Hints & Solutions

Q1 Text Solution: output : 1
a = 12/5 + 3.0/2 + 1
= 2 + 1.5 + 1 Q5 Text Solution:
= 4.5 int a=0, b=1;
a is an integer, so a = 4 a=(a=5)&&(b=0);
Q2 Text Solution: // Assignment operator assigns and returns the
a = 16.0/4 * 5 % 1 assigned value. So, a=5&&0=0, b=0
= 4.0 * 5 % 3 printf("%d", a);//0 is printed
= 20.0 % 3 printf("%d", b);//0 is printed.
= Error Q6 Text Solution:
Modulus operator works only with integers. P: INCORRECT. The precedence of the modulus
Q3 Text Solution: operator is same as multiplication or division
a = 32 > 24 > 13 > 10 > 8 > –1 > 0 operator.
1 > 13 Þ 0 > 10 Q: INCORRECT. The result of the modulus
0>8 operator contains the sign of the first operand.
0>–1 Q7 Text Solution:
1>0 a=2022. So, a!=2024 evaluates to 1.
1 a=2023. Assignment operator assigns the value
Q4 Text Solution: and returns the assigned value.
a = 25 > 15 > 0! = 12 < 45 > 42! = 65 a==2021 is equivalent to 2023==2021. So, it
1>0 evaluates to 0.
1! = 12 Output: 120230
1 < 45 Q8 Text Solution:
1 > 42 Þ 0! = 65 x=x+5 → x=-2023+5=-2018
1 ~(x) → ~(-2018) = -(-2018+1) = 2017.
a = 1; Output: 2017.
