2

[D] All Of Above Answer: Option [D] Explanation: All are the type of data type. Scalar include integer, float, double, char. Derived include structure, union, array/string. Pointer is also data type. 2.

Arrays
1. What will happen if in a C program you assign a value to an array element whose subscript exceeds the size of array? [A] The compiler would report an error.

Answer: Option [B] Explanation: If the index of the array size is exceeded, the program will crash. Hence "option c" is the correct answer. But the modern compilers will take care of this kind of errors. Example: Run the below program, it will crash in Windows (TurboC Compiler) 2.

Structures and Union

1. Which of the following comment about the usage of structures in true?

Which of the following comment about Union is false? [A] Union is a structure whose members share same memory area [B] The compiler will keep track of what type of information is currently stored [C] Only one of the members of union can be assigned a value at particular time [D] Size allocated for Union is the size of its member needing the maximum storage Answer: Option [B] Explanation: Union is similar to structure the only difference is the way the memory allocated to structure and union 3. Which of the following is a collection of different data types? [A] String [B] Array [C] Structure [D] Files Answer: Option [C] Explanation: Structure is a user defined data type which contains the variables of different data types. 4. For accessing a structure element using a pointer,you must use? [A] Pointer operator (&) [B] Dot operators(.) [C] Pointer operator(*) [D] Arrow operator(->) Answer: Option [D] Explanation: For accessing the structure element using pointers arrow operator is used otherwise dot operator is used. 5. Which operator is used to connect structure name to its member name? [A] dot operator(.) [B] logical operator(&&) [C] pointer operator(&) [D] Arrow operator(->) Answer: Option [A]

6. In C, structure values can be passed as arguments to function by? [A] passing each member of the structure as an argument of function call [B] passing copy of the entire structure to the called function [C] passing structure as an argument using pointer [D] All of above Answer: Option [D] 7. A -> B is syntactically correct if? [A] a and b are structure [B] a is a structure and b is a pointer to structure [C] a is a pointer to structure and b is a structure [D] a is a pointer to structure in which b is a field Answer: Option [D] 8. What is the output of following C code? main() { struct emp { char name[20]; int age; float sal; }; struct emp e ={"Tiger"} printf("%d%d%f",e.age,e.sal); } [A] Error [B] Garbage Collection [C] 0 0.000000 [D] 1 0.000000 Answer: Option [C]
