C Interview Questions And Answers - Part 5.

What will be output of the following program?
#include<stdio.h>
int main() {
int a = 2, b = 7, c = 10;
c = a == b;
printf("%d",c);
return 0;
}
Output: 0

== is a relational operator which returns only two values.
0: If a == b is false
1: If a == b is true
Since a = 2 and b = 7, so a == b is false, thus c = 0

What will be output of following program?
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
int main() {

char *ptr1 = NULL;
char *ptr2 = 0;
strcpy(ptr1," c");
strcpy(ptr2,"questions");
printf("\n%s %s",ptr1,ptr2);
return 0;
}
Output: Run time error. 
We cannot assign any string constant in null pointer by strcpy function.

What will be output of following program?
#include<stdio.h>
int main() {

int * p , b;
b = sizeof(p);
printf("%d" , b);
return 0;
}
Output: 4

What will be output of following program?
#include<stdio.h>
int main() {

int i = 5;
int *p;
p = &i;
printf(" %u %u", *&p , &*p);
return 0;
}
Output: address address

* and & always cancel to each other, 
i.e. *&a = a, so *&p = p which store address of integer i. 

Again, &*p = &*(&i)  //since p = &i 
= &(*&i)
= &i
Hence second output is also address of i. 

What will be output of following program?
#include<stdio.h>
int main() {

int i = 3;
int *j;
int **k;
j=&i;
k=&j;
printf("%u %u %d ",k,*k,**k);
return 0;
}
Output: address address 3



Here 6024, 8085, 9091 are arbitrary addresses. The value of k is the content of k in memory which is 8085

The value of *k means the content of memory location which address k keeps. k keeps address 8085. The content of at memory location 8085 is 6024. In the same way **k will equal to 3. 

Easy way to calculate: Rule: * and & always cancel to each other i.e. *&a = a, so

*k = *(&j)         // since k = &j
*&j = j = 6024
**k = **(&j) = *(*&j) = *j = *(&i) = *&i = i = 3

What will be output of following program?
#include<stdio.h> 
int main() {

int i = 3;
int *j;
int **k;
j = &i;
k = &j;
printf("%u %u %u",i,j,k);
return 0;
}
Output: 3 address address

What will be output of following program?
#include<stdio.h>
int main() {

int i = 5 , j;
int *p , *q;
p = &i;
q = &j;
j = 5;
printf("%d %d",*p,*q);
return 0;
}
Output: 5 5

What will be output of following program?
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
int main() {

int a = 5, b = 10, c;
int *p = &a, *q = &b;

c = p - q;
printf("%d", c);
return 0;
}
Output: 1
The difference of two same type of pointer is always one.

What will be output of following program?
#include<stdio.h>
int main() {

int a = 320;
char *ptr;              // use int *ptr; output is 320
ptr =( char *)&a;
printf("%d ",*ptr);
return 0;
}
Output: 64

As we know “int” is two-byte data byte while “char” is one-byte data byte. “char” pointer can keep the address one byte at a time.

Binary value of 320 is 00000001 01000000 (In 16 bit)
Memory representation of int a = 320 is:


So ptr is pointing only first 8 bit and its decimal value is 64.

What will be output of following program?
#include<stdio.h>
int main() {

int a = 10;
void *p = &a;
int *ptr = p;
printf("%u",*ptr);
return 0;
}
Output: 10
void pointer can hold the address of any data type without type casting. Any pointer can hold void pointer without type casting.

Introduction To Algorithms, 3rd Edition

Before there were computers, there were algorithms. But now that there are computers, there are even more algorithms, and algorithms lie at the heart of computing. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the modern study of computer algorithms. It presents many algorithms and covers them in considerable depth, yet makes their design and analysis accessible to all levels of readers. In this book, the authors tried to keep explanations elementary without sacrificing depth of coverage or mathematical rigor. Each chapter presents an algorithm, a design technique, an application area, or a related topic. Algorithms are described in English and in a pseudocode designed to be readable by anyone who has done a little programming. The book contains 244 figures — many with multiple parts — illustrating how the algorithms work. It also includes careful analysis of the running times of all algorithms. In this third edition, the entire book once again updated including changes cove...

C Program To Check Whether A Number Is Palindrome Or Not.

This program takes an integer from user and the integer is reversed. If the reversed integer is equal to the integer entered by user then that number is a palindrome. If not that number is not a palindrome.   #include <stdio.h> int main()  { int num, temp, remainder, reverse = 0; printf("Enter an integer: "); scanf("%d", &num); /*  original number is stored at temp */ temp = num; while (num > 0)  { remainder = num % 10; reverse = reverse * 10 + remainder; num /= 10;   }

The Basics Of C Programming - Part 3.

There are a number of different C input commands, the most useful of which is the scanf command. To read a single integer value into the variable called a you can use: scanf("%d",&a); When the program reaches the scanf statement it pauses to give the user time to type something on the keyboard and continues only when users press Enter or Return, to signal that he, or she, has finished entering the value. Then the program continues with the new value stored in a. In this way, each time the program is run the user gets a chance to type in a different value to the variable and the program also gets the chance to produce a different result! The final missing piece in the jigsaw is using the printf function, the one we use to print the value currently being stored in a variable. To display the value stored in the variable a you can use: printf("The value stored in a is %d",a); Note: the scanf function does not prompt for an input. You should ge...
