C Aptitude 19
C program is one of most popular programming language which is used for core level of coding across the board. C program is used for operating systems, embedded systems, system engineering, word processors,hard ware drivers, etc.

In this site, we have discussed various type of C programs till date and from now on, we will move further by looking at the C aptitude questions.

In the coming days, we will post C aptitude questions, answers and explanation for interview preparations.

The C aptitude questions and answers for those questions along with explanation for the interview related queries.

We hope that this questions and answers series on C program will help students and freshers who are looking for a job, and also programmers who are looking to update their aptitude on C program.
Some of the illustrated examples will be from the various companies, and IT industry experts.

Predict the output or error(s) for the following:

C aptitude 19.1

  main()
            {
            int k=1;
            printf("%d==1 is ""%s",k,k==1?"TRUE":"FALSE");
            }

Answer: 1==1 is TRUE

Explanation: When two strings are placed together (or separated by white-space) they are concatenated (this is called as “stringization” operation). So the string is as if it is given as “%d==1 is %s”. The conditional operator( ?: ) evaluates to “TRUE”.

C aptitude 19.2

  main()
            {
            int y;
            scanf("%d",&y); // input given is 2000
            if( (y%4==0 && y%100 != 0) || y%100 == 0 )
                 printf("%d is a leap year");
            else
                 printf("%d is not a leap year");
            }

Answer: 2000 is a leap year

Explanation: An ordinary program to check if leap year or not.

C aptitude 19.3

     #define max 5
            #define int arr1[max]
            main()
            {
            typedef char arr2[max];
            arr1 list={0,1,2,3,4};
            arr2 name="name";
            printf("%d %s",list[0],name);
            }

Answer: Compiler error (in the line arr1 list = {0,1,2,3,4})

Explanation: arr2 is declared of type array of size 5 of characters. So it can be used to declare the variable name of the type arr2. But it is not the case of arr1. Hence an error. Rule of Thumb: #defines are used for textual replacement whereas typedefs are used for declaring new types.

C aptitude 19.4

      int i=10;
            main()
            {
             extern int i;
              {
                 int i=20;
                        {
                         const volatile unsigned i=30;
                         printf("%d",i);
                        }
                  printf("%d",i);
               }
            printf("%d",i);
            }

Answer: 30,20,10

Explanation: a'{‘ introduces new block and thus new scope. In the innermost block i is declared as, const volatile unsigned which is a valid declaration. i is assumed of type int. So printf prints 30. In the next block, i has value 20 and so printf prints 20. In the outermost block, i is declared as extern, so no storage space is allocated for it. After compilation is over the linker resolves it to global variable i (since it is the only variable visible there). So it prints i’s value as 10.
