Q75. What will be output of following C code?____________
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int arr_size=5,i,ans=0,sum=0,leftsum=0 ;
int arr[7]= {-7, 1, 5, 2, -4,3,0};
for(i=0;i<arr_size;i++)
for (i = 0; i < arr_size; i++)
sum += arr[i];
for( i = 0; i < arr_size; i++)
{
sum -= arr[i];
if(leftsum == sum)
{
ans=i;
break;
}
leftsum += arr[i];

}
