Hints & Solutions

Q1 Text Solution: return 0;
For i=0: }
f1(5): print(-9){//n=9
Line 1: int b; for(n++; n++ ;n++)
Line 2: b=f2(5);//b=25 -9 -8 ->printf() is executed -7
Line 3:return 5*25; //return 125 to main(). -6 ->printf() is executed -5
f2(5): -4 ->printf() is executed -3
Line 1: int b=0; -2 ->printf() is executed -1
Line 2: b=b+5;//b=5 0 -> Loop terminates
Line 3: return 5*5;//return 25 to f1.Go to Line 3 of }
f1(5) “GATE Wallah” will be printed four times.
f2(5):
Q3 Text Solution:
Line 1: int b=0;
f(1):
Line 2: b=b+5;//b=5
n=1;
Line 3: return 5*5;//return 25 to main().
switch(n<<1+n)
b in main() is updated to: b=b-f1(a)+f2(a)=4- {
125+25=-96.
//switch(1<<2) i.e switch(4)
For i=1:
default: printf("Sresth");
f1(5):
case 4: printf("Parakram");
Line 1: int b;
//case 4 is executed.
Line 2: b=f2(5);//b=25
//since no break is there case 3 will also be
Line 3:return 5*25; //return 125 to main().
executed.
f2(5):
case 3: printf("2024");
Line 1: int b=0;
break;
Line 2: b=b+5;//b=5
case 2: printf("2025");
Line 3: return 5*5;//return 25 to f1.Go to Line 3 of
}
f1(5)
Output: Parakram2024
f2(5):
Q4 Text Solution:
Line 1: int b=0;
f():
Line 2: b=b+5;//b=5
x = 10<5?printf(“%d”, printf(“GATE”));
Line 3: return 5*5;//return 25 to main().
printf(“”)?printf(“2024”);
b in main() is updated to: b=b-f1(a)+f2(a)=-96
printf(“%d”, printf(“Wallah Parakram”));
-125+25=-196.
10<5 is FALSE. So, printf("") is evaluated. It prints
Output is: -96 -196
nothing and hence returns 0.
Sum= -292
0 means FALSE. So, printf("%d",printf("Wallah
Q2 Text Solution:
Parakram")) is evaluated.
int main()
Output: Wallah Parakram15
{
Q5 Text Solution:
void print();//No compilation error
f(1,2):
void print();//No compilation error
b = 1, a = 2;
print(-9); //print(-9) is called.

x = a <<b; //x = 2 << 1 = 4 r(--n) or r(3) is called.

b = x*a--;//b = 4*2 = 8. After this, a is r(n++)or r(3)=2->TRUE// Condition check
decremented to 1. n is incremented to 4.
return a + b - x; // return 1+8-4 i.e. return 5. printf("%d\t",r(--n));// printf("%d\t",r(3))
main(): //2 is printed.
printf("%d", f(1,2));//5 is printed. r(--n) or r(2) is called.
Output: 5 r(n++)or r(2)=1->TRUE// Condition check

Q6 Text Solution: n is incremented to 3.

r(4)=3. //Intialization printf("%d\t",r(--n));// printf("%d\t",r(2))

//1 is printed.
r(n++)or r(4)=3->TRUE// Condition check
r(--n) or r(0) is called.
n is incremented to 5.
printf("%d\t",r(--n));// printf("%d\t",r(4)) r(n++)or r(1)=0->FALSE//Loop terminates.

//3 is printed. Output: 3 2 1
