Question: 4

Is it true that a
function may have

(A) True
(B) False

Show Ans

Ans: A

Hint:
Declaration like int sum(int, int); is allowed number of times but definition int sum(int a, int b) { return a+b; } is allowed only one time. Multiple
definition of same function is compilation error ( redefinition error )

Question: 5

int main()
{
extern int i;
i = 20;
printf("%d",
sizeof(i));
return 0;
}

(A) 20
(B) 0
(C) Undefined reference to i
(D) Linking Error

Show Ans

Ans: C

Hint:
extern int i; tell the compiler that int i is declared in some other file, in this code we have not included any other header file so it will cause
compilation error.

(A) 1 1
(B) 2 2
(C) 4 4
(D) Undefined

Show Ans

Ans: C

Hint:
On 32 compilers pointer's size is 4 bytes while on 64 bit compiler pointers size is 8 bytes. Note - If your computer is 64 bits then you can use both
32 bits and 64 bits compiler on it.

printf("%d", a);
}

(A) Compilation Error

(B) 0
(C) CppBuzz.com
(D) CppBuzz.com11

Show Ans

Ans: D

Hint:
printf() prints and returns the number of characters it has printed that is why its output is CppBuzz.com11, 11 is returned by printf() function

printf("%d",a);
}

(A) 3.33
(B) 3.0
(C) 3
(D) 0

Show Ans

Ans: C

Hint:
integer division ( int/ int ) is int only hence instead of printing 3.33 it will print 3 only. Float part is discarded in such cases.

Question: 18

int main()
{
int a = 320;
char *ptr;
ptr =( char *)&a;

printf("%d",*ptr);
return 0;
}

(A) 320
(B) 60
(C) 160
(D) 64

Show Ans

Ans: D

Hint:
To understand it you have to convert 320 to binary form which is 101000000, (9 digits) Now code is typecasting this value to char*, which takes 8
bits; so from the 9 digits ptr will stor only 8 values (01000000) which comes 64.

}

(A) 10
(B) 20
(C) 30
(D) Compilation Error

Show Ans

Ans: A

Hint:
When there are multiple , then assignment takes place from right to left hence 10 is the last value which is assign to x variable.

int a = 0;
while(a++);
{

printf("CppBuzz.com")

(A) 0 time
(B) 1 time
(C) Compilation Error
(D) Infinite times

Show Ans

Ans: B

Hint:
Here while loop is evaluated as while(0) because it has post increment operator. And since while(0) is terminated by ; so printf() will not be part of it
and hence it is printed 1 time.

You might be thinking that it should print 5 times but it is printing 1 time only because for loop is terminated by ; which means for loop will run 5
times but printf() is not part of that loop.

Hint:
This is very important difference in size_of() and strlen() functions. strlen() returns no of chracters in any string. While size_of() operator returns the
size which is actually including '\0' (null) character, null character is inserted at the end of all strings in C programming.

There are 4 types of storage classes in C and those are auto, register, extern and static. Every storage class has its own use. Whenever a local
variable is declared it is counted in auto storage class. Every storage class variables have some default value. In case of auto its default values is
garbage.
