Week 3 Assignment Solution

1. The precedence of arithmetic operators is (from highest to lowest)


a) %, *, /, +, –
b) %, +, /, *, –
c) +, -, %, *, /
d) %, +, -, *, /

Solution: (a) The precedence order follows the first option (a)

2. What is the output of the following program?


#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
float i = -3.0;
int k = i % 2;
printf(“%d”, k);
return 0;
}

a) -1
b) 1
c) 0
d) Compilation error
Solution: (d) 'int to binary ' operator ‘%' cannot be operated on floating variable. Thus i%2 is not a
valid operation in C. The compiler will show error at this step.

3. Find the output of the following C code. (% indicates modulo operation, which results the
reminder of a division operation)
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a=10, b=3, c=2, d=4, result;
result=a+a*-b/c%d+c*d;
printf("%d", result);
return 0;
}

a) -42
b) 24
c) 15
d) -34

Solution: (c) Following the precedence rule, we can conclude that the operation steps are
 Result=10+10*- 3/2%4+2*4
 Result=10-30/2%4+2*4
 Result=10-15%4+2*4
 Result=10-3+2*4
 Result=10-3+8
 Result=7+8
 Result=15

4. What is the output of the following C code?


#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
Week 3 Assignment Solution

int h = 8;
int b = 4 * 6 + 3 * 4 < h*5 ?4 : 3;
printf("%d\n", b);
return 0;
}

a) 0
b) 3
c) 4
d) Compilation error

Solution: (c) ‘?:’ is Conditional Expression. If Condition is true ? then value X : otherwise
value Y. After simplifying the expression, we get 36<40?4:3. The condition in LHS of ? is
true. Thus 4 will be stored in b.

5. What will be the output?


#include <stdio.h>
int main ()
{
int a = 1, b = 2, c = 3;
if (c > b > a)
printf("TRUE");
else
printf("FALSE");
return 0;
}

a) TRUE
b) FALSE
c) Syntax Error
d) Compilation Error
Solution: (b) FALSE
(c > b > a) is treated as ((c > b) > a), associativity of '>' is left to right. Therefore, the value
becomes ((3 > 2) > 1) which becomes (1 > 1), thus FALSE

6. Find the output of the following C code


#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int x=1;
if ((3>5) || (2!=3))
printf("IITKGP\n");
else if (x&=0)
printf("IITD\n");
else
printf("IITM\n");
return 0;
}

a) IITKGP
Week 3 Assignment Solution

b) IITD and IITM


c) IITKGP and IITM
d) IITM
Solution: (a) Only the first if condition will be executed as the condition inside the if ststement is
true. Thus IITKGP will be printed.

7. What will be the output?


#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int x=2;
if(x=1)
printf("TRUE");
else
printf("FALSE");
return 0;
}
a) TRUE
b) FALSE
c) Compilation Error
d) Compiler Dependent
Solution: (a) TRUE
if(x=1)... "=" is an assignment operator, so 1 will be assigned to x and condition will
be true due to if(1).

8. Which of the following statement is correct?


a) Operator precedence determines which operator is performed first in an
expression with more than one operator with different precedence.
Associativity is used when two operators of same precedence appear in an
expression
b) Operator associativity determines which operator is performed first in an
expression with more than one operator with different associativity.
Precedence is used when two operators of same precedence appear in an
expression
c) Operator precedence and associativity are same.
d) None of the above

Solution: (a) Operator precedence determines which operator is performed first in an


expression with more than one operator with different precedence, whereas associativity is
used when two operators of same precedence appear in an expression

9. Which of the following method are accepted for assignment?


a) 8=x=y=z
b) x=8=y=z
c) x=y=z=8
d) None
Week 3 Assignment Solution

Solution: (c)

10. What will be the output?


#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int x;
x= 9<5+3 && 7;
printf("%d", x);
return 0;
}

a) 0
b) 1
c) 7
d) Compilation error
Solution: (a) 0

This expression is equivalent to:


((9< (5 + 3)) && 7)
i.e., (5 + 3) executes first resulting into 8
then, first part of the expression (9< 8) executes resulting into 0 (FALSE)
Then, (0 && 7) executes resulting into 0 (FALSE)
