This set of Compilers Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Switch Case – 2”.
1. How many times will the following loop be executed?
ch = 'b'; while(ch >= 'a' && ch <= 'z')
a) 0
b) 25
c) 26
d) 1
View Answer
Explanation: Because there are 26 alphabets and so it runs for 26-1 times.
2. Consider the following program.
switch(input) { case '1': printf("One"); case '2': printf("Two"); case '3': printf(""Three"); default: Printf("Default"); break; }
What will be printed when input is 2?
a) Two Three default
b) Two
c) Two default
d) Two Two default
View Answer
Explanation: Because in between cases there is no break statement.
3. The advantage of ‘switch’ statement over ‘if’ is that it leads to more structured program.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Switch is more convenient to use as it avoids confusion in case of more nested structure.
4. Consider the following C program. What is the Value of a?
#include<stdio.h> int main() { int a=7, b=5; switch(a = a % b) { case 1: a = a - b; case 2: a = a + b; case 3: a = a * b; case 4: a = a / b; default: a = a; } return 0; }
a) 7
b) 5
c) 9
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: Initially a=a%b gives 2. Then in case 2 a=a+b gives 2+5=7. Hence a=7.
5. The statement for(;;) is perfectly valid C statement.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Infinite loop.
6. What will be the output of the following Code?
void main() { static a,b; while(a > b++) }
a) a=0 b=0
b) a=0 b=0
c) a=1 b=1
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: Static variables have an initial value 0.
7. Number of times the loop will run.
for(digit = 0;digit < 9; digit++) { digit = digit *2; digit--; }
a) Infinite
b) 9
c) 0
d) 4
View Answer
Explanation: Infinite times it runs.
8. An if statement may contain compound statements only in the else clause.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

9. A ‘while’ loop may always be converted to an equivalent ‘for’ loop.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Can be converted to for loop.
10. Default’ case is mandatory in a switch statement.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Default cases may or may not be written.
