7) main() { static char names[5][20]={"pascal","ada","cobol","fortran","perl"}; int i; char *t; t=names[3]; names[3]=names[4]; names[4]=t; for (i=0;i<=4;i++) printf("%s",names[i]); }
Answer: Compiler error: Lvalue required in function main
Explanation: Array names are pointer constants. So it cannot be modified.
8) main( ) { void *vp; char ch = g , *cp = goofy ; int j = 20; vp = &ch; printf( %c , *(char *)vp); vp = &j; printf( %d ,*(int *)vp); vp = cp; printf( %s ,(char *)vp + 3); }
Answer: g20fy Explanation: Since a void pointer is used it can be type casted to any other type pointer. vp = &ch stores address of char ch and the next statement prints the value stored in vp after type casting it to the proper data type pointer. the output is g . Similarly the output from second printf is 20 . The third printf statemen t type casts it to print the string from the4th value hence the output is fy .
9) main() {
main(); }
Answer: Runtime error : Stack overflow.
Explanation: main function calls itself again and again. Each time the function is called its return address is stored in the call stack. Since there is no condition to terminate the function call, the call stack overflows at runtime. So it terminates the program and results in an error.
10) main() { show(); } void show() { printf("I'm the greatest") ; }
Answer: Compier error: Type mismatch in redeclaration of show. Explanation: When the compiler sees the function show it doesn't know anything about it. So the default return type (ie, int) is assumed. But when compiler sees the actual definition of show mismatch occurs since it is
declared as void. Hence the error. The solutions are as follows: 1. declare void show() in main() . 2.define show() before main(). 3.declare extern void show() before the use of show()
11) #include<stdio.h> main() { struct xx { int x=3; char name[]="hello"; }; struct xx *s=malloc(sizeof(struct xx)); printf("%d",s->x); printf("%s",s->name); }
Answer: Compiler Error Explanation: Initialization should not be done for structure members inside the structure declaration
12) main()
{ int *j; { int i=10; j=&i; } printf("%d",*j); }
Answer:- 10 Explanation: The variable i is a block level variable and the visibility is inside that block only. But the lifetime of i is lifetime of the function so it lives upto the exit of main function. Since the i is still allocated space, *j prints the value stored in i since j points i.
13) int i,j; for(i=0;i<=10;i++) { j+=5; assert(i<5); }
Answer: Runtime error: Abnormal program termination. assert failed (i<5), ,
Explanation:
asserts are used during debugging to make sure that certain conditions are satisfied. If assertion fails, the program will terminate reporting the same. After debugging use, #undef NDEBUG and this will disable all the assertions from the source code. Assertion is a good debugging tool to make use of..
14) main() { int i; printf("%d",scanf("%d",&i)); // value 10 is given as input here }
Answer:- 1 Explanation: Scanf returns number of items successfully read and not 1/0. Here 10 is given as input which should have been scanned successfully. So number of items read is 1.
