(a)0 0 0 0
(b)Garbage Garbage Garbage Garbage
(c)102 56 80 32
(d)102 102 90 64
(e)Compiler error
Answer: (d)
Explanation:
In c float data type is four byte data type while char
pointer ptr can point one byte of memory at a time.
Memory representation of float a=5.2
ptr pointer will point first fourth byte then third
byte then second byte then first byte.
Content of fourth byte:
Binary value=01100110
Decimal value= 64+32+4+2=102
Content of third byte:
Binary value=01100110
Decimal value=64+32+4+2=102
Content of second byte:

Binary value=10100110
Decimal value=128+32+4+2=90
Content of first byte:
Content of first byte:
Binary value=01000000
Decimal value=64
Note: Character pointer treats MSB bit of each byte
i.e. left most bit of above figure as sign bit.
(6) What will be output if you will compile and execute
the following c code?
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
int i;
double a=5.2;
char *ptr;

byte then sixth byte then fifth byte then fourth byte
then third byte then second byte then first byte as
shown in above figure.
Content of eighth byte:
Binary value=11001101
Decimal value= 128+64+8+4+1=51
Content of seventh byte:

Binary value=11001100
Decimal value= 128+64+8+4=52
Content of sixth byte:
Binary value=11001100
Decimal value= 128+64+8+4=52
Content of fifth byte:
Binary value=11001100
Decimal value= 128+64+8+4=52

printf("%s","c" "question" "bank");
return 0;
}
(a) c question bank
(b) c
(c) bank
(d) cquestionbank
(e) Compiler error
Answer: (d)
Explanation:
In c string constant “xy” is same as “x” “y”
(8) What will be output if you will compile and execute
the following c code?
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
char *str="cpointer";
printf("%*.*s",10,7,str);
return 0;
}
(a) cpointer
(b) cpointer
(c) cpoint
(d) cpointer null null
(e) cpoint
Answer: (e)
Explanation:

Meaning of %*.*s in the printf function:
First * indicates the width i.e. how many spaces will
take to print the string and second * indicates how
many characters will print of any string.
Following figure illustrates output of above code:
(9) What will be output if you will compile and
execute the following c code?
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
int a=12;
a=a>>3;
printf("%d",a);
return 0;
}
(a) 4
(b) 3
(c) 2
(d) 96
(e) Compiler error
Answer :( c)
Explanation:
Binary value of 12 is: 00000000 00001100
Binary value of 12 wills 2’s complement of 12 i.e.
Copyright@ritesh kumar: http://cquestionbank.blogspot.com/
Page 13
Page 14 of 25
So binary value of 12 is: 11111111 11110100
Right shifting rule:
Rule 1: If number is positive the fill vacant spaces in
the left side by 0.
Rule 2: If number is negative the fill vacant spaces in
the left side by 1.
In this case number is negative. So right shift all the
binary digits by three space and fill vacant space by 1
as shown following figure:
Since it is negative number so output will also a
negative number but its 2’s complement.

Hence final output will be:
And its decimal value is: 2
Hence output will be:2
(10) What will be output if you will compile and

address++;
return address;
}
(a) 0
(b) 1
(c) Garbage value
(d) Compiler error
(e) None of these
Answer: (b)
Explanation:
As we know main is not keyword of c but is special type
As we know main is not keyword of c but is special type

(12) What will be output if you will compile and
execute the following c code?
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
int a,b;
a=1,3,15;
b=(2,4,6);
printf("%d ",a+b);
return 0;
}
(a) 3
(b) 21
(c) 17
(d) 7
(e) Compiler error
Answer: (d)
Explanation:
In c comma behaves as separator as well as operator.
a=1, 3, 15;
b= (2, 4, 6);
In the above two statements comma is working as
operator. Comma enjoys least precedence and associative
is left to right.
Assigning the priority of each operator in the first
statement:
Copyright@ritesh kumar: http://cquestionbank.blogspot.com/
Page 17
Page 18 of 25
Hence 1 will assign to a.
Assigning the priority of each operator in the second
statement:
(13) What will be output if you will compile and
execute the following c code?

return 0;
}
int x=23;
(a) 0
(b) 2
(b) 2
(c) 23
(d) Compiler error
(e) None of these
Answer: (c)
Explanation:
extern variables can search the declaration of variable
anywhere in the program.

(c) 12 42
(d) 31 19
(e) None of these
Answer: (d)
Explanation:
%o is used to print the number in octal number format.
%x is used to print the number in hexadecimal number
format.
Note: In c octal number starts with 0 and hexadecimal
number starts with 0x.
(16) What will be output if you will compile and
execute the following c code?
#include<stdio.h>
#define message "union is\
power of c"
int main(){
printf("%s",message);
return 0;

If you want to write macro constant in new line the end
with the character \.
(17) What will be output if you will compile and
execute the following c code?
#include<stdio.h>
#define call(x) #x
int main(){
printf("%s",call(c/c++));
return 0;
}
(a)c
(b)c++
(c)#c/c++
(d)c/c++
(e)Compiler error
Answer: (d)
Explanation:
# is string operator. It converts the macro function
call argument in the string. First see the intermediate
file:
test.c 1:
test.c 2: void main(){
test.c 3: printf("%s","c/c++");
test.c 4: return 0;
test.c 4: }
test.c 5:
Copyright@ritesh kumar: http://cquestionbank.blogspot.com/
Page 21
Page 22 of 25
It is clear macro call is replaced by its argument in
the string format.
(18) What will be output if you will compile and
execute the following c code?
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
if(printf("cquestionbank"))
printf("I know c");
else
printf("I know c++");
return 0;
}
(a) I know c
(a) I know c
(b) I know c++
(c) cquestionbankI know c
(d) cquestionbankI know c++
(e) Compiler error
Answer: (c)
Explanation:
Return type of printf function is integer which returns
number of character it prints including blank spaces.
So printf function inside if condition will return 13.
In if condition any non zero number means true so else
part will not execute.
(19) What will be output if you will compile and
execute the following c code?
#include<stdio.h>

int i=10;
static int x=i;
if(x==i)
printf("Equal");
else if(x>i)
printf("Greater than");
else
printf("Less than");
return 0;
}
(a) Equal
(b) Greater than
(c) Less than
(d) Compiler error
(e) None of above
Answer: (d)
Explanation:
Static variables are load time entity while auto
variables are run time entity. We cannot initialize any
load time variable by the run time variable.
In this example i is run time variable while x is load
time variable.

start function: 1
main function: 2
end function:3
(c)
main function: 2
end function:3
start function: 1
(d) Compiler error
(e) None of these
Answer: (b)
Explanation:
Every c program start with main function and terminate
with null statement. But #pragma startup can call
function just before main function and #pragma exit
