Output of C programs | Set 45

1. What will be the output of following program?

#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
    int i = 10;
    static int x = i;
    if (x == i)
        printf("equal");
    else if (x < i)))
        printf("less than");
    else
        printf("greater than");
}

Options:
(a)equal
(b)greater than
(c)less than
(d)compiler error
(e)none of the above

Answer: (d)Compiler error

Explanation: Here ‘x’ is a static variable and ‘i’ is an auto variable. Auto variables are run time entities, compared to static, which are load time entities. Run time variables cannot be initialized with load time variables.

2. What will be the output of following program?

#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
    printf("%s", "i"
                 "am"
                 "good");
}

Options:
(a)i am good
(b)i
(c)good
(d)iamgood
(e)Compiler error

Answer: (d)iamgood

Explanation: In C, string constant “ab” is same as “a” “b”.

3. What will be the output of following program?

#include<stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
void main()
{
    printf("%d %d", sizeof("program"), strlen("program"));
}

Options:

(a)7 7
(b)8 8
(c)8 7
(d)7 8
(e)None of the above

Answer: (c)8 7

Explanation: strlen returns length of string without counting the null character, whereas sizeof also includes the null character when counting size of string.

4. What will be the output of following program?

#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
    int colour = 2;
    switch (colour) {
    case 0:

    case 1:
        printf("Red");
    case 2:
        printf("Aqua");
    case 3:
        printf("Green");
    default:

    }
}

Options:
(a)Aqua
(b)AquaGreenOther
(c)AquaGreen
(d)Red
(e)none of the above

#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
    if (printf("cisgood"))
        printf("i know c");
    else
        printf("i know c++");
}

Options:
(a)i know c
(b)i know c++
(c)cisgoodi know c
(d)cisgoodi know c++
(e)compiler error

Answer: (c)cisgoodi know c

Explanation: The return type of printf is integer, that is the number of characters including blank spaces. So, here in if condition, printf evaluates to 7, which is non-negative. Thus follows the true condition.
