3. Comment on the following statement?
n = 1;
printf("%d, %dn", 3*n, n++);a) Output will be 3, 2
b) Output will be 3, 1
c) Output will be 6, 1
d) Output is compiler dependent
View Answer
Explanation: None.
4. Which of the following option is the correct representation of the following code?
e = a * b + c / d * f;
a) e = (a * (b +(c /(d * f))));
b) e = ((a * b) + (c / (d * f)));
c) e = ((a * b) + ((c / d)* f));
d) Both e = ((a * b) + (c / (d * f))); and e = ((a * b) + ((c / d)* f));
View Answer
Explanation: Verified by e = 1 * 2 + 3 / 4 * 5; and then using respective braces according to the option.
5. While swapping 2 numbers what precautions to be taken care?
b = (b / a);
a = a * b;
b = a / b;a) Data type should be either of short, int and long
b) Data type should be either of float and double
c) All data types are accepted except for (char *)
d) This code doesn’t swap 2 numbers
View Answer
Explanation: None.
