MCQ-5 Structure

The document contains 21 multiple choice questions about structures and unions in C programming. Some key points covered are: - Structures allow grouping of different data types into a single type under one name. The members of a structure may be of different types and sizes. - Unions share the same storage location for multiple data types. Only the last member assigned a value will occupy the allocated space. - Bit fields allow defining structure members as collections of bits rather than bytes. They are useful for packing unaligned variable length data. - Pointers to structures allow accessing structure members using pointer notation like ->. Arrays of structures allow defining multiple structured data objects. The questions cover concepts like memory usage

5. Consider the following declaration.


struct addr
{
char city[10];
char street[20];
int pincode;

int sex;
struct addr locate;
} criminal, *kd=&criminal;
sex can be accessed by
A. criminal.sex
B. (*kd).sex
C. kd—>sex
D. All of these

6. Consider the following declaration.


struct addr
{
char city [10];
char street [20];
int pincode;

struct
{
char name[20];

int pincode;
};
struct

B. kd—>name[2]
C. ((*kd).name)[2]
D. All of these

8. Consider the following declaration.


struct addr
{
char city[10];

struct addr locate;
} criminal, *kd=&criminal;
*(kd—>name + 2) can be used instead of
A. *(criminal.name + 2)
B. *((*kd).name + 2)
C. Both (a) & (b)
D. either (a) or (b), but not (c)

9. Assuming that bit-fields are accomodated from right to left and word size is
16-bits
Consider the declaration
static struct
{
unsigned a : 5;
unsigned b : 5;
unsigned c : 5;
unsigned d : 5;
} v = (1, 2, 3, 4);
information about d will be in the
A. first word
B. second word
C. in both words
D. none of the above

10. Assuming that bit-fields are accomodated from right to left and word size
Page (4/7)

Consider the declaration
static struct {
unsigned a : 5;
unsigned b : 5;
unsigned c : 5;
unsigned d : 5;
} v = (1, 2, 3, 4);
If the declaration unsigned c : 5; is replaced by unsigned : 6; then,
A. it results in a syntax error
