Q. Inheritance is also known as -------- relationship. Containership as ________ relationship.
Q. What is a dangling pointer?
ANSWER: A dangling pointer arises when you use the address of an object after its lifetime is
over. This may occur in situations like returning addresses of the automatic variables from a
function or using the address of the memory block after it is freed.
Q. What is void pointer in C?
ANSWER: The void type of pointer is a special type of pointer. In C++, void represents the
absence of type, so void pointers are pointers that point to a value that has no type (and thus also
an undetermined length and undetermined dereference properties). This allows void pointers to
point to any data type, from an integer value or a float to a string of characters. But in exchange
they have a great limitation: the data pointed by them cannot be directly dereferenced (which is
logical, since we have no type to dereference to), and for that reason we will always have to cast
the address in the void pointer to some other pointer type that points to a concrete data type
before dereferencing it.

Q. What is a binary semaphore? What is its use?
ANSWER: A binary semaphore is one, which takes only 0 and 1 as values. They are used to
implement mutual exclusion and synchronize concurrent processes.

Q. Predict the output of the following program code

main()
{
fork();
printf(""Hello World!"");
}
ANSWER: Hello World!Hello World!
EXPLANATION:
The fork creates a child that is a duplicate of the parent process. The child begins from the
fork().All the statements after the call to fork() will be executed twice.(once by the parent
process and other by child). The statement before fork() is executed only by the parent process.
Q. If you are using C language to implement the heterogeneous linked list, what pointer type will
you use?
ANSWER: The heterogeneous linked list contains different data types in its nodes and we need a
link, pointer to connect them. It is not possible to use ordinary pointers for this. So we go for
void pointer. Void pointer is capable of storing pointer to any type as it is a generic pointer type. "
