
B. 6 5
C. 6 6
D. 5 5
Answer: C. The code snippet creates an integer variable x and initializes
it with the value 5. The ++ operator is used to increment the value
of x before assigning it to the variable y. Therefore, x is incremented to 6,
and the value of y is also set to 6. The printf function is used to print the
values of x and y to the console. Therefore, the output of the code will
be 6 6.
30.Which of the following is NOT a valid way to declare a variable in
C?
A. int x;
B. float y;
C. char z;
D. `double a = 3.14.;
Answer: D. The variable declaration double a = 3.14.; containsa syntax
error. The correct declaration should be double a = 3.14; without the extra
dot at the end. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

B. 1 2 3 4 5
C. 0 1 2 3 4 5
D. 1 1 1 1 1
Answer: A. The code snippet creates an integer variable i and initializes it
to 0. The for loop is used to iterate from 0 to 4 (inclusive) using the
variable i. Inside the loop, the printf function is used to print the value
of i followed by a space. Therefore, the output of the code will be 0 1 2 3

applescript

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int x = 10;
if (x > 5 && x < 15) {
printf("x is greater than 5 and less than 15");
A. x is greater than 5 and less than 15
B. x is either greater than or equal to 15 or less than or equal to 5
C. x is greater than or equal to 15
D. x is less than or equal to 5

Answer: A. The code snippet checks whether the value of integer variable
`x` is greater than 5 and less than 15 using the logical AND operator `&&
`. Since `x` is equal to 10, the condition is true, and the code inside the if
statement is executed, which prints the message "x is greater than 5 and le
ss than 15". Therefore, the output of the code will be `x is greater than 5 a
nd less than 15`.

Answer: B. The code snippet creates two integer variables x and y with
the values 3 and 4, respectively. Two integer pointer variables p and q are
created and initialized to point to the addresses of x and y, respectively.
The values pointed to byp and q are then swapped using arithmetic
operations. First, the value pointed to by p is updated to the sum of the
values pointed to by p and q. Then, the value pointed to by q is updated to
the difference between the values pointed to by p and q. Finally, the value
pointed to by p is updated to the difference between the new value
of p and the original value of q. Therefore, after these operations, x will
have the value 4 and y will have the value 3, and the printf function will
print 4 3 to the console. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

Answer: C. The code snippet creates an integer array arr with five
elements and initializes it with the values 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. A pointer
variable p is created and initialized to point to the first element of the
array. The printf function is used to print the values of the
expressions ++*p, *p++, (*p)++, and *p, respectively.
• The first expression ++*p increments the value pointed to
by p (which is 1) before dereferencing it, so it evaluates to 2.
• The second expression *p++ dereferences p to get the value 2, and
then increments p to point to the next element ofthe array, which is
the value 3. Therefore, it evaluates to 2.
• The third expression (*p)++ dereferences p to get the value 3, and
then increments the value pointed to by p to 4. Therefore, it
evaluates to 3.
• The fourth expression *p dereferences p to get the value 4.
Therefore, the output of the code will be 2 2 3 4.

D. A pointer can be used to access elements of an array.
Answer: C. A pointer cannot be dereferenced to obtain the address of the
object it points to. Instead, the address of the object can be obtained using
the address-of operator &. Therefore, option C is the false statement.
46.What is the output of the following C code snippet?
apache

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
int *p = arr + 2;
printf("%d", *(p - 1));
return 0;
}
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
Answer: B. The code snippet creates an integer array arr with five
elements and initializes it with the values 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. A pointer
variable p is created and initialized to point to the address of the third
element of the array, which is the value 3. The printf function is used to
print the value pointed to by p-1, which is equivalent to the value pointed
to by the address of the second element of the array, which is the value 2.
Therefore, the output of the code will be 2.

n1ql

#include <stdio.h>

void myFunction(int *p) {

*p = 2 * (*p);
}

int main() {
int x = 5;
myFunction(&x);
 printf("%d", x);
return 0;
}
``A. 2
B. 5
C. 10
D. Compile-time error

Answer: C. The code snippet defines a function `myFunction` that takes a

pointer to an integer as a parameter. Inside the function, the value pointed
to by the pointer is multiplied by 2. The `main` function creates an integer
variable `x` with the value 5 and passes its address to the `myFunction` fu
nction. The value of `x` is then printed using the `printf` function. Theref
ore, the output of the code will be `10`.

48. What is the output of the following C code snippet?

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
char str1[] = "Hello";
char str2[] = "World";
printf("%s", str1 + 2);
printf("%s", str2 + 1);
return 0;
}
scheme

A. llo orld
B. lloWorld
C. loWorld
D. Compile-time error

Answer: A. The code snippet creates two character arrays `str1` and `str2`
containing the strings "Hello" and "World", respectively. The `printf`
function is used to print the substrings of `str1` starting from the third
character (`str1 + 2`), which is "llo", and of `str2` starting from the
second character (`str2 + 1`), which is "orld". Therefore, the output of the
code will be `llo orld`.
