(a) float (b) array (c) char (d) int (a) True (b) False (c) No idea (d) Not really
3) Which of the following definition is(are) 13). Write only the prototype of a function
correct: named primeDetector which tests whether a
I) char color[3] = { 'R', 'E', 'D' } ; passed value is prime or not and returns Oor 1
II) char color[4] = "RED"; as its returned value.
III) char color[]= "RED"; Hint: The caller will use the returned "Oor l" to
