STRINGS

1. Assume sizeof an integer and a pointer is 4 byte. Output?

#include <stdio.h>
#define R 10
#define C 20

int main()
{
int (*p)[R][C];
printf("%d", sizeof(*p));
getchar();
return 0;
}

(a) 200 (b) 4

(c) 800 (d) 80

2. Output of following C program? Assume that all necessary header files are included.

int main()
{
char *s1 = (char *)malloc(50);
char *s2 = (char *)malloc(50);
strcpy(s1, "Ravindra");
strcpy(s2, "Ravula");
strcat(s1, s2);
printf("%s", s1);
return 0;
}

(a) RavindraRavula (b) Ravindra

(c) Ravindra Ravula (d) Ravula

3. Consider the following code. The function myStrcat concatenates two strings. It appends all
characters of b to end of a. So the expected output is “Ravindra Ravula”. The program compiles
fine but produces segmentation fault when run.

1
#include <stdio.h>

#include<string.h>

void myStrcat(char *a, char *b)

{
int m = strlen(a);
int n = strlen(b);
int i;
for (i = 0; i <= n; i++)
a[m+i] = b[i];
}

int main()
{
char *str1 = "Ravindra ";
char *str2 = "Ravula";
myStrcat(str1, str2);
printf("%s ", str1);
return 0;
}

Which of the following changes can correct the program so that it prints “Geeks Quiz”?

(a) char *str1 = “Ravindra “; can be changed to char str1[100] = “Ravindra “;

(b) char *str1 = “Ravindra “; can be changed to char str1[100] = “Ravindra “; and a line
a[m+n- 1] = ‘\0′ is added at the end of myStrcat
(c) A line a[m+n-1] = ‘\0′ is added at the end of myStrcat
(d) A line ‘a = (char *)malloc(sizeof(char)*(strlen(a) + strlen(b) + 1)) is added at the beginning
of myStrcat()
