Q:

main()

{

char *p; p = "Hello";

printf ("%cn", *&*p);

}

A) H B) Hello
C) Compilation error D) H E L L O
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 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

Q:

main()

{

char s[ ] = "man";

int i;

for( i=0; s[ i ]; i++)

printf( "n%c%c%c%c", s[ i ], *(s+i), *(i+s), i[s] );

}

A) mmmm aaaa nnnn B) aaaa mmmm nnnn
C) nnnn aaaa mmmm D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) mmmm aaaa nnnn

Explanation:

s[i], *(i+s), *(s+i), i[s] are all different ways of expressing the same idea.Generally array name is the base address for that array. Here s is the base address. i is the index number/displacement from the base address. So, indirecting it with * is same as s[i]. i[s] may be surprising. But in the case of C it is same as s[i].

Q:

#define clrscr() 100

main()

{

clrscr();

printf( "%dn", clrscr() );

}

A) 100 B) 0
C) Compilation error D) Exception occurs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 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 problem.
