Hints & Solutions

Q1 Text Solution: positions, which shifts the binary value of 73
The initial values are x = 10, y = 10, and z = 20. In (01001001) to 584 (01001001000). Therefore,
the expression y = x++ + ++y + --z, x++ evaluates the final result of the expression is 584. The
to 10 (then x becomes 11), ++y becomes 11, and -- program prints 584
z becomes 19. Substituting these values, the Q7 Text Solution:
expression becomes y = 10 + 11 + 19, resulting in y initially, x = 34 and y = 15, and the expression
= 40. The program prints 40, so the correct result = (x & y) ^ (x | y) is evaluated. The bitwise
option is A. 40.
AND of x and y results in 2, while the bitwise OR
Q2 Text Solution: of x and y gives 47. Next, the XOR operation
Initially the program stores the values x = 12 and between 2 and 47 produces 45. Therefore, the
b = 24. Through various operations, x is final result of the expression is 45. The program
incremented and decremented, while y is prints 45.
calculated as follows: after y = --x * b, the final Q8 Text Solution:
value of y becomes 264, and x is 11. Substituting
initially value of a = 10, b = 0, and c = -5, and
these values into printf("%d", x + y), we get x + y =
evaluates the expression result = a && b || c. First,
11 + 264 = 275. Hence, the program outputs 275.
the logical AND (a && b) is evaluated. Since a is
Q3 Text Solution: non-zero (true) and b is zero (false), the result of
Iniatally, m = 90 and k = 30. After evaluating n = a && b is false (0). Next, the logical OR (||) is
++m + ++k, we get n = 122, and after n1 = m-- + --k, evaluated with c. As c is -5 (non-zero, true), the
n1 = 121. The subsequent decrements make n = 1 result of b || c becomes true (1). Therefore, the
and n1 = 120, and n -= n1 results in n = 1. Finally, n final value of result is 1. The program prints 1.
+ k = 1 + 30 = 31, so the program prints 31.
Q9 Text Solution:
Q4 Text Solution: in the start , program initializes x = 5 and y = 10,
Initially, a = 45 and b = 35, and evaluates the and the expression result = (x > 3 && y < 20) ||
expression result = (a & b) | (a ^ b). The bitwise (x++ > 5) is evaluated. First, the condition (x > 3
AND (a & b) results in 33, and XOR (a ^ b) results && y < 20) is checked. Since x > 3 (true) and y <
in 14. The OR operation on these (33 | 14) gives 20 (true), the entire condition evaluates to true
47. Therefore, the program prints 47. (1). Due to the short-circuiting property of the ||
(OR) operator, the second condition (x++ > 5) is
Q5 Text Solution:
not evaluated because the first condition is
Initially, x = 7 and y = 25, and the expression
already true. As a result, the value of x remains
result = ~(x << 2) & (y >> 2) is evaluated. First, x <<
unchanged at 5. The final value of result is 1. The
2 results in 28, and its bitwise NOT gives -29.
program prints 1 5.
Then, y >> 2 results in 6. The bitwise AND
between -29 and 6 gives the final result 2. Q10 Text Solution:
Therefore, the program prints 2. Initially, a = 4, b = -3, and c = 0. The expression
result = a || b && c is evaluated based on
Q6 Text Solution:
operator precedence, where logical AND (&&) is
given, a = 100 and b = 45, then calculates result =
evaluated before logical OR (||). First, b && c is
(a ^ b) << 3. The bitwise XOR of a and b results in
evaluated. Since b = -3 (true) and c = 0 (false), the
73. Then, the result (73) is left-shifted by 3
result of b && c is false (0). Next, the logical OR is
