Output of C Programs | Set 4
Predict the output of below programs
Question 1
c
#include‹stdio.h› int main() { struct site { char name[] = "GeeksforGeeks"; int no_of_pages = 200; }; struct site *ptr; printf ("%d",ptr->no_of_pages); printf ("%s",ptr->name); getchar (); return 0; } |
Output:
Compiler error
Explanation:
Note the difference between structure/union declaration and variable declaration. When you declare a structure, you actually declare a new data type suitable for your purpose. So you cannot initialize values as it is not a variable declaration but a data type declaration.

Question 2
c
int main() { char a[2][3][3] = { 'g' , 'e' , 'e' , 'k' , 's' , 'f' , 'o' , 'r' , 'g' , 'e' , 'e' , 'k' , 's' }; printf ("%s ", **a); getchar (); return 0; } |
Output:
geeksforgeeks
Explanation:
We have created a 3D array that should have 2*3*3 (= 18) elements, but we are initializing only 13 of them. In C when we initialize less no of elements in an array all uninitialized elements become ‘\0’ in case of char and 0 in case of integers.
Question 3
c
int main() { char str[]= "geeks\nforgeeks"; char *ptr1, *ptr2; ptr1 = &str[3]; ptr2 = str + 5; printf ("%c", ++*str - --*ptr1 + *ptr2 + 2); printf ("%s", str); getchar (); return 0; } |
Output:
heejs
forgeeks
Explanation:
Initially ptr1 points to ‘k’ and ptr2 points to ‘\n’ in “geeks\nforgeeks”. In print statement value at str is incremented by 1 and value at ptr1 is decremented by 1. So string becomes “heejs\nforgeeks” .
First print statement becomes
printf(“%c”, ‘h’ – ‘j’ + ‘\n’ + 2)
‘h’ – ‘j’ + ‘\n’ + 2 = -2 + ‘\n’ + 2 = ‘\n’
First print statements newline character. and next print statement prints “heejs\nforgeeks”.
Question 4
c
#include <stdio.h> int fun( int n) { int i, j, sum = 0; for (i = 1;i<=n;i++) for (j=i;j<=i;j++) sum=sum+j; return (sum); } int main() { printf ("%d", fun(15)); getchar (); return 0; } |
Output: 120
Explanation: fun(n) calculates sum of first n integers or we can say it returns n(n+1)/2.
Question 5
c
#include <stdio.h> int main() { int c = 5, no = 1000; do { no /= c; } while (c--); printf ("%d\n", no); return 0; } |
Output: Exception – Divide by zero
Explanation: There is a bug in the above program. It goes inside the do-while loop for c = 0 also. Be careful when you are using do-while loop like this!!
