C Programming Result & Statistics

1. What will be the output of the program? Marks : 1/20

#include<stdio.h> Total number of questions : 20

int main() Number of answered questions : 2
{
Number of unanswered questions : 18
int x=55;
printf("%d, %d, %d\n", x<=55, x=40, x>=10);
return 0;
} Feedback

Quality of the Test :

A. 1, 40, 1 B. 1, 55, 1
Difficulty of the Test :

C. 1, 55, 0 D. 1, 1, 1 Comments:

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Step 1: int x=55; here variable x is declared as an integer type and initialized to '55'.
Step 2: printf("%d, %d, %d\n", x<=55, x=40, x>=10);
here x<=55 returns TRUE hence it prints '1'.
x=40 here x is assigned to 40 Hence it prints '40'.
x>=10 returns TRUE. hence it prints '1'. Take an Another Random Test!
Step 3: Hence the output is "1, 40, 1".

2. What will be the output of the program?

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i=2;
int j = i + (1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
printf("%d\n", j);
return 0;
}

A. 4 B. 7

C. 6 D. 5

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Because, comma operator used in the expression i (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). The comma operator has
left-right associativity. The left operand is always evaluated first, and the result of evaluation
is discarded before the right operand is evaluated. In this expression 5 is the right most
operand, hence after evaluating expression (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) the result is 5, which on adding to i
results into 7.

3. The preprocessor can trap simple errors like missing declarations, nested comments or
mismatch of braces.

A. True B. False

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

False, the preprocessor cannot trap the errors, it only replaces the macro with the given
expression. But the compiler will detect errors.

4. Point out the error in the program

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
int a=10;
void f();
a = f();
printf("%d\n", a);
return 0;
}
void f()
{
printf("Hi");
}

A. Error: Not allowed assignment

B. Error: Doesn't print anything

C. No error

D. None of above

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The function void f() is not visible to the compiler while going through main() function. So we
have to declare this prototype void f(); before to main() function. This kind of error will not
occur in modern compilers.

int main()
{
int i=2;
FUN(i<3);
return 0;
}

IndiaBIX...
A. IndiaBIX...
IndiaBIX

B. IndiaBIX... IndiaBIX...

C. Error: cannot use control instructions in macro

D. No output

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The macro FUN(arg) prints the statement "IndiaBIX..." untill the while condition is satisfied.

Step 1: int i=2; The variable i is declared as an integer type and initialized to 2.

Step 2: FUN(i<3); becomes,

do
{
if(2 < 3)
printf("IndiaBIX...", "\n");
}while(--2)

After the 2 while loops the value of i becomes '0'(zero). Hence the while loop breaks.

Hence the output of the program is "IndiaBIX... IndiaBIX..."

7. What will be the output of the program?

#include<stdio.h>
#define SQR(x)(x*x)

int main()
{
int a, b=3;
a = SQR(b+2);
printf("%d\n", a);
return 0;
}

A. 25 B. 11

C. Error D. Garbage value

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The macro function SQR(x)(x*x) calculate the square of the given number 'x'. (Eg: 102)

Step 1: int a, b=3; Here the variable a, b are declared as an integer type and the variable b
is initialized to 3.

Step 2: a = SQR(b+2); becomes,

=> a = b+2 * b+2; Here SQR(x) is replaced by macro to x*x .

=> a = 3+2 * 3+2;

=> a = 3 + 6 + 2;

=> a = 11;

Step 3: printf("%d\n", a); It prints the value of variable 'a'.

Hence the output of the program is 11

8. What will be the output of the program?

#include<stdio.h>
#define SQUARE(x) x*x

int main()
{
float s=10, u=30, t=2, a;
a = 2*(s-u*t)/SQUARE(t);
printf("Result=%f", a);
return 0;
}

A. Result= -100.000 B. Result=-25.000

C. Result= 0.000 D. Result=100.000

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The macro function SQUARE(x) x*x calculate the square of the given number 'x'. (Eg: 102)

Step 1: float s=10, u=30, t=2, a; Here the variable s, u, t, a are declared as an floating
point type and the variable s, u, t are initialized to 10, 30, 2.

Step 2: a = 2*(s-u*t)/SQUARE(t); becomes,

=> a = 2 * (10 - 30 * 2) / t * t; Here SQUARE(t) is replaced by macro to t*t .

=> a = 2 * (10 - 30 * 2) / 2 * 2;

=> a = 2 * (10 - 60) / 2 * 2;

=> a = 2 * (-50) / 2 * 2 ;

=> a = 2 * (-25) * 2 ;

=> a = (-50) * 2 ;

=> a = -100;

Step 3: printf("Result=%f", a); It prints the value of variable 'a'.

Hence the output of the program is -100

9. What will be the output of the program?

#include<stdio.h>
#define CUBE(x) (x*x*x)

int main()
{
int a, b=3;
a = CUBE(b++);
printf("%d, %d\n", a, b);
return 0;
}

A. 9, 4 B. 27, 4

C. 27, 6 D. Error

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The macro function CUBE(x) (x*x*x) calculates the cubic value of given number(Eg: 103.)

Step 1: int a, b=3; The variable a and b are declared as an integer type and varaible b id
initialized to 3.

Online C Programming Test - C Programming Test - Random http://www.indiabix.com/online-test/c-programming-test/random

Step 2: a = CUBE(b++); becomes

=> a = b++ * b++ * b++;

=> a = 3 * 3 * 3; Here we are using post-increement operator, so the 3 is not increemented

in this statement.

=> a = 27; Here, 27 is store in the variable a. By the way, the value of variable b is
increemented by 3. (ie: i=6)

Step 3: printf("%d, %d\n", a, b); It prints the value of variable a and b.

Hence the output of the program is 27, 6.

10. Point out the error, if any in the program.

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i = 1;
switch(i)
{
printf("This is c program.");
case 1:
printf("Case1");
break;
case 2:
printf("Case2");
break;
}
return 0;
}

A. Error: No default specified

B. Error: Invalid printf statement after switch statement

C. No Error and prints "Case1"

D. None of above

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

switch(i) becomes switch(1), then the case 1: block is get executed. Hence it prints "Case1".

printf("This is c program."); is ignored by the compiler.

Hence there is no error and prints "Case1".

13. What will be the output of the program?

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
float a = 0.7;
if(0.7 > a)
printf("Hi\n");
else
printf("Hello\n");
return 0;
}

A. Hi B. Hello

C. Hi Hello D. None of above

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

if(0.7 > a) here a is a float variable and 0.7 is a double constant. The double constant 0.7 is
greater than the float variable a. Hence the if condition is satisfied and it prints 'Hi'
Example:

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
float a=0.7;
printf("%.10f %.10f\n",0.7, a);
return 0;
}

Output:
0.7000000000 0.6999999881

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i = 10, j = 15;
if(i % 2 = j % 3)
printf("IndiaBIX\n");
return 0;
}

A. Error: Expression syntax B. Error: Lvalue required

C. Error: Rvalue required D. The Code runs successfully

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

if(i % 2 = j % 3) This statement generates "LValue required error". There is no variable on

the left side of the expression to assign (j % 3).

19. Which of the following statement obtains the remainder on dividing 5.5 by 1.3 ?

A. rem = (5.5 % 1.3) B. rem = modf(5.5, 1.3)

C. rem = fmod(5.5, 1.3) D. Error: we can't divide

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

fmod(x,y) - Calculates x modulo y, the remainder of x/y.

This function is the same as the modulus operator. But fmod() performs floating point
divisions.

Example:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main ()
{
printf ("fmod of 5.5 by 1.3 is %lf\n", fmod (5.5, 1.3) );
return 0;
}

Output:
fmod of 5.5 by 1.3 is 0.300000
