21.
#define square(x) x*x 
main()
{
        int i;
        i = 64/square(4);
        printf("%d",i);
}


Answer:

64

Explanation:

the macro call square(4) will substituted by 4*4 so the expression becomes i

= 64/4*4 . Since / and * has equal priority the expression will be evaluated as (64/4)*4 i.e.

16*4 = 64


22.
main()
{
        char *p="hai friends",*p1;
        p1=p;
        while(*p!='\0') ++*p++;
        printf("%s   %s",p,p1);
}

Answer:

ibj!gsjfoet

Explanation:

++*p++ will be parse in the given order

     *p that is value at the location currently pointed by p will be taken

     ++*p the retrieved value will be incremented

     when ; is encountered the location will be incremented that is p++ will be executed

Hence, in the while loop initial value pointed by p is ‘h’, which is changed to ‘i’ by executing

++*p and pointer moves to point, ‘a’ which is similarly changed to ‘b’ and so on. Similarly blank space is converted to ‘!’. Thus, we obtain value in p becomes “ibj!gsjfoet” and since p reaches ‘\0’ and p1 points to p thus p1doesnot print anything.


23.
#include <stdio.h>
#define a 10
main()
{
        #define a 50
        printf("%d",a);
}

Answer:

50


Explanation:

The preprocessor directives can be redefined anywhere in the program. So the most recently assigned value will be taken.


24.
#define clrscr() 100
main()
{
        clrscr();
        printf("%d\n",clrscr());
}

Answer:

100

Explanation:

Preprocessor  executes  as  a  seperate  pass  before  the  execution  of  the
compiler. So textual replacement of clrscr() to 100 occurs.The input   program to compiler looks like this :
main()
{
        100;
        printf("%d\n",100);
}

Note:

100; is an executable statement but with no action. So it doesn't give any error



25.
main()
{
        printf("%p",main);
}

Answer:

Some address will be printed.

Explanation:

Function names are just addresses (just like array names are addresses). main() is also a function. So the address of function main will be printed. %p in printf specifies that the argument is an address. They are printed as hexadecimal numbers.


27)        
 main()
{
        clrscr();
}
clrscr();


Answer:

No output/error

Explanation:

The first clrscr() occurs inside a function. So it becomes a function call. In the second  clrscr();  is  a  function  declaration  (because  it  is  not  inside  any function).


28)         
enum colors {BLACK,BLUE,GREEN}
main()
{
        printf("%d..%d..%d",BLACK,BLUE,GREEN);
        return(1);
}

Answer:

0..1..2

Explanation:

enum assigns numbers starting from 0, if not explicitly defined.


29)        
 void main()
{
        char far *farther,*farthest;
        printf("%d..%d",sizeof(farther),sizeof(farthest));
}

Answer:

4..2

Explanation:

the second pointer is of char type and not a far pointer


30)         
main()
{
        int i=400,j=300;
        printf("%d..%d");
}

Answer:

400..300

Explanation:

printf takes the values of  the first two assignments of  the program. Any number of printf's may be given. All of them take only the first two values. If more  number  of  assignments  given  in  the  program,then  printf  will  take garbage values.


31)         
main()
{
        char *p;
        p="Hello";
        printf("%c\n",*&*p);
}

Answer:

H

Explanation:

* is a dereference operator & is a reference  operator. They can be         applied any number of times provided it is meaningful. Here   p points to   the first character in the string "Hello". *p dereferences it and so its value is H. Again
& references it to an address and * dereferences it to the value H.


32)         
main()
{
        int i=1;
        while (i<=5)
        {
                printf("%d",i);
                if (i>2)
                        goto here;
                i++;
        }
}
fun()
{
        here:
        printf("PP");
}

Answer:

Compiler error: Undefined label 'here' in function main

Explanation:

Labels have functions scope, in other words the scope of the labels is limited to functions. The label 'here' is available in function fun() Hence it is not visible in function main.


33)         
main()
{
        static char names[5][20]={"pascal","ada","cobol","fortran","perl"};
        int i;
        char *t;
        t=names[3];
        names[3]=names[4];
        names[4]=t;
        for (i=0;i<=4;i++)
               printf("%s",names[i]);
}

Answer:

Compiler error: Lvalue required in function main

Explanation:

Array names are pointer constants. So it cannot be modified.


34)        
 void main()
{
        int i=5;
        printf("%d",i++ + ++i);
}

Answer:

Output Cannot be predicted exactly.

Explanation:

Side effects are involved in the evaluation of   i


35)         
void main()
{
        int i=5;
        printf("%d",i+++++i);
}

Answer:

Compiler Error

Explanation:

The  expression  i+++++i  is  parsed  as  i  ++  ++  +  i  which  is  an  illegal combination of operators.


36)         
#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
        int i=1,j=2;
        switch(i)
       {
                case 1:  printf("GOOD");
                             break;
                case j:  printf("BAD");
                            break;
        }
}

Answer:

Compiler Error: Constant expression required in function main.

Explanation:
The case statement can have only constant expressions (this implies that we cannot use variable names directly so an error).

Note:

Enumerated types can be used in case statements.



37)         
main()
{
        int i;
        printf("%d",scanf("%d",&i));  // value 10 is given as input here
}


Answer:

1

Explanation:

Scanf returns number of items successfully read and not 1/0.   Here 10 is given as input which should have been scanned successfully. So number of items read is 1.


38)         
#define f(g,g2) g##g2
main()
{
        int var12=100;
        printf("%d",f(var,12));
}

Answer:

100


39)        
 main()
{
        int i=0;
        for(;i++;printf("%d",i)) ;
        printf("%d",i);
}

Answer:

1

Explanation:

before entering into the for loop the checking condition is "evaluated". Here it evaluates to 0 (false) and comes out of the loop, and i is incremented (note the semicolon after the for loop).


40)         
#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
        char s[]={'a','b','c','\n','c','\0'};
        char *p,*str,*str1;
        p=&s[3];
        str=p;
        str1=s;
        printf("%d",++*p + ++*str1-32);
}

Answer:

M

Explanation:

p  is  pointing  to  character  '\n'.str1  is  pointing  to  character  'a'  ++*p meAnswer:"p is pointing to '\n' and that is incremented by one." the ASCII value of '\n' is 10. then it is incremented to 11. the value of ++*p is 11. ++*str1 meAnswer:"str1 is pointing to 'a' that is incremented by 1 and it becomes 'b'. ASCII value of 'b' is 98. both 11 and 98 is added and result is subtracted from
32.

i.e. (11+98-32)=77("M");
