19. What will be the output of the following program?
Note:Includes all required header files
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
int find[5];
int * p;
p = find; *p = 1;
p++; *p = 2;
p = &find[2]; *p = 3;
p = find + 3; *p = 4;

A. int **fun(float**, char**)

B. int *fun(float*, char*)
C. int ***fun(float*, char**)
D. int ***fun(*float, **char)

Ans : C

Explanation: The correct statement for a function that takes pointer to a float,
a pointer to a pointer to a char and returns a pointer to a pointer to a integer is
int ***fun(float*, char**).
21-What is the output of this program?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int x = 1, y = 3, z = 5;

cout << lfc[1];
return 0;
}
A. 1
B. 3
C. 5
D. it will return some random number

*(lfc + i) = ' ';
cout << lfc;
return(0);
}
A. ABCDEFGHIJ
B. AAAAAAAAAA
C. JJJJJJJJ
D. None of the mentioned
