40) What happen if we assign a value to an array element whose subscript exceeds the size of
array.
a) The program will give error
b) No output
c) program will crash
d) none of these
Answer:c
41) What will be output of the following program
int main()
{
int b[4]={5,1,32,4};
int k,l,m;
k=++b[1];
l=b[1]++;
m=b[k++];
printf(―%d, %d, %d‖,k,l,m);
return 0;
}
a) 2, 2, 4
b) 3, 2, 32
c) 3, 2, 4
d) 2, 3, 32
Answer:b
Explaination:Here, ++b[1] means that firstly b[1] will be incremented so, b[1]=2 then assigned
to k i.e. k=2.
b[1]++ means firstly b[1] will be assigned to variable l i.e. l=2, Then value stored in b[1] will be
incremented i.e. b[1]=3.
b[k++] means first b[k] will be assigned to m i.e. m=32, then value of k will be incremented i.e.
k=3.
42) What will be output of the following program where c=65474 and int=2 bytes.
int main()
{
int c[3][4]={2,3,1,6,4,1,6,2,2,7,1,10};
printf(―%u, %u\n‖, c+1, &c+1);
return 0;
}
a) 65482, 65498
b) 65476, 65476
c) 65476, 65498
d) No output
Answer:a
Explaination: Here c[3][4]= {
{2,3,1,6};
{4,1,6,2};
{2,7,1,10}
};
c+1 means c is base address i.e. address of 1st one Dimensional array and on incrementing it
by 1 means it points to 2nd one 2 Dimensional array.
So, c+1=65474 + ( 4 * 2)= 65482
But, when we are writing &c, that means address of this whole array i.e. address of next new
array.
So, &c+1=65474 + (12 * 2)=65498
43) what will be output of the following program
int main()
{
int a[5],i=0;
while(i<5)
a[i]=++i;
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
printf(―%d,‖,a[i]);}
a) garbage value,1,2,3,4
b) 1,2,3,4,5
c) Error
d) Program crash
Answer:a
Explaination: firstly right side of any expression is evaluated, then the left side is evaluated.
So, here ++i will be evaluated at first, then a[i].
Hence, when i=0, a[1]=1, then i=1, a[2]=2,…a[4]=4
and a[0]=garbage value
int main()
{
float a[]={12.4, 2.3, 4.5, 6.7};
printf(―%d, %d‖, sizeof(a), sizeof(a[0]));
return 0;
}
a) 16 bytes, 4 bytes
b) 4 bytes, 4 bytes
c) 8 bytes, 4 bytes
d) None of these
Answer:a
Explaination: sizeof(a)=number of element * size of each element
=4 * 4 bytes
=16 bytes
sizeof(a[0])=size of 1st element of array a
= 4 bytes
45 Which one of this is equivalent to
int fun(int arr[])
a) int fun(arr)
b) int fun(int s[])
c) int fun(int arr[2])
d) None of these
Answer:c
Explaination: int fun(int arr[]) and int fun(int arr[0]) are equivalent. Both are prototype for
function fun(), that accepts one integer array as parameter and return an integer value.
46) In 2 Dimensional Array, it is necessary to mention _______ dimension.
a) second
b) first
c) both
d) none of these
Answer:a
Explaination :In 2D array, it is necessary to mention the second dimension, whereas the first
dimension is optional.
int arr[][3]={12,34,33,45,56,73};
47) An array can be passed to a function by __________
a) Call by reference
b) call by value
c) Call by reference by passing base address to a function
d) Both a and c
Answer:d
int main()
{
int arr[4]={3,4,5,6};
int k[4];
k=arr;
printf(―%d\n‖,k[1]);
}
a) Compile Time Error
b) 4
c) No output
d) Program crashes
Answer:a
Explaination: We cannot assign one array to another directly. We can do assignment
operation element by element. Thus reports compile time error.

#include<stdio.h>
{
printf(―%c\n‖,**+argv);
return 0;
}
a) n
b) o
c) t
d) Compile Time Error
Answer:b
Explaination: > Here, char * argv[ ] denotes Array of Pointers. So, argv[ ] holds the address of
the command line argument passed. ++argv denote the address of next location, which holds
the address of the 2nd argument.
*++argv denote the value stored at that address i.e. the address of the 1st character of the 2nd
argument and **++argv itself denote the character ‗o‘ .
demo friday
#include<stdio.h>
{
printf(―%c‖,*++argv[1]);
return 0;
}
a) r
b) f
c) i
d) d
Answer:a
Explaination :>argv[1] can be wriiten as *(argv+1), (argv+1) denote the address of next
location, which holds the address of 2nd argument. Thus *(argv+1) or argv[1] denote the value
stored at that address i.e. denote the address of 1st character of the 2nd Argument. ++argv[1]
denote the address of 2nd character of the 2nd Argument. So *++argv[1] itself denote the
character ‗r‘ .

c) Depends on the system/compiler
d) Cannot be determined
Ans:c
113. Which of the datatypes have size that is variable?
a) int
b) struct
c) float

{
float x = ‗a‘;
printf(―%f‖, x);
return 0;
}
a) 97.000000
b) run time error
c) a.0000000
d) a
Ans:a
Explanation:Since the ASCII value of a is 97, the same is assigned to the float variable and

the size of array.
a) The program will give error b) No output
c) program will crash d) none of these Answer:c
int main()
{
int b[4]={5,1,32,4};
int k,l,m;
k=++b[1];
l=b[1]++;
m=b[k++];
printf(―%d, %d, %d‖,k,l,m);
return 0;
}
a) 2, 2, 4 b) 3, 2, 32 c) 3, 2, 4 d) 2, 3, 32 Answer:b
Explaination:Here, ++b[1] means that firstly b[1] will be incremented so, b[1]=2
then assigned to k i.e. k=2.
b[1]++ means firstly b[1] will be assigned to variable l i.e. l=2, Then value stored in
b[1] will be incremented i.e. b[1]=3.
b[k++] means first b[k] will be assigned to m i.e. m=32, then value of k will be
incremented i.e. k=3.
42) What will be output of the following program where c=65474 and int=2 bytes.
int main()
{
int c[3][4]={2,3,1,6,4,1,6,2,2,7,1,10};
printf(―%u, %u\n‖, c+1, &c+1);
return 0;
}
a) 65482, 65498 b) 65476, 65476 c) 65476, 65498 d) No output Answer:a
Explaination: Here c[3][4]= {
{2,3,1,6};
{4,1,6,2};
{2,7,1,10}
};
c+1 means c is base address i.e. address of 1st one Dimensional array and on
incrementing it by 1 means it points to 2nd one 2 Dimensional array.
So, c+1=65474 + ( 4 * 2)= 65482
But, when we are writing &c, that means address of this whole array i.e. address of
next new array.
So, &c+1=65474 + (12 * 2)=65498
43) what will be output of the following program
int main()
{
int a[5],i=0;
while(i<5)
a[i]=++i;
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
printf(―%d,‖,a[i]);}
a) garbage value,1,2,3,4 b) 1,2,3,4,5 c) Error d) Program crash
Answer:a
Explaination: firstly right side of any expression is evaluated, then the left side is
evaluated. So, here ++i will be evaluated at first, then a[i].
Hence, when i=0, a[1]=1, then i=1, a[2]=2,…a[4]=4
and a[0]=garbage value
int main()
{
float a[]={12.4, 2.3, 4.5, 6.7};
printf(―%d, %d‖, sizeof(a), sizeof(a[0]));
return 0;
}
a) 16 bytes, 4 bytes b) 4 bytes, 4 bytes c) 8 bytes, 4 bytes d) None of
these
Answer:a
Explaination: sizeof(a)=number of element * size of each element
=4 * 4 bytes
=16 bytes
sizeof(a[0])=size of 1st element of array a
= 4 bytes
45 Which one of this is equivalent to
int fun(int arr[])
a) int fun(arr) b) int fun(int s[]) c) int fun(int arr[2]) d) None of these
Answer:c
Explaination: int fun(int arr[]) and int fun(int arr[0]) are equivalent. Both are
prototype for function fun(), that accepts one integer array as parameter and return
an integer value.
46) In 2 Dimensional Array, it is necessary to mention _______ dimension.
a) second b) first c) both d) none of these Answer:a
Explaination :In 2D array, it is necessary to mention the second dimension,
whereas the first dimension is optional.
int arr[][3]={12,34,33,45,56,73};
47) An array can be passed to a function by __________
a) Call by reference b) call by value
c) Call by reference by passing base address to a function d) Both a and c
Answer:d
int main()
{
int arr[4]={3,4,5,6};
int k[4];
k=arr;
printf(―%d\n‖,k[1]);
}
a) Compile Time Error b) 4 c) No output d) Program crashes
Answer:a
Explaination: We cannot assign one array to another directly. We can do
assignment operation element by element. Thus reports compile time error.

Explaination: > Here, char * argv[ ] denotes Array of Pointers. So, argv[ ] holds the
address of the command line argument passed. ++argv denote the address of next
location, which holds the address of the 2nd argument.
*++argv denote the value stored at that address i.e. the address of the 1st character
of the 2nd argument and **++argv itself denote the character ‗o‘ .

}
a) r b) f c) I d) d Answer:a
Explaination :>argv[1] can be wriiten as *(argv+1), (argv+1) denote the address of
next location, which holds the address of 2nd argument. Thus *(argv+1) or argv[1]
denote the value stored at that address i.e. denote the address of 1st character of
the 2nd Argument. ++argv[1] denote the address of 2nd character of the 2nd
Argument. So *++argv[1] itself denote the character ‗r‘ .
