(4) In the following code segment what will be the result of the function,value
of x , value of y

{unsigned int x=-1;

int y;

y = ~0;

if(x == y)

printf("same");

else

}

same, MAXINT, -1

b) not same, MAXINT, -MAXINT

c) same , MAXUNIT, -1

(5) What will be the result of the following program?

char *gxxx()

{static char xxx[1024];

return xxx;

}

main()

{char *g="string";

strcpy(gxxx(),g);

g = gxxx();

{char *g="String";

myalloc(g,20);

strcpy(g,"Oldstring");

printf("The string is %s",g);

}

The string is : String

d) Syntax error during compilation

e) None of these

(7)What will be the result of the following program?

main()

{char p[]="String";

int x=0;

if(p=="String")

{printf("Pass 1");

if(p[sizeof(p)-2]=='g')

printf("Pass 2");

else

printf("Fail 2");

}

else

{

printf("Fail 1");

if(p[sizeof(p)-2]=='g')

printf("Pass
2");

else
printf("Fail 2");
}
}

Pass
1, Pass 2

b) Fail 1, Fail 2

c) Pass 1, Fail 2

d) Fail 1, Pass 2

e) syntax error during compilation

(8) Which of the choices is true for the mentioned declaration?

const char *p;

and

char * const p;


a)You can't change the character in both

b) First : You can't change the characterr & Second : You can;t change the pointer

c) You can't change the pointer in both

d) First : You can't change the pointer & Second : You can't chanage the character

e) None

(9) Given the following c program

func(int *i, int*j)

{*i=*i * *i;

*j=*j* *j;

}

main()

{ int i = 5, j = 2;

func(&i,&j);

printf("%d %d", i, j);}

What is the output?

(10) For the following C program

void insert(key,r)

typekey key,data array r;

{extern int n;

if(n>=max) /*error table if full */

else r[n++].k=key;

}

This on executing, enables

a)basic sequential search

b) Binary search

c) Interpolation search

d) None
