Tutorial 9 Solution

Character arrays
1. Assuming the variable string contains the value “The sky is the limit”, determine what
output of the following program segments will be.

Instruction Output
a) printf(“%s”,string); The sky is the limit

b) printf(“%25.10s”,string); BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBThe sky is

c) printf(“%s”,&string[0]); The sky is the limit

d) for(i=0;string[i]!='.';i++) The sky is the limit.....keeps on printing some

printf(“%c”,string[i]); Garbage value

e) for(i=0;string[i]!=’\0’;i++) Prints integer value associated with each

printf(“%d\n”,string[i]); character

2. Assume that s1,s2 and s3 are declared as follows:

char s1[10]=”he”,s2[20]=”she”,s3[30],s4[30];

What will be the output of the following statements executed in sequence?

Output:
printf("%s\n",strcpy(s3,s1));
he
printf("%s\n",strcat(strcat(strcpy(s4,s1),"or"),s2)); heorshe
5
printf("%d\n%d\n",strlen(s2)+strlen(s3),strlen(s4));
7

3. Which of the following function is used to find the first occurrence of a given string in
another string?
A. strchr() B. strrchr()

C. strstr() D. strnset()
4. What will be the output of the program?

1) #include<stdio.h> 2) #include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h> int main( )
int main( ) {
{ Printf(5+”Good Morning\n”);
printf(“%d\n”,strlen(“123456”)); return 0;
return 0; }
} Answer: Morning
Answer: 6
3) #include<stdio.h> 4) int main( )
int main( ) {
{ printf(“india”,”BIX\n”);
static char s[25]=”The cocaine return 0;
man”; }
int i=0; Answer: india
char ch;
ch=s[++i];
printf(“%c”,ch);
ch=s[i++];
printf(“%c”,ch);
return 0;
}
Answer: hh
5) int main( ) 6) int main( )
{ {
int i; char str[ ]=”India\OBIX\0”;
char a[ ]=”\0”; printf(“%d\n”,sizeof(str));
if(printf(“%s”,a)) }
printf(“The string is Answer: 11
empty\n”);
else ( It counts \O as 1 character because of
printf(“The string is not escape sequence backslash and \0 as 1
empty\n”); character and sizeof counts the null
return 0; character of the string implicitly.
} Therefore result is
Answer: The string is not empty India(5)+\O(1)+BIX(3)+\0(1)+ null(1)
=11 )
(Null is not zero so it executes else part)
