LOOPS AND CONTROLS

1. Consider the C program below.

#include <stdio.h>

int *A, stkTop;

int stkFunc (int opcode, int val)
{
static int size=0, stkTop=0;
switch (opcode)

{
case -1:
size = val;
break;

case 0:
if (stkTop < size ) A[stkTop++]=val;
break;

default:
if (stkTop) return A[--stkTop];
}
return -1;
}

int main()
{
int B[20];
A=B;
stkTop = -1;
stkFunc (-1, 10);
stkFunc (0, 5);
stkFunc (0, 10);
